Clown speed bottle timer

I don't use the speed bottles of clown too much, because the slowdown ones are always more useful to use while in chase (in my opinion). The main problem i have with it... is the fact that it doesn't activate instantly; unlike its counterpart.

Do you think that it would be a good idea to make it pop instantly?

    I understand the reason behind making it on a timer, I just think that timer is too long. Make it activate slightly quicker and it'll be much better.

    The antidote is very finnicky to balance. Without a delay, it would be very broken as you would've instant bloodlust on demand by simply throwing a bottle at your feet, plus your pink bottles at survivors. It would remove any setup requirements.

    I think a better buff that could be experimented with would be to remove invigoration affecting survivors or separate ammo count (the latter is never happening because the devs said it would overcomplicate the UI).

    the best way to use clown bottles is to throw the yellow bottle on a short loop pallet(not dropped), then throw a purple bottle on the other side of the loop (the far edge). basically speed yourself up while the survivor is slowed. you'll likely get a hit unless they have deadhard.
