Clown add on change to reflect recent balance updates

The clown has a specific add on called "Solvent jug", it makes it so that survivors that come into contact with the afterpeice tonic suffer from exhaustion for 30 seconds. When the clown was initially released this add on was fine. however once the recent exhaustion changes went live it hasn't been adjusted in any way which is bad considering how powerful it became overnight.

Before the changes to exhaustion went live this add on was good, it delayed the use of haste based survivor perks for a limited time. But due to the changes the use of the perks in a chase is basically eliminated since it's hard to not run in a chase for 30 seconds. Considering that this add on is only an uncommon rarity add on it's become far too strong In light of previous patches.

There's one of two solutions that I see, either reduce the amount of time that exhaustion is caused to realistically be achievable in a chase, say 10 seconds or so, or increase the rarity to something higher so it's not as easy to obtain since it's a lot stronger now.

    If you are so worried about your sprint burst use it at the start of the chase, if you are so worried about your dead hard use it to dodge the bottle.
    You are complaining about a killer that is basicly played by no one and about 1 of his very specific addon.
    Literaly no one is playing the clown

    That doesn't stop the fact that this add on is too strong given the recent changes and it's rarity. It's just feedback dude calm down. Besides, sprint burst is the only exhaustion perk this add on doesn't actively nullify. Dead hard can be used, but only once and if you happen to already be injured, lithe and balanced landing will get nullified if you step into the gas. Feedback is feedback doesn't matter how small it is dude.

    Why are you so against balance feedback regarding an uncommon addon that’s become too powerful? There is no difference between the uncommon and rare ( is it very rare?) addons due to the loss of all Exhaustion upon being hooked. All the Exhaustion-giving addons that have timers need to be reconsidered even if it is just to say that they are fine the way they are now. 

    I support you, @Voidraconis !
