Hag doesn't have much in the way of add-ons
I'm not impressed by pretty much anything she has. Her strongest add-ons don't hold a candle to Wraith's strongest add-ons for example.
The trap setting speed add-ons like Rope Necklet are nice, for obvious reasons.
The trigger range add-ons like Bog Water actively work against you, because if the traps a triggered from further away, you tp and the survivor's already running away.
Trap duration like Cracked Turtle Egg is nice because it gives you that little bit more time to tp.
Revealing survivors auras through add-ons like Willow Wreath doesn't do anything for you. You would just tp and hit them.
Teleportation range add-ons like Dragonfly Wings are good, but it calls into question why she can't just teleport cross-map at base. Incoming "rAnGe CaMpInG" comments.
Scarred Hand blocking survivors would be nice if it didn't remove the ability to tp to traps. Not sure what the idea with that one was.
Granma's Heart silencing your tr and putting it on the trap is tricky, but redundant because you'd just tp and hit.
Disfigured Ear deafening people doesn't do anything.
Waterlogged shoe giving you additional speed is nice, and so is slowing the survivors down when they trip a phantasm, but losing the ability to tp is always not worth it.
Mint Rag and Rusty Shackles are her only strong add-ons, basically. Mint Rag: Let's you tp manually to a trap, with a 15-sec cooldown on that (perhaps that's not needed). Rusty Shackles: Makes your traps silent, in other words not making a phantasm appear (a model add-on imo). These still have plenty of counterplay.
Maybe you could begin to justify these overall weak add-ons with the fact that Hag's ability can* be strong, but when compared to Wraith's or Trapper's add-ons which have so much more variety of effects, I think we're missing out on what could be a creative and complete set of Hag add-ons.

Her Brown to green add ons are all great barring trigger range and mint rag is downright broken with the right build

You kidding me? Hag has some of the best addons in the game. Yeah, a lot of her high-end ones are stupid and even handicap her (ear, heart, hand, shoe), but Mint Rag and Rusty Shackles are both extremely dangerous, and her brown through green game is nuts with nearly all of their lines being noticeably helpful. Which is way more than most killers can say for themselves - I think only Wraith, Doctor, Plague, and maybe Huntress get that luxury.
I disagree on the catkins/willow wreath not being useful. If you have a trap around a high wall or the doorway of a structure, it immediately shows you where the survivor ran to, so you don't waste any time and they can't reach anywhere useful. I get good mileage out of it. Her teleportation range addons are the best - I'd argue trap duration, while nice, is on the less useful side because teleporting late means the survivor has had plenty of time to flee and you won't get the quick hit that makes Hag strong. It's most useful for people blowing up your traps while you're carrying someone. The trap trigger range is the only one that's not worth anything.

Mint Rag? Counterplay? Ok.
Hag has a lot of good addons, but also a bunch of bad, gimmicky addons, mostly at the higher rarities. They could do with buffing stuff like Waterlogged Shoe and Scarred Hand, which are straight downgrades lol.
Mint Rag is an overpowered addon that should really be reworked entirely, and Rusty Shackles is very obnoxious. Most of her addons from Brown through Green are very good, except Trigger Range addons, obviously.
Hag absolutely has good addons. You wanna see bad ones? Just look at Freddy and Pyramid Head.

Hag's add-ons are perfectly fine.
It is with Freddy that you should be concerned.

I mean, she never really got a good Add-on pass like Trapper recently. They just used the old effects and either buffed it or removed their downsides.. and that was years ago.
Add-ons like the Scarred Hand is pretty outdated. And even Waterlogged Shoe. No Add-on should ever remove your power completely. Her more common ones are good I guess, I like to use range IF I ever happen to play Hag, which I'd have to be masochistic for to actually play her, but all in all, she has the same issue as Myers. Some really strong Add-ons, then some middle ground Add-ons which are useful and then the garbage Add-ons like Waterlogged Shoe, Scarred Hand, Granma's Heart and whatelse there is.
She could use an Add-on pass, but I don't think it's needed. Her basekit is pretty fine.

But if your trap lasts longer, you can be late to the tp and still be able to go there and replace it, which is a big thing for Hag.

I'm wanting killers to be pushed to the next level. Take whatever you want with Hag, but go against a comp 4-SWF with at least 1 flashlight, and it's over. If you can play well with a killer, even if you have to use their strongest add-ons and perks, and actually beat teams like that, I'll be happy.

I actually like playing Scarred Hand + Waterlogged Shoe,I'd be sad to see it to.

some of her addons are boring, some are innefective, but they're almost all super strong.

I'm an avid Hag player and don't think she has any unique add on problems. It's like any other killer: there's no reason to run anything other than their best add ons. Range/setting time or Rusty Shackles. But that's not a problem unique to Hag. Nurse is that way with range/recharge. PH is that way with range add ons. The list goes on.

Willow Wreath can actually be useful to catch the one survivor following you around, setting off your traps on purpose then hiding nearby to initiate a chase to nearby traps then hook the nuisance survivor and then trap in peace at least until the nuisance gets unhooked. 😒
Beside that, Hag doesn't rlly need insanely great pink addons. She does her job just fine going addonless. If I do use addons then I'll use the one that sets traps faster, longer teleport duration, Willow Wreath or Rusty Shackles when I want to use my ruthless Hag build.

Rusty shackles remove her gimmick to grab survivor's camera.
1 -
Very true. I rarely run them for that reason. They can actually rob her of hits

I strongly disagree with this post. Sure most of her purple add ons are very lacking, but her green-brown add-ons really get the job done and can change get playstyle, especially trigger range add ons. There's killers that lack a lot more in terms of add-ons, like for example Demo.
