Bubba's chainsaw should have a overheat mechanic.
So he can't just hold it ready on someone on the hook and it is impossible to save. As he holds the charge it eventually stops and there is a period of time he simply cannot use it. Not sure how this is not a thing with how his power is. This only time his power is in issue is when hes guarding the basement or a hook and no one likes him for it and its his iconic douche thing he does.

You do realize you are asking for one of the worst killers in the game to be nerfed?

Bubba chainsaw is very weak compared to billy chainsaw, you can literally loop a leatherface the entire match if you are good enough and he have 0 map control. I don't see any reason to nerf his power.
If you are being camped you can still be saved with BT. If you are in the basement.. well bad luck. Try not to get downed there.

I am asking for a power that is made for face camping to have a limit on how long he can hold that charge at one time. It would not affect his normal gameplay at all you completely missed the point of my original post.
5 -
Same goes for you, my suggestion would not affect his normal gameplay at all. I am very aware of how weak he is but I am talking about the times he does have someone and can face camp without a chance at rescue. You cannot get a BT save against a camping bubba.

Well that’s just a bad idea lol I’m not trying to be mean but your asking for the weakest killer in the game to be nerfed..I’m assuming you also have buff ideas since you wanna nerf his chainsaw? Or are you just wanting to nerf him making him even weaker then he already is

No, you are missing the point of Bubba. His one, and only real strength, is that he can guard hooks extremely well. Trying to change that shows that you don't understand his current, and sad, state of balance.
Even if your absurd change were to go through, bubba's would just sit next to the hook and start rev'ing when someone tries to go for the save. Adding an overheat mechanic wouldn't change anything.

Tell me how making it so he cannot infinitely hold his chainsaw ready to attack a real game changing nerf outside of stopping camping? When a bubba is going to saw your before your on a hook he gets up on you charges and immediately releases to down you he normally would never hold it down for long periods of time. I feel like you guys are trolling.

Imagine thinking camping is his intended strength.
3 -
That is literally all he is good at!
Tell me then, what are his other "strengths"?

If multiple survivors attempted a save there would be a chance to get the save. Any killer can linger around a hook and stop 1 survivor from saving another or at least it's going to be a hook swap

Insta down with a lower skill ceiling than billy and the ability to down multiple survivors.

Sadly that's the only thing hes good at. His power is based around camping specially in the basement with insidious. He should have a completely different power if you want him to be nerfed with a cooldown because that ruins his only strengh.

Pfffttt
He can insta-down people, if they aren't anyway near a decent loop and have no pallets.
As for the multi-down... guess where the best opportunity to utilize that is? While camping a hook.
7 -
No.
2 -
I agree with this statement.
2 -
What make it different though? He can still stand in front of the hooked person, looking around for saviours. If he confirmed the saviour not faking a save, he charges up and boom, still down both of them.

Ffs can we close this useless thread ? Poor bubba is good only for meneing hra absolútny useless and outdated and need completely rework and tons od buff so please be quiet..and wake up..

Bubba can be stronger than people realize, but his kit is very weak. Limiting that more is not only a waste of time, but just not necessary.
A survivor can outrun his chainsaw if he doesnt charge it right behind him, windows are a major weakness of his, and even brushing against a wall is enough to make him tantrum... he doesn't need an overheat mechanic anyway.

This is not a conversation about him maybe downing a survivor or how he can or how easily you can dodge a chainsaw. So many of you are way off the topic.
0 -
Can you blame them? Your topic revolves around nerfing Bubba. The fact that you don't realise how insane that is means that people really don't have to take your idea seriously.

Or stop asking for nerfs for garbage killers and git gud!

The killer is so stale, he needs to be reworked!
1 -
I like this idea but as someone else said, he would need some buffs in return, something that makes him better in regular gameplay.

Leatherface is the worst killer when it comes to chases and map pressure but there is one thing he does excell at and that's camping. When a leatherface camps there is literally no "winning" for survivors. If they try to save they all get downed in which case they all get sacrificed and depip. If they just do gens and leave they still depip and get few bp. This is why leatherface is such an annoying killer for survivors. Not that he's strong but that his power is only good for camping and that's what most people use him for.
His power should be reworked. Not nerfed necessarily, but changed completely like Freddy was.

Cannibal is really strong in the right hands. It is just unfortunate that everyone thinks he's designed to face camp every person he hooks.
1 -
Lol, asking to nerf the worst or 2nd worst killer in the game.
1 -
This comment makes no sense that would be saying hag cant place traps near someone thats hooked
bubba and hag are defensive killers they can protect hooks very well their not like billy nurse spirit who rely on aggressive gameplay

Okay insidious hillbilly then you solve nothing for basement camping yet ruin bubbas basekit.
0 -
Don't know how multiple survivors is an argument to your nerf suggestion. Multiple survivors can still save someone, just one needs to stay hidden, another needs to take the down. The hidden one then needs to BT save while the chainsaw is on cooldown.
Btw, I even saw BT saves by an injured survivor giving himself styptic before and both get out of the basement. Sure, you need that rare addon to make such a play and that time I saw it, the saver needed to bait a hit because he was healthy before the save. But that was legendary play and would also be removed with your nerf.
And to add: his chainsaw is loud. You don't need Kinderd to tell everybody "pls go do gens to punish it"

Leave Bubba alone! He is very good at facecamping/camping but weak in all other areas, so this is a very bad idea.
0 -
Never camped as Bubba, but if they nerf him, I will.
3 -
that would literally change nothing XD you would just have to start charging it when they get near you and even if you start unhooking the survivor before he notices there is still enough time for him to fully charge the saw and down you both.
0 -
yes, and please remove the ability to walk around from bubba... then hes just a floating skin XDD
youre funny, the only ability he has, the weakest killer ingame, and still wants a nerf XD

I can see why you suggest such a thing, but as long as Leatherface is in as poor a state as he is currently, I can't be in favor of anything that would make him weaker.
0 -
you ask for this nerf so you can be guaranteed to go in and save your buddies.
you are not entitled to everyone in your team surviving. do generators and let him die. you still win with 3 survivors.
0 -
So what if he just stands there instead? If he sees a survivor coming up he would just start charging his chainsaw, wouldn't he? By the time you rescued the hooked survivor he's got it fully charged and he's ready to down you... I don't think this change would affect the camping Bubba at all to be honest.

But that is directly related to how strong he is, and therefore, how he should be balanced. The only reason you might not want to acknowledge this is to prove your own argument for a mechanic that doesn't need to exist. Holding the chainsaw can be used to force a bad decision and having an overheat mechanic gets rid of the only mindgame potential of his power.
Bubba needs a rework, in all honesty, but limiting his normal kit is not the solution.
Besides, I forgot to add this, but @Deadeye has a point: If he continues to rev the saw, hes letting everyone know that he is in a chase or with a person. Everyone knows to work on gens then, since they are not in immediate danger.
If you would do it for Bubba, would you do it for Billy too, since he also has a chainsaw? Both rely on their chainsaws for their power, but billy is stronger just because he can also use his power to navigate the map at incredible speed.

His chainsaw should break whenever he face camp people.
0 -
uhm...
shouldnt we rather think of ways to buff him rather than nerfing the already weakest killer in this game?
0 -
Counter Idea: Overheating Bubba's chainsaw causes it to literally catch on fire. Burning survivors have their hook progress and bleedout speeds doubled, for maximum camping efficiency. That's right, we're doubling down on his camp potential. Think you can finish all the gens before this first guy dies on hook? Not anymore, gen-rushers.

hes already garbage lol

Well one person in here understand s at least what im trying to talk about 👍

You can creep over her trap and get a save with no issue. Hag is good at being everywhere and being unpredictable.

If Bubba's chainsaw is actually good maybe people would stop camping.

You have a point but they can't do this to Leatherface without giving him something in return. His chase is too weak. If they buff the hell out of him in other aspects then I'd be fine with losing his camping aspect.
