Just for fun who in your opinion would you class as the better killer of these two and why?

And which one of them in your opinion is most fun to play?

    I am playing Bubba a lot actually. He is super fun for me. Clown on the other hand is kinda weak imo and boring to play.

    There is no room for an opinion. Bubba is quite good with Nemesis and Play with your Food. He also punishes bad Survivors that are out-positioned and if you have Beastmarks, you can even mindgame palletdrops. If they drop it, you saw it instantly and you're right up their ass again or they don't drop it you saw them thanks to the speed of the addon.

    Clown on the other has no power. If fact, it hurts him, because it makes people play save and drop the pallet early - leaving no room for potential mindgame hits. He also lacks the lethality and overall map presence to punish players for going through pallets quickly. Out of all the Killers, he need a rework the most.

    Bubba is better due to one shot potential. A good Bubba knows his limits while knowing when and where to chainsaw. While having a good build on Bubba helps cover his weaknesses as well. A person who knows which addons to use is equally terrifying. Strong Camping potential overall both in and out of basement.

    Clown is good too, but only in the hands of a skilled player. His power is just a gimmick. While inherently powerful it needs certain addons to excel. Clown has a few tricks up his sleeve like long distance bottles for gen detection.

    Overall I feel Bubba wins, but just because these 2 killers are called the worst ones does not mean they are unviable and should be written off. Either of these killers in the hands of a skilled person can and will have the potential to dominate a match.

    Bubba because he has an insta-down ability. Clown's ability only helps him get m1's, and sucks at even doing that.

    Bubba can actually be quite deadly with Nemesis and Play With Your Food.

    Clown is straight up trash.

    Ok thanks for you input 😀 So Bubba seems to win this one but they both are always in the bottom when people are ranking all killers.

    Me I like both killers very much, they are both fun to play.

    The better one idk I can reach rank 5 with either but not red ranks so I think to me they are pretty equal. But I have played Clown more than Bubba. Some perks make Bubba stronger perhaps but Clown in my book has better addons.

    One of Clown's major problems is the slowdown he receives after a he throws a bottle. This slowdown nearly completely negates the slowdown he applies to the survivors making his bottles pointless to use outside of a loop or attempting to carol survivors in a different direction. His strength currently is also rather useless atm, which is ending loops quickly. His main issue here is that he ends the loop quickly, but once a pallet it thrown he is forced to break the pallet as their is nothing else he can do at that point. With the number of pallets on each map survivors have plenty to spare in most cases to at least get a gen or 2 done before you get a first hit (if the survivors are smart)

    Bubba on the other hand is extremely weak at most loops, especially if windows are involved. However Bubba's main strength is that he can punish survivors extremely hard for their mistakes. He synergizes well with certain perks due to his instadown, and usually demands a little more respect from survivors when it comes to loops which has a similar effect as the clowns whole power.

    Niether of these killers are good at mindgaming due to their size.

    Bubba can mow down multiple bodies while clown have to hit them one by one. Only time it rough for bubba is the penalty he receive due to the clunky physic of his chainsaw hitting an object. Clown get slow down by reloading. Both of them need something but atm clown need help in buffs more than bubba.

    Idk. Both of them tend to camp because they can't fulfill their duty of killer.

    I like them both thb, both have satisfying moments.

    Currently only my bubba is "done", clown is nowhere near done (not even P1 yet) so right now Bubba is more fun to me

    Its interesting how much of polar opposites both are.

    • Clown deals with loops beter. LF is weak in this regard.
    • LF benefits more from Survivor mistakes, but Clown can more or less force them better.
    • Clown is bad in open maps and is better in tight quarters, LF suffers in indoor maps (due to the amount of vaults) and its game over in open areas.

    Leaving bugs aside (since both have their fair bit of them), Clown has more potential.

    Depends on perks and add-ons. They're both extremely weak killer but LF is a little stronger if it had a spirit fury + play with food combo

    Fun is very subjective. Some people enjoy a challenge and don't mind when it doesn't work out. Other people prefer "easy-mode", no nonsense abilites and mind games. When survivor is close enough, they're dead, end of list.


    Bubba is easy-mode. Run up survivors ass and turn on chainsaw.

    Clown is a challenge. Aiming, hitting and using subsequent effects of the cloud to your advantage.
