Making Boon Perks and Hexes worth a while (Fix/Buff)
Boon perks or Hexes have a low usage rate and I rarely see them used in the 4 years that I played. You can easily Buff Boons and Hexes but I want to change how they function. I find Boons and Hexes interesting because they encourage you to play differently.
Therefore my goal is to encourage players to run them more often. If you think Boon Perks and Hexes are fine or you think differently than me, I'd like to know.
My Problems with Boon Perks
They take away time from doing gens, are sometimes not worth it nor can be snuffed immediately.
My Problems with Hexes
Their survivability is low or they do not have a strong enough effect.

Comments
at the very minimun all hexes should be entity blocked for the first 30 seconds of a trial. The fact this isn't a think yet is insane to me .
Why did my comment get removed/deleted?
I don't know either but when I edited my post, the post was reviewed
Ah maybe, because of this. This happens when you edit stuff too often and when you have something like 200 posts this function disables. It is something against spam or so, but normally all comments appear again.
If you gonna buff boons to that much, finding them should be a lot easier
Currently sound que is extremely quiet and generally doesn't even reach the entire range
Lmao, 200% healing speed and recovery on 40m radius with full invisibility for 10 seconds action. Let me guess, your next suggestion will be buff to toolboxes, bring back old DH and make survivors 4.2m/s?
Haha, you are totally right. How did you know? But seriously, I tried to make all boons meta and be played every game. I overlooked how bad this buff is for Circle of Healing, + the rest that is overbuffed clearly. It can be tweaked by the Devs if they want. The Numbers are not important, as long as every boon is useful in a way that is fair. I am all for it.
I agree. Either the boons can maybe give a directional noise when the Killer is in range that is louder the closer you are. Or within a range you can see their aura. Also, the devs can tweak or slightly nerf boons if they are too powerful which I am fine with.
