Creative idea for boon totems nerf

in Feedback and Suggestions

Instead of snuffing out, totem becomes a hex with opposite efects:


Circle of healing becomes anti-heal totem with 50% heal slowdown

Shadow step now makes survivors auras to be revealed in the radius and 4s after


Second idea is One of killer's cleansed hex perks can be reapplied to the totem


First of all killer now has reward for snuffing boons, and if survivors want to reapply boon they have to waste 24 secs on same totem


What do you think?

    Boons are easy enough to find as it is and shutting down two boons in a trial is the equivalent of one Pop charge in terms of time gained, this really isn't needed.

    They don't need nerf.

    All boons really need is a limitation to their use. The status effects and relighting of Hexes is too much for a 2 second action.

    Thank you for your opinion. I disagree

    We can make it longer then, let's say 4 seconds

    Eh, this is going to be a hilariously partisan issue. Survivors are going to defend them, as they defended OoO, instastuns and the old DS locker play. Killers are going to say they are OP.

    The truth is somewhere between.

    Boons are annoying, because they can do nothing, or can be overwhelmingly strong, depending on killer, map and group coordination. I don't like how they can allow groups to essentially heal in front of you mid-chase, the 'no scratches' one is a giant PITA on some maps, and the fact that cleansing it can be really fiddly to do in some positions, while they can immediately resummon one elsewhere.

    They are certainly 'un-fun' to go against, which got Wraith and Slinger nerfed so...there's that I guess.

    I'd prefer to see:

    • The boon totem's aura will be visible to the killer within a small radius (similar to the Small Game perk) and they can be cleansed from slightly further away. Right now, in a lot of spots you lose more time finding and trying to cleanse the thing than it's worth. Killers are far more time starved than survivors are.
    • Boon totems have a 90 second duration. After this duration expires, it turns back into a dull totem.
    • Cleansing a boon totem, or when one expires, you cannot create a new boon totem for 90 seconds.

    This turns it into more of a tactical decision, rather than a permanent escape zone.

    you only put out one second calm down boy

  • Bwsted Bwsted

    That'd make boons effectively more trash tier than no mither. Spend time to find and activate a perk that the killer can find with a beacon sound and turn in 2 sec into something that royally ######### you sideways.

    I'll concede it was creative, though.

    so people who agree with me can comment about my suggestion. Boon totems are strong I'm not discussing that

    I disagree, boons made my survivor games so much easier. They are strong and survivors can rebless them over and over. Playing killer was already hard, boons made it even harder.
