Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Thrill Of The Hunt and Third Seal buff suggestions

I think it might be a cool idea to buff the weaker totems by making them spawn some extra totems on the map. For example, you'd have 2 extra totems on the map for using TOTH and the same for Third Seal. This way you'll get 7 totems total if you used one of them, and 9 totems total if you used both.

Now it might seem like not a buff at all, and it's not really much of a game changer, but it gives the user a bit of an incentive for using the borderline useless totems - TOTH is nice for locating totem cleansers, and there's also use for Third Seal if you use the right tactics, and having 7 or 9 on the map totems would actually make a slight difference:

TOTH: instead of 5x 6%/8%/10% slowdown for totem cleansing you get 9x 6%/8%/10% slowdown at the beginning of the match, so a survivor spawning next to Ruin won't necessarily mean the hex will be gone easily. A 90% slowdown for cleansing instead of the previous 50% would let the killer get to the totem before it's gone, and the survivors would need to devise a decoy strategy to get it or wait until the killer's preoccupied with something before just rushing towards the hex.

Furthermore, you'd also get a bigger bonus to bloodpoints from remaining totems, which still is a ridiculously small amount, considering the rules stay for

Gain 6/8/10 % more Bloodpoints for actions in the Hunter category for each Token.

Perhaps change it bonus for bloodpoints in general after the match, as well.

Having more that 5 totems on the map would also mean wider leeway for NOED when playing against SWF groups keeping count of clearing all 5 totems in a map before powering up the gates.

    I think they should apply an aura buff to TOTH. The killer sees the aura of the one cleansing a hex totem for the entire cleanse duration + 4 seconds after either a succeful cleanse or abrupt stop.

    I'd really prefer something that would increase the amount of hex totems and some more Hex perks that would rely on their number as well. I feel like the whole totem perk idea was abandoned even though the whole mechanic is still very relevant and useful when it comes for Ruin and Devour Hope.

    TOTH : You're aware that they actually nerfed TOTH before right ? So I heavily doubt they'll boost back the numbers. It used to be a 10% slowdown by totem, which turned into a 6%

    I agree with the buff of all totems and make them all dull totems that way the hex u use no matter what it is the survives r more likely to run buy it then destroy it.. I play as the surviver alot now because of the challenge. but would like a buff of sorts to help in the fog.....
