Leatherface Changes

I was thinking of ways of making Leatherface a more enjoyable killer to play and thought of something I believe to be good enough to share. Remove his ability to bump into objects but instead if you fail to hit a survivor he will do his Tantrum. He isn't really charging at the survivors like Billy does but swings around wildly moving forward. I thought this makes more sense for the character but I'm unsure and wanted opinions.

    They should switch the LF and change his ability to where he gets a speed increase and who ever he hits suffers from mangled and broken effect all game

    Sorry but that will be a nerf. LF can be argued to be the worst Killer right now that is inferior to Billy in every aspect except basement camping, and even his ability to camp isnt so impressive if you consider Wraith, Pig, Doctor, Billy and Myers are really good in that regard too.

    He needs a rework.

    OMG tantrum on not  hitting a Survivor? That is a massive nerf unless you add AGES to his chainsaw dash. A single window vault would gain ground for LF needing to walk around and the several seconds of tantrum.

    Except one of his biggest weaknesses is that he is unable to properly hug objects while using his chainsaw. This is about better balance, not making him entirely broken.

    This would encourage people to use the ability more cautiously and learn better timing of abilities.

    Sure its one of his problems but that can be worked around if you're careful (look slightly away from any objects you run along). LF basicly has to get within cuddle range, lose distance again by revving up and regain it with his unimpressive acceleration. That takes way to long and is easily his biggest issue.
