Game Balance
The balance in this game is kinda messed up. Both survivors and killers both have some unbalanced and broken items. And just giving the other side another broken item wont fix the issue, in fact it would make it worse, since not all survivors will use the OP item and same goes for killers.
Lets take the Spirit's prayer beads for example. Many people view this addon as very op. I wont say whether or not i agree, but a solution i have seen thrown around is to make it an ultra rare addon. This doesnt solve the issue. Just because something is more rare, doesnt mean its more balanced. Thats like if EA sold an OP item in lootboxes and in order to make it more "balanced" they just made the drop chance 0.1%. The increased rarity doesnt stop people who get the item from being OP. You are just sweeping it under the rug and hope people forget about it.
Also, making the OP item more rare doesnt stop the annoyance and unfairness that it causes when that item is used. If we made syringes, keys, and ebony mori's insanely rare, that wont fix the issue of people going:
"I'll tunnel the survivor"
or
"Ebony Mori = DC"
Op items should be removed or nerfed not kept in the game.

This isn’t a competition at any level.
This is about fun. I’ll gladly accept being beat if it means on my turn I get to enjoy using a mori. If this is competitive then let survivors kick each other From lobby on a vote system. Sorry your only rank 6 kick sorry no noobs on my team.
yeah i guess so, but just because something isnt very competitive doesnt mean we shouldnt be concerned about OP items. I think most people would agree that if someone gets an OP gun in a shooter that it would ruin the fun for everyone else in the game.
Personally im not too upset when i see an ebony mori, but i understand the frustration with keys and moris, so i think that most people would agree that they should be looked at.
Keys Mori infinite tier 3 any one hit downs anything that makes gens faster. Anything that effects pallets or even hooks. Well we’ll take everything away except trapper and the first 4 survivors.
how do you go from "op things should probably be looked at" to "delete everything"
how do u balance something that balance wasn’t the first concern. How do u balance mori or keys? How do u balance one hit downs. Just cause you think or don’t think somethings “fair” doesn’t mean someone else would disagree or agree and there thoughts are just as right as yours. So everything would have to be reassessed.
Game balance should be BHVR's first concern. Look at MoM. game balance clearly wasnt their first concern when adding that. Guess they shouldnt have done anything about it.
Have a drawback for moris. Keys take time to open hatch and alerts the killer.
Insta downs require more work/ skill from the killer. (Iridesent axe head is a perfect example, since it limits your hatchets to 1 hatchet excluding other add-ons)
Moris reduces the amount of work the killer needs to apply to kill survivors by 33% assuming no slugging occurred. Keys reduce the work survivors need to do by up to 20-25% assuming only 1 survivor died when the key is used. these items have an insanely huge impact on a game's outcome.
Toolboxes and the such reduce generator completion times by approximately 25% according to the wiki if you use an engineer's toolbox. This too is have a substantial effect on the games outcome. Toolboxes should require more input from the survivor if they are used. More skill = more benefits. But all potential benefits should also put the player at risk too.
You don't get it and that's fine. If you have over 500 hours you are not the target audience. Also if it's really so bad why keep playing.
And yes nothing in this game qualifys as "skill"

Yo you see that... You one hitting people with leatherface mean you got skillz
I'm all for removing broken setups from the game, but the devs really need to address map design as well.
Map design is arguably the main reason this game is not balanced.
Leatherface just wants y’alls faces!😭
Replace pallets for Windows which block when used and give everyone a chainsaw including bubba.
