Rework Totem Spawns
Hex builds are so hit or miss it's just luck of the draw whether your totem is actually going to spawn hidden in a nook somewhere or right next to a wall out in the open for the world to see. Totem spawns are long overdo for a pass to get rid of some of the worse spawn locations, while also ensuring that the killer isn't completely wasting a perk slot:
- Remove open spawn locations, or move them to better locations. Totems should always be in a corner, between objects, or between foliage: never out in the open or against an I wall.
- Remove the possibility of a killer's Hex Totem spawning right next to survivor starting locations. Dull Totems are fine, but if the game sees a survivor is set to spawn immediately next to a Hex Totem it should reroll the spawn location for either the survivor or the Hex Totem.

Totems were designed as an alternate objective that can get survivors off gens for a bit.
However, when one spawns right next to a survivor's starting location there is very little you as a killer can do to get there in time - that's not good design, and it's easily fixable.
I play both sides pretty evenly and know the frustrations of both, but thanks for your concern. I'd appreciate a bit of introspection on your part as well before you try to call someone out for giving feedback on a feedback and suggestions forum, thanks.

I agree with you, the totem spots suck.

I doubt that totem spawn location change alone will be enough.
It would make more sense to let killers rekindle their hexes if they do perform certain actions, like land X amount of successful hits on survivors or down survivors X amount of times. Another alternative could be a long cooldown after which their hex could be applied to the remaining dull totem on the map.

Apparently there is no possible way to program this kind of stuff out of the game, because after 8 years it still hasn't been fixed

I agree, i do also play both sides.
And as a killer, by experience i learned to never ever run totem builds, because in 90% of the games the totems go within 2 minutes.
Almost any gen regression perk is better.

It would only be fair that hex totems dont spawn at the edge of the map to, sometimes i go to corner to corner of the map to find a totem and its miserable.
And i feel like killers physically have to kindle the hex themselves unless its one thats applied automatically like hex:third seal

I honestly gave up that they will ever improve them. They don’t even try.
