Just read the leaked patch notes, I guessed from the preview, leatherface also has a “cooldown“
I mean, it’s being nice reading threads about Billy and how they are making it more annoying to use overall and how you can almost justify being annoying because one shot+map traversal, ignoring the fact the everyone needs map traversal ASAP and getting one-shots require hard reads and survivor mistakes
(it overheats too quickly when revving, thing you often do while looping to mindgame, zone and curve)
but my boi, Leatherface, does he need a cooldown tho?
look, I get it, he needed a rework, going faster, charges on chainsaw are nice, having control over your chainsaw run and making him go into tantrum after revving for too much is a neat detail (that will not stop face camping, mind you)
3 charges, 1 charge every 4 seconds, it’s not like it’s crippling but it’s the principle of the thing, why even bother?

Let’s see it in action before we comment. It’s a completely new playstyle for Leatherface, so we need data before judging whether a cooldown is justified or not.

Imagine how legion feels tho to have their power stolen again but now one that insta downs everyone lol

This isn't new information. They said there was a cooldown in plain English with the original reveal

Makes it so you can't just stand in front of a hooked Survivor permarevved.Misunderstood what you meant. Yeah, as said above, this was already known when they were discussing Leatherface's re-work:
Charges refill automatically at a rate of one every few seconds.

I think it will be ok. As someone who plays leatherface this seems ok for the distance the charges give you.

1 charge per 4 seconds seems decent, especially now that he moves at 5.29 which is faster than feral frenzy.

Oh God, it is, isn't it? (insert curse of choice here) there goes one of the last things Legion could be considered the best at...

Well, legion is still a master of stall ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Isnt that his max speed?
Wouldnt he need to spend 2-3 tokens to get any value out of the new max speed? It all depends on his acceleration.

Ah yes, I did not take that into account. Maybe they will buff chillis and make it so acceleration is now a noticeable stat?

Hillbilly gains 30% overheat from just revving up prior to movement - OOF
