Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Partially incorporating addons into the base-kit doesn't lead to more variety

I wish the developers would learn this, because it's getting frustrating. Pretty much every time they incorporate an addon into the killer's base-kit, they only do so partially and then nerf the addon by how much they added to the base-kit.

They think this'll lead to more addon variety, but I don't believe that to be the case. The partial base-kit buff is usually not enough and these addons were also usually run, because there was nothing better to use anyways. That latter part doesn't change with a partial incorporation.

Since there is no incentive to use something else, and the base-kit buff wasn't enough, people usually continue using that very same addon, which is now worse and also makes less of a difference. We just had it with Dracula's shapeshift addons and soon with Unknown's teleport addons.

I wouldn't mind the nerfed addons, if the base-kit effect would be the same as old base-kit + the addon. As it seems, I and probably many other players will just continue using it instead of picking new ones.

    It has for me.

    I can't speak for everyone, but once part of a addon becomes basekit, I move onto other addons. Knight for example, I'm enjoying his Iri Knights Contract instead of increasing the patrol radius and I still get value.

    Add stuff fully base and just rework those add-ons.
