When will you buff Deathslinger and fix the chain bug?

I'm a Deathslinger main and he just feels weak against decent survivors his aiming time feels slow, his speed when he's in chase feels slow and his terror radius is ridiculous so if you could please make his aiming time slightly faster, make his speed to 4.5 or make his terror radius 24 meters again and lastly fix the bug where when you get a successful hit with your power it just doesn't connect and leads to huge losses. Pls fix this and thank you

    Difference between 4.4 and 4.6 killers is 1.5s over 126m of path traveled. He got instascope and they addressed it to give him some skill ceilling. He got 24m TR and everyone used monitor and abuse on him so you got shot before even hearing tr, they increased it because he's only range killer that doesn't have lullaby. The overall Deathslinger weakness is his mobility (same like Pyramid head, Pig, Myers etc.) those killers will always be weaker when all newer killers have both great map mobility and strong antiloop.

    Yeah, it did quite the opposite. Do you know what was/is easier than hitting with instascope? Faking…
    Well and with slow ADS, you have to fake to find out how survivor will react and if they keep dodging, just do that. It's most boring way to play him and they made it mandatory to do it.


    And from ranged killers Trickster is now 115% killer, no? So I fail to see the issue with giving it to Deathslinger, his range is limited... I think that's easiest and safest way to address it. I really don't want any major changes for him.

    I'm sure they are about to revert and rework Trickster next year. As I said, 4.4 and 4.6 is truly not the problem as long as you don't walk aiming all the time. Faking was always part of game on most killers. As I said deathslinger will never be any close to top tier simple for his simple design, so the Trapper, Pig, Myers etc. All killers added to the game in last years have strong antiloop, map mobility and sometimes even more. It's hard to compete between old and new killers.
