FIXING CLOWN

in Feedback and Suggestions

Clown is the worst Killer in the entire game, but he doesn't have to be so bad. I am going to suggest many changes that could be made to make Clown a lot better.

Base Stats

  • Movement Speed: 115% (4.6m/s)
  • Terror Radius: 32 meters
  • Height: Tall
  • Reload Movement Speed: 70%
  • Reload Time: 3 seconds

power changes

  • Clown no longer slows himself while throwing bottles.
  • Clown can regress generators via direct bottle hits. PLEASE BHVR JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN ALREADY! (does not apply effects as if you kicked the generator)
  • Clown can throw bottles MUCH further. I'm talking Huntress hatchets level far. This will essentially allow Clown to "kick" gens while on the other side of the map if the user has good aim and there are no LOS blockers.
  • New scoring event for regressing generators using bottles.

add-on changes

With Clown now being able to "kick" gens using bottles, some add-ons will be changed to enhance this new part of his kit. Some add-ons have been nerfed to compensate for the reload buffs and movement speed buffs.

  • Redhead's Pinky Finger: Same effect; -2 bottles
  • Cigar Box: Has Tattoo's Middle Finger's old effect.
  • Tattoo's Middle Finger: New effect; Refunds bottles used to regress generators.
  • Garish Make-up kit: New effect; Intoxicated Survivors suffer from the Oblivious status effect for 45 seconds.
  • Bottle of Chloroform: New effect; Generators regressed via the Afterpiece Tonic will give Survivors a Tremendously difficult skill check with a bonus regression of 5% if they fail it upon touching the generator. (bottles apply Overcharge in short)
  • Sulfuric Acid Vial: New effect; generators regressed by the Afterpiece Tonic regress at 200% the normal rate, and suffer from an additional 5% immediate regression.
  • VHS Porn: Movement speed buff reduced to 14%.
  • Kerosene Can: New effect; Intoxicated Survivors do not see a Red Stain, and are afflicted by the Blindness status effect for 90 seconds.
  • Solvent Jug: Exhaustion applied by Intoxication reduced to 5 seconds from 30 seconds.
  • Thick Cork Stopper: nerfed to -1 second.
  • Fingerless Parade Gloves: nerfed to -.5 seconds.
  • Smelly Inner Soles: Movement speed buff reduced to 9%.


What do you think of these changes? Would they fix Clown or do you think he needs more? Would this make Clown busted?
