The Twins Lack of Attention Isn't A Secret
Twins have barely got attention since their release. Trickster was released after her and already got a tome, as well as multiple cosmetics.
It has been a year since their release, and they have only got a single change to them in that entire year, that one change being a nerf to them. Other than that DIRECT change, they have constantly received nerfs to their kit through the meta evolving or things being patched affecting them.
It isn't a secret that Binding of Kin released rough. It was buggy, it was extremely glitchy, and it was extremely unfinished. They had to make an entirely new animation just to account for lockers being a direct counter. There isn't a surprise the chapter was hated, but it was pretty groundbreaking too.
I'm actually more surprised at the fact they tried such a unique idea for a power. It is something that was talked about for a long time, and they finally did it. I'm sure it was much harder to do than most other powers too, probably leading to the extremely broken status of the game. I'm for one really happy they took the risk to make her so unique but then look at all the powers after her.
I think it is safe to assume that the Binding of Kin was one of, if not the most, hated chapters of DBD. It releasing in the state it did lead to a bad downfall of the Twins. People either wouldn't buy the chapter, or people that did felt ripped off. Was she fixed? Yeah, and she felt in a good place to me. Then they FINALLY put her in a balance change, that nerfed her more for playing correctly.
Why would anyone want to buy her right now? She feels so clunky and punishing to play for playing her right, and the devs are showing they are just gonna blatantly ignore, not even addressing her birthday. I'm praying they are trying to do something to fix her.
Like @PixelBush has said, all she needs is no fatigues for trying not to slug. It isn't a hard change really. Tbf though, trapper didnt get his trap inventory changed from a 1 to a 2 for 5 years and he is a fan favorite. Really hope she gets something. So what if there aren't a lot of twins mains? The lack of people playing her is because of the devs ignoring her.

Yep.
I was late to the party, and I missed the buggy mess of a release, but after getting Twins with shards for my second unlocked killer, they've been a favorite of mine.
really hoping they get their much needed QoL and cosmetics.

I always forget they even exist.

and it is so sad. If someone says they've never went against a legion or myers, you find it hard to believe. If someone says they didn't know twins was a killer, it is pretty believable and that sucks

Yeah it is sad. I may hate going against them and playing as them but at this point I hope they get love because it sucks to see any killer go through what the Twins are going through.

Agreed, people hated spirits a lot but it would be devastating if they were gutted to nothing and then never gave anything again

Is Twins the new Legion?
I remember back in the day Legion posts filled the forums

Even the legion still had cosmetics and content galore, even if balance-wise they were basically never talked about.

Twins is a failed concept and since they cant get rid of them because people paid money they went with the second option, let the dust settle over them in a way almost noone plays them.
Im all for that, pity they cant delete them from the game.

They aren't even a failed concept tho, how are they a failed concept? If they just let you switch during fatigues to remove all the waiting, it would not only encourage hooking instead of slugging, but make them feel way better as well.
Genuinely curious why you think they should be deleted because they are pretty unique and not completely oppressive compared to other killers

I loved twins before the Victor nerf, I never slugged and would always go pick up whoever I downed asap. The killer does feel like they've been removed from the game because I haven't seen one as a survivor in months. I'd take twins over trickster games any day.

Remember the accidental addon description changes? They probably have a rework in mind for Twins but need to get it working better.
The overhaul they went through to get them to, what I consider, an acceptable state was tremendous. This isn’t really mentioned with her buff/nerfs. Mix that with them being a top tier snowballing killer and I feel like we are left with complaints about not getting enough cosmetics.

You got my Vote up!
I agree, it’s isn’t that hard to change them, just decrease the stuns time, maybe make tiny fingernail basekit and Charlotte should be able to throw Victor and recall him if he is placed on one side of the map.
Other changes they can receive are making Charlotte a bit faster when not carrying Victor and Iridescent Pendant basekit. She should be mad as hell if they killed her brother and at the Devs for forgetting about her.
I love them as well, I get excited when going against them. It been a while since I have seen them.

They were a really good killer whose gameplay frustrated survivors (which SHOULD be normal because no one should ever be like "thank god i'm up against this killer haha") so they had to get the axe. It's a damn pity and right now the only twins mains left including myself basically play them out of spite I think lol.
Maybe they'll give them some love now that killer numbers are shrinking but I doubt it. At least forced penance gives them some of their old power back but it feels bad having to use a slot on that because everyone's running CoH.

Their only viable way of playing them is by mass slugging which is not very fun to play as nor against, especially when BHVR has been trying to not encourage certain things considered unpleasant.
They made something that can only be played in a way they dont want to encourage, they tought they would be making a Killer able to pressure 2 places at once and they managed to make a mass slugger, thats why they are a failed concept and I assume the reason they have been collecting dust since they were released.

I had a concept to make Twins more like Dream Witch from Identity V, and switching during fatigues would be a part of it.
Would you give it a read if I posted it?

Twins are a brilliant killer, just left to gather dust instead of being polished.
Boring cosmetics, no power or add-on adjustments, no new patches of any kind lol actually so annoying to think about.

I mean, I play them because they're almost always fun.
