Clown rework was overall pretty nice but...
The yellow bottles are MUCH better then ppl claim them to be, the addon rework was also very well, the reload speed buff and the slowdown on a initial throw reduction is also pretty nice. Clown feels very nice to play and is alot of fun.
But I wonder why Clown didnt got some "after tweaks" just like Freddy, Doc, Billy and Bubba? Atleast not that much as them. I mean yes they are also not perfect but they got alteast a second look over them after a month of monitoring their performence?
I believe that the only last thing the Clown needs is a buff on his base bottle count. There are many ways to approach it, for example seperate the yellow and purple bottle counts, so instead of 4 for all make it 3 purple and 3 yellow bottles. Or just simply increase the bottles in total to 6 or 8? I would prefer the seperated version imo.
Anyway the main topic is still however if anyone knows why Clown didnt got the same treatment as the other reworked Killers? I dont remember seeing anything from the devs claiming that Clown is "fine" how he is.

My idea:
Passive ability: increase the base bottle count after 7(?) intoxications event, up to +2 bottles.
(Bottle addons can be reworked around that)

I know the devs have no interest in this change but giving him two different ammo pools would be better. Imo he should have 4 tonics and 2 antidotes with the antidote’s recharging after 10 seconds

I'm not 100% sure, but I think around when the Clown rework came out people suggested that his yellow and pink bottles should have different ammo pools and the reason against it from a dev was that "it'd be too confusing for players to keep track of"

Track of ? Press control to see how many u got of each GGEZ.

Smell more like than we cant do that becuz would be like adding two powers in code or something and very much complicated.

The antidotes just don't feel very impactful for mobility or for chases, though. I enjoy the difficulty in using them correctly but 10% faster movement for 5 seconds just isn't very useful when it consumes a bottle. If the invigorated effect lasted for 7 seconds, I think they'd be used a lot more and would generally be about equal to the tonics in terms of power.

Yep I remember that too. But dont worry guys keeping track of chainhunts, where the lament configuration is, making a gateway, steering a chain and not walking into you own chains is sooooo ituitive and easy to understand or keeping track of 4 survivors infection, 3 vaccine cases, 2 zombies and a partraidge in a pear tree(too early?). Not a jab at Pinhead or Nemesis I like em just they think keeping track of 2 ammo counts is hard then release 2 pretty complex killers.

you mean just like twins?

Or just seperate the 2 bottles to their own bottle count, that way you could use them way more freely without taking away your slow bottles. The reason why they arent that "impactful" is because they are in direct compare with the slow botttles, which ofc the slow bottles are way better and therefore makes them less better. But if they are seperated from each other than thats a whole different story.

Separate the bottle usage when you use a purple bottle you don’t take a yellow bottle

Honestly I'm glad more people are beginning to realize the yellow bottle is a powerful tool during chase. I still think Clown could use a few more tweaks to his base-kit and add-ons though, I even made a whole thread on how to fix some of his add-ons.
I'm surprised Clown hasn't been changed ever since his rework released to be honest, but hopefully they look over him again, he's one of my favorite killers to play as.

I'd honestly love this change, but as you said they'll probably not have any interest in it (unfortunately).

I don't really notice a difference when I use the yellow bottles, and I find it doesn't even last very long

I always loved the yellow bottles, I was one of the true warriors trying to defend them, I just gave up trying to convince ppl, let them cry. But ye I hope Clown will get a second look over soon.

you should maybe play more killer, you dont seem to have enough experience in the game.
