What happened to diverse add ons

I feel like recent killers have gotten addons that have just increase their power or some sort like that. What happened to add ons that would change the way how you would play the killer. Like hags, myers, doctor, pig. I feel like add ons now are for the most part "buff this part of their power by x amount" or "decrease disadvantage of using power by x amount". Would be very nice for future killer to get the same add on treatment older killers had since it makes them more interesting

    I don't really count effect add ons in this list. When I was talking about pig I was talking about how you can build her around her traps or her crouch. And how her Amandas letter is diverse and changes the way you play her. Or like body blocker hag. While I think the current add ons aren't the worst thing. I feel it would be more interesting to have the option to interact with killers powers in different ways

    The issues are twofold. First, those add-ons are extremely difficult to come up with and balance. Second, they could potentially rob themselves of killers.

    Seriously, how much do you think they're kicking themselves over Scratched Mirror Myers? That could have been an entirely unique killer right there. Now imagine if every single killer had add-ons that completely changed their gameplay? How many would take the place of killers already in the works?
