Pinhead's Power is lackluster.

Summons Of Pain - My suggestion, is this power should hold onto the survivor a bit longer. Pinhead should not be able to break the chains that are latched onto a survivor. That seems odd to me.

Currently you use that power at a loop and the survivor still makes it to the loop or pallet. The slow down is weak sadly. Houndmaster and DeathSlinger do a way better job. My suggestion if you want an easier time, play deathslinger. At least if they do make the loop and get shot they will be injured.

A power should function decently by itself. It shouldnt have to require specific addons.

Impaling Wire - Purple Addon is the only way I can make his power somewhat useful.

His box in its current state is fine though. I like the passive slowdown.

    pinhead is bad nurse. has to do blink chains but they offer no reward. his box slowdown is only thing that works if you spam go to the box and keep reactivating chain-hunt.

    i can't wait till he gets tweaks/qol changes.

    I agree - he needs it. What do you think they will do with Plague?

    According to the devs, he will get some tweaks. I hope he will get the right ones because the fast chain breaks and that he can break his own chains are his main issues/makes his power less rewarding

    His box in its current state is fine though. I like the passive slowdown.

    The only wish I have: Give survivors the option to give other survivors the information that you go for the box. It feels unfair that SWF have a better match up against him than SoloQ due to missing communication. Otherwise, the spawn logic needs a rework because decent/good Pinheads with the right perks are really good at finding the Box constantly and this feels rather bad. Sure, it shows good skills but this feels wrong. Buff his chains more and make this his skillful part and leave the Box as its own pressure tool.

    Maybe they number tweak buff her where you get less m/s decrease during the charge up of her power and her base infection rate is increased by 20% for green puke.

    i can't really see them changing very much for her because she's already very good number speaking from killer perceptive.

    You just summarized why Pinhead is the second killer I almost never play as.
    On top of it, I don't think there is a killer, who punished for missing power in long distance more, than Pinhead.
