Iridecent Heads - Problematic add-ons
With recent nerfs and buffs, I’m wondering if iri heads could finaly see a huge well deserved nerf soon, or they are buisy “fixing” the other aspects of the game.
Not interested in arguements about this add-on. It’s clearly broken when you get people DC-ing more often than not if it’s being used. And you can’t blame them either. It’s the killers fault for bringing in something obliviously ridiculous.

I doubt the devs will touch huntress anytime soon. If they hit her add ons on the way to Billy's I wouldn't mind it. Make iri head less cheesable and give her another iri add on.

Wait, its the killers fault that SURVIVORS choose to DC for bringing in an add-on that the DEVS put into the game?
Even if I agree with you, your logic is so nonsensical that I cant help but be argumentative. It doesn't get more comical than this.

You are not interested in a discussion about iri heads and just say they are "broken" what they are not. People DC-ing is your argument for a nerf... alright.
I hope they never change iri heads. If players would at least try to learn playing against this instead of just DC-ing it would make playing survivors more skilled and less "nerf everything I dont like or I DC".

I would argue they aren't broken. Being unopen to discussion makes your call to nerf seem much weaker, would you care to engage me in a civil chat over why they are OP and need to be nerfed?
0 -
They are broken. The devs obviously overlooked the fact it can be combined with extra hatchet add ons to increase its power by 100-200%. Just remove this exploit and people will be fine with it.
2 -
Id much rather you needed to be at least 12m away from the killer, that range isnt huge but will stop alot of the one-hit downs at simple loops/pallets
0 -
Your logic is flawed because you put the devs will above common sense. But anyway I’m not gonna debate this now.
0 -
It was debated many many times in many places. This post is just a reminder to the devs so they won’t forget about it. I’ve already made a post about this in the past, and as you can guess it was filled with nonsense arguements to protect it.
Considering recent balance changes the devs have no reason not to nerf this add-on since they are open to nerf less impactfull stuff too that noone asked for.
0 -
They are not broken. They work as intented. The devs are well aware that you can combine them with belts. what are you talking about? Its not a power increase with more hatchets, they still one shot. You just have more hatchets dude. How the hell people think its an exploit. omfg...
1 -
Increasing the power of a killer's power by 100-200% shouldn't be possible. I guess since moris and keys exist devs are allowed to do whatever they want.
0 -
You should edit your thread then. Its not like a reminder imo.
What are the changes? What changes were made to justify a iri heads nerf now?
0 -
where are the percentages coming from?
Idk how you come to the conclusion iri heads make her 200 or 300% more powerful
0 -
2 is 100% more than 1 and 3 is 200% more than 1. Math.
1 -
Bad math dude. If you say a huntress' power doubles by one more hatchets idk what I can tell you.
0 -
No need to justify a nerf goal here. It is clear that the add-on is owerpovered. It was being ignored because it isn’t used that often so less people complained.
Also this “You just have more hatchets dude. How the hell people think its an exploit. omfg...” you can’t be serious there lol. And again, referring to the devs knowing about it is a weak point.
0 -
No need to justify a goal here? Man you said yourself "Considering recent balance changes..." get called out about it and now you dont say anything just nerf it.
So you are saying the devs dont know about this. and thats not a weak point? but if I say they do it is a weak point? wth?
Clearly they know because iri heads once got nerfed. and you could always combine them with belts. Just laughable. Sry Im out. this here is just a meme thread for me. Cant take you serious. cya

Better for both if us. Whatever you were smoking I could use one too.
0 -
You better smoke a lot of it to come clear mate

People also Dc when you find them quickly and down them as the Clown.
Guess the problem is the Clown then, not the entitled priks that plague this game am I right.

You can’t play against Iridescent Head when the Huntress is revving your back and hitting one shot hatchets at melee range. I only see bad Huntresses use it. Players who are good at Huntress don’t need it.
You claim that playing against Iridescent Head would make survivors more skillful but it requires zero skill from the Huntress. It’s just a super cheap one shot.
Iridescent Head either needs to only apply instadown from further than a certain distance (24 meters) to promote long range shots from Huntress which is actually the fun skillful part of playing Huntress, not back revving and instadowning at melee range. Or it needs to not stack with other add-ons so Huntress only has one hatchet.
2 -
I do it...all the time. o.O
As for requiring zero skill...that's a bunch of balderdash. When you're running iri head, you have way less hatchets (max of 3, WITH another addon), and you have to make every shot count. If you miss, you have nothing.
I can already tell you haven't played Huntress against semi competent survivors.

With recent nerfs and buffs, I’m wondering if brand-new parts with comodious toolboxes could finaly see a huge well deserved nerf soon, or they are buisy “fixing” the other aspects of the game.
Not interested in arguements about this add-on. It’s clearly broken when you get people DC-ing more often than not if it’s being used. And you can’t blame them either. It’s the survivors fault for bringing in something obliviously ridiculous.

This add-on should only grant 1-shot from long shot range (e.g. 24 or 32+m)
Killer would keep the 5 hatchets with the purple belt (-2 hatchets instead of -4 for iri add-on)
BBQ and all aura reading perk (e.g. bitter) would be used for fun shots :)
0 -
So a hillbilly, tier 3 myers, bubba need to be nerfed too because they are lethal in melee range without addons?
0 -
Just learn to face a skilled Huntress that can one shot 4head
0 -
Imagine thinking BNP is broken in 2020 😂
Thank you, you made my day

A.) Myers has to work for his Tier 3 and it doesn’t last the entire match without the use of an add-on and it takes forever to get to Tier 3 with the Tuft of Hair.
B.) Bubba is terrible and in no way compares to Iridescent Head.
C.) Billy can’t do much about pallet looping. You actually have to know how to curve around pallets, ya know...things that require mindgames and skill. A good Billy earns their downs.
A good Huntress will not miss her shot in a melee range. It doesn’t even feel good to use as Huntress. All you do is destroy the team. 80% of the Huntresses that use Iridescent Head pair it with a mori and kill the team in 4 minutes. I don’t see how you think it is a balanced add-on. It’s overkill.
If Iridescent Head applied instadowns farther than a certain distance (she would be able to keep all five hatchets) or trumped all other add-ons than sure it would be balanced.
0 -
IT's already been gutted lmao, You get 3 chances per reload to hit someone with the purple belt, on quite a few maps, you may as well be an M1 killer getting looped at an infinite.
1 -
Dude your explanation was "You can’t play against Iridescent Head when the Huntress is revving your back and hitting one shot hatchets at melee range" and I ask you, why you say thats too much, but other killers in melee are lethal too? How does that make sense?
"A good Huntress will not miss her shot in a melee range." So you do need skill and practise with it. Its odd, first you say skilled huntress players dont use it, then you say you need to be a good huntress player to use it. Could you please try to stick to one point. It gets really confusing what you mean.
"80% of the Huntresses that use Iridescent Head pair it with a mori and kill the team in 4 minutes." thats just fake news.
"I don’t see how you think it is a balanced add-on. It’s overkill." . Imo iri heads are really strong and deserve to be an ultra rare. Its balanced in terms of effect, rareness, player skill involved and also has a downside.
I dont understand why you want to nerf an addon thats rarely used and if used, not by good huntress players like you said.

You saying that to me?

Conclusion:
Iri´s bad, pls nerf.
Yeah, great discussion.
1 -
Oh cool, another bait post enabled by the most recent PTB notes, good job devs
1 -
The devs already nerfed the addon by increasing the number of hatchets your missing from 2 to 4. You cant call it an oversight anymore when its already been looked at. Also, using addons isnt an "exploit".
1 -
I didn't mean an exploit of game mechanics in an unhealthy way, but thanks for the lecture.

Excuse me?
0 -
No. I was being sarcastic about the point you made
0 -
Typically when I hear about the back revving 1 shot Huntress arguement, I end up wondering how people survive against Bubba. If thats all your doing is getting melee range before ever tossing a hatchet, surely Bubba is a more lethal version since he at least moves at 115%.
0 -
You were stating that BNP (Brand New Part) was broken.
An Ultra Rare add on that only increases the gen up to 25% AFTER hitting BOTH "difficult" skill checks is broken in your opinion
0 -
Yes, iri heads is too strong and it should have a slight nerf, maybe a range requirement for one-shots, although i don't believe the hate is justified, since the counterplay is still available (juking the hatchets and forcing m1 on short loops).
0 -
I swear I lose my mind here. Totally agree and usually you even have a movement buff from pwyf on bubba. Idk what some players are thinking. I mean if you get meleed by huntress its your own fault. I mean she got a pretty big lullaby radius.
0 -
Oh lol. Maybe we need a sarcastic emote in this forum^^

Iridescent heads isn't something used in every game you see it once in a while at max they get 3 it's not that bad sometimes the deck is stacked against you nbd
0 -
I agree
0 -
I really hate playing against Huntress, the only killer I can't stand, and also she can one shot survivors? Yes, I will DC (and I never DC tbh)
0 -
That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard that you blame the killer for a survivor Disconnecting because of an add on... the hatchet is one of the easier range attacks to dodge and especially when people are really good at survivor. I do think that it should hard cap the 1 hatchet limit so you can't use extra hatchet add ons in combination but it's pink for a reason. lol
0 -
And what was the point of this comment? Sure I agree because you know what? In not a survivor main but unlike the selfish peasants who only play half of the game and protect their broken stuff, I acknowledge what might needs to be fixed.
EDIT: It’s more like the toolboxes that needs to be nerfed imo, but that deserves it’s own thread anyway.
