Shattered Hope should be base kit

That's not how this works. You replied to other people who "weren't talking to you". Either ignore me or provide an actual response please. I'm trying to you know, use this thread for it's intended purpose. A place to discuss this issue. It seems like you don't want me to reply to you because you didn't like what I said. You can express that without being passive aggressive.

Fair enough. It just read as a tad rude so I guess I got defensive because I disagreed with you. Sorry.

Stop with this nonsense comparison already pls. Killers have abilities that survivors don't and are quicker. Their perks are generally stronger in 1v1 sense. You can make this statement once you make the game symmetrical. Also survivors needs to mostly use same perk (and everyone at that) to partially counter something killers do for free (e.g. 4x OTR to REDUCE tunnel that doesn't need any perk).

To the original topic:

I would even argue boons CoH included are usually bad, because - medkits heal is better. Time to find totem + boon it + heal + all the risks of being found at any stage of this/time wasted (that could be in gens) + killers find it easy by sound/possibly already knew where they are.

Frankly I would never use boons as CoH is the only one barely worth it - and it's still inferior to old SC (running injured around the map and wasting 2mins to heal is not worth it) and that is the actual state.

The only saving grace are maps like ironworks (top of main) that waste also a lot of killers time. But that is just exception to rule.

Make shattered hope basekit and boons are dead. Boons are killers perk at that point.

As a Mikaela main I'm actually not bothered by Shattered Hope. Most of the time it literally does nothing for me because I memorized all totem spawn locations in the game and can find other totems very fast. It's a bad idea to reboon the same totem anyway because the killer already know its location, so I usually only really do it when it's a very good location where it wastes time for the killer to get to (second floor eyrie of crows, old RPD library, temple of purgation underground/second floor etc). By the time killer snuffs my first boon, I usually already have two or three other totems ready to use (it's my habit to check for spawn locations along the way where I go even if I don't need it right away).
