Clowns can now shut their brains off

Skull merchant got nerfed because of her awful 3 gen potential, not because of her haste lol

Even after they got rid of chess merchant people were still complaining about her post-rework to the point that we ended up with what we have now. Her haste stacking and hinder being a sore point for a lot of people which is why those two aspects got nerfed the way they did. And with so many people complaining about clown's hinder they overbuffed the hell out of haste instead.

They are referring to Skull Merchant 2.0, my dear friend, not her first version.
And back when she got unnecessarily nerfed, they did alter the Haste and Hindered effects of her power, even though they weren't problematic to begin with.

Devs ignored the feedback on this and on franklins. Pretty good job so far

It's really silly. BHVR wants killer to have no skill requirements though. Killers are balanced for sub 20 hour players to win easily.

Tf are you talking about? You could always turn off your brain while playing Clown. You just need to use a different bottle now, that's the only change to his gameplay.

i went against a clown running these two addons with a haste build, and it was so bad… he said he had 24% haste for most of the match😨

At base yes but with haste perks 20-25%

Yeah I just tried 3 games with Clown and my god… I had free 15% haste the entire match which sat at 20% for a large portion with Rapid Brutality + STBFL combo. It was the dumbest 3 games I've ever played. The survivors couldn't make any distance or mind-game any pallets because I was just zooming the entire game. It felt like Blight but without the difficulty of landing rushes.

This sort of stuff makes me glad I don't really play survivor anymore lol I was watching Slate play speedy Clown last night and just kept thinking 'so glad I'm not on the receiving end of this' 🤣

They have a consultancy program too, where they pay a group of players to test and advise on new killers and changes etc. Hens is part of it, and I know a bunch of other streamers are too. Dowsey used to be a paid consultant until he quit the game. Not sure how much say they actually have though in the final product, but just wanted to point out that they definitely have people who play the game alot and understand it better than most to advise them.

Kinda wild, I was convinced the Antidote plume speed and the Tonic lingering effects changes were gonna be reverted... or if not reverted, at least met half way at 1.5s for both.
Honestly I figured only the reload speed/ walk speed changes and the Antidote speed boost changes were gonna stay when all was said and done...
Silly. I suppose this doesn't really affect high level Clowns already using combos of Antidote and Tonic at tiles that much... but scrub Clowns (like myself) are gonna be pretty obnoxious... 😐

It's the only explanation for all of it. No way there's that many people that don't know the game. All it takes is one entity in the chain of command to shut it all down. But it's all just speculation on my part, I wasn't there.

on paper yes, however the haste buffs are proving to be a lot stronger than expected, I imagine they’ll nerf his speed add-ons soon to compensate for the base kit buffs to his pee bottles.

So true. It's sad I gotta stop playing my P100 boi because of the changes. He had 2 powers….he practically only has 1 now. Boring, boring, boring. They destroyed pinks so greatly, there's no reason to ever even throw them now. Just throw instantly activated yellows at feet and hold W while moving 132% with sticky soda bottle and cheap gin the whole time. It's embarrassing even going in games doing that nonsense being P100 Clown. I refuse. And because of the destruction of pinks, the big brained way of playing him has fully diminished. Flexibility, diminished. Skill expression he had, diminished. They did Clown BAD!!!! Guess people hated those pinks that bad for this to be the end product. That's crazy. Such a brainless, braind dead ahh killer now.

Fr, I watched a stream last night and out of the fifteen matches they played, they went against at least five Clowns, and they all did the same thing. Just broke the yellow bottles at their feet and just zoomed after survivors, like complete no-brain tactics, and it worked because you couldn't out-loop him, because he was just so fast. I have honestly lost all respect for anyone who plays Clown in his current state.
Ofc those matches were quick as well because the survivor teammates would try to run interference for the person being tunnled, but still. It was so low skill and uninteractive, I was surprised that the Clown players were even enjoying themselves. Like there's only so much of "lmao, this is so busted lololol." That a person can actually laugh at before getting bored right?

It hurts my soul what they did to Clown. i went against this twitch streamer yesterday with a 40 win streak on him last I checked. Dude tunneled every….single….game HARD using sticky soda bottle with cheap gin. Almost used not a single pink. Before the changes, you at least had the option to either play him braindead (only spamming pinks) or play him big brained (utilized both bottles with strategic measures all the time). These changes….you can only play him braindead now since his pinks are just that trash. I downright refuse to do that shid and I definitely lost all respect for anyone that plays him now. That's all you CAN do with this new Clown.

I don’t find it easy to win consistently as killer. My kill rate is slightly above the 60% average. Some matches are easy, sure, but many of them are incredibly challenging with plenty of 0 or 1K matches to offset the easy ones. Based on other threads I see many others saying the same thing. What are we doing wrong? It would be very helpful if you could show us some of your killer gameplay so we can learn your secrets to “winning easily”. What’s your kill rate? I assume if you are easily winning every match it has to be well above 60%.

Whats up with the trend of bhvr to want killers to require no skill.
1 -
At least with pink bottles you rely on predicting the survivor's pathing which is a form of skill expression. Throwing down a piss bottle to zoom around a filler pallet isn't skillful.

I literally just had this combination and genuinely you'd think the clown was speed hacking - i'm returning to the game after a break and it's actually a joke lol. Feels miserable to play so i'll be taking another break lol
