Leatherface was overbuffed

This killer never loses I have noticed. Has his killrates been checked?

His 1-shot is too easy to down. No skill needed. He has no penalty for the only defense survivors have: pallets. He eats a pallets and with almost no stun, he is ready for a very long sweeping 1-shot that needs no skill to use. I don't think this is balanced at all.

Please look at this killer asap and change his power so he has to be smart with it. I'm really tired of every leatherface using Tinkerer and Bamboozle and getting a 4K every time because there is no counterplay.

Vault a window and turn the saw on for a very long time because the survivor can't get to another pallet in time.

    Ok but seriously, LF is one of the best balanced killers in DBD. If you're looping smart, you can stall him for long time and he enforces some very cool mingames if he plays well.

    I feel like most of the time the strategy is to vault if a vault is near or try to run around some props that have a weird / annoying shape and hope the Killer bumps into them. Whether or not he does though doesn't really depend on your skill but rather only on how good the Killer player is at cutting corners around the hitboxes.

    I'd say hes not that good, like against lower skilled players sure but I feel when people understand timings, loops, joining tiles etc. Then he becomes far weaker.

    Love seeing my bubba though, love the films and love hearing him get stunned lol, sadly I never see him :(

    I hope so. I don't remember the last time one actually lost.

    So, like killers in general? Just have to hope that your larger hitbox going around an object can keep up with the survivors smaller hitbox going around the same object.

    What you just described is looping in general. But I don't agree with you it doesn't depened on the survivors skill, since they are the ones directing where the chase will be headed for the most part, their skill in decision making absolutely plays a role in determening how to chain tiles together.

    I hate leatherface, like really really hate leatherface. But not because he's a strong killer, I hate him because of how good he is at securing kills. You literally cannot save someone that leatherface is camping. Otzdarva recently did an experiment where he used corrupt intervention, deadlock, no way out, ans another perks that I can't remember right now on Leatherface and as soon as he downed a survivor he would camp them until they died. He won 6 games in a row before there was a game where 2 survivors escaped.

    That doesn’t mean he needs to be nerfed. See I feel like you should play every killer, because if you did you wouldn’t see how OP you think they are.

    Thanks for pointing that out. He is definitely not balanced. You shouldn't be able to win a game every time by not using your mouse or keyboard.

    So Leatherface hitting a wall with his chainsaw isn't a penalty even with the amount of charges he's used with a longer tantrum? What about Myers or Ghostface is there 1 shot easy to down with? Also do they have no skill cause you just hold down a button to stalk and than they're exposed.

    I mean when the situation where you aren't near a vault and the Killer is using their power. The only way to stop getting downed at that point is to make them bump into an object to cancel it. With other Killers either their power can't instadown you or it has some kind of restriction that lets you deal with it. Once Leatherface is near you they can just charge up their power really quickly and your only hope is that they bump into something - which you don't have control over as a Survivor, it depends on the skill of the Killer player.

  • Sluzzy, sluzz-man, the big sluz. Did you have a bad game against a leather face? I get that all the time with survivors lets nerf them and complain!

    The only Bubba's I see go into Tantrums are new ones otherwise they curve around like Tokyo Drift. Couple him with Bamboozle Bubba has no issues.

    "A situation where you aren't near a vault" bruh that means you played poorly. Leatherface is a trash tier killer, nerfing him would be like nerfing current day Pig or Clown or Legion.

    Well you seem to have problem with all killers, perks etc. Bubba is very OP too you of course but devs focus on the vast majority/normal skilled players and to them Bubba is fine.

    • Spirit, Legion, Plague, Ghostface
    • Demogorgan, Oni, Deathslinger, Pyramid Head

    Your using logic Kebak, We do not that that here. Sluzzy does not want to learn how to loop smart and survivors dislike mindgames.

    Variety is the spice of life. Unfortunately survivors dislike variety. Every killer has to be bad walk in the park.

    If we weren't curving like Toyko Drift, we'd be losing every game.

    His chainsaw can outrun a sprintburst which is a bit silly but hes not OP and pretty balanced i think.

    Like with most things RNG of the map and a coordinated efficient killer or team is what makes the difference
