Permanently Remove All Killer Addons to Improve All Killers

Straight to the point

Killer powers fluctuate with dependability and strength based on addons. Thus, mid to low tier killers with their best addons can seem more stronger than higher tier killers with no addons. In this since, killer strengths are being inflated more stronger than they really are.


The Overall Objective

It has been shown that higher tier killers can still do exceptionally well without addons. So, this begs the question, "Should all killers be less addon reliant?". The purpose of removing all addons for all killers is to highlight killer strengths and weaknesses to provide a better understanding to adjust the base kit power for each killer. The end goal is to even out killer strengths across the field so that killer selection has a better variety and not be so geared to only specific killers for dependability.


Notable Opposition Views Against This

We understand that not all killer addons are enhancements, but rather altercations for a killer's power. For example, Freddy players have the option of using snares or pallets. However, there is no way of distinguishing if using snares is better than pallets. And vise-versa. Many will also argue that killer addons are necessary for creating variety and uniqueness for matches which helps the game from becoming stale. To these opposition views I would say, "How do you like your soup?".


How do you like your soup?

A soup uses specific ingredients. Yet people tend to want more of a specific ingredient, or an entirely new ingredient. And so, you can keep adding more ingredients into a pot of soup until you believe it does not need anymore. When your done adding ingredients, what are you left with? A soup of disgust, a soup only a few like, a soup a lot of people like or a soup a majority of people like?

    I like add-ons, it creates more variety. Killers shouldn't be so reliant on them though, I agree. And keep in mind that add-ons are necessary against high-level teams, especially if you're not a Nurse or Spirit
