    I think the clown is fine as he is. And you can sometime dodge his tonics.

    Yes i agree with you, i feel like his speed should be nerfed abit and if killers start complaing give him one more bottle

    ive tried many times to  escape a chase with the clown but he is too fast to do so

    He is meant to counter looping. Any movement nerfs to him would really damage him in this respect.

    So have you faced a clown? Do you know how fast he can catch up to you? even without his atonics? I kinda know how to juke the clown bits it's only temporary.
    ps. Ochido posted a video of him going against the clown and it showed  how hard it was to survive the clown

    You, children, are very susceptible influence. You want to be like your idols, you try to be like them, the cancers. You try to be toxic like them, you try to bully people, like them. When you grow up, and stop being bi-curious, go back here and apologise, as you, ochikids, like to say, PLEB DUUUUUUD.

    First of all I like his videos but im not a toxic survivor and so he cant say pleb and duuud because he got a good juke on the killer? and still not anwsering my questions

    Yeah, and I have an aero plane in my garage, would you believe it? R13 must be very hard, especially hard when it is new R18, right? You do not know nothing about the game, and you are a fanboy of the most toxic ######### on twitch, you are not better than him, and therefore a whining survboi. Thank you.

    Do you think I give a ######### about your friends? You are hiding behind them as if hitting R1 was very difficult on survivor. "YEA, BUT MY FRIEND IS A MILLIONAIRE, SO I KNOW HOW IS IT LIKE TO BE RICH, HAHA" - no, you do not. You still don't know how the game works, you are still biased, you still don't play killers at all. Go hit R1 with killer, and you will be back here asking for forgiveness.

    Alright, so to answer your question yes i have faced many clowns and yes i do know how fast he can catch up to you considering i got to rank 1 with him, so i think i know a thing or two about him. That being said, i know its clear that he has a lot of flaws with his strengths, when facing capable survivors who knew how to play against him, i found they were able to "bait" bottle throws and run off instead of sticking with the first loop they came across. Forcing me to refill my bottle supply, slowing me down. Without his toxins he is a regular M1 killer who is able to be looped etc. until he refills (when he does this then run away, don't stay at the loop). So yeah, as i said previously, he is a balanced killer as when you know how to play against him, it is relatively simple to out-play him, especialy with some of the clutch survivor perks. Have you ever played the clown? :). but thats my perspective on it

    If you think a whining survivor like you know something about this game, then you are wrong. In every competitive game you need an experience to know the balance, flaws in the game etc. But here comes little you, whining about things you do not understand and playing a smart kid. Grow a pair.

    Im not disagreeing that he is a strong killer btw, it will just take time to know how to effectively counter him, and when you do, it'll be fine. I don't think he needs a nerf.

    ,,,,,,,,,,, - take it, and use it. Do not spend it on whores, or candies.

    You do not have experience, therefeore you should gain it, instead of bitching on the forum. Go away, grow up, realise that your life does not matter, try to find a job, end working on a cash register in supermarket, then end with yourself.

    When I said ochido is no good, then you starded chimping and screaming "REEEEEEE", so knowing your type I knew what to expect from you, I even told the facts about you, and you could not deny them. You are a typical of many of ochido fans, nothing will get to you, you are brainless. Sorry to say that. But hey, you are a kid, maybe you will (and I hope you will) grow up and realise you were just embarassing yourself blindlessly defending an ochicunt. No offense, but you need to grow.

    We can't escape the clown, oh my god! Well, stop mindlessly looping, I escape clowns or have a long chase with clowns. Act like it's a real killer like the nurse, cant pallet loop a real killer in real life. Learn how to create circuits and not just loop.

    First the clow go as fast as every single normal killer like the trapper

    Second it wouldn't be a guaranty hit or down if you weren't running in a circle.

    How about you learn to use Line of sight breaker instead of looping?

    1. Clown moves at normal 115%, he just appears to be fast cause we walks while chasing.

    2. Rank 11 isnt that difficult to reach, especially since you cant depip depip or derank till 15.

    3. Ochido is cancer that smurfs low ranks and can only play SWF.

    4. Git gud and dont loop Clown.

    He's designed to be a better, easier to play Huntress. He isn't affected by a single one of her negatives, and the only thing she has is double the range.

    He moves faster, has full lunge, a smaller warning that he's coming (no lullaby), his power is just as strong at pallets--and actually shuts out LoS jukes--he can reload on the move with a marginal slowdown, his restock is a few seconds that doesn't require him to go anywhere specific and disrupt his perspective, and lastly he can spam nonstop. Juking him is virtually impossible due to no speed penalties, and you scream automatically if you enter a cloud.

    Seriously, he's a better Huntress. You can juke hatchets in the open and even in tighter spaces if you're lucky, but you can't juke the MEGACLOUD that comes from his poisons, and the slowdown is insane.

    Yes I did and he is supposed to be good.
    You Probably don’t get the Meaning of an ASYMMETRICAL GAME and The BALANE OF AN ASYMMETRICAL GAME because there is the powerhouse(Killer) and the four less powerful side (survivors)
    the less powerful side needs to work together in order to get their Goal.
    and if it’s so hard for you to believe that you are flawless and the killer got close to you anyways then your another Ochido Idiot who btw is a mediocre at best player who even got banned and still makes Videos with his stupid Thumbnails and his extremely toxic bEHAVIOR.
    If you think that getting hooked is not Part of Being a Survivor then you must think that Death isn’t a Part of Life

    Clown is so weak, nobody already plays him anymore. Do you want to nerf him even further? Like a freddy 2.0?

    Guess you only wanna play vs nurse, sometimes I rlly wonder.....

    I just recently learned this myself about a month ago but if you stop running and just walk a bit the killer loses you. As long as you are running the killer is able to track you from the scratch marks that you leave behind. Only do this if you feel like you have a good distance from the killer.

    Please do not touch The Clown he is balanced, good survivors can counter him - complaining everytime a new killer is released is not helping the game to improve. There are strategies which you can implement to make The Clown ineffective, without his Afterpiece Tonic primed he is a tier 2 killer at best, but in no way am I saying he is terrible, in the right hands he is a potent killer... coming from a now Clown main ;D

    Just keep playing against him you will see how to counter him soon enough. Practise makes perfect!
