Top 5 worst killer add-ons
What would you say are the top 5 worst killer add-ons in the game and why.
This could be because they're not worth their rarity, more of a hindrance than a benefit or make you wonder why the hell they are an add-on to begin with.
Try not to count the blood point boosting add-ons as their purpose is to cripple the power in exchange for more bloodpoints.

My list
5) Every pin addon for Legion- yeah you might consider this cheating but I have no clue why you would want a double tap a survivor whilst in frenzy to apply status effect. Especially considering the status effects aren't really worth the chase potential you lose because of the stun and the speed boost from the hit that survivors get.
4) Brass case lighter - Devs, stop trying to make timed blindness happen, it's not going to happen. Blindness in itself is already a niche status effect adding a timer on to it doesn't help
3) "Z" Block - the hemorrhage status effect is not really good even when combined with bloodhound it just becomes decent. So why am I wasting a very rare add-on to apply it also there are two scenarios in which it will get applied.
* scenario 1 I'm chasing the survivor making the haemorrhage pointless because I don't need the extra tracking tool whilst I'm chasing them.
* scenario 2 They're triggering it whilst I'm occupied to get rid of it in which case why does them bleeding more help me out in any way shape or form.
2) Fuming mixtape- Derived from the Wraith's all-seeing Ultra Rare however the problem is whoever made it completely forgot why it works on Wraith.
*Wraith can be cloaked indefinitely meaning he could take as long as he wants to see the generator progression however Legion is on a timer
* Wraith doesn't have a cooldown or a recharge time in between his cloaking and uncloaking. Legion has to go into fatigue for 4 seconds and then wait for frenzy to recharge before they can use it again.
* Wraith doesn't lose aura reading on the generators when he uses his power however the second Legion applies Deep wounds to somebody they lose the ability to see gens making the add-on useless.
1) Amanda's secret - I have mained Amanda ever since her release however till this day I cannot find an effective use for this add-on or any reason why anyone would want to run it. The closest thing I have found to be useful for it was with Amanda's old endgame build and even then it was bad and laughably outclassed by almost every other add-on I tried with that build.
There is shooting yourself in the foot and then there's chopping off the entire leg for no reason

Probably most of the blindness/ hemorrhage addons, especially Freddy's Z block. Amanda's secret isn't that useful too. Those are the main ones that come to mind when I think of bad addons. Maybe stalking movement speed for Michael and Ghostface and the Chili addons for Bubba too?

clowns other ultra rare the one no one uses

Hag's Waterlogged Shoe.

if perk combo counts,
then myer tombstone + mirror
you can't get past tier 1, and you walk slower than survivors

5. Frank’s Mixtape: It takes 5 Frenzy hits to down someone, and even with the best power recovery add on it takes way too long to recover Frenzy to down survivors swiftly.
4. Award Winning Chili: The Acceleration does not help catching up to Survivors and the bump penalty makes it more risky than it’s worth.
3. Pugnent Vial (not sure if that’s the right add on): Although it’s nice to always know where lockers are as The Huntress, it still isn’t worth putting on compared to her other add ons.
2. Vanity Mirror: The range on it isn’t as good as Scratched Mirror, and the slight slow down in speed prevents Myers from effectively chasing or ambushing Survivors that ran more than a short distance away.
1. Vermillion Webcap (the purple add on): Apparently only add 1 extra second of Oblivious compared to the Ultra Rare that makes Oblivious last around 10 seconds. This makes it redundant and me very curious as to how mediocre the Rare add on is if this is the case.

Yeah Frank's mixtape definitely needs a rework.
1 -
Waterlogged shoe is very fun with scarred hand.
2 -
It used to be worse, I forgot whether it was the scarred hand or the shoe that had a slight speed penalty, but it basically makes Hag work like Puddle Freddy.

100-way tie for every add on that gives "Haemmorhage."

*gimp your power, get bonus bp addons*
Nurse got 2 of those .
2 Speed limiters
Padded jaws.

Bubba's Chili. It does literally nothing.

There are too many bad purple and red add-ons to limit them to just 5.

ALL OF LEGION'S!!!!
No seriously, I can give you a video with the numbers and how bad they are.
1 -
- Doctor’s Scrapped Tape: literally useless, confusing, and unintuitive. It’s just not good. And there is literally no perk or add on combos that make it worth its while.
- Myer’s Vanity Mirror: It SHOULD be tier II’s version of scratched but in reality it’s just a hindrance and completely outclassed by scratched mirror.
- Legion’s Pin Add ons: They COULD be good if it was on an initial frenzy hit like I originally thought - but you need to hit the same target twice and they’re just complete garbage.
- Freddy’s Blocks and Kid’s Drawing: While the rework was a success in my opinion, THEY MASSACRED MY BOY’S ADD ONS. The blocks are quite unworthy, especially given what they formerly were - a purple block gives a HEMORRHAGE effect??? Really?? If it was permanent or exhaustion, maybe it might have legs but no. The blocks should be what they were: making survivors fall asleep faster at increasing rates on rarity. The kid’s drawing used to be a nice little brown add on but now it’s essentially like Padded Jaws but you only get 200 points instead of a percentage. Ooh. Ugh. My boy had such a beautiful array of add ons back in the day, all useful in their own way. Now he has common garbage to avoid like everyone else.
- Hag’s Water/Mud add ons: I fail to see how increasing the distance from where a survivor can trigger a trap helps Hag in any meaningful way.
Honorable mentions go to Frank’s mixtape, Chili add ons for Bubba, and most Pig add ons: I hear the first two are broken and suck, and as for Pig’s, I think like Legion she needs an entire add on rework where other add ons besides rule set 2, crate of gears, tampered timer, video tape, and combat straps (most being purple and pink btw) are actually helpful for her.

Sure I'd be willing to see the video.
Legion is my second main after all.
