Are Hags addons gonna get reworked?

I know she got a buff already but I am curious if her addons will ever be reworked? Would be cool to have flashlights no longer work on her traps haha.

    Why would they? What's wrong with her?

    People use flashlights on her traps? I feel that's too unreliable and a waste of batteries.

    Hag has some of the best add-ons in the game in terms of inventiveness and adding interesting quirks to her power. These are the only ones that could use a change imo:

    Waterlogged Shoe - Traps would have to make survivors move like molasses for dropping teleport to be anywhere near worthwhile. This is probably the worst Ultra Rare in the game as it stands.

    Granma's Heart - Just make it grant Undetectable for like 10s upon trap trigger.

    Disfigured Ear - Kind of a meme add on like Scarred Hand, I'd just give it Blindness for 60s on trap trigger or something random to be extra annoying.

    Hag is already pretty strong, and in a way that most people find terribly unfun to play against. You want her to have add-ons to give survivors even less counterplay?

    If anything, buff her non-teleport add-ons. That way base Hag stays just as strong, but you add a more viable alternative playstyles that some people might enjoy more to play as and against, sort of like how the existence of Pallet Freddy adds variety without nerfing him overall.

    The Hag's worse addons will probably stay as they are for the foreseeable future.

    Legion rework will probably come first then Pig buffs, then Monstrous Shrine change, then possibly Hag ultra rare addon rework.

    lul.

    Don't see any reason to rework any of her addons

    I wasn't saying you were suggesting a nerf, quite the opposite. Suggesting that Hag get an add-on that protects her traps from flashlights would be a huge buff, one that I don't think she really needs.

    The thing that's wrong with Hag is people playing her wrong and saying that she's a defensive killer.

    I'm sorry, but placing 3 traps at my feet is NOT playing defensive. That's camping.


    That being said, I have versed a Hag who strictly used their traps for map control and it was painful. Still better than every single proxy-camper.

    Her add ons are mostly solid, except waterlogged shoe and her purple add ons excluding rusty shackles.

    I'd say the Pig's add-ons are way worse than the Hag's. My poor Piggy needs lots of luvin....

    Agreed. So many skill check based add-ons that actually penalise you if players actually know what to do.

    After playing her for a decent amount of time, she seems completely balanced, imo.

    I actually like Hag's Waterlogged Shoe. My favorite Hag build is Waterlogged Shoe and Willow Wreath, so the traps actually act like beacons for you to help protect your area. I wouldn't call it the most effective, but I find it fun. : P

    I'm kind of scared of what they are going to do to Legion if they do decide to rework them for the 4th time... Id hope they would only add an ambush trap with the other legion members, but that would take a lot more work (than I think we both know they'd want to do). They'd probably just nerf them again... Which is a shame since Legion's at a decent spot now.

    The Pig buffs are never happening. : P

    I mostly agree, but then I look at the purple/red addons. The brown/yellow/green addons are well-balanced, and I usually run insect + egg. The purple/red addons... aside from memeing, you won't see them used by an experienced player (except maybe shackles for some builds).

    Scarred Hand/Waterlogged Shoe - increase the Hag's movement speed to 115% with these addons. If she can't teleport or range-attack, she shouldn't be slow.

    Grandma's Heart - Instead of reducing the terror radius to 0 when triggered, give her the Undetectable status. This would remove the red stain, might help with mindgames. Still very niche though.

    Disfigured Ear - Maybe add the visual distortion from the Afterpiece Tonic. Something to make it more disorienting, at least. As it is right now, I run through a trap and just wonder why she's using that addon.

    Mint Rag - The power level is fine, but it's way too easy to mis-teleport. I have no idea how to fix that, but it's a problem even experienced Hag streamers have.

    I like the change to Waterlogged Shoe. To all of them, really.

    Mint rag could have an arrow above which trap to teleport to, like how Freddy has that with his teleport.

    Her add ons aren't bad. There are better uses of dev time.
