Really wish they would bring old Deathslinger back
I won't lie Deathslinger sucks when playing him because aiming just is a complete nightmare it takes really long to aim and come out of aiming and there isn't even any add-ons to reduce it. When I look at Deathslinger as a killer and even his lore he's a fearsome cowboy and by the looks of it quick with his aim. But now it feels like he can barely hold up his gun just aim and fire. Plus his few of his add-ons mainly the ones that deal with mending I barely see people use I think I see more people using the reload and reeling add-ons maybe his stun add-ons more often because I think those are his only decent ones. I mean just have it to where there can be an add-ons or two that decreases his aim time just so he can at least be like what he used to be.
You know what free add-on ideas
Scope attachment(yellow): While not the best in quality it still made hitting a target easier. Decrease aim down sight time by 15%
Gun Oil(Green): Makes any old gun look good as new. Decreases aim down sight by 25%

His fast ADS speed is what made him problematic before. He was almost un-loopable. If they made ADS speed add-ons, those would become the only ones people use because it's so strong.
They need to buff him in other ways, like giving him a secondary power, or maybe bring back stealth builds by reducing his Terror Radius again.

there is no other ways to buff him, he needs his ADS and TR back. Unfortunately, he is not in the patch note listing for this half-year. Better luck next year.

slinger chain could be stronger but outside of that he needs nothing.

I hope they don't.
They removed it because it lead to people constantly zoom spamming Survivors into lose lose situations during chases and bringing back his old ADS will just bring that issue back as well.
I still remember back when it was in the game, there would not go a day without one or more people complaining on the forum about how annoying Deathslinger was to play against because of how fast his ADS was.
I'm all for QOL for Slinger, but bringing back his old ADS is a terrible idea all around.

I agree the mend add-ons are bad. You're putting in time and effort to shoot a survivor, reel them in and hit them, just to drop chase so they can mend somewhere else for... 2 seconds longer, at best? What's the point in using my power on survivors only to let them go? Especially such a slow power.
I think he needs an add-on pass, like a lot of other killers do.

As someone that likes playing deathslinger every now and then, reverting ADS to what it used to be would be too strong and become a problem again like it was. The reason it was an issue is because it was pretty much instant and gave survivors pretty much no time to react and it was soooooo easy to fake going for a shot and just end up m1ing and just easy to end up zoning the survivor. I wouldn't be apposed to slightly increasing the speed of ADS but it would have to be the SLIGHTEST amount... again SLIGHTEST. He needs a buff in other areas maybe, I don't know how they would do that but ADS shouldn't really be buffed.

For starters it would be nice if he now didn’t lose 4 stacks of STBFL when shooting and hitting the obsession. But other then that I think they should just reduce his terror radius back down to 24m and maybe a few add on changes.

Maybe they could take a look at some of his add-ons, but Slinger's in a pretty good spot right now.
Your mileage is highly dependent on your skill with him, and on what platform you play on.

I say he should get the treatment that Pyramid Head got few years ago. DeathSlinger has his old ADS speed back. BUT, if he doesn't fire and lowers his gun is a long cool down. That way can keep the quick ADS, but makes it so can't just spam it for zoning.
Miss playing the cowboy just never fun since those nerfs.

As a diehard slinger main the biggest factor in the match is survivor skill, then your skill and then mostly rng. No good survivor will ever get sniped for example. However like 9/10 survivors I face can be sniped, not because slinger is good or I am skillfull, just because those survivors play like they bought the game yesterday. So slinger is still good in pubs but if survivors are good, then they have no excuse to not destroy that killer.

Then he would have 0 counterplay again and gain the ability to zone you for free by just spamming right click and the survivor having to just guess when he was going to insta scope.
