Pink Candy Should Be Permanent (HEAR ME OUT!)
Pink candy should be a permanent addition to vanilla BUT it should have a low spawn rate outside of special events.
The whole problem with pink candy is it's not uncommon for an SCP to get triple candied in a round. This is OP and ruins the fun for everyone because if the SCPs get insta killed then nobody is having fun.
However if for example pink candy had a 1% spawn chance, it would solve this issue by making triple pink candy statistically impossible. But it keeps the fun and novelty of being able to occasionally surprise an unsuspecting SCP. Nothing is more fun in video games than finding a super rare item. Having pink candy be a rare but obtainable item would make games more interesting and fun.
For example, if pink candy had a 1% spawn chance and EVERY scientist and D-class successfully made it to the candy room EVERY round, a pink candy would still only spawn once in every 5 games on a vanilla 25 pop server. It doesn't have to be specifically 1%, that's just a place holder example. But I think we can all agree that 1 pink candy spawning per 5 rounds is not some broken OP thing that will degrade the quality of matches.
