Why do devs keep making really bad killer addons?
Pyramid head's addons might even be worse than the Demogorgon's.
None of them is really useful or powerful. A purple addon that gives hemmorhage? REALLY? Or blindness? Do you even know that these status effects do nothing?
Also, an ultra rare addon that lets you insidious camp? Because that's all it's really useful for.

Brown to green are his most powerful followed by Scarlet Egg. His add-ons are much better than Demos, no idea what you mean. I can't recall his other pink add-on though.

They probably don't want to make addon dependant killers so they just don't make really strong addons.

Most killers are not addon dependant, they just have good and useful addons.

The only useless addons seem to be the purple ones.Other than that they are mostly ok

I'd argue his only useful add-ons (the only addons that make any difference when in a chase) are the ranged addons. If you run both, you get about an extra four meters on your ability, such a small difference you'd have to squint to see it. The rest are pretty useless.

Because the weaker a Killers addons are the easier the Killer is to balance. Super strong addons on a super strong Killer is OP. Super strong addons on a weak Killer is addon dependency. Weak addons on a strong Killer is irrelevant. Weak addons on a weak Killer is a weak Killer.
Out of these 4 extremes the scenarios with weak addons are prefereable to the scenarios with strong addons. There is a fine line where addons are both useful but not overbearing, however it's preferable to undershoot it than overshoot it and the devs are playing it safe.

The best addons are the ones with unique effects with inherent downsides. Hag's bodyblocker addons, Myers scratched mirror ect are great examples of this. However they are also the hardest to make so I understand why there aren't that many of them, as unfortunate as it is.

Was going to talk about it before seeing your second comment, that they should use more types of add ons like that which modify your gameplay rather than add ons which just modify the values. Like, for this the doctor is really well made imo. Even if it doesn't modify your gameplay entirely, it makes every add on unique. Fake pallets allow to bait loops, fake doctors give you a lot of information on the map, red dot and terror radius makes the games way more chaotic, etc ...
