Iridescent Head either needs a nerf or a huge tell

Personally I'd prefer to just remove it stacking with +hatchet add ons. Make it strong still but take skill rather than sheer number of attempts. Long range sounds nice on paper, then you realise that they almost never happen, so you're burning an ultra rare in the hopes you get one fluke shot out of it and potentially waste a tonne of time just trying for it. A strong add on should be decent for everyone, not just people who have 3000 hours on Huntress alone.

As for her other ultra rare slot, it'd be cool to have the lullaby affect the whole map at the minimum volume until she gets close, or for a certain duration after hitting a hatchet.

One hit downs should be nerfed since survivors have absolutely nothing left that causes us to get up fast.

Brand new part is only like 25℅

Syringes take 16 secs to work and that's IF you don't get tunneled to oblivion

Purple bottle buys you one hit against a killer that's on your @$$ (wow). How many killers do we have now with one hit downs? The devs clearly favor the killers nowadays *shrugs*

That solution is perfect!

If someone has to get downed to figure out that she has Iridescent Hatchets — it's definitely not balanced at all. At least NOED, you can prevent it from happening and don't have to test the water.

You can make her miss, but as we all know, great Huntresses won't miss often and eventually they will hit you. Killers are supposed to be more powerful in chases, but the key is that Iridescent Hatchets removes 2 chases instead of one chase. This is a problem because your goal as a survivor is delay and stall the killer for as long as possible, if this ability is heavy disrupted — you're talking about huge snowball potential.

Personally ive always wanted iridescent head to mean infinit hatchets instead of one shots. I think it would be way more interesting and less disheartining to go against than a one shot with broken hitboxes.

And as a survivor I dont want to spend 7000bps on a brand new part or a needle... because they are weak to what they were. But tough cookies I guess.

I remember when Iri head reduced your hatchets by 2 not 4. It was a hot topic back then if its too much of a nerf. I think Iri head is a strong addon worthy of ultra rare. Its nothing overpowered.

I'm assuming the tell is 3 hatchets and watching a survivor be instadown.

I wouldn't mind it since it also ties in with the trophy. Only issue is that it becomes situational as a ultra rare so I would suggest an additional effect thats beneficial at melee to mid range that can't be effective at long range otherwise it's just another trash ultra rare that decreases your hatchets too.

If iridescent head gets nerfed than it won't see any play. Just because something's unfun to play against doesn't mean it's unbalanced

I just simply dodge load screens when I see a mori or black ward offering. Easy Shmeazy

They should NOT be powerful. No addon should be since it's power you can't balance around.

So by process of elimination they must instead be transformative. The Nurses UR's qualify as transformative, as do the Hags. The Huntresses does not and is problematic as a result.

Myers? Yup. Doctor? Sort of? Clown? No.

Of course I'm aware that Killers are changed due to addons. That's the result of trying to balance around strong addons despite that being a bad idea. In order for it to not break the game you need a weaker basekit so that a significantly stronger version won't be OP, thus making the Killer UP without it.

Would you like the killer to know about your item addon and counter it?

I would personally rather go against an ebony mori than a Iridescent Huntress unless the Huntress has no idea how to play or is farming because it's just terrible when they are a Huntress main.

I think the iri heads are fine the way they are. What the difference between being hit by a close range chainsaw from billy or bubba vs a close range from an iri? The difference is that you don't always get that with huntress it's her only instadown. Survivors have so much stuff that they can use to screw the killers, yet when they see a killer who is actually intimidating and has an advantage(which they should have they are the KILLER for christs sake) they complain and say it needs to be nerfed. I have a friend who mains huntress and has a very limited supply of iri heads and doesn't get them that often. The iri add-ons for all killers are supposed to be their best add-ons, please don't nerf them.

I could see 15-24 meters max before insta-downing, but not 32. 32 Meters is in the "lucky shot" territory that would be nearly impossible to hit, and would make the add-on completely useless. For consideration, you gave us a challenge for Huntress in Tome 3, Level 3 called "Bullseye: Hit 2 survivor(s) 15 meters away with the Huntress's Hatchets. Complete this challenge in a single trial."

I have to admit, I'm a pretty decent huntress, but that challange was difficult as hell, not to mention impossible on indoor maps, or maps cluttered with tons of LoS blockers. I tried that challenge 5 times before I finally got it on Wretched Shop due to there being some nice, open dead zones. If say, you limited it's insta-down ability to 20 meters, that alone makes it practically useless on all indoor maps, makes it crazy difficult on heavily cluttered LoS blocking maps like Suffocation Pit, Haddonfield, Badham, or Rotten Fields, and only useful to skilled killers on the more open maps like Wretched Shop, Blood lodge, Sheltered Woods, Torment Creek, or Disturbed Ward.

What I'm saying is; while making that change is a good Idea... you should take into account, if you can, the average distance the average Huntress player typically lands a hit, and add a few meters to that distance to match the higher skill needed for above average Huntress players. I would say, 20 meters, which is her default TR, is definitely a skill shot range, but any more than that is in the "heavily nerfed/useless add-on" territory, which is something you should try to avoid doing if you don't want an equally heavy community backlash.

Iri huntress should have only one hatchet and no other addons should be able to change it

Ok maybe one is harsh but if it's a one hitter make the shot count

Before I started using Huntress regularly, when i was leveling her up, I stockpiled Iridescent heads because I assumed her pink add-ons would be like others where they were good but not broken. I've used them a few times now and man, you just feel so gross and scummy and I'm a killer main. I don't know, I just can't bring myself to use them unless I see like four toolboxes or something I know is about to be a truly toxic game.
