How easy it is to counter Leatherface

In my Opinion Leatherface is too week, even worse than Freddy. ATM you can still play with Leatherface though and do 4ks cause not many people know how to counter him properly. im not a toxic Killer Main i dont play leatherface often. i see it in a perspective as a survivor.

You can counter Leatherface easily by

-Dead Hard, 180/360's and Fake Pallet Drop / Pallet Looping. but probably the best thing to juke him is walking around Small props. you are litteraly unhitabble unless he m1s if you do that. even insta chainsaw or speed addons cant help a Leatherface on something like that.


Tell me what you think about this

    His weakness is playing the trial normally. He lacks mobility, has a huge terror radius, no way to mask his terror radius, one of the tallest killer (can see him over loops), can easily be looped, has no way to slow the progression of the game down. He's a scuffed Billy.

    His only strength is his AOE chainsaw with the chance of hitting multiple survivors. Any decent, rational thinking survivor won't fall for this and allow this to happen. So although it's one of his strengths, it's a weak strength because you'll seldom AOE down good survivors. This is why the meme basement build exist.

    Thats what i mean. If all the Survivors use that to their advantage, they are basically as op as the Old OP Flashlights everyone complained about

    HOW EASY IT IS TO COUNTER LEATHERFACE?


    The answer to this is simple. You just need a pallet or a window nearby, sometimes you can even try to manevuer him into obstacles.

    Given that pallets and windows are spread all over the map and that the number of pallets lasts for more than 5 gens and that windows never dissapear..... well you just gotta be careful not to go too close to the basement

    It was not a question i already answered in the thread. the most efficient way to destroy this killer is to run around props though.

    Yeah, as long as you have pallets/windows nearby, it’s pretty easy to avoid his chainsaw, however with good perks or when he hooks someone in the basement, thats The scenario where his strength shows up, having an AOE ability that makes survivors think twice before survivor go for a save.

    I mostly agree.

    Bubba just gets looped and genrushed. His only strength lies in camping, which itself got nerfed hard over the time.

    the only thing that you listed as a counter that will not work is 360ing. Bubba was designed to fight that. In order to 360 a bubba chainsaw you need abnormal amounts of luck.

    Which is a playstyle nowadays punished for both sides.

    He needs a rework, if his only strength is a playstyle discouraged by the devs then he is broken.

    He literally has no hitboxes with his chainsaw so you cant 360 him (also he can 360 by himself) or run around some props. He dont care.

    Is it still possible to crouch to avoid his chainsaw? I haven't played against him in a while but out of all the killers, I've crouched evaded him too many times and its always funny. Legion has to be the second most.

    360s and 180's are actually possible but you can only do this very rarely. and running around props always works.
