What tier is Clown now?

He was never F tier. But this rework sucks, so in my opinion he's still a C tier.

His reload speed buff is more useful than his "rework" yellow bottles lol. Strength wise he's essentially the same because the yellow bottle's buff is so minimal it's almost useless.

I'm absolutely pissed off that the proposed change was actually the ONLY thing they did for Clown.

(Improved reload speed is just a number tweak, though it helps, I don't consider that a "real change" as it doesn't change anything significant about his kit, it just alleviates an issue that he had that reloading took too much time)

Because let's get real for a moment here, the yellow bottles have absolutely no real significant use or impact in a match. With the speed boost you only gain some 2.3 meters of distance overall, which is basically nothing, on top of having now sacrificed one of your bottles since both the yellow and purple share a pool. Sure, it's not like the Clown got any worse with this change since you don't have to use the yellow bottles, but Clown was and arguably still is in an awful place, he needed a sizable buff to address problems of a lack of map mobility, map control, and a general lack of map pressure. This change was not that sizable buff, sure the yellow gas has a purpose but the purpose is so minor that it may as well not even exist most of the time. It was a disappointing, pitiful change and that's it.

What really gets me riled up is that the devs are likely looking at the fancy new visuals Clown has for his bottles, the "Brand new mechanic" they introduced which is "sure to make him better!" and they're going to pat themselves on the back for a "job well done", and then they're going to ignore Clown for yet another year or two before finally they decide to take a whack at trying to make him a better killer again.

Clown is one of if not the most underdeveloped, under-appreciated original killer out of the entire roster. He's had so few changes of real significance made to him, it blows my mind that this killer has been so consistently poorly rated by the community for the longest of time, and the devs are STILL so unwilling to actually provide a sizable Doctor level rework. I cannot believe it, and it's beyond frustrating as hell for a genuinely cool and creepy killer.

Clown was one of the first 10 chapters ever released into the game, years later we're almost double that at 20 chapters and some of the later killers that came after clown have had more serious thought and effort put into reworking them than clown ever got in his entire lifetime. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Even without the yellow bottles, the faster reload speed alone makes him way more viable.

Addonless Clown is slightly better than he used to be because the reload speed buff, but they absolutley nerfed his addons into the ground.

Antidote is so useless its baffling why they even bothered adding it. Its bad to use in chase because Survivors benefit from it as well, and the speed boost it gives you is so minor that it's pointless to use for map mobility because the time it takes to reload your bottles wastes way more time than you save by using them.

Still one of the worst killers in the game, if not the worst.

His rework didn't do much & I think he's practically the same killer as he was before. Sure, the faster reload is a bit more viable, but I don't think that little improvement would move him up an entire tier.

I personally think it's still a little too early because it's only the end of Day 2, but if I had to place him I'd say he stays C Tier.

When it was announced, I didn't understand why I'd want to make survivors go faster and, having played a few times, I still don't understand.

I think the clown was originally in D tier along with wraith and Trapper, but is now in C tier along with Myers, Legion, Demagorgan, and Pig. (voted B tier because you said he was in C tier and I think he went up by one. Also you for some reason have an F tier but not an D or E one.)
