I’m excited and nervous about “we’re not done with Clown yet.”
At least the word “rework” wasn’t used.
But I do feel the same apprehension as when they first announced the Freddy rework. Yeah, ok I’m happy with the Freddy rework, but I miss playing old Freddy A LOT.
I honestly don’t feel like Clown needs many changes. He’s just simply under appreciated and underrated.
Any dramatic changes to how his core power will work will just totally piss me off.
But i’m remaining cautiously optimistic for now.

I would be excited honestly.
They seem to really care about the clown.
Started with a small but really really great buff for him.Then took their time to monitor his performance to decide whether that buff was enough for him or not.
Seems like they aren't happy with the clown yet and probably continue with some tweaks to make him better but not too strong.

I disagree, I think they need to buff the reload mechanic somehow.
Then Clown will be perfect

Clown now reloads 0.02 seconds faster. We did it, now his reload isn't long and he could actually be Over Powered.

They cant really do much to make him any worse.
they can call him "underrated" as much as they like, hes still the worst killer in the game, literal Hold W killer and power that gets countered by dropping pallets

"Were not done with clown yet.."sounds like he's gonna get a beatdown. 😦

He's outclassed by deathslinger in every way when you look at it, besides clown being 5% faster. His bottles need to be more effective, his reload slowdown needs to be adjusted, or he needs a secondary ability. I miss old Freddy as well though :(

I meant movement speed specifically

"We're not done with Clown yet!"

"We're now done with Clown!"

Honestly, you've just described half the cast.

He is very fun, but without a doubt you can't really win unless the survivors make a mistake or your running a strong build on him(when I mean win I mean at least a minimum of 2 kills). Though that is probably just my skill level when I play clown, but I am hoping he would get some extra benefits such as moving faster when he is in his gas or adding an oblivious status effect to his bottles. I know he has hindered already but I am just throwing in ideas. I myself am also hoping this would be postive or something that I can't complain about.

I feel you brother. There's a lot of people who think Clown's only salvation is a ground-up rework; but he's just so damn fun I don't want them to do that. On the plus side they said that no major rework (major as in Freddy/Doc levels) was coming this year, so I'm fairly confident that they'll buff him in some way without reworking him completely.

I’d actually be ok with a RHPF nerf. I don’t think he really needs it. I hardly use it.

That’s a relief.

Slept on btw.
Tbf, He's going to be hard to tune with what his power does. A lot of people dont like his slowdown and blur, even if its not particularly good.
0 -
Yeah im hoping its more in the spirit of doc/bubba and less of a freddy rework.
Keeping his core gameplay the same but making him much better bc i enjoy his gameplay
0 -
I wouldn't worry too much. Old freddy was hard countering stealth with his perma wallhacks and invisibilty + his RNG based opressive stall. He just didn't have a simple way to make him more in line so he needed full rework.
Clown just needs buffs in a few aspects to make him slightly more competetive, not a full rework by a longshot.

How would you feel if the devs merely buffed his bottles by making it so survivors affected by the gas suffered from the slowdown AND heard some sort of distorted circus music while seeing all kinds of colors making it more difficult to evaluate where exactly the Clown is during the chase?
0 -
More blur and more sound distortion (or music) would be great.
0 -
Just give the man a little bit more mobility so he could put pressure on generators better and he will be a happy little God
0 -
He doesn’t need more mobility. Used correctly he denies a great deal of survivor mobility.
1 -
He's going to get a overheat mechanic.
1 -
It is a problem add-on, I've never seen an argument that convinces me it's okay... But stopping there? I mean, it sounds like a BHVR thing to do
0 -
A killer very good at 1v1 and shutting down loops should not have mobility.
0 -
Exactly. He can already end chases ridiculously fast (when you know what you’re doing). Increasing his mobility for the sake of map presence will just make his 1v1 even MORE oppressive.
0 -
"We're not done nerfing him yet" is what they meant probably
Remember they say clown is underrated. They probably think he's most op killer in this game, and needs nurse treatment lol
/s

Yes, very much! I think he's in a good spot after they completely removed his cooldown. Even that was questionable.
0 -
How was it questionable? Before his cooldown, he was slowed so much, that he basically didn't have a power.
1 -
I hope he gets his own carnival map.
1 -
I think clown is both one of the most boring killers to play as and against. I really wish there was more to his power
THIS he kind of does but they combined it with a ######### church, those should be 2 separate maps. Hopefully they can do something with it when they update the map
1 -
So you think his gas is not a power? Survivors go way out of their way to avoid it.
1 -
His gas is only good for slowdown, and the clown slowed down so much before his buff, that he basically didn't get any distance.
0 -
If a Clown was correctly setting up gas ahead of survivors (or in front of their path), the slow down during his cool down was a complete non issue.
