How the dynamic should change between Leatherface and Hillbilly
So this will probably be the last Leatherface post I make for a while because I think I will have said all I need to say after this, with that I want to briefly give my thoughts on where Billy and LF are at now, compared to where they both should be after buffs to LF.
Below I will write both Billy and LF names and under each of them I will give what I feel each of them do better than the other:
Billy
Speed/Map pressure
Mind games
Easier to use chainsaw
Superior add-ons
Overall less clunkyness
**
Leatherface**
Camping hooks
Ok, so as you can see Billy does almost everything better than LF. Now some would argue that LF only strength of camping is actually enough for him to stand out, and while I agree he should keep this strength this absolutely should NOT be what he relies on in each game. I feel the dynamic between these two should be like this:
Leatherface is a much better punisher with his chainsaw
Billy has superior map pressure/speed
Do this and I believe that you would make these two killers stand out from each other, and allow you to decide what you would rather have for your upcoming game. I have already made numerous discussions about LF buffs so if you would like to check them out, please do go to my discussions and look for them. I will end this post with where I believe Billy and LF SHOULD be after some changes.
Thanks for reading!
Billy
Superior Speed/Map pressure
Easier to learn to play
Leatherface
Superior close range punishing with chainsaw
Better defensive play than Billy
**
Both should equally have**
Good, solid add-ons
Mind game potential ( perhaps through different means though )

I think all LF needs really is a 100% movespeed while charging, and a little more speed during the swing.

I think LF was rushed when he first came out and still do. He is like billys little brother, sucks at everything his big brother does.

they should either remove leather face from the game or give him a serious buff.
he needs aura reading abilities and a new mori change his mori into cutting off a survivors face and wearing it.
for every hit he gets on a survivor gives him 2 second aura reading on the hot survivor0 -

There really is no association between Leatherface and Hillbilly. They both use chainsaws, I get it. But they play completely different. Leatherface is his own killer. He should be judged on his own merits. About the only thing I would like to see done with Leatherface is to make it so if a pallet is dropped within 4 meters of him, his chainsaw charge time is greatly reduced for 2.5 seconds. This would basically give him a free brutal strength type effect independent of his add ons. That and fix the bug where sometimes he is penalized with the stun rampage instead of breaking pallets when he runs into pallets. Do those two things and I'm happy.

I've always kind of liked the idea of giving LF a short chainsaw sprint.
Leatherface's chainsaw would still be primarily defensive, but it would give him some better offensive capabilities.
