If Pyramid Head is 4.6m/s, why isn't Deathslinger as well?
Pyramid Head is definitely a better Killer than Slinger. His ranged attack is far more useful and can hit multiple Survivors, and doesn't penalize you as long as Slinger's does... not to mention Pyramid Head has utility in his torment and cages. Slinger has nothing... except for his slow, slightly clunky harpoon gun and his gimp leg.
With the nerfs that Slinger received (increased TR, aiming speed decrease, whatever), it helped him be a little more enjoyable to face in a 1v1 scenario. However, his map pressure is still abysmal. Making him a 4.6m/s Killer would be an interesting change and could definitely improve his map pressure, and altogether make him more enjoyable to play. I personally enjoy playing him as he currently is, but he definitely feels weak... and DEFINITELY feels weaker than other ranged Killers like Trickster and Pyramid Head.
Also, I would love if the PTB were used for testing possible changes to things in the video game, and not just for new chapters or midchapter updates. They could even incentivize people to play the PTB with these smaller changes by offering BP bonuses or shards (preferably shards).

Yeah i totally agree. I don't understand why they made him the only 110% killer with a 32 meters terror radius. I think that the radius increase was needed, but you need to give him something for what you took to him.

You do make a fair point here but let's not forget to change the terror radius to 32m for deathslinger as well if his move speed does get buffed.

Never mind I did get it wrong cause most people use M&A....

It's not 24m anymore. They increased it to 32m with the recent nerfs.

AHH no wonder I felt like something was wrong.. hahahaha. welp...
I did prefer going up against quickscope tho. That one was easier to bait because you know they can't resist shooting when you're about to turn a corner or vault a window so you just switch direction suddenly to juke it. Now you have to look at him to know when he's going to shoot.
