Kill Switch update: The Mastermind has been Kill Switched due to an issue with Virulent Bound. The Mastermind will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

The Cannibal

Please fix his ability. It takes almost no time at all to wind up, he has full directional movement, and he never fails to one-shot anyone in a game. It’s practically impossible to win against him with that stupid barbeque and chili perk as well.

    LF is one of the killer that benefits the least from BBQ and his chainsaw is pretty bad, since you have to piggyback ride the survivor to get him, because of the slowdown while revving.
    And on top of that, most of his add ons are bugged and no Dev seem to care to fix anything.

    Which of his addons is bugged? I'm guessing you mean Chilis, but they actually work, it's just that their effect is not that great.
    Or is there something I don't know about?

    I can't confirm it with hard facts. Just people (that I usually trust when they talk about gamemechanics) told me that his add ons are not working correct.
    Maybe they fixed it, but still that wouldn't matter. LF will remain a low tier killer, because he can't bring anything useful to the table.

    He's actually the second worst Killer in the game. His chainsaw is only useful in open areas or in basements, and even then, when Survivors are smart they both hide in lockers so he can still get only one Survivor. He's an M1 Killer like Freddy just his Chainsaw makes him the second worst. I'd call him the worst Killer if he wouldn't have the Chainsaw. Freddy can still slow the game down while Leatherface can't.

    I do well with LF in low ranks or against  newer survivors (I am guessing based on how they play).I

    Against seasoned survivors and swf, I get owned. I'm lucky to get a single sac, and sometimes it comes down to a hard camp just to get that single kill.

    Then agaun, maybe I just suck with him, but good survivors start jumping around corners and narrow corridors as soon as they see it revving. So you are basically left with your hammer.

    Oh! I do like him when I'm in a chase in the cornfields though.

    wow... almost as ridicolous as a "Freddy OP" threat...
    if im correct, LF is currently #2 or #3 of the worst killers, right? besides freddy, i wouldnt be able to name any other killer who is worse than LF atm...

    It seems like everytime I play against LF I cant get anywhere. It’s nearly impossible to actually get a LF who’s braindead and can’t make sharp ass turns. Having teammates who don’t act like bots helps as well

    He can be a pita if he gets you out in the open, but he's ironically still far easier to avoid than Hillbilly.

    Trapper, Doctor, Pig, Spirit, Wraith... Leatherface is bad, but there's plenty of killers who are far worse than he is.

    I LOL'ed. Who did you get that tier list from, TydeTime?

    Hag is in the top 3. Doc, Pig, and Spirit are mid-tier.

    Who gave you this list?
    They are all mid-tier. All of them are better than LF.

    every single one of them is better than bubba. the only one i wasnt sure aboout was the wraith, but at least he is able to use his power in a chase now, so yeah. bubba is around #2 of the worst killers in DbD.

    Wraith is deffo better than LF. His invisibility catches survivors off guard and his speed boost when unclocking can help him mind game at certain pallets/windows.

    Spirit is deffo better.

    I'd agree that Doc is worse though. At least LF has an instadown.

    So your complaint is the killer outplayed you? Seriously all the issues you have stated aren't killer balance but user sided. Maybe instead of demanding the game be brought down to your level, you ask for tips and raise your self to everyone else's standards.

    Wraith is actually good compared to Pig, Doctor and Trapper.

    His power requires him to be within melee range meaning he could have hit you with a normal attack. His power takes a bit to charge up and he has to be careful not to clip some of the horrible item hitboxes on the map. As a survivor you have lots of time to get away from him or circle tightly around small objects to force him to either hit the item with his chainsaw or take the turn too wide to hit you. As others have said he isn't a very good killer.

    Not faulty, designed for low tier play. He only gets speed increase when moving in a straight line turning reduces accelaration. If the add ons were faulty it could at least be fixed no its worse then that they are terrible designed.

    I think theres a video on reddit where it shows the comparisons side by side of chilli addons and no addons going in a straight line and there is almost no difference, i had to replay it several times to even see what the difference was. If they aren't faulty and these minute differences are actually working as they should. Then they need a massive ######### buff, otherwise its just a waste of bloodpoints every time. even for low tier play as you say
