An idea to balance out the current problem with killer add-ons
An interesting topic has been killer addons. Stuff like instasaw, spirit's power duration addons and much more.
So the suggestion I have is simple: Instead of making add-ons simply increase the crucial numbers such as charge time, cooldown etc. Which make addons feel like a neccesity, have them change up how your killer power works and interacts with everything. The best example of this done right would be purple add-ons for hag and myers, and fake pallets for freddy. The worst example of this would be chainsaw addons for both boys. Most addons they have just straight up make their tools stronger like faster charge time, cooldown, bump recovery and so on. Stat increases with no downside in my eyes will never be a good type of addon, because they do 2 really bad things: Give killers a sense of neccessity to run them in order to not underperform and make survivor's life harder in situations where something like faster chainsaw charge time can cost them their life and there is simply no way you can tell if the killer has it or not until it is too late.
