Chucky nerfs are absolutely unnecessary.

I have been playing this game since Late 2017, and I believe a lot of the changes have been overall healthy for the game going forward. Spent a fortune on skins and chapters. However I'm really considering leaving this game behind if we dont revert some of the Chucky nerfs and get equal treatment for killers and surviors buffs/nerfs to compensate for whatever was changed. I feel like I wasted money on The Good Guy chapter and all skins just for you to bring a sledge hammer of nerfs on one of my favorite killers Chucky. I've been noticing a pattern of relasing killers strong, selling skins and then nerfing them when the survivor community complains which is pathetic. However with this recent nerf on Chucky I feel like it was absolutely unnecessary. I main Chucky and he's one of my favorite killers, and it really hurts me to see him nerfed so hard because players would rather complain get him nerfed instead of trying to get better going against him and adjusting to the killer's playstyle. Same thing happened with Dracula, but Chucky was over nerfed! I never really had a problem going against Chucky, and playing the killer also definitely helps learning going against them as well. Which is exactly why I feel like these nerfs on Chucky were so unnecessary because he was not impossible to counter. Please consider reverting these changes on Chucky and stop doing the same pattern of releasing a killer strong if you're just gonna over nerf them when survivors complain anyway. Mark my words you will most likely lose a lot of players if these patterns still happen the way they do. I and a lot of ppl have spent a lot of time and money on this game. All that is wanted is fair treatment for buffs and nerfs across the board instead of it being one sided. I want to see this game thrive and succeed but this type of treatment/ nerfs on a killer just ain't it. Once again please consider reverting these change on Chucky and be more fair to killers going forward. Otherwise you will lose a player in me, and many more.

    Nope it's fine, he is already small, have 3rd person view that can be a great advantage in some loops, with more speed he can hit from miles especially with a bad ping, so please don't change it

    Bad ping is not a valid reasoning. I saw you writing this on other posts too. Bad ping means (oversimplification) the given player is out of sync with the server, so he isn't in the place he's seeing himself at. This isn't a characters fault. If you are not where you see yourself, don't balme the other party, just your internet connection. From that Chucky's point of view (or any other killer, it doesn't matter), you were standing right in front of him and he could hit you easily. The other survivors saw this way too. The killer does not change that.

    When you are talking about looping, don't forget that he is a 110 killer, and the survivors have free wallhacks on him half the time, while he constantly talks and giggles.

    Ping can help every killer.

    Not just Chucky.

    So ping is not a relevant or good argument.

    I'm not so sure if the nerf was absolutely terrible. The math all works out so that chucky has the same range (the max distance from a survivor he can use his power and still reach them), but the only difference is 0.6 seconds of time. Which COULD be enough to get them to a window or pallet. I imagine that haste effects like sprint burst or hope will actually swing the number more in the survivors' favor though, but probably only by a little.

    He's decidedly weaker, but by a small margin. Still, I guess it wasn't necessary seeing as his kill rates appear to be in the bottom 10 of all 38 killers.

    I agree with most of what you say, hovever, sprint burst and other speed perks are now basicaly a get out of jail free cards agains him. Also, while his power is greatly compromised because of this, it's not even the biggest problem. The largest problem with the speed change, that it makes him feel very slow and considerably less fun to play as.

    He's also 4,4 lol, his height is absolutely no reasoning because wolf is the same basically. Also they did nerf him 3 times with one update, 2 cooldown and 1 speed, they have to revert at least the cooldown starting after the dash and the speed.

    This poor boy already got his scamper taken away, his dash-scamper is almost nonexistent because you run to the side and you're magically unreachable, his stealth was never good because he laughs as soon as he gets close. Now they nerf his dash 3 times in one patch, they took around 50% of his power and the only thing he still have gets worse every 3 patches it feels like xD
