Nerf Billy or Buff Leatherface?

What you guys think?

    Both. I'd say Leatherface needs a change in function, since one-hits are so powerful and Hillbilly has no penalty to his, whereas LF is screwed, but he gets relegated to camping because of the way his works.

    Billy is fine, has been fine for a very long time.

    Leatherface I'm on the fence about. I know he's weak, but I'm loath to suggest a buff for him because his defense is so strong.

    Billy is fine, leatherface is a weaker hillbilly.

    Buff Leatherface. We shouldn't have to nerf the strong Killers, we should have to buff the weaker ones. Nerfing the strong Killers will only end up making more unviable Killers.

    Buff leather face 
    and leave Billy alone he can only move in one line unless he has add ons that will allow him to steer more smoothly. It is really fun playing against him.

    Buff Leatherface. He needs it for sure

    Billy is one of the most balanced killers imo.

    Buff both!

    LF needs his rev slow down to be removed.

    And both need the timelimits from their add ons be removed.

    Billy does not need to be touched, he is currently the only Killer that does not feel useless or broken, leave him be.
    LF...yeah, Bubba is needing a buff, maybe even a rework to give him more options than camping.

    Buff Leatherface.

    I’d say Leatherface should get some kind of buff, maybe his frenzy time is reduced or something like that. But I don’t see why Billy should be nerfed, but the could nerf his Add-ons that make his chainsaw almost instant.

    Buff Leatherface, nerf Billy imo. He just doesn't have any downsides to him. Speed boost and a one shot kill seems like a bit much to me, especially since most other killers have to sacrifice something to get that kind of power (Myers). He just has pretty much no downsides, and I think he should have some

    Both, I'd like to see billy have some sort of cooldown on his chainsaw just a few seconds just to bring him in line. Leatherface legit has mobility problems, I think players need to get speed oriented perks for him (play with your food, noed) I think Rancor would help him out since it's an all in one perk.

    Not all killers will be as viable. Buff leather how, his power is straightforward. Just needs ultra rares.

    Also, billy isn't bad, leather has easier time downing peeps due to aoe, Billy has better map pressure and weird chainsaw hit box.

    Don’t think that is possible. You won’t see Wraith and Freddy on the same preformance level as Billy and Nurse. You have viable killers like Myers, Huntress, and Clown but they just don’t have as much map pressure nor will they be on the same level as the top two killers.

    Apropos map pressure … have played against a Freddy with Class Photo? That's applying tons of pressure on the team. But it is a purple add on and you can't play it all the time. :P

    The reason Freddy has no map pressure is the same reason why Leatherface and Myers with Dying Light get a 1K...they are natural campers and tunnelers. Now don’t get me wrong...there is nothing wrong with a little camping or tunneling but with Freddy’s perks it makes him ONLY go after the obsession trying to get those 6 Remember Me tokens. I’ve rarely seen good Freddy players for this reason alome which also makes Freddy kind of boring to play against.

    Freddy and Wraith’s power do not help them in a chase which makes them extremely weak in chases, but they are excel in tracking survivors. Freddy is your average M1 killer but even weaker with little map pressure. Wraith is only a step above that.

    Yes I know that not all Freddy players tunnel the obsession, it’s just what I’ve experienced and one of the reasons why I’ve seen Freddy do so bad in rounds

    erm… with Class Photo you do not start hurting anyone before you have all asleep. Ok, after that, Freddy is forced to tunnel, because he can't leave an injured survivor alone, since they would use Self Care to wake up. And I hardly ever use Remember Me, so I can't say much about that.^^

    Leatherface needs slight adjustments, he doesn’t need any BIG overall buffs but a few quality of life changes. One I can tell you is that he could be given a smaller terror radius similar to the Huntress.

    I’ve actually run into more Leatherfaces at high ranks than a lot of “top tier killers”. He isn’t the most viable but it is still possible to get a 4K.

    I think the timelimit on the chainsaw add ons are crap.
    Before they got nerfed, they had been without limit.
    Got hit by the saw = repairspeed debuff for the rest of the game.

    Rest of the game is much, but probably give it a long timer

    Purple add on gives a repairspeed debuff for 120 seconds.
    Hey that guy has been hit by a saw… so he is most likely down., carried and hooked.
    And after the unhook he needs to get to a safe place and get healed.
    By the time he goes back on a gen, the debuff is most likely already expired.
