Unknowns Add On Changes Feel Horrible
With Vanishing box it feels like you barely ever have a clone up now, the survivors get rid of them so much faster than you can place them and you barely have 1 up out of your possible 4.
I think a 20% longer clone spawn time is more reasonable than 80%.
Give the missing 20% of blurry photo either back into the add on or into his base kit. It feels way worse than what it was even with running blurry photo and overall is a nerf.
This killer was already perfect how he was, why did he get these unneeded nerfs? Everyone says he's balanced.

Vanishing Box was lowkey busted, but yeah 80% is too large a penalty I think. Maybe 40% would be ok but I think 20% would be too low.
I would love to see the entirety of old Blurry Photo made basekit as well, it's a must-run and needed to be integrated into its basekit entirely.

Older post but Its still something im upset about, they literally nudged a perfect killer for what reason? They just added clunk
Give us the full blurry photo effect and reduce the vanishing box clone penalty1 -
Like you said, killer who was in a perfect spot. Not super weak, but not overpowered. And yet, he got nerfs as if he was overpowered. This is the only game whose devs do this. If Unknown was so strong (I hate to be this guy, but), why isn't he played in tournaments and stuff all the time? Nobody can ever answer that, because they'd have to admit their BS. All you see in tourney/top MMR is Nurse and Blight. No killer comes close to them, except maybe Spirit, so why nerf a bunch of killers who aren't even close to the top killers?

Exactly, I truly don't understand BHVR's decisions sometimes. Honestly baffling that they even thought about touching The Unknown balance wise.

True. Old Blurry Photo gave Unknown an additional strategy and chase tool. The nerf feels so bad and undeserved. Nerfing Vanishing Box was fair but 80% is too much of a drawback. They can reduce it to 20% and make it a purple Addon which would be more fair.
I also feel like the developers are very harsh and unfair when it comes to Unknown's Addons like with these two big nerfs but also before: Captured By The Dark has a strong effect but also a huge drawback. Meanwhile, Wesker's and Singularity's Addon that have a similar effect, have a second strong effect and in case of Wesker, his infection is much more difficult to get rid off with many other advantages for him.

Yeah, all they have to do is revert blurry photo, or at least give us the old effect one way or another. And reduce the vanishing box penalty to anywhere between 20 - 30%

True. I really hope the developers will give him another tweak. I also feel like he needs a small Addon rework because many of his Addons feel so useless. All of his brown ones are either awkward or trash while other ones are not really reliable like the Exhaustion ones or the Blindness. I wish he had an aura reading Addon when damaging/weaken a survivor with UXV, a better Sloppy Addon when damaging a survivor with UVX, an Addon that let's him spawn five Hallucinations instead of four, or one that gives him Undetectable when doing something happens (e.g. survivor removes a Hallucination, three survivors are weakened). That would be funny and better.

I honestly couldn't care lessabout Blurry Photo but I'm still miffed over Vanishing Box; there are few good uvx addons. I'd rather have seen photo get gutted, a boring addon rather than Box which promotes using power

the 20% loss feels awful, regardless if the addon is uninspired. Both addons need adjustments.
