Theoretical question: Would the game be more balanced without items, offerings, add-ons and perks?
Just as the title says, if killers and survivors only had their base abilities do you think the game would be more balanced than it is now?

I mean ace is pretty quiet which is basically Iron Will so then you'll just see Claudettes and Aces. You can still play other survivors but you'd get an edge against the killer playing one of those two

Don't know about balance but it would shrink the meta. By that I mean more people will be doing the same thing, more than currently. Some examples off the top of my head.
- There would be no downside to tunneling so that would be more popular
- The killers that can only do something at high ranks with addons like Wraith would be non existent.
- Gen rushing would become insane with no slowdown or tracking perks
That being said, no Spine Chill so Mikey and GF will be having a field day.

Sure, it would be more balanced. But it would also be more boring.

No some killer will never see play can you imagine trapper whitout the bag addon how useless he will be its the same for wraith on the other end killer like freddy, nurse and spirit dont need addon to be strong so you will see them more often and you dont want that

I agree. Many killers are dependent on add ons and perks. I remember long ago there was a dbd tournament where they forbid the use of perks, add ons, items and offerings. Big shock, every survivor was claudette and most killers were nurse. This was before her "rework". I think if these things were removed we would see even less diversity among killers.

Maybe. But it would be unbelivably boring.
