Change to hex third seal

[TurntUpToaster]

probably going to get flamed for this, but oh well, for the longest time, Windows of Opportunity has sat at the top of the survivor most-picked perk, which is fine, but it really hasn't seen any changes. My proposal is that they change hex third seal to work like plaything, as hex third seal just isn't worth the risk ATM to run, but if it worked like plaything, I definitely feel it would be heaps more viable. as this wouldn't affect gameplay all that much, and survivors would have to spend a little extra time looking for their totem, cheers for reading!

why would people run third seal that acts like plaything when they can just run plaything or vice versa

Since OP mentioned WoO, I’m guessing it’s because Plaything doesn’t cause blindness. Personally, I don’t think a blindness Hex should be as powerful as an oblivious Hex, because blindness messes with a lot more than WoO (which is both overrated and overhated, IMO). It also messes with Bond, Kindred, and similar perks that only benefit solo queue. Giving every survivor their own Hex totem for Third Seal would overly punish solo survivors (and they’re already punished enough).

NTM, the activation for Plaything requires a heck of a lot more skill from the killer than the activation for Third Seal does. You have to spread hooks to get true value from Plaything. For Third Seal to activate, you just have to attack everyone.

Hex third seal doesnt need to be nerfed just break the totem and boom its done not to mention third seal was in the game before plaything so plaything is the perk that needs buffing not nerfing third seal

Honestly I get ya but sacrificing 4/5 totems purely for Third seal is nowhere near worth it imo, Makes sense for Plaything because it's super strong but Thirdseal yeahh

Some hex really need to get buff third seal is good example of that. I would not mind WoO so much if i had the option to blind survivor more than 5 second.

Depends. Having synergy with penti makes it a lot stronger. It also takes significantly more effort to remove (and you can't lose it as you're loading in). Third seal generally isn't used in shaman builds so I don't think making it like PT would harm it at all.
