People are always suggesting nerfs to deathslinger because of how unfun he is to play against and suggesting he have an increased ADS time ect. Personally I don't thing this is a good idea it would just make him pointless while huntress is in the game but I remember when he came out a massive deal was make out of the fact you had to reel survivors in but now people just hold S once someone's hooked and that's not possible anymore because survivors cant swing side to side. So just get rid of it and buff him in other ways to compensate maybe survivors shouldn't get a speed boost when the chain breaks because the distance they can get is insane remember survivors already have

Slingers stun + Speed boost + Reload time + Whatever distance the chain broke at.

or his chain could just have more durability. I just think deathslinger could be strong and fun and his tug of war chain breaking mechanic could be so much more imo and it was so cool when it was announced even if everyone thought he was gonna be too bullyable which is honestly a big concern and why he's probably never been changed.

Il admit I'm not the best death slinger though i do play a lot of killer but just not him and huntress much as mechanically im terrible when it comes to aiming so most of my experience with him is on the survivor side.

    Playing around the speed boost after a hit is literally the only way of actually having a chance in a chase against him, so no that would be a horrid idea. And I don't see why you'd need to make the chain more durable, it's already so forgiving. If anything it needs to be less durable.
