An Idea to Make Huntress' Ultra Rare Add-Ons More Fun

Huntress' Ultra Rares are pretty underwhelming. Huntress' don't want to play as an M1 killer and there aren't too many scenarios in which she would need additional speed when out of Hatchets. Iridescent Head only being one Hatchet also doesn't feel rewarding and is just a net nerf to what it currently does. While Iridescent Head is currently overpowered, this change doesn't feel rewarding.

Ideas:

Iridescent Head -

Start the trial with 3 Hatchets. You can only carry a maximum of 3 Hatchets at a time, regardless of add-ons.

Hitting survivor with a Hatchet from at least 16 meters away automatically puts them into the dying state.

Soldier's Puttee -

Start the trial with 3 Hatchets. You can only carry a maximum of 3 Hatchets at a time, regardless of add-ons.

The Huntress does not hum her auxiliary Lullaby.

These would be much more interesting as Iridescents and shake up the gameplay, especially with SP, quite a bit!

Thoughts?

    1. Like I said in other threads, people underestimate 1 hatchet iri head a ton, in my experience as a mediocre huntress I did always well with it. But I wouldn't mind this change, seems fair

    2. This could be really op actually, don't forget her actual terror radius is only 20 meters. And people already hate Slinger because he can just swoop in and say hi. The best counter to her if you are in a bad spot is to run away as soon as you know that humming is coming towards you. Might be ok if that add on increased her terror radius to 32? But I really can't tell, the 3 hatchets might be ok enough. Sounds interesting tho and I love perks that change gameplay drastically.

    I can't ever see this version of Iridescent Head be worthwhile. This is only ever useful if the survivors are completely clueless and are all nearby you each time you reload your Hatchet. It's pretty easy to dodge at least one Hatchet, then Huntress has no way to catch up, so survivors make free distance while she reloads. Would rather have normal Hatchets.

    I think the hate for Deathslinger is more because his small Terror Radius is coupled with free instant zoning and without the use of perks or add-ons. Making Huntress' sneaking mechanic be tied to an ultra rare add-on while also reducing the amount of Hatchets that can be carried would be strong, but balanced for an add-on of its caliber. Plus, it's so strange how there is nothing to effect a huge distinguishing and immediately identifiable killer mechanic like Huntress' Lullaby.

    They're definitely more interesting. The iri head one was universally liked and requested for years now :(

    I don't think the lullaby should be tempered with though for the sake of game health. Huntress without the warning humming would be an absolute monster. Because she, unlike the Trickster, can actually get you from afar. It would be too busted imo

    I think the reduced Hatchet amount more than makes up for things here, and it's a red add-on, and something completely new. Maybe it could be for like 20 seconds after hitting someone with a Hatchet though?
