    EDIT: Don't understand why every post I make is eaten, but to try again:

    (1) Only one totem can be picked up at a time, and while held the killer cannot pick up survivors or attack (or alternatively, can attack but the effect of the totem is deactivated). You could put a timer on picking this up (for example, it takes 10 seconds).

    (2) The killer can put down anywhere that is reachable by a survivor. You could experiment with other restrictions as well (can only re-position a specific totem once, etc.).

    Thoughts? This would solve the problem of survivors memorizing totem spots.

    The idea is kinda interesting!

    Would be nice to start holding the totem you want to place (HEX ones, obviously) to do it fast and avoid survivors spawning right in front of them, i just don't know how you would manage multiple HEXes on your build.

    Here's an idea: You start with the hex in an inventory. The killer chooses where he wants to put the hex. The Hex does not become active until the killer lays down the totem. Once the totem is placed and activated it cannot be repositioned. You can only reposition the totem if (1) no tokens have been earned for the totem yet or (2) no survivors have activated the hex yet. An example of the second one would be if no survivors tried a generator while ruin was placed.

    +1 At least the totem will be on killer's side not on survival's spawn or next to generator...

    I think the killer player should be given like 20 seconds before the match starts to select a spot on the map for their totems. Dont gotta make the character walk around, just make it possible to scroll through the map and click where ya want it.

    It'd be cool if we could relight them taking like 20 secs or something, and relight at different l;ocations.

    @AetherBytes That might be abit much with some of these perks... Survivors successfully defuse my devour, but I just turn around and relight a totem to 1 shot and mori them.

    @LordGlint simple, just remove tokens from it.
