Played the update loving it so far!

I'm pretty certain this is sarcastic, but if in the small chance it isn't, then Clown definitely is NOT top tier xD

Ok. The UI and movement is your opinion, you are entitled to your own opinion, so I won't argue with that. However, saying that clown is now top tier is simply untrue. Clown has been changed so minimally that I don't see how he has moved up at all. Yes, the shortened reload is nice but that certainly doesn't bump him up a tier by himself. So I assume you are saying that his Yellow bottles have bumped him up a tier.

Here are the statistics for the Antidote:

• You gain a 10% movement speed increase for 5 seconds
• After the bottle lands, it takes 2.5 seconds to begin giving off this effect
• Bottle is thrown in the same way as normal Afterpiece tonic

That's literally it. That's all that has been changed, aside from 2 seconds less of reload time. There are basically only two uses of this bottle, which are in chase and map pressure. I can tell you that from a few games of clown, these bottles do almost nothing for map pressure. You have to throw them far enough that you already have covered a large distance before you get the effect. Not only that, but some simple math can let you know exactly how much distance you are gaining, so let's take a look at that.

10% faster for 5 seconds. 10% is referring to 10% of survivor movement, which is 4 meters per second. 10% of 4 is 0.4. Therefore every second you gain an extra 0.4 meters, so multiply that by 5 and you get 2 meters. This also means that given that you are 5.0 m/s while affected by the anitdote, you are saving less than half a second of you time by using one of these bottles for map pressure. 2 meters of extra distance does not warrant the use of one of your bottles, even with the increased reload speed it just isn't worth your time. So Clown's map pressure if basically the same as it was before.

Now in chase, this little half a second or 2 meters that I just discussed can be beneficial, because these small distances matter much more. It may be the difference between getting or hit or getting stunned by a pallet. But this doesn't really happen. I played 5-6 games of Clown yesterday, and I just couldn't see any reason to use the antidote in chase. This is because any opportunity you have to use the antidote, it is more effective to use your normal afterpiece tonic. This is not only because it slows the survivor by 15% (5% more than the speed increase), but also because the antidote takes 2.5 seconds to release, meaning not only is it time consuming, but if the survivor takes different pathing in a loop, you may not even have time to get your speed boost.

Overall, I don't see how the Antidote Tonic is in helpful in any way, I genuinely believe that you will be better off just playing clown without the new bottles. At least the extra reload speed is nice, and now we have confetti bottles :)
