Pinhead needs a buff and a nerf
I'm celebrating the comeback from pinhead but I think he need some changes.
As Killer It shouldn't be possible to grab the box from the ground. That would prevent from getting chainhunts too soon and to often.
The possessed chain should be slightly buffed, that targeted survivor can't wiggle free so fast.

Really? 'Hey, lets just remove the Killer's ability to pick up his own Lament Box, just because!'
Pass. If I find it first; Survivors deserve the pain. I should not have to camp it and wait for a Survivor to pick it up, or drop chases to teleport, to have any chance of using it myself.

It would be ok if you cold grab them from the survivor hands Or if you are using franklins that its possible to grab it.
But it's not ok to search the box and just grab it. Thought that this is a bug and will be fixed with the new update. The normal way to play should be buffed.

And why is it 'not okay' to just grab it? Like, give me any good balancing issue. Because all I'm seeing is a proposed nerf to PinHead for...no real reason.

When iI played firstime vs a grab ceno No one knew what happened. The chainhunts triggered the whole time and we couldn't do anything. We reported the killer as cheater, because we don't knew what happened. There was no forum post about it at this time. It's just feels a little OP in the right hands.
And I meaned to nerf and buff him, because hitting a survivor with the possessed chain gives not much reward, if youre not standing next to the survivor.

So, because you did not know how his power works, it felt strange to you, and thus needs to be changed to be in line with how you feel it should work?
Pinhead's power is fine.

I don't think that the power from pinhead is to search the box early and grab it. Maybe i'm wrong.

It punishes Survivors who ignore the box and focus on gens. If they don't find it first, then they get harassed by chains.
Your change would allow them to literally ignore the box to push gens until they get close to being chained, and THEN go find it.

Exactly. Before the first chainhunt Pinhead can still make pressure on gens like every Killer.

I don't think you understood me, or I'm not understanding you.
With your change, SURVIVORS can ignore the box, since Pinhead can no longer pick it up, and thus push gens until their chain-gauge-thing is close to filling up.
This means Pinhead is LOSING gen pressure, because he's losing out on the threat of finding the Box first.
So no. You're asking for a change based on clearly not understanding how his power works, and 'feeling' it's too strong.
Pinhead's power is fine. No; Your idea is a massive nerf & unneeded.

That's your point, I have mine. But it's always interesting to see opinions from another view.
