Pyramid Head's addons need a rework
I feel like the only good addons he has are the range addons, and those that increase the time the trails stay in the environment. The other addons are so boring in my opinion. His purple and iri addons should be his strongest and most fun ones, but they are weak and so dull. I feel like a part of the reason not many people seem to play Pyramid Head is because his addons have suffered greatly, ever since his release. They are just not appealing.
Like, who is going to use his iri addon and stand in the trail, just to camp a gen or a hook? That's boring. Another issue is that a lot of his addons have a very similar icon, so you can't easily tell them apart and memorize them based on their appearance. Having to hover the mouse over them just to check if you got the right one is annoying. Addons should be distinguishable by their appearance.
These are just some ideas you could do with his addons, to make his more appealing to play:
1) Increase the speed of the punishment of the damned, so that survivors have less time to react
2) decrease the cooldown of the punishment of the damned, so that you can spam it more often and be encouraged to go for it more
3) punishment of the damned can break gens, pallets and breakable walls
4) tormented survivors cause pallets to break while vaulting over them; could add a possible balance to this, to cleanse the torment after 1 pallet broken in this manner
5) walking through a trail causes hindered for x seconds (similarly to clown's bottles addon that inflcts extra hindered status efffect)
6) if a survivor steps on a trail while they are tormented, they become exposed for 5-10 seconds
7) same as (6), but exhausted instead
8) rescuing a caged survivor inflicts broken status effect on the rescuer for x seconds (or hindered)
9) survivor rescued from a cage suffers from blindness for 60-90 seconds after being rescued
==> These are just some ideas, showing a lot of things you could do with his addons to actually make them appealing. Most of his current addons are just so unappealing and unfun. They don't really offer anything to his power (except for the range addons), any extra, fun playstyles.
