Rework add-ons for killers that have little to no effect
I'm finding that each killer seems to have those specific "useless" add-ons that almost no one uses. Probably the biggest example is the acceleration add-ons for Leatherface. If they are so underused and underwhelming, why haven't the devs changed/fixed them to be more beneficial? Killers like Myers and Leatherface only have a handful of add-ons that actually help the killer do anything.
Also, most killers don't need add-ons that cause statuses such as mangled, blindness, etc. (especially when these statuses last no longer than a minute). They serve almost no purpose half the time, unless you are going for a very niche playstyle or are running a specific perk it may aid in. My biggest annoyance with this is Legion's add-on that causes a broken status for 60 seconds. While a broken survivor can be useful, you don't need the survivor you are chasing to be broken. The effect will wear off of them anyways by the time they need to heal again, so it proves useless in a majority of the cases.

Add-ons that inflict a status effect that isn't exhaustion, hindered or exposed are useless. Why would you wanna inflict a short duration blindness debuff mid-chase to a survivor who you're going to down and hang on a hook? Its utterly pointless.

They did say in a dev stream that they plan on reworking the Legion's Broken (and other similar) add-ons so that it applies on the first Frenzy hit, rather than only hitting somebody already Deep Wounded. That way the Legion can apply it and run to another target. Which is still kinda trash, but at least has a certain limited use. But as it it stands, yeah, it's pretty trash since you have to chase someone twice and, consequently, lose your frenzy and take a stun and are probably going to be just chasing that person down anyway).

Don't forget mangled addons, @se05239
Mid-chase, blindness isn't great. Having it on someone as long as there's a party hat, though...
In general, most killers have between two and ten useless addons. They really should rework that entire system, and have more clear instructions for addon order and stacking. It'd be nice for some updates to wording to reflect emblem changes, as well.

Leatherface is unique in that only his charge-reduction addons are the only viable things you can really run on him.
I can't really think of any other killer that has such a severely limited menu selection.
And no, his movement speed increasing addons are bad because increased charged time isn't good enough to compensate for the increased movement speed, in my opinion at least.
Even his status effect addons are garbage since BHVR nerfed it so that status effects durations cannot stack upon one another.
