A compromise concerning deathslinger (not clickbait)
Alright, so so many of you think he's boring etc because you can't engage him in chases because of quickscoping etc.
Usually people call for a massive delay, akin to Huntress. This would very much make him unplayable, as he has a limited range, unlike Huntress.
Therefore, a compromise:
He gets a delay, including a little animation that has a crosshairs pop up on his gun before he can shoot.
Pro for survivors: more time to dodge side to side and be save from faking excessively, pro for killers: easier to aim, but not overwhelmingly easy.
That good?

Deathslinger is fully ok. He doesn't need any changes..

His gun already has sights.

Slinger already has a compromise. He has an insanely strong chase but very little map pressure.

I mean, I know, but look how many people claim he ain't.
@Zozzy I know, I meant a more visible one that pops up before he can shoot (it's absolutely unnecessary if people would learn how to play against him, but alas)
@ChantyBoi Yeah, but people are throwing tantrums over how it's his power in chase and insta-shots that make him 'broken and uncounterable and no fun to face'

yes he is not op, yes he does not need changes
but he could benefit a change with the devs toning down his chase potential and buffing his mobility and map pressure this would make him so much more fun to verse

he has the chase potential BECAUSE he has little map pressure and mobility. That's the thing, he IS one of the killers where you have to use your eyes. M&A doesn't change that.
People just cry bloody murder because too many of them run the second-chance build as if killers haven't caught on to it yet, which is quite pointless against Deathslinger. Sure, one can't tell which killer they'll go up against but just replace dead hard with spine chill and you're good.

yes he has this insane chase potential because of his lack of map pressure which is why people want his chase potential toned down and a buff to his map pressure

Unnecessarily.
He's not meant to be engaged in a chase. People just cling to the idea/outdated statement that chases are the most fun and most important part of the game.
The issue is more that the points you earn aren't as dynamic towards which killer you're facing as they should be. like, give people more 'bold' points against Caleb, but fewer 'escaped/chase' points.

interaction between players is the only thing keeping people playing this game long term so this mindset of "chase isnt that important" is just a lie and this applies to both sides, which is why slinger has such a high demand for a rework

You can run him around the rock for a minute because he has 110 speed. What a great chase potential. His power only good in open areas and unsafe loops with short walls. He can shot you when you run to the pallet but only when he is straight behind you. When you see 2 survivors in one place you can use your power only on 1 of them. While you using your harpoon then reloading your gun it is got so much time that second survivor unharmed already repairing a gen on another end of map. Good deatslinger mains can shot you through the hole in the wall but it require a ton of skill and luck. His power has pretty high skill cap and limits. Stop acting like he is chasing god.
He is already balanced by his weaknesses. So let us have a variation of killer that is slight better in chases sometimes but slow walking to prevent gens. Instead of making him equalized to the rest of killer pool.

Did you just try to say the only thing that isnt boring is outdated? My gosh people really do say some outlandish points to back up why deathslinger should have an oppressive chase.
