Why do Iridescent Hatchets still function the way they do?
Not a QQ (okay, kinda a QQ)... but this ultra rare add-on seems to have been more or less untouched for years. It is far and away the most complained about add-on, It does not fit the scope of most iridescent add-ons, which tend to alter playing styles rather than serve as a ludicrous buff to a killers power.
This add-on is every bit as powerful as a Mori, probably even moreso, and actually stacks with Mori to basically create an unwinnable game for survivors on the loading screen.
Have the Devs ever said why they're happy with Iridescent Hatchets or, barring that, why they are reluctant to change it? It couldn't be out of fear of making an iridescent add-on bad... as some killers have iridescent addons that are literal downgrades on their power.

because the game gets changed with a rhythm of big chunks at once: i. e. "we're gonna look at billy and LF" everything related to these killers gets looked. So, until huntress gets the same treatment, iri hatchets will still be in the game.

McLean has said iri heads will get reworked at some point. That was over a year ago, maybe even two. Like it was said above, when Huntress gets her add on rework they will very likely adjust them. Until then they are not a pressing enough matter to deal with, unfortunately.

Huntress shoulda be top of the list, hillbilly shoulda been top third. But also get some of the weaker killers better before changing a middle killer
Trapper would be an easy one to tackle. wraith and pig also

I Disagree.
Huntress is okay where she is other then her iri add on that very few people play with anyways. Also iri head would actually be okay if it couldn't be used with the belt add ons.
Pig would be difficult (based on recent livestream) due to her being a licensed killer.

If its just her iri add on then it should be much quicker

Except its not. Im am sure they said they are going to rework all her add ons.

The only thing they specifically said was they’re giving her a second red add on to bring her addon distribution in line with the standard. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take a look at the addon combo iri head plus the purple that adds two hatchets, though, since it’s that specific combo that’s probably overpowered.
If the iri head is by itself and you can only carry one hatchet it’s still a good add-on but having to reload after literally every throw makes it less effective overall, that’s a lot of extra time spent going back and forth to lockers. Personally I think if they tweaked iri head to say “you can only carry one hatchet regardless of other add-ons” then it could be a decent change.

Same question can be asked about keys, moris, OoO, the entirety of Haddonfield and so much other stuff. The answer: Who knows lol
