Which killer has the best add-on pool?
This was originally @Boss's discussion in GD, I just made it into a poll.
Which killer has the exemplary add-on pool? Who should we look at in terms of balance?

Huntress.
Huntress has just two iffy add-ons; Pungent Phial and Amanita Toxin. Amanita Toxin just sucks, but Pungent Phial can still be a bit useful if you're on a map with bad locker spawns (The Game, Yamaoka Maps, Blackwater Swamp) and have down time to reload.
She also has a TON of good add-ons. Iridescent Head, Infantry Belt, Flower Babushka, Yew Seed Concoction, Venomous Concoction, Deerskin Gloves, Manna Grass Braid, Oak Haft, Shiny Pin, Bandaged Haft, and Berus Toxin.
And the rest of her add-ons are decent; not super strong, but still useful.
Myers is a close second. However, Lock of Hair is more of a hindrance than a help, and the entire Stalking movement speed set (Tacky Earrings, Jewellry, Jewellry Box) is all pretty bad. He makes up for this with the Tombstones, the Mirrors, and the Shard set all being so interesting design-wise, even if Vanity Mirror, Judith's Tombstone, and the Shard set can be a bit iffy.

Damn I forgot about Huntress. Most of her add ons I can work with.

Yeah, she doesn't have the strongest add-ons out there, but only one is flat out bad; everything else is usable and helpful depending on the circumstances. Something that is all the better because of how strong her basekit is.
She doesn't need Ether Vol 15%, Stab Wounds Study (Edit: I'm a tired idiot who meant to say Stolen Sketchbook), Windstorm/All-Seeing, Chewed Pen, or Trapper Bag to be really good. Which lets even some of her meh add-ons really shine.

Myers
Litteraly an addon that kills an survivor, not talking about Judith's Tombstone, Tombstone Piece with J.Myers Memorial or Nemesis + Judith's Journal can kill a survivor in like 1 min

Myers
Legion needs Stab wound study? That is litteraly the most wortless addon

I like the addons that will change how you play the Killer.
Myers does have ton of them, also I think Hag has some really good addons.

Myers
I was about to pick Wraith as he has also a bunch of cool combos to play like the very rare speed kicker combined with the brown uncloaking on kicking, which can bring you into chase super fast after getting rid of the pallet, that can be really brutal. Also the aura reading or ultra speed while cloaked, both ultra rares are fine...
But decided to chose Myers as he has also a lot of useful addons and including my most fun to play addon build with scratched Mirrors.

Spirit.
Nearly all of her Add Ons are solid to begin with, except the passive Phasing Add Ons, those are a little bit gimmicky and not that useful.
Now the Amulet and Prayer Beads are not that useful as they were before, but their Nerfs were justified. But when looking at the green Add Ons, they are REALLY good for just being green (like Speed and Duration).

Hag.
are her best addons are really good and affordable(since most of good addons are brown,yellow and green)
The purple an red ones are questionable

Billy/Bubba
Billy's strongest add-on, Carborator Tuning Guide, is green and there's a yellow version that does almost as much. With either one of these add-ons and either a speed or a Cooldown add-on, you almost get a guaranteed 4K against survivors who aren't really really good.

Can't say for fear of the nerf bat.

Freddy, he can completely change his power from a brown addon.

Myers
I love add-ons like Myers' and Nurse's that change how you play The Killer, and I think that more add-ons should be this way. Myers has exceptional add-ons.
Meanwhile... Oni's... ew.

Wraith
Lol, anyone knowing me won't see this as a surprise.
But idk, i don't mind that his Add-ons boost his potential by so much.
If you do well, you can buy the same amount of Add-ons back anyway, and more.

Frank's Mixtape is just as worthless, but you're right. I'm a moron, I meant Stolen Sketchbook, which increases Feral Frenzy Duration.

To me it's a tie between Huntress and Clown. They actually have some similar ones, like inflicting exhaustion, enabling 1-hit KO, revealing auras or slowing down the survivors. It's not just numbers changing and I like that.
Hag, Wraith and Trapper also have some interesting ones.
And it'd be nice to see some changes regarding the chainsaw bros and their add-ons.

Huntress. I would’ve chose Micheal but you can run out if you’ve stalked everyone too much. You can’t run out of hatchets, and they’re useful with practice.

Easy. Huntress. She only has two bad add-ons which are the Pungent Vile for seeing locker auras and the Amanita Toxin for Blindness. But everything else is great, especially the Bar is toxin because it straight up prevents Dead-Hard.
