As a Killer main Iridescent Hatchets need a rework...

I'm sure it's been said that Hatchets were being looked at some point, but it seems awhile since BHVR addressed them. Can you confirm @Peanits ?

I mostly play Killer, I actually love Huntress...I don't play her as much as I would like...but I play enough and watch enough of better Huntress players...Iridescent Hatchets are unfun and I don't use them...least not with tye Infantry Belt. The fact that the downside for using them is overwritten by Infantry Belt and the Yellow belt, to give additional Hatchets is where the biggest problem is. The downside of having 1 Hatchet only SHOULD override the add-ons giving extra Hatchets. That was, imo the big draw for Ultra Rare Add-ons...give something strong or super unique to Killers...but for a price, some downside.

I just check out when a Huntress starts tossing these and people go down...almost always followed with camping and tunneling and sure "But it's a LeGiT sTrAtEgY" A Killer should never get Insta Downs right off the bat of a game with THAT many opportunities. Ran the recent one I had around the map for a good while till eventually she got me.... 1 Gen was done and she had Camped a previous Survivor and already downing the next two "yay"

    Easy fix, cap the amount of Iri Hatchets at 2. Very rewarding for good players, but still punishing for bad players.

    Whenever someone says 'I'm a <Killer/Survivor> main but' and asks to nerf something, I always feel like they are not being truthful.

    It's like saying 'I'm not racist but...'; Whatever you say afterwards is giving lie to your words.

    Lol, defending Iridescent Hatchets + Infantry Belt is.....quite a Hill to die on.....


    I play casually so I expect many naysayers to feel empowered to "lul" but I'll humor you lot ~_^


    @Entity_Burger I feel so sorry you live your life judging people over a videogame 💔 :[

    Sadly rank ingame has nothing to do whether you're a "main" or more leaning towards a side.

    Fact is that most obviously survivor biased killernerf ideas start with claims of being a killer main. Yours is among the more reasonable complaints.

    And what if i told you that its intended design to use an addon to downplay the downsides of another. *remembers old trapper addons*

    Sounds like another opinion.

    I guess we'll see what happens, but I doubt she'll be changed anytime in the next year.

    If that's what BHVR ends up stating and leaving things as is, thrn it is what it is. I just personally don't like the idea of a Match/Game ending that fast because of one add-on.


    As far as Rank shown in my pics, jus showing that I play more Killer and Rank up more than I do Survivor. I only played Survivor mostly when I could play with my GF and goof off, until the Archives & Challenges were added. I much prefer Killer's gameplay, even if I think some things Survivors have/can do are unfun to go against. Call for a rework/nerf should not hilariously incite a mob riot from people wanting to downplay some criticism, but again...THAT in itself..is what it is.

    Iri heads only need to be incompatible with infantry belt, and then they'll be fine.
