Please stop cleansing all the dull totems!

[Goblin King]

I keep having newbie survivors who cleanse every dull totem on the map.

Most of you know this is extremely counterproductive, for many obvious reasons. However let me repeat them to help new survivors not do this mistake:

1) It takes time away from actually useful tasks such as powering generators.
2) It prevents your fellow players to put Boons. Boons are extremely powerful, and you getting rid of a dull totem may mean they can't put a boon there.
3) If the killer has Hex: Pentimento, each cleansed totem inflicts a debuff on your team
4) Hex: NOED has been badly nerfed, and is rarely used by killers.

♥♥♥♥ your boon, I'm using inner strength.

But the juicy points :c

[Lightning Rider]

>points
>perks that require cleansing
>anti-noed
>tome challenges

I'd do it just for the points and besides pentimentio isn't that common

I would add that Haddie's perk is not worth it considering how easily you lose the boost, it can be good if you break a hex but only in that case.
I see everyday so many people breaking totems in good spots preventing others to use Boons, most times they don't even have perks to justify that.

Yeah I'll start doing that when BHVR stops making those awful cleanse all totem challenges.

But besides that, It depends on the killer and their play style whether it's a good idea to do dull totems for NOED. Also If someone has a boon and sets it up early usually people stop cleaning totems.

More worse than cleansing totems is to make exit gates 99%. Its not countable how many times i died because i was chased and ran to the exit gates and they were not opened! The endgame timer is soooo long, its easily time for saving 3-4 survivors from hooks and/or finding and destroying the noed totem.

99% exit gate is a good srat, but newbs look at good players and imitate them without understand why the good players do what they do. That gets you into situations where an exit get being 99% gets your teammates killed.

it's good to 99% gates when you know you can get them open when they need to open. If you can hang around the exit gate safely and open it in time when you see people running towards you, you are doing it right.

you should 99 exit gates when you see killer downing someone and start carrying them. That saves you from a blood warden Do not open until after the survivor has been hooked.

There are multiple reasons to 99%, open or not to open that gate depending on how the match is going. 99% isn't always bad and it isn't always good.

No I will continue to cleanse everyone and I have 2,000 hours played. I do it for extra points and challenges. I’ll play the game how ever I want.

Please stop using forums to tell people how to play.
1) It takes time away from participating in actually useful discussions.
2) It prevents fellow forum users from getting attention to their usefull topics. Ability of discusiion is extremely powerful, and your spread of bad discussions and whining prevents smart people from putting good conversations.
3) If troll comes to your topic he will bumb it up, swarming first page with useless topics.
4) HEX noded is still used and still gets +1 kill.

Fair, but don't complain if I disconnect, leave you on hook, or lead the killer straight to you when you are dead on hook as I tend to not help players who are dead weight.

Booning gives more points and is infinite.

Okay I hear you.
I hear you...
Counterpoint: NOED
When that ♥♥♥♥ pops it's either extremely difficult to find or so piss easy that it's pointless

I've had to many matches where we play really well only to get screwed by it in the end and no one is able to find it until it's to late.

Okay yeah now it's made easier to find but we could prevent it entirely which is what I do to support what little of a team I have or support myself since it always sucks to be that survivor that's in a chase and you get blind-sided by it because the last gen popped right when you didn't need it to.

Bonus points to have NOED be the final totem near a hooked survivor that is being camped by the killer with NO counterplay at all at that point.

[The Spu]

they don't want to deal with NOED, it's a noob stomping perk.
