Slight change to Clown?
I like Clown. I love his laughter and jiggling his belly on helpless survivors. I think healthy fix to 🤡 would be:
The Clown has a new mode.
At the start he simply has his basic M1 weapon. You toggle the button of choice to switch to “Tonic Mode”. The Clown now has 3 bottles of each tonic. M1 becomes the Afterpiece, and the second ability button is the Antidote. In this mode the Clown can gas all the areas accordingly with the click of both buttons. Both gasses will appear white at first, but the Afterpiece turns color slightly faster than the Antidote will. Whenever the two mix after turning colors it combines to make a thick white smokescreen that lingers for a few more seconds. Whenever a survivor is in this smoke their vision becomes slightly impaired, and they cannot see the Clowns Red Stain until they step out of the smoke. The Clown can attain BL in Tonic Mode. However, if he hits a survivor with a bottle the BL goes away. The Clown cannot attack, or refill bottles in Tonic Mode. He must swap back to his weapon in which he can refill. It takes 1 second to swap modes.
What the Clown needs is to make his ability all about deception. Chasing you somewhere you think is safe. Only for him to gas the entire tile. New Clown is now a matter of survivors having to guess which color his gases MIGHT become as he prepares to attack. If survivors guess wrong it’ll misplace them, and potentially slow them down. If they make a good prediction they’ll surely get away. They’ll even speed up if they predict that the Clown left an Antidote for himself. The smokescreen is to place pressure on survivors at would-be safe tiles. They’re safer overall by sitting at killer shack, but with no RS in the shack they’re susceptible to more mind games there.
There’s the good ole VHS 📼 for the element of surprise at the start of the trial to fool survivors for the very first time. By altering the colors. I figured this because his own perk Bamboozle is a deceptive type of perk that’ll work the first time, but afterwards survivors adapt accordingly.

You're asking way too much for their brains here. If they ever buff Clown it's gonna be +0.50s yellow buff duration while leaving Pinky Finger gutted.

Clown definitely needs a rework. Having both his tonics change from White to the respective color would fix him imo. He must be able to deceive players into stumbling into his reach. He can’t do that if the purple clouds are always a color. It’s too easy for survivors to predict Clown with his speed manipulations that way. They’ll just run to wherever it’s safest no matter what color bottle is thrown at them. If survivors had to guess which bottles Clown threw at them every time the survivors could guess wrong, and get hit as a consequence.
