Killers that need an addon rework

In my opinion, I think hag and myers are currently the 2 killers that need a look at their addons most of them are either useless/weak (disfigured ear) and the rest are OP (tombstone & rusty shackles)

    Mikey and Pig both suffer from outdated kits where most of their addons are useless and some are too powerful (though on the powerful end, Myers is the clear king.) Hag needs her purples looked at (and Waterlogged Shoe, it's just a worse version of Freddy/Clown), but her browns through greens are in a good spot and I hope they don't get destroyed, because her percentages are much higher than many other killers have and it leads to some really impactful addons. Billy just needs another addon pass because nearly all of his suck; he needs way more strength and versatility. Ghostface needs his cooldown made partially basekit, and then like Billy, needs a sweep to make his mostly garbage addons more useful.

    This thread made me realize that at least five killers could use touch ups. Myers and Hillbilly are my top addon passes. Pig. Then ghost face. Finally, Hag needs limitations to her power.

    Myers: Buffs to his power & addon pass

    Hillbilly: Just revert the changes and nerf his addons

    Pig: Rework her whole power she's honestly either weak or the survivors lose because of pig luck tbh

    Ghostface: His addons are kind of meh but the others are good

    Hag: Nerf and buff her addons (And give her an iridescent addon)

    Spirit: Nerf and change her addons She literally has no counterplay

    All killers: Give each killer who doesn't have an iridescent addon, one

    Wraith: Iridescent Clapper

    Nurse: Iridescent Matchbox

    Myers: Iridescent Tombstone

    Hag: Iridescent Shoe

    Freddy: Iridescent Brush

    Pig: Iridescent Tape Recorder?

    Clown: Iridescent Pinky Finger

    Spirit: Iridescent Glasses

    Demogorgon: Iridescent Webs

    I know people are grasping for straws for trying to get the spirit nerfed but really?

    Her add-ons are what you're complaining about!?

    For context:

    Zori: 5% movement speed while haunting. Good but nothing of note

    Shiawase Amulet: .5 second longer haunting. Barely noticeable.

    Origami Crane. .03 extra charges per second... She needs 5 charges like blight to use her power. Or in other words an extra power every 167 or about one extra power every 3 minutes of constant cooldown and not counting haunting time so realistically once every 10+ minutes. Its a purely placebo add-on.

    Gifted Bambo comb: 15% faster haunting activation time or about a tenth of a second faster. Again a Placebo add-on.

    None of these are game changing and only the Zori(Shoes) are any good.

  • Legion needs a massive addon pass

    All the addons based on his old kit need changes, eg franks mix tape lowing the mend duration if you hit a suv that needs to mend in your power is really dumb and bad and another purple just lowers the mend timer and thats also just bad.

    The legion pin is worse that the yellow equivalent in terms of slowing the game to a snales pace if you can get multiple hits so its paired with duration.

    their blades just buy him mend time and thats boring and encourages massive slowdown builds.

    range addons give you info that you often cant use even so i think they are fine.

    His rulers are fine but kinda weak but they make sence since normal M1s deplete your power gauge FOR NO REASON.

    Myers has really busted addon possibilities. Wether its infi T3 at 4 gens with the j myers memorial or having a 3 meter TR in tier 2 with the dead rabbit and monitor his addons need to be brought into todays standards

    Tombstone op?

    Btw almost all of the hag addons are totally balanced and good. She has probably one of the best addon roster then everyone else.

    True even thuogh that the green pin is still usefull imo. I dislike susies mixape alo, its imo uterly underwhelming and boring and doesnt give you any benefit. I wonder what was wrong with the old susies mixtape?

    As has been stated earlier legion needs a look over for his addons as currently he only has a handful of good/viable choices. These of course being duration, recharge, mangled pin and iri pin. Some changes I'd like to see are:

    Fuming mixtape or Stab Wound Study: Survivors who are mending have their aura revealed within 28 metres of legion. Essentially nurses calling for mending. This would obviously be a powerful affect but I don't know whether it is deserving of being iridescent or just purple.

    Range addons (Susie's mixtape, never sleep pills, friendship bracelet): I would love if these just got reverted back to being speed addons for frenzy. These addons used to be so much fun and if they were added could be a fun alternative to duration addons\

    Stun reduction (Cold dirt, Joey's mixtape, Julie's mixtape): I personally believe that either legion should just get their stun reduced to three seconds or implement the lower reduction per frenzy chain stab and then remove the stun reduction addons. In their current state they have negligible effects but if any of the previous buffs were added they could become too strong. I personally like the idea of the rewarded for chain stabs idea so maybe these addons could provide additional buffs to legion for chain stabs. Yellow and green could be increased interaction/vault speed whilst cold dirt adds the ability to instantly down a survivor in frenzy after four chain stabs. Whether or not the purple one should be an iridescent is debatable.

    Frank's Mixtape: This is the one I'm the most iffy of cause it's not really that good but could lead to some frustration. Basically the bleed out timer goes down faster and it ignores survivors holding the mending button. Currently the mending timer could essentially be a few seconds from depleting but as long as the survivor decides to start mending before those few seconds deplete the survivor won't bleed out from the deep wounds. This addon essentially encourages survivors to mend asap once they stop running instead of maybe do a gen for a for a little bit and then mending. I also think it could add more lethality to the deep wounds. However, I understand if anyone thinks this is too strong as even I somewhat question whether or not this would be healthy.

    Freddy needs it the most imo. His add ons are so redundant you’d be better off without them

    Pyramid Head too. All of his very rares and ultra rares are awful. There's not a single redeeming quality about them.

    Gonna be controversial here and say that all killer addons coukd be reworked.

    Most addons that just buff a variable should be made basekit ( up to a certain rarity/percentage) and then removed or be given a more interesting effect.

    Myers has addons that turn him into a different killer, others get pitiful bp for less lethality.

    Bruh, not just tombstone and not just michael most of the killers' addons are either OP or really weak
