• I think totems are largely fine on their own. They are high-risk and high-reward, and I believe the intentional decision of making them hard to defend for prolonged periods of time is a fair decision. Hexes already slow down survivor objectives, as every second spent searching for and cleansing a totem is not spent repairing generators. That said, I do think that hexes should avoid spawning near survivors at the start of games. I have seen instances of survivors spawning facing active hex totems, which is (needless to say) aggravating for killers.

  They gave me downvotes but haven't say anything. Running scourges is like running hexes, it's risk for reward. I personally don't struggle utilize scourge hooks, but if I don't run pain res I pop on jagged compass and I can create 100 % scourges around map.

  It is definitely a risk for reward, but unfortunately the scourge hook placements can feel so devastating. This isn't a regular occurrence in games, it's only an issue maybe 1 in 10 matches, but it's often enough especially on larger maps or maps with multiple floors to be irksome. I get part of the strategy to mitigate this is to push survivors towards the hooks, but with survivors gaining massive system improvements to cut down on tunneling/slugging, I don't believe it's too out of the question to address such a relatively niche pain in the neck for Killer.
