Feels like Devour is a flat upgrade from this. It takes some setup time, but when it gets going, it makes everyone a one-tap (and eventually becomes even more powerful than that) without any of the drawback of giving survivors free heals if the totem gets cleansed.
Once the totem is found, survivors have the advantage of controlling it, because there are four of them and one killer. The killer's time is worth 4x as much as the survivors and the killer can't delegate - if survivors are cleansing/booning the totem, 3 other teammates are still progressing the match, while when the killer's snuffing it, no killer progress is being made.
A hex totem that struggles between hex and boon is a really cool idea, but I think the risk/reward isn't quite balanced.
Something that would help make the killer time investment worth it would be to make the Undying effect basekit - if the hex totem moves around the map to new dull totems every time it changes state, the perk would be more worthwhile. Because cleansing a hex is extremely easy once survivors know where it is and the resultant boon totem ensures that everyone can see it, SWF or no.
I don't think Devour is a flat upgrade, but it is better for more skilled players or killers that can easily secure kills to begin with. however, when devour is cleansed, it is GONE.
I felt like making a hex totem more like a control point would be an interesting concept. though, maybe toning down the survivor boons would make them think twice. part of the thing you have to remember is they have to be AWARE of it's existence and where it is. though I guess survivors would be.
though I did consider the idea of using the "it randomly swaps places with any dull totem" as a natural effect, I didn't know if that'd be too powerful for survivors who are likely gonna have an easier time finding it.
I genuinely appreciate the feedback, thanks for considering my contribution! -
as a killer main, I agree. just leave. stop t-bagging and BM'ing at the door, or I'm gonna start staring you down on hook so your friends can't save you. capiche?
