The Security Guard's Badge and Streamers nerf for Springtrap should be reverted.
The addon changes for Springtrap that came with the hotfix today are, in all honesty, very questionable to say the least. Springtrap already isn't a very strong Killer and doesn't really warrant nerfing, so the basis for the changes alone is strange. But the changes themselves, at least from what I've seen and played so far, actually punishes people for trying to create interesting builds with the character and utilize what's unique about him gameplay wise, and instead rewards people who pretty much just play him like Clown.
So instead of people getting rewarded for using the most unique aspect about the Killer, (his doors) we decide to nerf the addon that very slightly hinders Survivor's ability to pre-run when they see the door is being traveled to and the addon that rewards him for popping in and out of doors and keeping lots of map pressure by surprising people with his Undetectable. I'm not gonna sit here and defend Bonnie's Guitar Strings, as I 100% agree that addon needed toned down a little, but I also think his other fun addons should've been brought up to compensate and help make them as viable and worthy of considering as Bonnie's Guitar Strings.
But instead, the addons that essentially turn Springtrap into worse Clown get buffed and now the rewarded playstyle is not pressuring the map by using your doors and map knowledge effectively or going for cool shots with your axe, it's throwing your axe at one end of the loop, forcing the Survivor to drop the pallet with the haste from Foxy's Hook, and then insta-breaking it with Endo CPU. Hopefully, I shouldn't have to explain why this is absurdly boring for both the Killer and the Survivors and effectively kills a lot of the gameplay identity and fun for this character.
Like I said, I get why Bonnie's Guitar Strings was nerfed, but there was genuinely zero reason to nerf Security Guard's Badge and Streamers. I'd hope that sometime soon these addons get reverted or at least buffed a little.

Yeah it makes 0 sense. Hell the Party Hat nerf makes even less sense because it's not even very good… like who the hell was even using that? Also the buff to Foxy's Hook which is a very problematic addon that should have been reworked is also baffling.

Agreed but Party Hat actually got buffed, not that it makes it much better though considering the only reason you'd use it is to more easily trigger Foxy's Hook, Chica's Bib, or Endo CPU, aka his most problematic addons I'd argue.

yep the changes butchered the animatronic, he already got pretty much nerfed from the ptb, and even there he was an A- killer, now he is just a B, i made a HUGE post while he was in the PTB with changes to make EVERY SINGLE ADDON good before release and if you read it they did pretty much the opposite.
Again since im pretty experienced, watch the statistics go boom with Endo CPU + guitar. Because these are the ONLY usable addons still…

I don't think his changes from PTB to live were really that severe besides nerfing Celebrate Poster, which arguably deserved it since it granted way more of a bonus to the Killer than the Survivor because of how lunges work. I can confirm though I was using Endo CPU and Foxy's Hook with Superior Anatomy and Unbound on him yesterday, and I'd say probably 1 in 3 of my games had at least one DC or someone giving up after I downed someone purely from speed differential. I have no idea why they're encouraging this playstyle, I'll be honest.
