Can the devs please consider reworking the Clown's Redhead's Pinky Finger addon in the near future?

Hello devs,

I read the post PTB notes, and I must say, I'm super happy with the changes you guys made as you addressed basically every bad point in that PTB that needed tweaking, including nerfing Clown's pinky finger in regards to his base bottle count getting increased.

That being said though, while I'm glad Redhead's Pinky Finger has been rightfully nerfed, I must say, it's really bad in its current state and would like to ask if a rework for it in the near future would be possible?

An instadown addon like RHPF is impossible to balance, it'll either be super broken, or complete trash and not worth it at all. So I think the instadown idea should be scrapped completely and replaced with something new entirely so it can actually be a useful addon (which it really should be since its Iridescent) that's neither too broken or too bad.

I know you guys were able to rework both of Blight's Iri addons in bug fix patches after the midchapter dropped which was great, so when I ask if this addon can be reworked in the near future, do you think it'd be possible to slip in a RHPF rework in an upcoming bug fix patch as well? It'd be greatly appreciated as I think Pinky Finger is too weak in its current state.

Thanks for reading or taking this suggestion into consideration.

    Yeah the nerf for it was an absolute band-aid fix but it's better than nothing. I would like for it to potentially reward bottle hits like it was originally intended to do as an Exposed add-on. Direct bottle hits within at least 8 meters will cause all windows 16 meters away from the survivor to become blocked by the Entity for 20 seconds. Basically a Bamboozle foil.

    If there is a limit of one little finger, it would be better to set the effect time to 10 seconds. It can only be used in places where it makes sense, and it has no antidote effect.

    Yeah, it should be reworked. I am happy that they nerfed it that hard, because it is a pain to go against and it is not really hard to hit a Survivor after they are hindered from another bottle. So I am happy that they removed that.

    But now it is just not really worth it anymore, so giving it an entire new effect is the way to go. And I hope that this is their plan and the nerf just now is the band-aid fix to get rid of it for the time being until they come up with another effect.

    I'd say it is harder to hit then billy chainsaw, bubba chainsaw and both stalking killers. probably harder then plague's infection too.
