Clown buffs (buff). Why so stingy?

Sylorknag · June 2020

I really don't get the thought process behind this kind of decisions.

A couple of streams back they announced they would be making some changes to the Clown, which is, still, one of the worst killers in the game .

Now that the notes are out we get the confirmation that he is indeed getting only ONE single buff....

Anyone who's not a complete potato knows this is clearly not enough to making him remotely viable, thus my question, WHY DO STINGY?

Would it break the game to, idk, decrease his atrocious reload speed? Jesus, people aren't asking you to buff Billy, Nurse, or Huntress, who are already decent enough. People are asking you to buff THE WORST KILLER IN THE GAME,

and the best you guys come up with is a SINGLE BUFF?

Welp, at least Bubba is not alone at the bottom of the pack, I guess.

This was definitely a SH focused update. The fact anyone else even got changed (clown) is surprising tbh. Hopefully he'll get more love in the next mid-patch.

Let's hope, guess I had my expectations high cause of the stream.

This was just a small buff that was easy to implement. More changes will likely come later.

people underestimate the booze guy, imo

(and bubba too, nemesis pwyf bubba is an unstoppable power of nature)

nurse is by far the worst killer in the game. literally unplayable with current bugs

Yeah the clown needs more buffs, and Leatherface needs something, anything. Preferably not slowing him to a crawl while charging up the chainsaw would be great. That, and much better add-ons.

I already put Q&A about will clown still get more buff after remove slowdown

Let's us hope we'll get answer

"We have to wait and see how these changes affect him. But currently, no. We already see that he is doing better overall in matches. So we have no plans to change him further." - Response. Basically. Probably.

What bugs?

BattleCast · June 2020

It's a pretty major buff though, but more are likely to come when they have more time to look at Clown.

It's unbelievable to me that he can't mindgame vaults because he gives an audio cue when he vaults. 2 years later, and he is still the only M1 killer incapable of mindgaming vaults. This is such an obvious thing to change.

His reload got nerfed, he is now slowed down even when the reload bar is finished, you accelerate to normal speed after the reload animation finishes...
