The Clown Impressions
I'm not here to definitively say the killer is OP or super weak, I just want to know how everyone is feeling about The Clown in their first impressions. Me personally he seems pretty weak, mainly due to the affects of the bottle being so brief that it doesn't even matter. Again though, just a first impression I am not definitively saying that he is weak, but what's everyone else think?

He definitely has room for improvement. With some buffs to his ability that would make him a great killer. Can't interact with items while intoxicated and have him throw bottles straight just like how The Huntress throws her hatchets.

It should be straight, slowly falling down, but it is straight up, then straight down... Also the effect of the gas is weak.

i just watched a bit on Twitch. i only have a PS4 so no ptb for me.... he seems like a really sad huntress.... i dunno. i'll have to wait and play firsthand....

Am I the only one that feels that the clown should have another ability like the pig where he can cut off a finger to make himself stronger or make the survivor weaker when he downs somebody? But in order to do this the survivor gets to make a break for it and goes back to injured and runs like ds? So you would have to chose whether or not the debuff/buff is worth another chase. Only can do this twice per survivor and the choice can only last 10 seconds then the survivor automatically escapes with no penalty

He plays somewhat similar between Huntress and Doctor. His slowdown effect is really useful to catch up to the survivors. I primary been using the add-on that gives the survivors exhaustion and he seems to do really fine with it.
Seems like you want to throw the bottle ahead of the survivors so they can run into it, giving you an advantage before they reach the pallet.

He's alright, not the best, but definitely not the worst.
Try his "Redhead's Pinky Finger" addon, it makes him REALLY strong if used correctly.I do think he does need some buffs to his base power though.

i think the clown is too fast. even without bloodlust i get every swf. he should be slowed down. while intoxicated you shouldn't be able to use items. the fog should stay longer. the throwing arc is ok. we want a new killer not a huntress copy. the clown is not meant to kill people with his toxic but debuff the swfs, so another playstyle and thats good.

After quite a few rounds with him :
He's definitely not top tier. He's actually rather weak. But fun to play and use.
He has some neat tricks around corners, but could use some tweaks like :- A better throwing arc, more intuitive one. Maybe able to throw in straight line would be nice.
- Not being slowed down while throwing, to have some tools while in the open with survivors. Right now, the only option in the open is mostly to run after the survivor, and his power has hardly a use in that situation. Not getting slowed down would allow him to spam a bit and be more interactive.

Very weak, low mid tier. He doesn't stop looping at all. His power needs to last longer at base and maybe even worse vision. They keep making killers too addon dependent.

I fully agree with that, 100%Blueberry said:Very weak, low mid tier. He doesn't stop looping at all. His power needs to last longer at base and maybe even worse vision. They keep making killers too addon dependent.
