I think it would be nice if we could know which hex is which. Either with a color code system or a number system, but I always find it annoying I run to the opposite side of the map to defend what I thought was my devour but was actually a different totem.
Speaking of that, on survivor side. When a hex activates, we get a hex cursed debuff icon, and some text appears for like one second, but that's it.
If you aren't paying attention to the top right corner of your screen and trying to focus on text that may or may not appear there, rather than actually playing the game, then you miss it. And then we're often wondering what hex we are affected by.
It would be nice if we press ESC and we could see a list of everything.
I believe this is the point though, because the game is designed around hidden information to maintain balance and tension between survivors and killers.
It would also mean Survivors would not be able to meaningfully split pressure on multiple hexes. As you would be able to see which hex is worthy to sacrifice for a play.
You kinda know super quick though, most hexes are readily apparent. If you don't know what hex it is and the killer is not a noob it's probably Devour Hope. Hexes are really hit oe miss for most killers anyways
