Don't nerf nurse yet & clown appreciation

Devs,

Do NOT even think about nerfing the gem of the killer roster until you make many of the other killers red rank viable. They don't have to be as strong as nurse but make them better. We all know the issues... I guarantee if you nerf nurse anytime soon, you'll be losing lots of competitive killer mains.

Also, I want to take a minute to appreciate gassy boi. When he first came out, I was stupid and just immediately concluded that he was bad. But over time, I realized I was wrong. Sure, he's not top tier but he's definitely in top 6 in my opinion. Can we get another killer who has an ability to deal with loops? Clown can still get bullied if you're versing an swf with full meta and items but from my experience, I generally do well with him, even at red ranks. Him and huntress are my go to's when I'm sick of playing nurse lol.

    Nurse herself doesn't need a nerf but her add-ons definitely needs a re-imagining. We'd see less Nurses (more variety overall) if the maps were better designed for low tier killers as players would be willing to experiment more.

    As for Clown.. I wish he was better and that comes from someone who plays mostly him at the moment. He just.. lacks too much. No pressure whatsoever. Unless you're running against a group who's into bullying and looping you over doing generators in general, you're not gonna end up with many kills.

    He lacks map pressure but most killers do. The thing I love about him is he stops loops very well. You just have to throw the bottles in the right area and you will usually catch up before they get to the pallet (sometimes you'll barely make it). His bottles are easy to use and do not require much as much accuracy as huntress. I think he is pretty good to be honest.

    I don't disagree with that. Clown's strong around most loops but that's it. He cannot down them as fast as he should be doing in order to generate enough map pressure to be threatening.

    He's the most likable character of all killers. Used to be a big favourite of mine... but horribly vulnerable to genrush. A typical example of a killer who wins if survivors are dumb and inevitably loses if they know what they're doing.

    Those bottles need a buff. (No, not addon tweaks.) I'd suggest a complete blindness effect by default :)

    An add on that makes the gas last longer (a minute or so) as it would be nice if he could somewhat preemptively block a loop before the chase. Force survivors into running to unsafe areas.

    I really like his laugh... it feels like hes mocking the survivor everytime, instead of just enjoying himself.

    But I disagree, the most likeable is wraith. Who doesn't love playing mr bing bong?
