iridescent head is too strong
Boring 1 shot mechanic. Shouldn't be able to stack with the belt if it's going to be in the game.

@Doctor_Derek so I’m guessing Leatherface and Hillbilly’s chainsaw are a boring one shot mechanic as well? What about Mikey’s endless Tier 3 add-on?Doctor_Derek said:Boring 1 shot mechanic. Shouldn't be able to stack with the belt if it's going to be in the game.

I'm rank 1 on survivor and killer. I'm just giving balance feedback to improve the game. I can handle a game with this hatchet. I just survived one, but it wasn't very fun.

They allowed it to stack with the belt/loop deliberately. Hatchets ARE easy to dodge generally. If they didn't stack, it would reduce it by two. But inestead of making it needlessly complicated (and increasing the cost of the build, it was balamced around the military belt. 15k for 3 one shot hatchets? I dare say that's fair.

No I don't think those need changed. The hatchet's ease of use and forgiveness with the belt make it too much.

It's one sided fun just like every ultra rare item.

I don't like Iridescent Hatchets either but it's kind of like NOED where if you do good you probably wouldn't need them and if you do bad the perk / addon was the only thing saving your game. I don't believe Iridescent Hatchets are OP at all but I'd be fine with them being replaced quite honestly. Thing is I have no good suggestions for it so I'll leave it to the experts who main her to debate that.
If they're with an infantry belt that ensures Huntress can't throw them quicker than usual and they're easier to dodge and if the Huntress uses something that lets her throw them faster she pretty much just has 1 insta-down hatchet. She might get you once but afterwards juking her should be much easier once you know her addons.

Also are my eyes playing tricks on me or is the font brighter?

It's not that hard to dodge hatchets. Keep your eye on the huntress and be careful with pallets and windows.
But there are those times where the huntress will completely mind game/out play you and you get hit.0 -
It's called tapping into the power of being bipedal. It was already nerfed.

things like this are what I want from a post like mine. Just discuss options or give a reason why you disagree. Don't post "git gud" like an idiot.

Yes its broken overpowered.4

Hell, why stop there? Let’s get rid of Trappers Honing Stone while we’re at it. It’s totally not your fault you couldn’t dodge the hatchet, just like it’s totally not your fault you stepped into a Bear Trap.0

Ok as a huntress main I need to clear a fee things up the iridescent head's take off 4 hatchets if used alone that's a one throw and gives the game away if you miss to reload that's why the leather loop and infantry belts can add to it plus you have never played a game lost but had a teabagger be a dick then downed them and hooked right next to the gate its a very balanced addon that takes skill and alot of luck to catch people off guard like casing them to pallets so they throw or into a window sure it's a insta but it takes time and skill to use correctly people think huntress is a low to mid killer she's mid to high when used right this addon can truly screw over sfw teams and stuff you want a quick game or want a toxic team gone basment run Ti tier 3 so you can be closer to it hit the stairs with nurses if there not healing wind up and down the healthy then swipe the unhooked2

Imagine telling someone to "git gud" while using one of the easiest most OP add on's in the game. What a world to live in.

It's not the only op one this ones just marked right as a ur heck there's a vr trapper add-on that's a instadown and another that's also a vr that randomly resets traps but those have 0drawbacks the huntress's iridescent heads have the draw back of taking of 4 shots meaning even with the belts you have 2-3 max to down people try doing that when there masters at dodging takes skill other op addons take no skill to usealtruistic said:Imagine telling someone to "git gud" while using one of the easiest most OP add on's in the game.

You can use something op if you want but don't say it's not when it is.

Which is fine in my book. If she doesn’t miss, that means she’s very skilled at predicting Survivor movement. If she wiffs her hatchets, Huntress could very well be considered the worst Killer in the game. A Trapper who can’t hide traps well at least still has 115% movement speed.powerbats said:@SovererignKing said:

I just feel a lot of people underestimate how detrimental having two less hatchets (even if you’re running Infantry Belt with Iridescent Head) is.
I also feel like this is more a discussion about player skill, not the add on. I’ve had many, many, Huntress’s that used the combo but it was pointless cause she missed.
The term of “OP” gets thrown around so often, it’s lost its meaning. “OP” to me means that any newbie could pick up, and go ham with it. Some 10 hour Killer could take out Survivors with 1000’s of hours under their belts with it. That’s not the case here. Some 10 hour or less Huntress isn’t going to be a Dead aim shot and know how Survivors move, when to charge the shot, when to let it fly, aim around corners, ect. Just because he tossed on a couple add ons, isn’t going to suddenly make him a God with Huntress.
Its the same with Survivors. It’s not like purple flashlight with best add ons, suddenly some newbie is going to be a God with flashlight saves and bullying the Killer at every Pallet.0 -

Boring 1 - shot instaheal. Shouldnt be able to stack insta heals on survivors, that equals the power to deny 8 killer hits (or 4 insta downs)0 -
By your logic Honing Stone is OP. All you have to do is walk into a Bear Trap that’s on the other side of a Pallet or Window. You can’t even duck or dodge out of the way of it. Snap! You’re on the floor.benzos said:@SovererignKing said:

Lets take away their powers altogether. Trapper is still stronger than Huntress.
Just as you screwed up and couldn’t dodge the hatchet, you screwed up and stepped in a Bear Trap.
I’d love to hear your logic as to why Honing Stone isn’t OP, while Iridescent Head is. It makes no sense, you can avoid both if you’re good. If the Trapper and Huntress are damn good, they’ll get you. The only difference is the Trapper plans ahead on your movement, Huntress does it on the fly. You just crumble under pressure while being chased.1 -

That's not my logic. There are ways to get by the trap if you're not being chased. If you step in one while you're chase, youre dead no matter what but at least you have option to chance going thru loop or window. If you know it trapped, go around.
Trapper stronger than huntress without power? What does that mean? ofc he's stronger bc he has 115 movement speed and she 110.
I already said you can hatchet thru windows and some obstacles which already makes her strong. she's top 3 without IH. trapper is a m1 killer with ok powers, but stronger with addons. still he's not close to top 3 because he rely on survivor mistakes and luck.

Excessively strong but legit.
The doc git gud meme was not fun anymore even 6 months ago.3 -
The add-on is fine because it's an ultra rare. Your argument that it ruins gameplay is null and void because what if the killer wants to have a fun game? You say that the add-on should be removed because it isn't fun in gameplay? All of the Iridescent Add-ons suck to play against. It's supposed to be fun for the killer. Of you can't handle your host having some fun, shove off.0
