Name add-ons that shouldn't be add-ons

and should instead just be a core-part of the killer. I'll start.

Trapper: Stitched Bag (carry more traps... because the trapper should be able to trap)
Huntress: Iridescent Head (kidding, kidding!)
Doctor: Order: Class 1 (putting survivors in T3 should help out in a chase as opposed to just being used to tunnel survivors after they're unhooked, thus illusionary pallets)
Leatherface: ...He needs a lot of work, and no amount of add-ons can help him. Even Chili+Beast Marks.
Freddy: Paint Thinner (he's punished too hard for putting multiple survivors to sleep and his power doesn't help with chases)
Amanda: Rule Set No. 2 (this is a no-brainer)
Spirit: Father's Glasses (ditto)

Overall, I think BHVR has a nasty habit of balancing killers around add-ons instead of the other way around. Killers should be strong and fun without add-ons and add-ons should be the icing on the cake. If you need add-ons to make the killer "good" then the killer is not, in fact, good.

I mean, do survivors have to take items+add-ons every match to be competitive against competent killers? They don't, because their base kit+perks are good enough and Killers should be the same way.

    Spirit should be able to see blood in phase walk and should have standard improvements in all aspects of her phase walk ability.
    Trapper and leatherface desperately need a rework

    Doctor, illusionary pallets would be fine imo.

    Rule Set No. 2 OR the trap always starts ticking as soon as survivors get unhooked.
    Paint thinner would actually make Freddy a lot stronger (RIP sprint burst) and maybe Pill bottle?

    Purple flannel for nurse should be built in to be quite honest. It’s kind of ridiculous it’s such an expensive add on. I think this would help new nurses ease into her more than enduring trials of failure. Even experienced nurses could use it for those times maps load in with random spots she can’t pass through. 

    I didn’t think about it before but I guess making survivors see imaginary pallets would be a good built in feature. Maybe instead order class I can make it appear the entity blocks vault points.

    Spirit needs one thing and that is her phase walking sound to be taken off. I mean there is still the terror radius for crying out loud. ugh

    I feel like it would be too OP especially considering she has add-ons to move farther and faster in phase walk she can simply snipe people very easily, thats also not considering monitor and abuse on top of all that lmao.

    Wraith's Hound it's a waste of an add-on slot for something bloodhound does 100% better.

    I'm not saying add the built-in bloodhound back just saying you could have made it more useful. Hell even making it a predator and bloodhound combo would be better as it could have been an amazing tracking add-on.

    The Hag... wait you meant the add-ons you use... the Beast or the Serpant. I just can't find a use for them.

    Nurse: blink addons
    The two ones that you are used too should stay. Cause for every nurse they only need two addons so they don't have to learn a new way to play.

    It's not necessary for good nurses but that one add on that shows where she's gonna blink would be nice to have as part of her kit for newer killers

    The green reappearance addon for spirit should be base.. wakizaya I think it is (the purple one should be decreased to green and reduced to slightly... fathers glasses should be base and then make a new ultra rare addon the moderately increases the reappearance, slightly reduces the cooldown and charge time... something that is ultra rare value

    This would turn her into a super easy and efficient killer. She should stay as a rewarding killer when mastered.
