LF Shouldn't have Multi Down
LF's Multidown mechanic is way to toxic & face camp friendly..I'd rather see the Cannibal get a buff in other areas to take that out of his kit.

It's the only thing iconic about him. It seems fine to me.

It's the only thing he's got going for him to correct (and agree with) the above.
He actually needs those buffs though, but if he could only chainsaw 1 survivor he'd basically be a worse billy...oh wait.

What... what will his power be? A camping LF is wasting his time against a half-competent group of Survivors. Just do gens.

Its fine, otherwise hed just end up a another clone of other killers, like hillbilly

If you see a Leatherface camping, dont unhook anyone. Problem solved, he will most likely get 1 Kill. Sucks for this person on the Hook, but unsafe Unhooks vs Leatherface are a No-Go.
And well, try not to go down near the Basement.

It's the only thing he's got going for him, unfortunately.
I'd much rather see a change than a nerf.

Leatherface suffers from 2 things in his kit:
1) Slowdown during revving - you can only use power when there is no vault/pallet in proximity which is veeery rare
2) Long tantrum when bumping into things - hitbox of chainsaw is pretty wide, so you need to make bigger circles around things or you will end up in tantrum and lose distance.
Possible solutions:
1) Remove slowdown or add dash at start of chainsaw attack to regain distance, like Wraith does after uncloak.
2) Remove tantrum or add ability to cancel it, so you can use it as intended feature, bumping into things wishfully to close up choke point and hit ppl around you.
Hitting multiple ppl is fine feature, you just never use it apart from camping hook or basement, which smart survs will not allow.
LF camps mostly cause his chases are very bad due useless power in loops and vaults. If he can use his power more consistently - camping will go away.

Let's see we already got Pig and Legion. Let's murder nurse next for nurse appreciation week!

You realize the OP said to buff other things of LF right. He/She said that they get rid of the multidown and add buffs to other areas of LF. Sounds pretty good to me... his multi hit down really never actually happens like....ever. Only against dumb survivors does he get at most 2 people down (which i won't lie whenever that happens it feels pretty nice).
Buffs I like to see on him are like what Frozenscum mentioned earlier to make the chainsaw faster in a sense and do something about his tantrum (which is more iconic than the multidown because it is a reference to the ending of the first Texas chainsaw massacre).

Come on, people paid good money for a guaranteed face camp win 😜

Last time I checked survivors needed to make mistakes to end up on the hook. 🤔

or free hooks from hitboxes

survivors continue to spout the "hitboxes" meme despite hitboxes never being the problem, interesting!

have you played survivor? because if you actually watch other people play, or play yourself you'd notice that 9 times out of 10 a hit connects that shouldn't have reached you in the first place. Even from dedicated servers on the last PTB that did not change anything with it being a "peer to peer ping issue" survivors hitboxes are messed up.

Yes I agree
While we are at it, lets cut his balls off as well, what is left anyway?

I ran around a pillar twice on the Temple of Purgation map and avoided his hits at close range. His power can be countered if the game works in your favor.
I think his chainsaw hits should be 4-5 hits at max, not 6, but that's just my opinion.

Alternatively make it so his saw has a longer duration that resets the sprint duration if you hit a survivour.
Now that will make actually multi hitting possible.

The problem with this concept is, why nerf the multi-down in the first place? Its not like Legion where you can buff something and becomes broken, so you nerf something else. The multi-down isnt something that prevents LF from getting buffed. He just straight up sucks. He doesnt need "balance" changes, he needs buffs.

PTB dedicated servers test was only about testint the load. Hit detection was in an unfinished state.
@Topic I don't see a huge issue with LF multidown. Yes, it rarely happens in chase scenarios that you hit more than one survivor or pallet. And I know it makes LF quite stron in the basement and camp scenarios. But LF is currently in need for adjustments, that should be considered first. Removing the multihit should be an afterthought.

Mutli-down is literally the only unique thing about him. If anything, he'd need a buff or two.
2 -
Dude, without that multi-down, he becomes the worst killer in the whole Dead by Daylight history, even worst than Freddy!
1 -
I was just going with what the OP said. Really the multi-down does nothing so no reason to really get rid of it. It was just because of the concept of face camping and it being near impossible to get them off. But yeah i see no harm in keeping the multi-down really

He's currently worse than Freddy.

what do you mean?
Bubbas have a highly complex thought process they need to go through while playing!
2 -
Who would win, a team of four made of veterans, athletes, fighters, and super natural survivors. Or some basement boi.

What, should Buba's Chainsaw put himself into the dying state instead?

Can I ask a question? (I'mma ask anyways :P)
Besides basements and hook rescues, when does a Leatherdaddy ever actually hit more then one person?
0 -
Is- Is he actually serious? Is this person actually- What? How the- What the [Curse]? I'm sincerely confused, why the f### would you think this is a good idea? I'm pretty sure he's good where he is. He might need a few tweaks, but WHY would you gut the only thing GOOD about Leatherdaddi?

I'd love to see the multi-hit replaced with some sort of rampaging anti-loop mechanic.
