Add-ons to change appearance of items and killer powers
I'm sure this has been suggested before but I really like this idea and wanted to bring it back up.
What if add-ons changed an item's/power's appearance, like a brand new part sticking out of a toolbox or long guide bar actually making billy's (or bubba's) chainsaw longer. These small appearance changes would be pretty cool to see.
Now a problem with this is that people will identify add-ons the other party has and I don't know if that would be a good change since this has never been a thing (except for a few select add-ons), so another idea is to do it like in terraria where you put a piece of equipment in the vanity slot and you don't gain any stats from it but it's visible for everyone to see.
So basically have cosmetic slots where you put add-ons (they don't get consumed) and change the look of items/powers without the benefit of that add-on, plus you can still use functional add-ons that are hidden (like now) so people can't identify which add-ons someone has.
Of course there would be a few exceptions like you can't use tar bottle/logwood dye in the cosmetic slot for obvious reasons.
They could also be unlockable, for example you unlock the add-on for the cosmetic slot if you use it in a way during a match or more simply use it for several games.
Lastly if the devs ever decide to make item/power cosmetics in the game they could simply be in the same slot as the cosmetic add-ons (say you have the different hatchet heads from add-ons plus those that you can buy from the store that only work in the cosmetic slot as they aren't add-ons).
If you guys have any comments on this please share!

Nobody has any input on this?
That would be cool for the cosmetics team. First, I would like to see different items getting different cosmetics, the way the holiday flashlights/first aid kits do.
