Chucky feels just a bit too strong still.

The main issue is that he's a stealth killer with an extremely powerful chase tool that combines elements of Wesker and Legion into one, yet for some reason is stronger than both. With Wesker when you vault a Pallet or Window you can't use your second Bound, and the only time you can hit the Survivor is if they sit right next to your face after you do it. With Legion they can only fast Vault and Vault Pallets when in their power, which isn't lethal unless they hit all 4 Survivors once in the same Frenzy. But with Chucky he gets this already very strong ability to fast Vault but then also retains his power to actually hit and down afterward. It just doesn't feel very good to play against him. Especially taking into consideration his stealth is the best in the game hands down thanks to the distracting footsteps + his extremely small stature making him near impossible to see on many maps. There's a reason all the other Stealth killers are tall and noticable, even Skull Merchant is very tall and instantly noticeable if you look in her direction, same with Myers and even Ghost Face is an extremely recognizable killer with his bright white mask. This all makes it VERY difficult to loop especially since unless like Xeno in Runner Mode or Sadako, his camera is 3rd person so he doesn't suffer from the blindness in chase or in tall grass/walls these 2 low camera killers have. Giving him yet another gigantic advantage completely unique to him just to make chasing and mind gaming even better. His Power's CD is very short, exacerbating these issues even more. Since it's a two for one power I feel like the CD should be at least 30% longer than it is right now.

    yes. this makes wesker anti-loop not very good. to make wesker's anti-loop viable, you have to do 1 frame hug-techs. He is really should be allowed to Virulent bound pallet vault -> 2nd bound. this would make wesker so much better, so many doorways open for him to make interesting plays.

    With Legion they can only fast Vault and Vault Pallets when in their power, which isn't lethal unless they hit all 4 Survivors once in the same Frenzy.

    This makes legion weak because he has no anti-loop due to no lethality. if anything, legion's power should be closer to how chucky's power works.

    Especially taking into consideration his stealth is the best in the game hands down thanks to the distracting footsteps + his extremely small stature making him near impossible to see on many maps.

    His stealth isn't that good because you can hear him giggling so good players can pre-run vs him. what makes his stealth usable is the fact that he can use Slice & Dice alongside his stealth. his stealth is only good to get closer the survivor's. you have limited time duration to stealth so there is inherent time pressure to get the opening hit.

    Serious Question, but what is the play against Crackdoll besides Genrushing? Going against Crackdoll is borderline annoying. Not saying that he is overpowered, but like what am I suppose to do besides holding W? Which most killers seem to complain on the forum by the way. He is for me my 2nd most hated killer right after Flop Merchant because he either vaults any pallet or does a miniblight rush that is super easy to hit. And if he misses then it was not me playing good, it was him playing bad. And that is not a great experience.

    This is one clip of my chase. I shorted it a little bit since I was mainly just holding W 💀

    I love how I always see you in my comments or threads, as if a Blight main has any right to criticize what someone else plays. All your comments are about this, so if I played someone else, Deathslinger is my second most played, would my opinions then be relevant in your mind or something? Also I'm purely a Chase Merchant and always have been.

    The entire scamper mechanic needs to be changed, but they keep nerfing the wrong parts of the power. This makes most of the players reliant on scamper hits, since the actual fun ways of playing him keep getting pulled back. There's no room to buff him until scamper gets cut out or heavily nerfed, it bottle-necks the entire balancing process.
