    No, the Clown is not over powered. He is decent at best. His power can be mildly annoying but certainly not OP

    Not going to go into my rant about how Clown's 15% slow slows him down by 15% or how his hitbox is garbage.

    LoL, No killer is overpowered even the nurse can find a hard time with the total bugs and the bad maps in this game. I don't know why would anyone say a killer is overpowered. Only survivors are OP and that's it.

    People don't like playing against him because he's boring.

    Okay, listen I know that he's not OP. Look I just wanted to know why they disconnect every time they see him in the game...

    No, kinda weak actually

    He's mid at best with addons and low-ish without addons.
    What's his biggest weakness, you ask? Map pressure. He's good in chases but he cannot win them fast enough.

    He's fine, no weak, no OP

    Clown is a strong anti looper type of killer who trades map pressure for great chase potential which can make it frustrating to play against him if you are the survivor who gets chased and maybe tunneled but he's certainly not op. The general strength of a killer comes down to his/her potential to generate map pressure, tracking qualities and his/her chase potential. The clown can somewhat track with his bottles and is good at chasing but his overall overall map pressure is on the low side in my opinion.

    If the clow is so overpowered how come no one is playing him?

    That must be the 100th time I'm saying it, but I STILL haven't face a single clown since his release.

    Yeah Iridiscent Hatchets, infinite ew3, insta down clown bottles, 5 blinks, noed and rancor are not op ;) Killers ARE REALLY WEAK!...
    Only some killers are weak like freddy, pig (Not too much) and spirit (without addons)... All killers are not op only some of them, I think your a trolling acc on this forum..

    clown is far from being overpowered.
    he is good at chases, but that is it. he is easily avoidable, as he has the basic terror radius and basic movementspeed. this also really affects his, pretty much non existant, map pressure.
    clowns get genrushed fairly easy.

    id say he is a pretty balanced killer.

    The only reason clown is good is because he can completely counter Decisive Strike.

    Survivors who leave the match because of that/people justifying leaving are even more boring

    There's one clown on ps4 who is OP as hell. I love to face him.

    I have played against few Clowns. Interestingly though, I have seen more Clowns than Freddys in the past months. Most of the times, they never end up preventing generators to go off. I play games as him daily, he is my second favourite Killer to play as, as I find him so fun to play. His power is simple, but chases are always fun with him.

    He really isn't. Huntress got massive map pressure through her axes.

    As if you cant avoid it. 
    I really feel ease against slow killers since they re easier to juke( more time for making your next step)
