The Unknown deserves a few more buffs
I love really like the Unknown, its power is really simple yet you can do a lot of things with it! I just think he needs a few small buffs here and there to truly make him feel great to play!
- Reduce the post-teleport cooldown from 1.4 seconds to 1 second.
BHVR recently buffed The Unknown's base teleport speed from 1.7 seconds to 1.4 seconds. To compensate, they nerfed the add-on from 50% to 15%, which actually hurts The Unknown overall.
Before the change, the add-on reduced the teleport speed to 0.85 seconds, but now it's just 1.19 seconds. All I want is a true buff. If the base teleport speed was just 1 second, this would allow The Unknown to reach his old 0.85 seconds speed, but now you wouldn't need the add-on to have a quite fast recovery!
- Slightly reduce the UVX cooldown from 7 seconds to 6 seconds.
Currently it takes a Survivor 10 seconds to get rid of Weakened, of course it's most likely longer than that due to LoS blockers, but if there aren't any, you really start to feel the 7 second cooldown, if you miss during that time, it's pretty much over for you, I think it wouldn't be too strong if his cooldown was reduced by 1 second, to make the power feel a little but more responsive!
- Add more interesting UVX add-ons. (not just Status Effects)
There are quite a few add-ons focusing on the Hallucinations or teleporting, however there aren't that many interesting UVX add-ons, I think it would be cool if there were add-ons that gave you benefits with some negatives, for example:
Punctured Eyeball
- Reduces the UVX cooldown by 25% (from 6 seconds to 4.5 seconds)
- Reduces the Blast Area of UVX by 40%. (from 2.25 metres to 1.35 metres)
So you may have a really short cooldown, but in exchange you need to be really precise with your UVX shots to make the most out of it!
- Add an option to disable the VFX around the Unknown's FoV.
This is a personal thing, ever since the new HUD icons were introduced, the VFX are quite bothersome now, I wish there was an option to disable them completely.
And that's all! Do you think my suggestions are fair? Let me know!

I fully agree with you on the teleport recovery speed, however I don't agree with reducing the UVX cooldown, 7 seconds is fine. It's short enough that you have the opportunity to follow up and get the hit, but it's not so short that you can spam it. Unknown is a 115 killer with a projectile, and mistakes should matter.
The Unknown has 9 status addons. NINE. That's the most of any Killer and while I think it's good to have some of these, having that many is kinda boring and some of them are pretty bad too. Punctured Eyeball and Rabbit's Foot are both horrible addons and should be reworked, and Homemade Mask is undertuned for a purple addon, it should cause blindness for 90 seconds not 60.

Yea I guess that's fair.
I think the Homemade Mask should just get reworked completely, Blindness as a Very Rare add-on is just funny haha. Imo Very Rares should change the gameplay of the Killer a bit or add onto it. Status Effects are for Rare and Uncommon add-ons!
