Nerf Pinhead
If there already an existing discussion about this, please link me as I would love to chime in...
It says a lot when survivors DC or ignore added objectives when a killer is introduced to the game. Is it just me or do survivors avoid doing the puzzle boxes? I've had several games where I was the only survivor picking the box up and actually doing it... Like #########.
There needs to be a way to better balance this killer.
- What if the puzzle box only teleported within a certain proximity, kind of how the hag does. Completing the box will still reveal the survivor's location.
- Prolong the time between each box appearance.
- Limit the amount of boxes in a match, or omit after end game collapse.
I hate playing against Pinhead as there are too many objectives compared to other killers.

Too many objectives?
There is +1 objective, Pig has side objective too and she is not good either. You might also count Trapper / Hag, because you don't wanna ignore active traps.
You nerf killers, when they are too strong, not when survivors are lazy to play the game. Pinhead is not strong killer, he is more in lower half.
Box is only thing that makes him at least decent, because his main power is not good. It is really hard to use with low gain.

Pinhead is not too strong for a nerf so no do the box

No.
However there are a lot of posts about buffing pinhead because he's about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

I’m not surprised the survivors whose only skill is to hold m1 at gens are crying right now.

Pig, trapper, hag do not REQUIRE you to do the tasks forcefully, this is a completely different scenerio. At the start of the game, you need to start getting the box. So IMO, yes, Pinhead has +1 more objective than other killers.
No one is crying, I'm speaking my mind LOL. There's a difference...
From experience, I consistently find myself running across the map just to do the stupid box more than other players. It's frustrating. I'm sorry if I am not at your caliber, ya'll need to be open to other peoples perspectives as well.

You can actually finish the game ignoring box, it will be hard but possible. Have you tried ingoring Pig's side objective, the most forcefull thing I can think of? That will literally kill you.

Survivors literally dc over anything. Just because a few survivors dc from the game doesn't mean anything.

Prolong the time between boxes?
Limit the number of box spawns?
You do know if you solve the box it takes 45 seconds to respawn? That's on top of the 90 seconds to fully activate the Chain Hunt.

The game has not enough objectives, not too much, #########? xD
Running for the box is great way to 'force' interaction between killer and survivor. Game has not enough mechanics like that. When you play against practically any other killer, you may hold M1 and 'win'.

As someone who has already submitted loads of time, testing, being an avid pinhead main and defender, and currently writing a large guide for pinhead, he does not need a nerf. He actually doesn't need a large or lots of buffs either. I'll give some times for you and some examples.
- The teleport already teleports you within a certain proximity. It isn't an instant kill. Just have awareness and a plan of what you are going to do in the event of him teleporting to you.
- It takes approximately 90 seconds for a chain hunt to begin once the box spawns. That is enough time to complete a full generator if he doesn't have addons. Solving the box makes it disappear for 45 seconds before spawning. If you solve the box, there is 135 seconds before needing to absolutely solve the box again. You have loads of time to not worry about it.
- Limiting the number of boxes is such a silly idea, especially since it is a large part of his kit and leads to his power, but can be disabled for so long and so often already, because reminder: Pinhead can't see his box.
Personally, he only needs a buff, and a very small one at that. All I believe he needs is for the environmental breaks on his chains to respawn INSTANTLY, not with a delay. If they spawned more quickly it would feel much more consistent. Now that his lunge is fixed, that is all I think he needs to be perfect as he is now.

No.

Uh, no. Survivors complete the objective of generators extremely fast when playing efficiently. More objectives as a secondary ability is not an issue at all, deal with it and quit whining about anything that you find strong.
