    Yes, but there are mad people who do all sorts of things :).

    Pinehead is boring to play he needs a rework already anyway

    Plus 2022 is going to be the year of the Demogorgon

    I don't get why they shot themselves in the foot so bad to get this character in and then gutted him in record time. They made a deal with the devil to get him in. Saddled up with NFT's which puts them at risk of valves ire and was probably the most negative reception the community has ever had toward the devs in the games 5 year history. They went through all that just to get this guy in because they wanted him so bad, and then in 2 months they have gutted him to the realm of Billy and Slinger. The old "If we make this killer garbage, no one will play them, so survivors won't complain anymore." strategy the devs love. And it's not like the contract and responsibilities of behavior vanish now. They're now stuck with the NFT's and whatever else they signed onto for probably at least 2 years, all for a killer they kneecapped in two months.

    So another killer has to experience their addons not adding much to their gameplay? That's depressing.

    This. Right. Here. The engineer's fang is the only PinHead add-on now that does anything. And that's not even good in my opinion because the Engineer's Fang is like another killer power entirely.

    If you want to play PinHead, the add-ons being run don't matter.

    Which is so sad because so much of what was fun about him was how flexible he was with different add ons changing how I played him.

    Survivors disconnected in 4/6 games i had today with pinhead. 2 of them were at the start of the game when they saw what i was playing.

    My theory of game balance being determined by kill stats and DC rates is adding up.

    I'll probably go back to Hag, Demo and Doctor. At least their addons are somewhat impactful.

    Doesn't affect me honestly he's boring and ######### to play with a controller

    Shrug.

    Even if I wasn't a fan of the killer, I'd still be annoyed at these changes. They are absurdly heavyhanded.

    Didn't they remove a chain from Engineers fang? That's pretty detrimental considering how easy it can be to break chains and having one less makes it all the more easier to break them and a lot harder to keep them locked down the second time. I get the box solving time addons nerfs but the iri lament nerf was kinda dumb.
