Boons and Hexes, Oh my

But that's not how they actually function. There is no reward. They work for a minute and by then all of them have been either boon'd over or destroyed.
For something to be high risk high reward, there needs to be a chance for me to actually properly be able to utilize them, but there is none. Survivors with enough hours played to know what Hexes can do will just make them useless unless I use up half my slots to maybe edge out a few seconds to defend them. With how easy it is for survivors, who have no time pressure, to dismantle them, I shouldnt have to run a full build dedicated to hexes to utilize maybe 2 hex perks.

Then remove Hexes, or replace them with something that actually works without requiring full investment.
With this argument, you might as well say "Never play Hexes, they are useless" which is a really good argument when your supposed punchline is that asking for buffs if dumb.

But without a boon, I can use Pentimento. Which is one of, if not the definitive, perk that's supposed to make Hex Builds work.
People say "you need to make your entire build cater to hexes if you want any individual hex perk to be worth taking, and then I take one of those perks, and it is entirely negated by a random survivor having a boon.

Imagine if any Survivor Perk was bound to the Killer not doing some arbitrary low effort action.
People would riot immediately.
"You can only use lithe as long as one random crow on the map has not been disturbed"
I mean, only need to pick up the "Crows arent disturbed when you are within 8 feet" perk and stay close to your crow the entire game, which totally justifies that this perk of yours is bound to an arbitrary object not being interacted with.

Picking a boon always has a benefit. The only way a boon becomes a liability is when you face a Killer with both shattered hope and Pentimento. While picking Shattered Hope is a gamble that anyone even brings a boon, and Pentimento alone is a gamble that noone has a boon.

There simply is a clear discrepency in the value between picking Hexes, picking Hexes with defences, picking hexes without defences, and picking 2 very specific perks that can just be entirely useless.

There is a reason Hexes were only ever Meta when Ruin caused 200% regression.
I just dont get how the proposition of an entire class of perks that only work if you, first, dedicate your entire build to it and second, the survivors are oblivious to that build enough to let you play it out, is fun.

And supposedly we hate things that aren't fun here.

I want Hexes, which are already half useless every game, to not have an additional weakness, by having a hardcounter.
If they are strong enough fine, but the strength of hexes is irrelevant when the only way that power comes into play is if you play your entire build catered to them, or you are playing against rather bad survivors.
Survivors have no time pressure. The Killer is the one who effectively only has 450 Seconds to win.
I can already not commit to long chases because I lose gen pressure, if I now also cant commit to gen pressure because I have to defend randomly placed totems because otherwise I dont have any perks because to make those perks do something I have to pick only perks that work with totems, then Hexes are not powerful. They are obsolete in a world where survivors know that glowing Totems mean something bad is happening. Which is compounded by the game telling survivors which perk they are affected by so they can perfectly pinpoint what the hex is even doing.

The power argument is irrelevant here, because the power is limited by factors that makes playing Hexes useless.
Draculas new Hex Perk gives you 33% repair time reduction to a single survivor, and only after a gen is completed and even then, the affected Survivor sees the totem if they are close to it. Is that really so powerful that to have this effect be meaningful at all, I have to pick up 2 more perks to make sure it isn't cleansed by someone randomly stumbling across it? It's effectively a worse version of Pentimento. And Pentimentos weakness is that noone cleanses dull totems, and unless you can get 5 active totems at some point you cant ever play it to it's full efficiency meaning best case is 30% less repair speed for all survivors. Only if they do not see Pentimento show up when they repair and immediately going back to where the last cleansed totem was.

Hexes add patrol points, meaning they are already kinda bad on anything that doesnt have good movement or can set up traps.

It's also really funny to see people complain that killers have weird requests when survivors cry about literally anything any Killer can do they dont like. Currently they are asking for basekit unbreakable because Killers got Yellow Mori Basekit, and they believe that means they slug more.

More than half of all Hex Perks are picked less often than people playing completely without perks
