No new killer buffs in mid patch?

They might not even have to do all that much considering how much theyre improving alaround gameplay like adjusting building and windows. maps are getting better for killer and vaults are changing too. to me that's a big thing and I don't know why people aren't talking about that.

I don't know if i'm the only one who's bothered by this, but i noticed that there wasn't any killer buffs in this patch; only perks, hook changes and such; i'm disappointed because i thought we where suppose to get a buff to freddy in this patch; but i guess not?

I wasn't expecting a Freddy buff this mid chapter. The devs had already mentioned before that they need more time for it. As far buffs for the killers are concerned, the healing time nerf is a buff for all the anti-heal killer perks. Thanatophobia, Dying Light, Coulrophobia, Sloppy Butcher are all insanely buffed now. It'll take upto 120 seconds to self care, if all these perks are used. 

No survivor with 2 working brain cells will self heal in the terror radius of the killer. So coulrophobia would never apply.

To be fair. It's a very theoretical scenario. And kinda a form of overkill to use all of those perks at once. It only shows how it makes these perks stronger.
And you are right Coulrophobia is very situational perk. But even if it makes survivors stop healing and reposition themselves, it still delays the heal a bit. And besides it useful in certain slugging/heal scenario, when they ned to finish a heal before you approach.

Maybe they'll add some more changes to the PTB before releasing it like they did with the Clown? I doubt this'll happen but that's the only way I can see Freddy getting a buff next update instead of waiting until the next chapter update.. 

they’re still trying to rework Freddy so I’d say it might be longer ,they’ve said in a stream they are totally wanting to rework his power to make it different from what it is now so Freddy may not even play the same as he used to even with his core ability and that takes time to get right.

The healing speed nerf is really, really impactful.
I played against some sloppy butcher killers in the ptb and i can tell you, that selfcaring is NOT worth it anymore. Its really a dilemma as survivor, beceause you will lose if you heal yourself for 40s (thats literally half a gen), but doing gens injured is super risky and throwable.

There's actually been some killers running Coulrophobia with Distressing and either Nurses and or Unnerving Presence which makes healing difficult.

If a killer is using 2 to 4 perks all centered around making healing difficult… guess what?
Healing should be difficult!!
Because he lost all his tools to pressure the gens, help in a chase, delay gens or help finding survivor.

The point is that killers are using different builds and doing well with said different builds and by that logic survivors shouldn't have to run 2-4 perk slots to counter killers etc.

First, let me just say that the thread title is patently wrong.

Indeed, Killers should have builds designed to counter one or more aspects of the Survivors' gameplay, and those builds should take up multiple perk slots. Builds are, after all, an "all-in" type thing. You can either be a jack-of-all-trades and be average at countering any one thing, or you can dive into countering one thing and that one thing will be nigh-impossible for the Survivors to do.
However, since this is an asymmetrical game, it should take more perk slots from each individual Survivor to counter any one Killer than it does for each Killer to counter any one aspect of the Survivors' gameplay.
