It really is about time. She has been an obvious outlier in terms of performance and fun since shortly after get release when everyone realized how good she really is.

This is the hill you want to die on?

in The developers of this game just don't listen to feedback do they? Comment by hiC October 31, 2019

It’s extremely weak for an ultra rare add-on now. I honestly can’t think of a practical use for it as a 7000 BP item. It’s too risky to use in a chase. I’d rather bring a ranger medkit plus Botany if I’m going to be healing teammates. I guess best case scenario is you pop it on yourself and get to do a gen while healing?

The game’s balance is in a lot different place last year compared to last. Last Halloween the general consensus was that a secondary objective would be a reasonable balance change. I wouldn’t be surprised if survival rates had something to do with not having a secondary objective this year. Killers are in a much better spot since last October. It really doesn’t feel like survivors could handle a secondary objective and still have a reasonable chance at escaping right now.

As far as I've been aware totems give Boldness, not Objectives. I could be wrong, but I was pretty sure it was boldness.

That’s correct; totems award boldness.

If we keep making threads about it we’re not going to be able to say it’s underrated anymore.

The ranking system rewards cooperation by the survivors and the killer.
If the killer doesn't camp and tunnel and methodically hooks each survivor , such that everyone is on their last hook at the same time, at which point if they escape it doesn't matter to much.
Meanwhile, the survivors should play slowly, respect the threat of the killer. Heal themselves when injured, etc. By doing so, by the time they die or escape they will surely pip as well.
If both sides play their part everyone gets a bunch of blood points and a ranks up.
I'm not talking about cooperative farming, in which both sides are aware its a joke. Though this can be done as well to accomplish the same task.
In any case. Playing more selfishly will result in a more uneven distribution of results. Ranks will be lost by 2 or 3 of the survivors and the killer will safety or derank as well.
Killers can't rank up without giving the survivors every chance to escape (with the exception of brown ranks, where because you often 4k without a single generator being done you'll 1 pip). Which is troubling since there are emblems which cannot be effectively achieved without the cooperation of the survivors, especially at high ranks.
Survivors can rank up however, by gen rushing and leaving, simple because of the way the emblem system currently distributes rank points.
I could break down the flaws in the current emblem system and its contradictory nature with the killers version which promotes quasi cooperation, while the survivor version promotes a gen rush for a possible rank up and quasi cooperation (less obvious then gen rush and more difficult) for a guaranteed rank up regardless of death or escape.

I’m following you all the way until the part about survivors being able to pip by doing gens and leaving; that part isn’t accurate. The survivors suffer from the same required cooperation by the other side as the killer. Really great explanation of the flaws, though!
