Springtrap will definitely get nerfed

It's already very obvious his speed add-ons foxys hook and celebrate poster will get nerf along with some of Springtraps basekit.

Springtrap moves to fast holding his Axe making him extremely good at zoning so he needs to be slower while holding.

Springtrap also gets his axe to fast able to throw every 6-7 seconds and needs to be increased.

Finally his axe grab attack is very generous in range and like Kaneki grab attacks nobody likes it and needs finer tuning for the range to be shorter.

What changes do you think Springtrap needs?

    This sounds like……a lot of nerfs…Perhaps too many. I don't think he is OP by any means. Nothing like Kaneki.

    The movement speed while holding the axe is too high and maybe the wind up too, but otherwise I don't really see an issue with the power.

    The only thing I see him having an issue with is that he can axe someone then follow up REALLY quickly with very little downtime for the grab. Huntress has the same issue.

    Bugfixes, and maybe a look at his more problematic add-ons. Celebrate Poster i think is unhealthy as things currently stand, and with how strong Unbound is currently i think it doesnt help the matter. Main reason is that i believe the add-on creates an unhealthy gameplay loop for the survivor where they need to get the axe out, but springtrap can see the axe so you cant mind game, and he runs faster than you still, and if he yanks you, its an instant pick up. Can really only hold W and yank the axe out yourself, but then spring trap gets his axe back instantly and can down you. Might be case of nerfing the axe by putting his power on cooldown if the survivor gets the axe out of their body before springtrap retrieves it, which hurts the celebrate poster add-on, but buffs greasy pizza plate as it increases the time survivors have to take the axe out of them.

    Basically but the axe cooldowns needs more time as well

    I actually think they're going to lower his Undetectable. He gets like 15 seconds basekit just for using his doors.

    The problem is his speed, it's impossible to make distance even being hit.

    Literally every single springtrap I see is running that stupid haste build… They literally outrun my sprintburst, like wth…

    That is literally what 90% of the killer roster has to do :D Not sure if you meant that sarcastic or not…
