Two addons desperately need rarity's shifted. and most long time players will know the exact two...
Carburetor tuning guide and plaid flannel.
Plaid flannel should be common, just as doctor's maple knight is. Its a "training wheels" addon and serves no other real purpose.
Carburetor tuning guide should be rare. (edit very rare, the purple)
I do realize the devs intend to look at a variety of different addon series in the future, from nurse to doctor, hillbilly leatherface etc. but in the current state of the game i see no reason why these addons shouldn't be higher and lower rarity (even if they shall be edited later.)
Is there any reason they shouldn't be? other then that more plaid flannels would create more good nurses (which isn't a bad thing, people should know how to play, and have an easier time if they want to learn?) i realize this won't solve the "instasaw" combo which whilst i don't think is unbalanced i do believe it needs some adjusting, however i feel if it was made slightly rarer to go against, there would be less complaints against it.

Carburetor tuning guide is rare. Do you mean very rare?

Rarity is a stupid way to balance things. If something isn't well balanced, it doesn't matter how often you encounter it, it's still imbalanced. The whole "rarity" schtick is a farce - I don't care how often I go up against something blatantly imbalanced, I care that my time is basically up for grabs, 25% "Extremely hard to win game" and 75% "Winnable game" with no consistency. What's worse, the power of some killers' addons and survivors' tools limits the power of their base kit.
The addon system is stupid and just creates excuses to keep poor balance and design in game. Stop asking for rarity "nerfs" and ask them to fix the actual addons. Fix the game.

Yeah corrected it, thats what i meant. for whatever reason i thought the purple rarity was rare.

Thing is billy is balanced. Even "insta saw" is balanced its just powerful, which is why I don't think or believe it needs to be nerfed. Shifting it's rarity up, so there is simply less occurances of this would be nice. Expecially with an add-on with so little downsides

Yes. Prayer Beads are too fun to get rid of, but too OP to stay how they are.

father's glasses should be a yellow add on its helpful for noob spirits like me

Wouldn't mind this. But I wouldn't equate father's glasses to a training add-on. It allows superior tracking in phase, I wouldn't mind the raritys being swapped

I agree with you. Carburettor Tuning Guide gives too much benefits for being a green addon. It should be purple, as Yakuyoke Amulet.

I'd be fine with this. Though I'd like similar changes for most killers. It's very rare that they have a Iridescent that's on par with something like Insta Hatchets and far too common for them to have a normal item that really shouldn't be (omega blink nurse is at the door, should I let her in?)

I'm fine with this, but I'd also like to see Prayer Beads as an Ultra Rare and Spirit glasses as rare.

Technically not a nerf. You'd be more likely to get a Purple Carburetor tuning guide than a Green since there are more green addons out there. So it's actually a small buff, but not one that matters.

Sure there might be more greens, but don't forget only 2-1 purples usually spawn per bloodweb on average, and they could be cut coin, the branch the mist or Billy's other purple offerings too

But there are fewer purple addons to choose from, so you can accumulate purple addons more quickly than green ones. For example, I have more Infantry belts than oak hafts for Huntress. and that's just one example.

But there are also more green addons and offerings then there are purple. sure the numbers might look like the purples are higher, but you do technically get less of them even if the chances are higher of one being in your favour.
you might for example have 25 purple addons on pig, but you will likely have double or even triple the green addons, in multiple types and variations if you have that many purples.

I have 54 Ebony moris on my Leatherface and 5 primer bulbs.
What does rarity have to do with anything? It means nothing.
0 -
And I doubt you use those Ebony's much? Primer bulbs on the other hand yes?

Every Monday baybeeeee. Mori Monday!!!!!!!!

If plaid flannel was like maple knight I might actually use the Nurse. But she requires far too much investment for me tbh.
Vanity Mirror should be yellow, or if it retains its purple status, it needs to be buffed dramatically because Scratched is so much better. Tbh memorial flowers should be purple because fast stalking is pretty powerful.

Yup. Nothing like playing against bs add ons cause "rarity" even though i get spirit beads every other blood web cause you know, I 4k every game and well, killers get a crazy amount of points pretty effortlessly. Forcing the other side to play an imbalanced match bc killer entitlement makes 0 sense to me. If they wanna keep these garbage add ons in the game survivors should get a warning so they can at least put on their own rare stuff to counter. Tbh the skeleton key is the best thing against a mori which is often stacked with more rare add ons. Beads plus mori is still way more powerful than keys and insta heals though.
