Do you know if it's true that you can't destroy this special shiny / burning totem immediately at the start of the match? I hear that again and again that it should only be destroyed very late, otherwise the killer will have an advantage if it is destroyed too soon… Only nobody who tells me what exactly happens if it is destroyed too soon, if that is true and whether it is true that the special totem should only be destroyed many minutes after the start of the match… I'm annoyed, confused, can someone tell me more?!
I play on the PC, and always destroy it, some perks take advantage of this, if you start sabotaging the totem, the killer receives a message that I would still destroy it in principle
That's nonsense. There are only two hex perks that will put Survivorn at a disadvantage if the corresponding hex is destroyed. But kicking the totem later doesn't do anything.
The two hex perks with disadvantages are haunted grounds (all survivors are exposed for 60 seconds after being destroyed, ie they go down after a hit) and retribution (the killer sees survivor auras for 10 seconds, wow).
All other hex perks give the killer a more or less big advantage, which is why you should always run totems directly.
