Just make his chainsaw more sensitive to walls and objects, Many times he swings through an object and should get stunned.

    Nerf, but not a bad nerf? Nerf means to make things not so good. Also peer to peer connection, sometimes it seems to a player the obstruction was in the aoe but to the killer it wasn't.

    nerf
    To weaken or make less dangerous. Taken from the "Nerf" brand name, which makes sports equipment toys out of a soft foam (e.g., the Nerf football is soft foam rather than the hard leather of a real football). Used frequently in the context of computer game balance changes.

    No.

    Useless? what version of DBD are you playing?

    I don't think he needs a nerf! There were so many ways to counter Leatherface btw. His ability doesn't even help him during the chase, and he gets looped easily. This is why he's not a top tier killer. But his Perks were so damn good tbh.

    I'm playing Dead by Daylight version 2.0.0.

    He's still useless and one of the worst Killers in the game.

    buff
    When someone is looking fine u say they are buff (London ting)
    Manz was buff

    Both definitions were taken from Urban Dictionary. :)

    Turns out there's more definitions.

    Buff
    (In MMORPGs) To improve the stats of another player by casting spells, as is typical of Acolyte and Cleric classes.
    Gimme buffs, #########!

    The others aren't that relevant. :)

    Leatherface does not need a nerf. I don’t believe he is a useless killer like some people say but he isn’t top tier in the slightest. The only thing that bugs me about LF is that he is the best camper in the game. Just rev up the chainsaw in the survivors face, goodbye hooked Claudette. Not THAT huge of an issue though as that has only happened to me like twice.

    I have only played Leatherface about 10 or so times but without add-ons I find I hit almost any nearby obstacle without good precision with my movements.

    I was just making a suggestion, many toxic people on the forums. Thanks for the feedback, I just personally have a hatred for him... I don't really suck at juking or anything (I was rank 2 before reset). I guess I'll just have to practice juking that certain killer. Thank you everyone for replying and showing me some attention on my post.

    For sure...I’ve had bad run-ins with Leatherface and at times he may seem OP but it is the person behind the screen that is doing everything. Leatherface is not a top tier killer

    We need strong/scary killers to play/go up against. Nerfing him is just counter productive, especially when he's a "meh" killer.

    Yeah that's pretty much where that one started, I remember back in Everquest when it was like, "Okay gang let's get buffs on and start the fight"

    One of the weakest?  What crack are you smoking?  He is not weak.  Having an instadown and superior camping kinda nullifies that argument.

    He's weak dude, sounds like you're a low rank player or troll, you are Rank 2 before Reset? How often do you see Leatherface on Rank 1 tell me

    All his add-ons besides charge time is garbage and proven in-effective
    https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/7urzsq/i_compared_leatherface_chainsaw_speed_withwithout/

    His chainsaw is easy to hit but he has no map control, Billy is miles better than LF, he's probably the best killer for camping especially in basement

    Get looped for days

    Y’all have got to be kidding me right?! One of the weakest killers in the game? He can camp like no other and if he happens to catch you away from loops or pallets then you’re screwed, it’s ridiculous. Either way devs already announced that they are nerfing him.
  • GrootDude
    GrootDude Member Posts: 14,110

    So he has a insta down and can camp? Ok don’t save and gen rush? He has noed oh well he is camping so we can just open the gate and leave and then we move on and play another match.

  • GrootDude
    GrootDude Member Posts: 14,110

    Btw he isn’t useless use charge speed add one and chainsaw speed and you’re good. (At least if you’re out in the open.)

    They never announced a nerf on him.

    Can’t remember which video, but it was either TydeTime or The King who mentioned it in one of their videos, maybe not a nerf, but they are looking into reworking him or seeing what they can do with him. I’m trying to find the vid.
  • GrootDude
    GrootDude Member Posts: 14,110

    @vux_intruder I wouldn’t trust Tyde for info and I haven’t watched King ever.

    I would agree at my level (currently 8 but have been as low as 4) it seems that leather face can hit trees and walls without issue. I always sigh when I realize hes the killer. I mean it always depends on the players comfort with him but I still generally get down by the chainsaw at least once no matter what.

    Yeah, exactly! Something needs to be done with him, in the case he catches you in a field away from walls or pallets etc. you’re pretty much going down no matter what. At least with Billy you have more chance to avoid him, and if Learherface camps well that’s a RIP

    Imo you must not be playing him right, whenever I play a game as Leatherface I get kills very easily, they need to slow his movement speed or do something with the chainsaw.

    Freddy and Leatherface are mentioned right after at exactly 5:24, I said 5:15 so you wouldn’t miss it but somehow you did still? Lol ???

    The negativity from the people in the DBD community is appalling, this is hilarious how negative you all are replying. Why are you guys upset? (x it’s pretty weird
