Is it just me or is he really, and i mean really weak?

I've hit survivors with the chains behind an L wall and not been able to catch up to them before they get to the medium vault window. Then its like, what is even the point of using his power?

    It definitely doesn't feel that impactful, but it does have some uses. He is a hard killer.

    I've got his power to work pretty ok for me in the 2 matches I've played. It seems like its best used at smaller loops. I haven't got a chain hunt yet though.

    I noted that on PTB and surprised there was no changes to that, like a worse off clown atm for me. Maybe an inclusion of a quick-time event (Random button inputs) for breaking chains might help with using it in a chase. Cause currently survivor's are just holding M1 while running and it breaks instantly.

    More interested in how his perks perform on other killer's at this point in time though.

    To top it off as well, they can break the chain on the environment, so by the time you even get back to pinheads body, the chain can already be broken.

    Seems best to use the chain at close looping range, even then it can take 2+ chains to get a hit.
