Nerfed Pinhead: is he okay or underperforming?
So Pinhead got big nerfs on his add-ons because according to stats he was OP thanks to his add-ons. Do you think he will be around 50% winrate now or he will drop below 50% and maybe recive some buffs in future?

I cant stand his nerf but im still doing awesome with him so I don't know.

The only killer I didn't brought.
Not fun to play and not fun to play against. His only strong side is Plaything perk. But it can be obtained from the Shrine.

My prediction is not much is changing. Fang is still his best add-on, even with one less chain against an injured person, and Chain Hunts which are his most powerful feature didn't undergo any major changes. So the nerf to Fang can have a modest effect but it’s not going to make a major adjustment in his performance. If he was good or bad before he’s just slightly below that now.

Trash Tier.

He wasnt nerfed, only his addons, so it didnt change much, still a mid tier killer that can be easily countered by CWFs and several map tiles. He is just as threatening as Clown.

I do alright with him, but survivors grab the box so fast. Unless I'm really aggressive about defending the box I rarely see chain hunts go off.

LOL. I would rather go against Pinhead than Clown all day. Clown's bottles are better than his possessed chain and easier to use. For how difficult/punishing his chain is I have a handful of experiences where it helped me more than just basic attacking them.

Indeed you are right, i suppose that even clown is less than a living meme than Pinhead at this point, after all, he didnt even CAME.

He was mid/high B tier with his basekit and low A with addons. Still mid/high B now, so he ain't that bad.

I'm happy with his addon nerfs honestly. I think in particular the addon that reduces the aura range of the box and the addons that increased solving time were hurting solo survivors a lot.
However, I do wish they would further help solo survivors a bit, by maybe having all survivors auras that are within 24 meters of the box, or something like that, be shown to all other survivors on the map. This way solo survivors could better judge whether they should go for the box or not.
And then, they could buff Pinhead's chase potential, the aspect of him that takes a lot of skill, by making his chains more consistent, and maybe also rewarding him with additional chains for long range shots.

He's basically just as good as he was before, except without the overpowered addons. Still a very viable killer.

Interesting mix of opinions here on forums - one side is saying he is still good / more fair now. The other he is now (or he allready was) garbage or weak.

Idk but he’s still a decent killer I think.
