Chucky's changes in the 8.0.0 update have ruined the character for me and many other players

Scamper at windows should absolutely be possible.

I'm so sorry...

As an OG Sadako main, I understand how you feel.

New one is pretty similar. I love that they at least reverted her a bit.

I can play her again. That's more than Freddy mains can say about their killer.

• Scamper is now only available while performing a Slice & Dice.

That is from the official patch notes. So it is intended and not a bug.

Anyway, I stopped playing Chucky when they removed the flicks because it already made him very bland for me and this only makes that issue worse. The only thing, that's special about him now is the 3rd person view and that honestly isn't enough to get me to play him when the rest of his kit is so generic and boring.

Chucky is unenjoyable to play as. He was one of my favorite killers, but now that's ruined. I'm an average player, regardless of the killer. I'm not top-notch on chases. I loved Chucky's former ability to counter loops with Scamper not being tied to Slice & Dice. Before, I rarely got hits, but the chases were fun. Today, I played one match with the now-forced usage of Slice & Dice to Scamper pallets. After performing a Scamper, the survivor must be next to the pallet to get a hit from the forced end of Slice & Dice. Now, survivors can drop a pallet, miss the hit attempt from Scamper, and get distance with a higher probability of escaping when Chucky loses sight of them during the Slice & Dice attack animation. I refuse to play Chucky like every other killer who has to chase survivors around a loop with a down pallet or take the time to break the pallet. There is Zero enjoyment in playing as Chucky. I will never play him again with the state that he is in. Thank You, BHVR, for ruining Chucky.

He's just boring now. This isn't even a case of whether he's stronger or weaker, but the main reason I bought him was because he just bypassed god pallets which shouldn't even be in the game, but apparently god pallets which give the killer no counterplay are fine but the killer having an ability to get a hit at those very same pallets is problematic.

It was never a free hit on other loops, it was a mindgame and part of your toolkit giving you options at a loop with how you wanted to approach it. Now you approach literally every single loop identically. Take the pallet side, slice and dice 50/50. Take the pallet side, slice and dice 50/50. Someone comp drops the pallet? Break the pallet, slice and dice.

There is only 1 passable place I've found to use slice and dice scamper and that's if the survivor shut themselves on the inside of shack with the pallet drop and they pre-run it instead of standing to the side or if they comp dropped the shelves on gideon. Otherwise again, break pallet slice and dice.

This excuse of "un-counterable hits" for removing the entire mechanic while god pallets are not only in the game but actively being added to maps that didn't have them like Hawkins is quite frankly, a joke. Where's the killers counterplay for someone comp dropping 90% of Gideons pallets? Just play Nurse 24/7 I guess.

Hello everyone, DZM here (Chucky Main). To my knowledge Chucky wasn't changed because of the Scamper into SnD, y'all (BHVR)  actually encourage using SnD more. States that he was changed because of the Scamper into basic (M1). Which wasn't an actual thing, all the survivor needs to do is run back around the pallet and they don't get hit by an M1, only way it's a "Free Hit" (M1) is if you have the Running Shoes add-on. Otherwise you don't get hit by an M1 because Chucky is too slow. Do the testing and you'll see. Wesker and Vecna actually get free hits (M1) when Vaulting and lifting pallets. He was fine just the way he was before the change. The removal of window Scampers also wasn't asked for and wasn't needed. A few people are saying this is a buff with the cooldown (which actually doesn't matter that much when survivors just predrop, you can SnD around but they'll just vault) and why this may be right to an extent everyone's missing the point. They have removed everything about the killer that made him fun and unique, (180 Flicks, Scamper Cancels, Scampers) and apparently some of his voice lines according to Mr. Smithsonian. He's just boring and doesn't feel good to play anymore, and I don't think anything needed to happen to him. Could have changed Running Shoes add-on. That's my take on the changes, please feel free to inform me or correct me if I am wrong about anything. Chucky is my favorite killer in the game and I don't think it's fair that he gets massacred because the community can't learn counterplay. In my opinion these changes killed Chucky.

My Suggestions: These are mainly gonna be Quality Of Life and Slight Buffs (Because he was fine the way he was, the Scamper had counterplay)

- Revert changes (Manual Pallet/ Window Scamper and Voice lines) make the Scamper a bit slower, more in tune with Wesker or Legions Vaults.

(Revert because once again Scamper into M1 isn't possible)

- Change, starts the trial with power off cooldown and Increase Hidey Ho mode cooldown to 15 Seconds

(Starts Trial with power off cooldown because Blight, Billy, Nurse, Spirit and various other killers start the trial with their powers. Cooldown to 15 Seconds to give Chucky the ability to use SnD as a map mobility tool because he currently has none, and to use power a bit more frequently because hitting someone w SnD then doing nothing for 20 sec felt so bad.)

- Change (Mirror Shards, Pile of Nails and Running Shoes)

Pile of Nails: 7 Seconds of Undetectable after manually exiting Hidey Ho mode. Mirror Shards: Turn rate add-on for SnD Scampers.

(You're giving up SnD which is a strong ability and usually results in a hit for 7 Sec of Undetectable which I think is fair.)

- Bring back the Scamper Cancel because it was fun and gave no competitive advantage.

These aim to bring back the fun and uniqueness of Chucky while giving survivors a bit more counterplay.

Edit: I love to see the community coming together for Chucky and realizing that the Scamper into M1 wasn't an actual thing. Lmk what y'all think of my suggested changes.

I feel like Chucky can still have an identity by adjusting his scamper during slice n dice

Right now you rarely scamper pallets during slice n dice since it's very limiting to move around while survivors can go behind pallets thus avoiding being hit

While yes, chucky manually scampering was absolutely his identity, but an identity that was not enjoyable as he just gives free hits without making any cool play,

It's why I want Chucky's slice n dice scamper to be buffed and while yes there's killers like blight and wesker that do those types of mobility, but this is gameplay that Chucky can maneuver by dashing through pallets by not kicking them but use them to their advantage

That's an identity I want to see in him going forward in my honest opinion

Then put a slowdown period on his scamper speed where his scamper speed is slowed down to his release scamper speed for 5 second after Scamper has been used already while in chase to prevent him from spamming pallets like before or something, i don't care what, i just don't want his scamper removed from Hidey-Ho mode no matter what, that to me is a complete and utter deal breaker, same way removing Slice & Dice or Hidey-Ho mode completely would be a deal breaker too.

Save the maneuvering while dashing for another Killer, because it is not what Chucky is nor should mainly be about and he should most certainly not be reduced to become mainly that either.

Also i'm just generally sick and tired of hypemobile killers, it's a power type that's been done to death at this point and offers nothing new or interesting gameplay wise, we don't need every killer to become that just because it's a popular playstyle.

I would rather have Hidey-Ho stealth mindgames be the main strength of Chucky's power instead of Slice & Dice being the main focus so that his main identity isn't reduced to that of yet another hypemobility killer as we already have too many of them, however at this point i just want Manual scamper back, so i'll take anything at this point in time as long as it means that it returns again one way or another.

Also i feel like Slice & Dice should be more risk/reward heavy by giving him a slightly more noticable penalty for missing Slice & Dice but a better reward for hitting someone.
