Regarding pyramid head’s basekit and addons
Pyramid head has been in this game since 2020 (almost 4 years ever since he came out) and his basekit had one of the most unique mechanics in the game being the cages of atonement which worked as “special hooks”
now to the important part regarding his cages is that they were added yet they never had any addons that worked for them which imo feels like a wasted potential to what some of his addons could’ve been at the time (and yes even without addons cages are still some of the strongest aspects of his basekit with how they deny hook related interactions such as endurance and hook related perks but it still won’t be harmful if any of his addons had a few interactions with the cages that felt awarding for using the cage mechanic and might incentivize caging more instead of hooking tormented survivors)
for example a mini monstrous shrine addon that awards him for caging survivors by having the sacrifice process 20% faster in cages (I saw this idea from someone else here) or maybe a mini gift of pain where survivors freed from cages suffer a penalty for a certain duration

I will agree with Pyramid Head does need an overhaul on his addons as they are generally bad across the board. I think Cage of Atonement addons are questionable in nature though. A monstrous shrine addon is pretty bad in general. On the one hand it is hard for Pyramid Head to capitalize on his effect since if he gets close to the caged survivor, they teleport away. On the other hand, it isn't very fair or fun for survivors either. I'd be fine with stuff like oblivious or mangled though.

It's wild to me pyramid head has one of the most bloated kits in the whole game and the devs could do anything more creative than range and then like 3 different classes of trail add-ons that all basically do the same thing.
How do you create a unique hook and status effect and not utilize them for the add ons?

He already has an M2 sloppy butcher addon from the mangled rework
The monstrous shrine is mostly an idea I saw here earlier and I thought was neat with its design but of course it could need some experimenting to see if it those kinds of addons are fine or not
I think it’s mostly fine in the hands of a beginner phead main but decently experienced ones will benefit the most from that addon
altho an oblivious addon does sound neat to use on cages if they have the right amount of duration on them
