Clown rework after months
When the Clown rework was released I made a post where I said that Clown rework was a nerf.
People said to me to not use speed bottles if I didnt feel it.
After months I still play my Pink Elephant killer and I wanted to share with you my opinion about the state of Clown.
Before the current rift : nobody plays him anymore.
Clown rework was not a nerf, but it was not a buff at all.
He is still a very weak killer and I dont enjoy playing him anymore.
Im not the best player with Clown but I do better with killers I dont like..
I think the main issue with Clown rework is both bottles sharing the same charges.
I tried all addons and I think Clown is good when you use only one type of bottles. Pink bottles build or Yellow bottles build.
Using both bottles in the same game and you have to reload too many often.
Yellow bottles was a good idea, but to make clown better I think we should have 4 pink bottles and 4 yellow bottles at the start of the match.
What do you think ?
PS : sorry for my bad english

4 of each is too much. I’d advocate for 4 tonics and 2 antidotes that he can reload separately

Delete him from the game and he’ll be perfect

Aww but he’s the only killer I enjoy playing :(

I was thinking about 3 of each maybe ?
But I dont think 4 of each would be too much considering how weak he is.
Thats why I made a post because I love Mr Puddles.
But since I praticed Doctor and Oni, my Clown feels so weak to me....

3 of each could work but most would see it as a nerf

With a good rework you get more players to play the killer and create a little buzz around it. This rework was a disaster.

Well at least it wasn’t the billy rework I guess

I wouldn't even call it a rework....Dr. is a rework also Freddy. Clown was a minor reload buff with a trashing of his addons.

I agree I would not call it a rework. When the devs teased a "rework" I was expecting big changes.

The shared charges definitely hinder him more than they help him. I'd only see keeping them separate as a valid option if they were to either reduce the reload time to 2 seconds or to give him Smelly Inner Soles as basekit. He loses too much distance on survivors with all the reloading he has to do. After all, he's not Deathslinger who can reel in his prey.

It's all just too complex, guys.

As in his 1 outdated add on?

Would be great if the yellow bottles would release instandly and not after 2 seconds
Would be also great if both clouds would have a bigger radius
Would be even better if the clown had 6 bottles base kit
And the pink bottles should slow survivors a little bit more.
You can adjust his addons around these ideas. But you know, bhvr is doing whatever bhvr wants to do.

Maybe if we ask enough they will change Clown has he should be.

doc and oni are better killers. so yes.
I mean using purple add-on called cheap gin bottle is 3 and 3 for much shorter reload assuming you use both of them equally. single capacity is much better as it allows clown to control how many purples and how many yellows he needs. he decides distribution.
I mean if we wanted add more bottles, we would just add +4 bottle to capacity for total 8 bottles, but this just encourages clown to spam bottles recklessly rather than time his speed boost carefully with hindered ability. at worse, the player does not even use yellow bottles due too much counter-play that I discussed in previous thread with you.

Honestly I don't think I've played against a clown that actually uses yellow bottles like it's genuinely rare I see clown players use those
2 -
So make him brainless to play?
1 -
I want to encourage clown’s to use the antidote more but if we just add more bottles total people will just throw more tonics

My two main issues with the rework:
I have double the uses for bottles but the same amount of ammunition. So while I'm reloading faster, I'm reloading at least twice as often. It feels like a net time loss for reloading even though they buffed the speed.
It's way too easy to throw the wrong bottle. Switching just sort of happens, and the only indicator is way down in the bottom corner of the screen. I would rather have the yellow throw be bound to CTRL and the pink throw be bound to M2 without having to switch between both and throw either one with M2. It's not intuitive switching between both on the same ammo charge to throw with the same button.

sure that is my argument. That is why I do not really want more bottles. I just want to be able time my speed boosts when I want them but that delay impairs you from doing that. In fact I wager that you could play clown with 4 bottles if his yellow bottles were instant. Survivors have 2 health states, so you can use 2(1 hindered+speed) for one health state and 2 for another health state assuming you use them at correct time.

Exactly thats why both bottles should not share the same charges.
Clown is a killer I care about because he is the first killer I enjoyed playing with. I would not play killer at all right now if I never discovered the clown.
He will always be my main killer, even if Im now better with other killers.
I just want the devs to know that players still care about him and I wish Im not alone waiting another "rework".
