its not overpowered its just very cheap, primarily towards solo survivors (which youll be going against far more often than sweaty 4 mans, despite what this sub will lead you to believe) who simply dont have the information to reliably deal with it like they can with literally every other hex, and thats assuming they can even search for them and arent spending the game getting chased by the killer or having to go off and save teammates, made all the more annoying by the fact that killer gets a pretty damn significant reward for doing absolutely fuck all, and that the perk doesnt announce itself until someone is already dying on the floor.

the only way you really stand a chance is by running detectives hunch or small game, and even then some totem spawns are downright brutal

it has its strength, but its just a poorly designed bandaid for a larger problem with the game.
