Can a dev tell me if there is currently a Leatherface buff/rework happening or upcoming?

I obviously don't mean specifics but just something, ANYTHING. Even just SoonTM would warm this cold Bubba mains heart.

I mainly ask because I know you guys are hard at work on Freddy, which is great, and you have done changes to Wraith, Hag and Trapper, also great. I think most of the community would agree that after Freddy, Leatherface should be looked at.

Thanks in advance!

    I believe they said no a few streams back . It was one with Q&A with 3 of them. They may however go back and look at his stuff after all these others have been adjusted. It would only make sense.

    After they are done with Freddy, daddy Bubba is next in line

    I'm not 100% sure but i believe it was a Q&A question and Horvath or McClean said no.

    I believe it is a QnA on Thursday, so I dunno maybe they will mention LF in some capacity.

    That would be good after freddy who needs to be re-visited. Myers Perks are garbage, The Pig needs her traps and boxes adjusted, before the go around again with the killers they need to look at them.

    Keep in mind they said they wouldn’t decrease the spirit’s ability regen cooldown. But they did anyways.

    The only way to play him to win is use insidious and camp in the basement with good addons. That's why I don't touch him unless I have a daily.

    This is false. He is bad though.

    Hell, even if they just said that after Freddy they will look at LF next, that would be the answer I am looking for

    Well consoles got wrecked in June with 2.0 patch they are planning to fix them in December. Freddy has been talked about getting buffed since before Wraith and we just got Wraith done. We have no eta on Freddy in fact they seemed to be still crowd sourcing ideas for him. If anything maybe spring for LF if that..

    I believe this would fix a lot of bubba’s shortcomings. And every killer’s shortcomings for that matter. https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/16907/injured-state#latest

    Does he need a buff/rework? I think he is fine as is :blush:

    He is disastrously bad at high rank.

    Lacks any kind of map pressure
    His ability is extremely clunky and slow
    His add-ons are absolutely terrible to the point that his "best" add-on ( Award winning chilli ) literally doesn't do anything
    And no mind game potential

    I mean... I play him at rank 1 and think he is fine. Lot more mallet downs than chainsaw downs though. It certainly isn't as viable when survivors really know what they are doing.

    I just questioned myself on if I would play him without the perks he has and the answer to that would probably be no. His ability isn't too useful considering the survivors I play against, so perhaps he does need some amount of tweaking. At the moment he is lvl 36 and has Frankies III and BBQ III. He is the only killer I have that has these perks at T III so that's why I play him over other killers.

    @IronWolf115 Thank you, my eyes were open but I was not seeing :blush:

    Well 32 days ago, on reddit, McLean said in regard to the chili addons, “They work fine, but the acceleration is such a subtle effect you'd really need to know what you were looking for. Regardless, they don't do what people expect them to do, and they're slated to be revisited when we spend some time on Leatherface.”

    The devs said in one of their livestreams that not every killer is supposed to be strong vs high ranks.... Which is a shame but oh well

    Well they said, that they plan to bring each killer's AddOns towards the 4C-5UC-5R-4VR-2UR system like recent killer have. So one day they will do a complete AddOn rework on him probably together with Hillbilly.Hopefully differentiate the two better from each other.
    But hard to say when they will do that. I mean they aren't the only Killers, which AddOns need to be revisit (Huntress, Doc or Nurse). And other stuff like the Freddy or Perk reworks.
