Addons rework for all weak Killers
No buffs for Nurse and Billy needed, same with Huntress. Huntress, for example, is ridiculously good if you have the 1 hit kill ax + 2 axes extra, almost 3-4 man every game with ease provided you have a mori
I had close to 2.7k hours on this game, and would be willing to share my take on the addons that needs improvement for all the weaker killers. Some of their addons are simply not viable/ underpowered
The Pig has some issues. It's ridiculously easy to get off her traps, honestly, the addon Rules Set No.2 should be built in in her kit. It's very stupid how survivors get to see all aura of boxes at the start. Them having the ability to see it once timer activates sounds much better and threatening
the penalty for using Amanda's Letter is too harsh, considering Wraith does a better job at it and no penalty. Leaving you with one trap and 2 box means they will get the trap off extremely easy. this addon shouldn't be warrant as Ultra Rare when it comes with limiting your playstyle massively
Wraith, although pellet destroys him he's the best killer for camping if you want to have a game where you camp 2 hooks = 2 sacrifices he's one of the easiest provided you are using the 8/12 see-through aura addons. it's guaranteed you will get at least 2 kills especially if you face camp
His purples addon Blink Blood is a joke, Moderately reduces The Wraith's disappearance time. Buff it to Considerately and add a new addon reduces The Wraith's appearance time Considerately and he's good
Leather face just needs some ultra-rare and Award-winning Chillin needs a buff. If he has an Ultra rare like an upgraded version of Carburetor Tuning Guide he will be very viable. It's also kinda silly how he has his chainsaw's noise on all the time affecting his hearings and making you harder to hear survivors, when Billy doesn't have this problem, again a balance issue when Billy is just a superior killer with a huge map control
Freddy, Red Paint Brush is useless. Devs need to understand anything with Reduced movement speed is just bad. Freddy has a humming lullaby, as a result, making this totally pointless. In the Dreamworld, you have wall-hacks on survivor auras and it makes no justification for the lower move speed. This is a good addon for role-playing but the movement speed reduction is very unnecessary
Black Box, this should be a purple addon, not Ultra-rare. Absolutely pointless for wasting an add-on slot for this, it's not even hard to find a survivor at match-start. All killers can do this easily within the first 30 seconds. Needs to be rework or have a better ultra rare, it's really wasted on this
Myer, Judith's Tombstone movement speed reduction needs to be removed, you can infinite him seriously with this on, on Rank 1 games Judith will never get activated and this is meant to be used with Fragrant Tuft of Hair, which is impossible vs any Rank 1 survivors with the number of evil gains you required. I've tested so many times on high rank with this combo and you can only get this to work if survivors never run away from you and all stacked together. Even if you have it on you won't ever be able to catch up to them should they know how to juke around windows, house, and pellets
With Ruined on and the combo above, by the time you can activate it you would be having 1 gen left on Rank 1 games. This addon can work on Rank 20 but it's not viable at all on high rank
Vanity Mirror is too punishing for the reduced movement speed again, you are better off playing as Wraith/ Pig / tier 1, it's good the devs want to try out new modes, But the penalty for doing so made them un-viable in high-rank games
If possible, if Myer gets a very rare addon for Tremendously increase his evil gain he would be very viable in high rank games
Doc - Devs made one of the best add-ons for Doc, the penalty for High Stimulus Electrode, however, is too high, as a result, you won't be able to deal with pellet loops due to the long recharge time. Remove the penalty to allow more playstyles and allows him to deal with pellet loops should Doctors wants to try out snipe build. Running this build requires precise aiming since the AOE is so small
Trapper - Devs is doing great on the rework, but the color add-ons should be removed entirely, absolutely useless on high ranks when everyone plays on high brightness and no one will walk on grasses. You can only place them on Pellets and near windows on high ranks, otherwise, survivors will never run into them when during a chase, the chance is just too low. If an injured survivor got trapped again they really should get down. It's so silly how they are able to run again as if nothing happens
Hag - removes/ rework all her purple add-ons, seriously, all high-rank Hags only uses the setting time reduced timer. All of them are unviable, Scarred hand rework is good, the fact that it removes her teleport is a big deal, It limits the player's play style and forces them to use Scarred Hand.
If the hag can't teleport and her ability is only to block players. It's even a weaker ability in comparison to the trapper, whose traps might be easier to be seen and disarmed, but are much more punishable notably with the reworks. Especially if he hunts you into them during a chase.
Losing the ability to teleport is like said already a huge deal when it comes to the hag's mobility and map presence. The collisions alone can't make up for that. It would be a very good addon if no penalty on teleport and would make her a very decent killer, a slight reduction on timers for Mint rag would make it much more viable and make Hag a stronger killer
Waterlogged shoe has too many flaws, I don't know why the devs think buffing her movement speed by 0.1 is a good idea to fix this addon. First off, the slow from the Hindered effect only lasts close to 2 seconds, it is absolutely useless and was considered to be the worst addon in the game.
Why? Because it removes her ability to teleport to traps. That’s nearly as dumb as using two blink removing add-ons on the Nurse. Huntress has addons called Yew Seed Concoction and Yew Seed Brew. "Hit target suffers from the Hindered Status Effect for 15/30 seconds", they can be stacked, so it can be up to 45 seconds slow. Hag only has a 2-second slow and by using this addon it removes her ability to teleport, the slow is not like the Clown's slow where it slows down a survivor by 40%, it's only a slight modifier
Clown - His AOE last too short same with the area range, there have been too many situations s where a survivor is meant to be intoxicated but wasn't even though they are inside the visual area. Do more playtest on this and you will figure out this happens quite often especially during chases
Garish Make-up Kit makes too little difference and it's still too weak. Mists appearing on top of trees also looks silly. Even with the finger ultra rare addon Huntress is still superior with the 1 hit kill axe. Tattoo's Middle Finger is just plain bad, Devs really need to stop adding these and thinks they are viable at High ranks. Ultra rare of Cheap Gin Bottle with 3 + bottle would have been way better. Cigar Box, why is this even a rare addon? Slightly blurred vision doesn't justify it being a rare addon
He has an addon which is called Solvent Jug which prevents exhaustion for 30 seconds, why not have a better version for Rare etc? Huntress have one for 90 seconds this is really unfair
what makes a good killer best is that the holy trinity doesn't require add-ons to be effective, whereas Trapper etc are useless if they don't have add-ons vs decent survivors
