First, i’ll respectfully give him kudos for winning.
Secondly, it’s always hilarious when survivors DC against Clown.
But...
There weren’t any secret strategies going on here. Any killer currently can be carried by Ruin + Undying + Tinkerer. And interrupting survivor actions with direct bottle hits isn’t new.
He was also doing a few Clown “no no’s”. You don’t engage in a fresh chase with zero bottles. There were a few chases he would have ended quicker had he reloaded straight after a down or hook, even though those survivors would have initially put distance between them and Clown.
There were a few dodgy long throws he shouldn’t have bothered with, and loops he should have thrown bottles at the ceiling for more coverage rather than the floor or wall.
I will give some credit, he certainly performed much better than most Clowns I’ve seen stream, and definitely knows more about what he’s doing than most others, rather than spam bottles at a survivor all the time.

yeah i guess so i mainly just saw the title and then watched his video, thought he did some really good plays

He definitely mostly has the right idea of WHERE to put gas at loops: where the survivor needs to run to reach a pallet or vault.
Clown is so much better than most give credit. And he definitely doesn’t need gen slow down. All Clown needs to understand to slaughter (most) survivors is how THEY need to run each loop optimally, and then Clown knows exactly where to put gas to ensure the survivor can’t possibly escape a hit before vaulting or dropping a pallet.

Yup he's mostly a good player at the game who knows what hes doing and he mains Killer but he also plays survivor solo queue and sometimes SWF

I’m enjoying reading the critique in this thread more than the video 😆

I don't know what's so good about this video, but it's making me smile to the point where I'm excited that one day I will be leveling up all killers to get all perks on each of them. Oh, boy, how long THAT will take...

I agree. Clown is part of my core roster and he definately is underrated. In fact, he becomes really strong with good addons (pinky finger not included). To be played on a higher level he requires a good understanding of pathing and how the Survivor will behave on top of all the little tricks one can pull off with the bottles. Seems to be an unpopular opinion we share.

I don’t even bother with add ons a lot of the time (I haven’t been using add ons recently because I’m using Clown to farm points for other characters, so I don’t want to burn through my Clown stock).
My current build is Bamboozle, STBFL, Blood Echo, Mindbreaker (those 2 are because I’m not using Solvent Jug). I can’t wait for the new Mindbreaker to go live.

Interesting, I use Myers and Oni to farm points in that way (don´t think they need addons anyway).
With Clown it depends, usually brown, if the Survivors seem strong or I just want a relaxing game, I take out the good stuff.
Haven´t quite seen a build like yours, looks pretty unique! Maybe I´ll try it out soon.
My go-to Clown build is BBQ, Brutal, Surge, STBFL with BBQ just for the points basically.

I constantly experiment with builds, but pairing Blood Echo with Mindbreaker is a current fav, and will work even better if the devs leave the ditched 50% requirement in the PTB. I.e. I hope that still goes live.
Another one I like ATM is Overcharge, Dragons Grip, and MYC. Makes survivors paranoid touching gens or unhooking.

How come nobody mentioned that it's actually Fungoose playing there, one of the best / well known educational DbD Streamers out there, not some random player.

I genuinely didn’t know. I’ve never watched him before.

Clickbait video title, but entertaining footage.
