We know that Bubba is very fun and iconic but struggle a lot at downing someone due to many pallets and windows making him urging to have bamboozle all the time. Those changes would make him more threatening and climb up a few tiers.

  1. Tokens are removed, chainsaw will now last 16s basekit without needing to retap the button, chainsaw can be manually canceled.
  2. After breaking a pallet with chainsaw, Bubba keep sweeping until he cancels or deplete power gauge.
  3. While sweeping, his movement speed increase from 5m/s to 7m/s as he keeps sweeping.
  4. Tantrum will block every pallet or window for 16s.
  5. Tanrum duration decreased to 1.5s

    Bubba absolutely deserves Buffs, but that's not it.

    1. This change would probably make him better, but it would also affect his play style. People used to right click extending the chainsaw sweep would be thrown off by it suddenly doing the opposite.

    2. That would destroy half the counterplay against Bubba and absolutely make him an instant down machine. It would make pallets virtually worthless against bubba.

    3. That would be too fast imho. He should be buffed, but not to that extent. For context. Currently bubba sweeps at max 5.4 m/s. Meanwhile 7 m/s is comparable to Spirit's Phase Walk or Pigs Ambush.

    4. So you can get essentially 14.5 seconds of Blood Favour and Crowd Control for free at will? Yeah no that would be too strong.

    5. That seems like a reasonable change.
