Hex: pentimento doesn't work with boons?

[Loving Wound]

What the is the point of this perk if it doesn't work with boons? If this perk was released before boons it would have been good, but since boons released it is basically useless.

WHY did it release this way???

[Grim]

Why not?

[Panfur]

Hex: pentimento is used on broken totems... if they boon it's doesn't broke the totem so, yes it is useless

Because it's another useless perk.

Perks that have counterplay are useless now? Go figure.
There are still perks that require you to break totems for their effect to take hold, like Inner Strength. NOED is still a threat that should be forcing survivors to break totems. Even if boon totems didn't exist, what would that effect? The counterplay would be as simple as "don't cleanse dulls" and you'd still not see value out of the perk.
Besides, for the boons to truly make an impact, you need to rely on all or most of the survivors bringing boon perks, and even then, if you have other hexes, it's faster to break than to boon. If more survivors have no boon perks than ones that do, you'll probably still see bones getting broken.

The moment they have boons, there is no counter play. Using hexes is a wasted perk slot.

Also who the hell uses NOED?

[Magnate]

Only works on BROKEN totems.
Boons do not break totems.

In otherwords it only works on people who do bones, but don't bless them, in other words no one but low mmr players or when NOED is active.

well they are useless when the counterplay is used in nearly every match without even trying to counter it anyway

Wait for the Jonah hype to die down in a week or two and Pentimento will see more utility. The meta isn't a single fixed list, you know.

I see a boon pretty damn often even before Jonah, so I don't see Pentimento ever being usible.

And in my very first match today, I was playing survivor and Pentimento triggered no fewer than 3 times because a Jonah equipped Inner Strength and kept using it.
Pentimento was never going to be a meta perk, anyway, but it's silly to act like it's "omg totally useless" because of boons.

[ANDERSU]

because survivors give more money

Its only useful against destroyed totems and boons completely avoid that and give them a bonus, so yeah it is pretty damn band. Not silly at all to assume that the perk is completely danced around by boons is going to be garbage when people keep using boons.

That's any hex perk though. You want the devs to just stop adding hex perks because boons exist now? Why don't we just turn the existing hexes into global effects instead? What if we take totems out of the equation entirely and just have boon-uses plant their AOE anywhere they want? ffs
Pentimento is a niche perk with a niche use, whether boon totems exist or not. If you don't like it then don't use it, simple. Not every survivor runs or even owns boon perks. Not every match will the killer get 5 stacks of Devour. Every hex is a gamble.

[Loving Wound]

Exactly it's ♥♥♥♥ because it's too niche. Thanks for coming around with a strawman.
