Increase Boon Totem range.

Boon perks have long since stopped being as popular as they once were, and after changes to Boon: Circle of Healing they are no longer frustrating to play against.

Currently the Boon Totem's range is 24 meters which is rather short considering some of the bad locations of the totems are far away so that it does not allow easy benefit of the Boon Totem.

I think the range should be increased to 28 meters.

What do you think?

The range should be increased more, such as 30 or more.

    The Range should remain the same, the effects should be buffed or altered to be more useful.

    32 meters.

    That’s my opinion.

    As probably the only one real Boon user here, Boons are in a completely fine spot. Dark Theory and Illumination could see a buff, other than that definately will be overkill to already strong perks.

    I’m willing to try 32 meters and then go up from there if need be.

    The boon ability should be considered when it comes to range

    Boon perks as a concept are flawed in design. For them to get buffs there would need to be core changes to how they work. IE buff them, but not Shattered Hope is base kit(why was it made a perk to begin with? The player base all has the same question). In general a killer just does not have time for extra secondary objectives to manage when they already don't have time for their objective to begin with and generally speaking, it costs the killer more time to snuff one out than it costs the team to place it. So snuffing a boon, isn't really a negative like it's "supposed" to be. IE if one survivors spent the whole game just boon spamming and I was spamming snuffing it over and over, that's a net win for the survivors. Even though snuffing is supposed to be the counter play, but it's not.
