Why does every killer have so many useless addons?
Recent example pinhead, we clearly dont need range addons... theres 4 of them. Could of had more interesting or useful addons even increased chain movement speed, chains break slower (small %)
Other killers like pyramid head, ghost face where the only decent addons is like 2-4 out of the bunch.
Can we please do a mega addon overpass for all killers? And for the love of god remove the meme BP addons, making your power pointless for a small BP boost that's still capped is ridiculous.

Devs were the most creative when they made the addons for Myers and Hag. Addons that completely changed their playstyle.
Since then, most addons are either completely useless or have so little impact that the killer could also play without them.

No better example than new Freddy. His add ons might as well not exist

Well looking at the Doctor (rework), Spirit, Wraith (rework), etc. I wouldn't say "since then".
But most Killers recently are not getting as many unique and powerfull add-ons as before for sure. Sad but true.

I agree with almost everything but don't you dare take away my speed Limiter boob

crazy how almost all killer addons are trash, and survivor mains still want these “addon pass” and nerfing killer addons. And most killers addon have downsides bigger than upside (ex: Amanda secret) or the addon is really good it should be base kit instead of having to use it every game. (Ex: Chewed pen) they also have addons that literally don’t work just look at legion lol

Because how many add-ons are in the game, exactly? For how many different powers? That interact with how many different perks? And how bad are the Devs at keeping this game at the barest state of functionality?
No crap the Devs don't put in much effor any more. They shot themselves in the foot with Myers, giving him add-ons that literally change his power into what could have been a completely separate killer.

It doesn't matter how many bad add-ons exist, they don't justify the OP ones. Otherwise BNP's and Instaheals would never have been nerfed.

I wished they make Killers so addon dependence. But in return remove useless addon, reduce the rarity, or buff them to make an addon really changing an aspect of their power.
Something like Yellow Jaw cause both Haemorrhage & Mangled. Honing stone decreased to Green rarity. Purple Coil decreased to Brown rarity ect. And Im happy with his lack ability to carry more than 1 trap.

It mostly has to do with how overly ambitious they were with early killers. For a long time strong add ons were incredibly complained about, like Iridescent Head, 5 blink/omegablink Nurse. Michael is really weirdly on the edge, he has tombstone piece which is just stupidly OP, and infinite tier 3 is also pretty gross, but people for some reason enjoy his double ultra rares because the survivors also really have to screw up for them to work.
So then they started to veer more into the "changes how you play, but with major drawbacks" sort of area for ultra rares.
I don't know why, but with the recent Clown and Freddy changes however, they steered more into "your addons do ######### all."

Nemesis. No addons for his tentacle only for the zombies and useless.

Doctor has great addon design too and tricksters purple but the other ones like move faster while throwing are just dumb

I sometimes think the devs are just afraid to make good add ons which could change the way a killer is played. Everything is just so generic and therefor stale as #########.

Because I promise you, pighouse gloves are infact better than the common add-on that causes less overheat to happen
Jokes aside (Pighouse gloves is a joke) I have no idea if they even test the add-ons before hand as most of the reworked add-ons are all horrid and useless

For real though, the only add-ons worth running on him are the various teleport add-ons. Anything else is crap.

Well, dream pallets can be fun-
-oh, wait.

cough Trapper bags
Wraith's windstorm was made kit and it's been real nice. They really oughta extend that to Trapper to carry two traps basekit.

Fair point I actually don’t know what any do besides Marvin blood

Easy answer: useless add ons are not used and thus dont need to be balanced !
It saves BHVR à lot of work and money this way !
Wish for more creative add ons then just some kind of power buffs...or nerfs sometimes

Increase the zombies movement speed or let the survivors take longer to open the box with the cure...

Well, they have to have something to pad the blood web with else we'd only get good stuff all the time and that can't happen :P
As a killer I always keep wishing I didn't keep getting expensive map offering that I'll never use. I don't care what map I get as long as it isn't Haddonfield. I wish I could just trade all the useless map offerings as killer into the offering that blocks map offerings.
As for nemesis, I'd say he has quite a few decent add-ons, people just really underestimate the zombies and their buffs. They can be worse for the survivors than people realize.
