Would you rather go against killer add ons that do unique and interesting things or would you rather all of their add ons just be “X Faster” add ons? Blight had literally every unique add on changed and while some were super strong and deserved it they all have been replaced by very boring X Faster add ons. I’m honestly not a big fan of X Faster add ons and would rather then do things they slightly changes the gameplay in a more unique way.

There should be a middle ground in-between Alc Ring C33 Blight and Freddy. I believe the Killer with the best set of addons is Wraith. Strong addons, fun addons, meme addons, unique addons. He's got them all, and he's balanced.

Ideally, everything that makes a killer feel "required" should become baskit, many of these "this thing is faster" or "this is slightly better" addons are just required to play the killer, otherwise it feels miserable. Trapper feels bad without a bag addon Wraith feels bad without windstorm and swift hunt Billy feels bad without cooldown reduction Nurse feels bad without attack range addon Myers feels bad without stalk speed increase Hag feels bad without range increase Doctor feels bad without range increase Huntress feels bad without windup speed increase Bubba feels bad without chili Freddy just feels bad and all his addons are horrible Pig feels bad without charge speed increases Clown feels bad without reload speed Spirit feels bad without movement speed increases Legion feels bad without frenzy duration/movement speed Plague feels bad without extra fountains Ghostface feels bad without cooldown reduction Demo feels bad without movement speed increases Oni feels bad without charge speed increases Deathslinger feels bad without reload speed increases Pyramid head feels bad without range speed increases (although all the other addons are terrible) Blight feels bad without speed increases Twins feels bad without toy sword Trickster feels bad without movement speed increases Nemesis addons are all bad and should feel bad Cenobite feels bad without that one purple addon to spawn extra change Artist feels bad without repel time reduction and cooldown reduction Sadako feels bad without the movement speed boost on teleport Dredge feels bad without the one that lets him break out of locked lockers faster Wesker feels bad without the egg Knight feels bad without the map of the realm Skull merchant feels bad without undetectable duration and cooldown reduction Singularity feels bad without duration increase Xenomorph feels bad without flamethrower reduction addoons Chucky feels bad without cooldown addons Unknown feels bad without the teleport recovery speed Vecna feels bad without fly addons (so far in my experience) I really think they need to do a massive overhaul of addons. Anything that feels "required" should just become basekit completely and the addon system should be reworked. Addons should never just "increase x thing" or "decrease x thing" they should be cool unique gameplay changes. Basically you should have: 4 brown addons 4 yellow addons 3 green addons 2 purple addons 2 iri addons I honestly think wraith is the best designed killer in terms of addons, despite him feeling bad in a few cases Brown addons should always just increase bloodpoints and NOT weaken the power. Yellow addons should always have 1 that gives double bloodpoints and weakens the power (hard mode addon/farming) and the others should do minor ADDITIONS to the power Green addons should be major ADDITIONS to the power Purple Addons should do minor CHANGES to the power Iri addons should do MAJOR changes to the power. So for example, if i were to redesign wraith's addons that were bad i would have all of his addons be like this: Basekit changes: Purple windstorm now made base kit Purple Swift hunt now made base kit Brown: Gain 100% bonus bloodpoints in the brutality category, and hitting a survivor out of cloak gives an additonal 100% bloodpoints in brutality Gain 100% bonus bloodpoints in the deviousness category, and uncloking near a survivor grants bonus bloodpoints in the deviousness category (new score event) Gains 100% bonus bloodpoints in the hunter category, and being near a survivor while cloaked grants bonus bloodpoints in the hunter category Gains 100% bonus bloodpoints in the sacrifice category, and gain bonus bloodpoints when a survivor is sacrifice while you are in a chase (promote not camping) Yellow Grants 100% bonus bloodpoints in all categories, but reduces the movement speed bonus you get after uncloaking Hitting a survivor with a surprise attack grants blindness for 60 seconds Breaking a pallet, wall, or generator with automatically uncloak you Your undetectable lasts for another 6 seconds after uncloaking Green Hitting a survivor with a surprise attack grants mangled and Hemorrhage for 70 seconds Reveals the aura of survivors within 8 meters of your location while cloaked Survivors are unable to tell the direction or distance of the wailing bell (becomes a background noise) Purple Action speeds while cloaked are 75% faster, but action speeds while uncloaked are 35% slower. The wailing bell becomes completely silent and the wraith no longer makes noises while cloaked, but uncloaking takes 50% longer Iridescent Movement speed is decreased to 3.85 m/s, the wraith can hit survivors out of cloak. Performing an action or an attack will uncloak the wraith. Cloaking now takes 100% longer. Starts the trial uncloaked (this tells survivors this addon is in play) While cloaked, see the aura of all generators and their progress, and generators that are being repaired will be highlighted in blue, but while uncloaked you suffer from the blindness status effect. So like, the gist is, brown addons are for bloodpoint farming. There's a yellow for more intense bloodpoint farming that makes it harder. The rest of the yellows give minor additions to the power. The greens give more major additions to the power. The purple changes the power in some smaller ways by strengthening in some ways or weakening in others, and the purple changes your power completely, almost as if you were a different killer. These probably are not balanced at all, but i'm just showing like the kinds of things they should do.
