More chucky nerfs...

I mean it is the same thing as hug tech in that sense, it was in the game for years… But I have to say this one is more reasonable… If you look at how low the cooldown was, you had like 7-8 seconds of power cooldown, that was quite fast, so I guess that is not too bad..

Chucky is pretty weak and bland these days.

Scamper is borderline useless, he eats pallets like a champ, gets bodied by windows, and has extremely linear gameplay revolving around Slice n Dice.

He may as well be 115.

So I have the same question about this then, when is the cooldown supposed to start? Is it…

• Immediately after the slice and dice attack, or
• After the hit/miss cooldown following the slice and dice attack?

If it’s the former, then this change won’t do very much (at most a 1.2 second nerf basekit assuming you use the full slice and dice duration). If it’s the latter, that could be anywhere up to about a 4 second nerf (potentially a bit more than that for successful attacks.)

I have to admit though after having some more time to play new Chucky that the current cooldown does seem a bit too fast so I don’t really have a problem with it being a bit longer. What I would really like them to do though is let Chucky turn a bit more after a scamper during slice and dice to give scamper a little more versatility, right now it’s easy for survivors to move to the sides to avoid being hit in this scenario.

I though the reasoning for getting rid of that flick was because it wasn't possible with a controller?

Behaviour, noone is playing chucky. He isn't fun to play and literally all you've been doing is making him less lucrative to play. Why? He wasn't even overpowered before with scamper and you're now removing the only thing from the change that could be conceivably considered fun.

It's like they are looking at his player numbers and going "guys, there's still 3 people playing Chucky. What can we do to make them all quit?".

the worst change to date. what is the point of reducing his cooldown if your setting the cooldown to almost the same as prior to the change? Chucky is the super fun to play now for me minus scamper being weak.

no, it was 15 because cooldown started as you dash. On-hit, He has 3 second cooldown and on miss, he has 2.25 second cooldown. The yellow add-on reduced it to 13.2 seconds and 12.3 seconds respectively in 18 second cooldown. It is why some player label this as nerf because you could get similar cooldown when running old add-on's. These cooldown still felt bad because Chucky is 110% m/s killer. He is almost nothing without his ability.

The buff in this version of chucky is that you can use 12 second cooldown alongside add-on to reduce it further.

I can agree with Rat poison being reworked/nerfed. No turn-rate add-on's. killer being add-on reliant should be something the past. A large majority of killers as of recent updates have been getting add-on's into their base-kit to be playable.

it starts cooldown as soon as you dash. for example if you run portable TV which is an add-on that gives you 70% S&D duration when exit gates are powered, you'll have like 6-7 second because the S&D dash duration is lasting for half map S&D. Like I said, this always worked this way.

Mathematically, 1.2 second+2.25/3 second cooldown will increase his cooldown from 12 to 15 seconds. He'll have same cooldown as before change WITH the nerfed Scamper. There is like 0 point in the change. It is just flat out nerf with no positives.

Almost nothing aside from 3rd person POV and a really small model/hitbox...

3rd person doesn't matter if survivor can see my illusionary steps or see me over loops. At the end of the day, Chucky relies on S&D.

i think 3rd person viewpoint works vs weaker player but is pretty much useless vs the top loopers because of check-spots.

generally speaking, I use 3rd person viewpoint to try to mind-game/make experience loopers to come closer to me so I am closer to S&D. The 3rd person only helps facilitate his S&D in certain instances. it should never give you full hits if the player is remotely good.

they lower skill-floor for mindgaming. normally killer have to moon-walk. Chucky doesn't have to moon-walk. In practice it provides no advantage at all but the act of lowering skill-floor of an action makes it more prominent for a killer to do said action.

I am not sure how to explain this. It is like great skill-checks. some player might actively avoid aiming for great skill-checks because they see the risk vs reward of missing skill-check as -10% vs 1% but if you make This is not happening base-kit, a survivor might actively aim for more great skill-checks because the risk of blowing the up the gen is lower. A lot of killer actively avoid red glow mindgames vs a strong looper because they see the cost of losing distance as higher detriment then the odds that they get an extra hit.

This type of interaction is something that happened with flashlights. flashlights used to be this super high skill move for survivor but nobody went for them. their skill-floor to perform flashlight was lowered and suddenly, more player will incline to go for flashlight saves, so on average, you as killer deal more with flashlight saves…. Of course some killer plays hated so they are lightborn gamer's now.
