Pinhead needs a buff

Sad to say this, but time and time again has proven the Pinhead needs a buff. He gets almost no utility from his box or power at this point and he's just.....he's so laughably weak it's not even funny. A good change for him would be to hide the configuration to all survivors unless they are within 5 meters and decrease the time chain hunts take to spawn. Give the man some actually oppressive power.


OR


Let pinhead see his box with no negative repercussions. He should be able to find it, considering his actual Lore AND his true powers. Make pinhead oprr3ssive and vicious

    I disagree. While his chains are also weak, his box ( the foundation of his power( offers no real benefit. I can gen rush a pinhead while HOLDING his box and them not being able to do jack about it untill the last second. And even when telpeorting, if I hide being a set of obstacles, he can't get to me. Which means he cant punish me for using the box. The box itself should be buffed

    I think is passive is ok, but his chains are atrocious. They require a complicated skill shot to land, during which you can't move and am a sitting duck, and even when you do a perfect hit you can barely close the gap to the survivor and you even break your own chains.

    Maybe make Engineers fang base kit? :P I know, thats a controversial hot take, but at least then you would get something back for your investment.

    Another idea: make the chains auto aim, just like during chain hunts. This way Pinhead could throw the portal somewhere and keep moving, while the chains attack the nearest survivor. BAM! And suddenly his power is useful while it can still be dodged, just like during chain hunts.

    I really like Pinheads style, but he feels just so weak to play and unrewarding to use his power. If you miss the skill shot you are even harshly punished. Disgusting.

    Agreed. But I still think his box should be hidden for a bit. That way chain hunts are actually viable

    Yeah chains are really bad, I play him like an m1 killer I rarely use chains, most of the time holding W is far better than trying to use power, it's easy to miss and punishing
