Why do survivors not lose their items, addons and the killer does lose his addons?

I think based on the massively lop-sided boost a killer can get from their add-ons, versus survivors, that would require major rework.

Not with commons, but with things like

• Cox-combed Clapper (Wraith)
• Tombstone (Shape)
• Iridescent Heads (Huntress)

In the right hands (not elite skilled, just adept players), those sorts of items are disgustingly powerful, and would grant those sorts of players almost a permanent perk, you know?

Not to mention Player Items actually have a limit within game, whereas killers receive infinite boosts during the match based on their add-ons.

Last, I think this would promote game-hostage slugging. Not in the "last survivor is right here, I'm going to get him first" sort of way, but in the "I'm going to leave this guy here so he has to either bleed for 3-4 minutes or DC while I chase the other guy, because gods-forbid he get the hatch!!!!1111"

Still not reasonable enough; i admit that killers who wanna use strong add-ons should invest alot in these but i'm guessing he's not talking about OP add-ons rather bout add-ons who either spice gameplay in another direction or boost ability to make killer viable at all... and worst due the RNG it's a pain regaining these for a solid constant play... as survivor items/add-ons may have limited usage it undenyibly gives em a huge boost for survival and carrying these items over to next EZ surviving games without loss or further investment does seem unfair, regardless the difference of point quality wich sometimes not far as well depending how survivor play. / I always criticised the skillshop/bloodweb system as it's too RNG focused nowadays... back then with only 4 survivors and 3 killers the perk pool was small so RNG were not as heavy as it nowadays now actually is with 12+ killers and 15+ survivors, each with 3 perks and the around 15 perks default for everyone.../ I know i jump the gun with perks while it's a add-ons thread but since both fall under the same RNG system i think it's worth speaking it out, as my improvement suggestion would be scrapping the bloodweb and using the Kill ur Friends skill-layout but u need to purchase and upgrade ur perks with bloodpoints, as for add-ons u purchase the unlock of add-ons but still pay additional bloodpoints if u wanna use them for a match.../ ofc if a survivor escapes with a item/add-ons he gets a refund in bloodpoints to make up but the RNG system needs to be removed! / RNG during a match due mapkind, maplayout, skillchecks and other stuff are fine... but not if u wanna gear urself up for the unknown trial

My proposal is the next: if the killer sacrifices 4 survivors (ruthless victory) he will not lose their items and addons.

I suppose that would be fine if you also had to risk 3K-6K BP to get your power every trial like survivors have to risk to start with a medkit, toolkit, or whatever before add-ons. And if the killer also got about the same BP per match as a survivor does...killers gets loads more over time.
