Rework or remove exhaustion addons
Tired of seeing a killer using a BROWN addon being able to completely take away my ability to use a perk at all for an entire chase, generally for every chase, the entire game. They're insanely broken as is, especially Huntress', with how powerful she already is otherwise. Consider allowing exhaustion to tick down while running when exhaustion is triggered by a killer add-on - otherwise, I don't understand how a killer being able to completely remove your ability to use a perk for an entire game can be considered balanced, there's no comparable sort of perk for killers, let alone the several that a killer can remove for a game with these addons.

Kinda like how a 16 second channel can remove a killer's perk for an entire game? How is that for comparable?
There are only 3 killers who can render you exhausted. Huntress is probably the most dangerous/overpowered, and her brown add on should be a green, her yellow add on should be a purple, and the green should just not exist. Even with that, her durations should be shorted a lot.
Clown can apply it the easiest, and in mass, but he is also the worst killer whose power does almost nothing. Being able to take away exhaustion with a yellow add on isn't ridiculous for a power that is otherwise so weak.
And Pig has to down you first, so the exhaustion doesn't matter too much unless you waste a lot of time before you remove the traps.

And Demodoggo, despite only being 5s.

Ahh, yes. Forgot Demodoggo. But to be fair, he cannot apply it, the survivors have to apply it to themselves.

They could reduce the numbers a bit, but that's about it.

They'll do it when they get around to making changes to those killers. There's a reason they haven't released any (good) exhaustion addons since exhaustion no longer recovers while running.
Only one they released is demo but his is completely avoidable, just dont walk on a portal.
It doesn't matter how long the exhaustion is, if it's anymore than 5 seconds, it's basically a complete disable, these addons use to delay exhaustion perks, but they would come back. They're just an outdated design that'll get reworked when the killer does.

Obviously Huntress is the main issue with them. But the fact that they never revisited them at all after exhaustion was changed is insane.

Highly doubtful unless people push for it. They said they'd consider looking at them after they changed exhaustion - ages ago - but they haven't mentioned it since and there's no sign that they will.

They will. All killers with problematic exhaustion addons are killers that need addon reworks to be standardised. I'm confident that exhaustion addons will be significantly nerfed or removed when this happens.
Just look at iri king from doctor rework. Exhaustion was taken away

Hex perks can be countered by just cleasing a totem, denying an entire perk slot to a killer (this can happen even before they get any benefit out of it) and BTW there are perks to find totems by aura.
You can use aura blocking perks (Distortion, Sole Survivor, Off The Record) to negate BBQ, nurse's calling, some addons and Bitter Murmur.
You can deny iron maiden, infectiou fright with calm spirit
What about Knock Out? You can deny that perk with so much stuff. Keys, empathy, Bond, Afthercare...
Monitor and abuse against spine chill
You can deny hits: BT and MOM.
You can deny BW by using a key.
Damn, surivors can deny killer powers for god sake. Flashlights against Hag; flashlights, spine chill, premonition against Wraith; Calm spirit for the Doctor; Iron Will for the Spirit (not quite, but yet). You could see stealth killer with OoO some patches ago. OoO, you can see all traps for the trapper, Hag; it can deny mid to long range hatchets. And let's not forget: maps can track bear traps, because Trapper is OP.
What you are talking about??

So me hitting you with my power to negate your perk for this chase is bad but you having ability to completely take away my perk for the entire game by destroying my totem is perfectly fine
