SBMM vs Instawin Addons
As DBD moved towards being a more balanced and competitive game, they have had to sacrifice many things. Permanent Sabotage, Instablind Flashlights, Perks that work on killer powers. Its time to accept that a lot of things like pinky finger, iri head, Judith's Tombstone, and Tombstone Piece are not just outdated but incredibly counter-intuitive to keep around in a game that is supposed to balance around "skill". Pinky Finger and Iri head are only ever used to press your face directly up against a hooked survivor while you wait for someone to be bored enough or altruistic enough to go for the save and instantly die for it. Tombstone is stalk a couple people and then find someone who hasnt seen you all game in a dead zone and remove them without ever hooking them. Its time for bhvr to swallow their pride and remove them.

PInky finger - situational and limited, iri head - extremely limited and requires skill, Judith's tombstone - require ridiculous build up and is not even permanent as is, slows you down too.
Since first two is definitely not even efficient for camping, your first point is moot, judith tombstone is unironically balanced because even with deadlock and corrupt it can very well take more time to level up than finishing generators, can even be countered by lockers too.
Tombstone piece is the only one that could be considered instawin (definitely not instant though), but then same locker counters can be applied to him.
SBMM isn't even the where game is going, this game is not meant to be played for "skill" because game doesn't even tell whether you are skilled or not, you are fundamentally misunderstanding the purpose of it.

Pinky finger and iri head are both mid addons that typically just make the killer worse (unless you are a sniping god on huntress). Tombstone is understandable though. Their addon design has become increasingly uncreative in recent years, with at least half the killers having some kind of instadown addon.

They are bad for general gameplay, but they are insane for camping scenario. Especially in basement, but it works insanely good on hills too. Pinky finger more so then iri head. The only counter is to accept one survivor will just die and genrush for 3 out. Considering 3 out is survivor win, there are thankfully not that many killers willing to play that (and that's the only reason why these addons are OK).
Tombstone piece on the other hand - is just pure unfair and the only saving grace is, that killer doing so will probably depip even though he will probably get 3-4K.

I don't want these iri addons removed for nothing obviously but they can be changed to be something more skill inclusive.
- Iri Head could be turned into: Refills hatchets on hooking a survivor.
- Pinky Finger: Drop invigorated bottles on kicking actions.
- Judith's Tombstone: Reset the stalk progress on all survivors after tiering from tier 3 to tier 2.
- Tombstone Piece: Reset the stalk progress on the survivor that you stalked to tier 3 from tier 2, when you tier down from tier 3 to tier 2.
This gives Myers more longevity in longer games, huntress gets more map pressure, and better chase for clown. I want better, more skill inclusive addons not camping addons. I don't see why people think that they need to defend terrible addons.

Pinky finger you just always run with gin bottle and it then makes the clown much better. The big issue is its a design limiter since they cannot do some base buffs for clown because this addon could make him op.
