Totems don't make any sense

The whole Totem mechanic should be reworked.

  1. It's an enormous risk versus reward system right now and depending on when your hex totems are cleansed the game changes tremendously - to the point that now killers are just dcing if their hex totem is cleansed early
  2. Dull Totems don't make any sense. As a survivor it's better to not cleanse dull Totems and only Hex Totems. If you have cleansed 4 Totems by the time NOED kicks in, it's very unlikely that you will find the last now active Hex Totem. On the other hand if you found 4 Dull Totems and didn't cleanse them, you now have a 4/5 chance to know exactly where the Hex Totem is. This is the ultimate N00b trap and weak game design.

All in all the Totem mechanic is so badly designed, it should be changed.

    killers should be able to rehex totems

    Retain the powers base effect after broken like tokens and such.

    Place original hex spawn so he can choose one that's yknow not next to a gen on a hill.

    That can all be added just put a skillcheck on it or something

    For me I dont bother using hexs because its not a risk reward its gone 1 minute into the match because there's too many counters and now im gimped to 3 slots

    As a survivor I don't cleanse totems because if its lit most of them are traps or exceedingly weak. I can steamroll ruin now and everything else only works if I break it. Noed ? The gates are open i just walk out ive never been killed for it
