Freddy completely replaced Clown for me.
Freddy doesn't have any add-ons buffing his Dream Snares, but even without them his snares are much more powerful than Clown's Bottles:
- Freddy doesn't have to reload his Snares, Clown has only 4 Bottles by default and greatly slow downs himself while reloading
- Freddy doesn't slow down while he places his Snares, Clown has a cooldown after throwing a bottle
- Hindered Effect lasts for 3 seconds instead 1.5 without add-ons
Also Freddy can debuff Survivors in his Dream World and teleport to generators.
Yes, Clown can be strong with his purple and red add-ons, but any other Killer is strong with his very rare add-ons (except legion), so, its not an argument.
ohhh, Probably Clown now is the worst killer in Dead by Daylight, he is very dependent on his best add-ons, without them his is... nothing? Pig can stall the game, has a stealth mod and can completely trump some loops. Bubba is weak, but one shots save him, and with PWYF he becomes the beast.. What do you think?

Its the biggest joke of a killer in this game.

Clown can throw his bottles at a long distance.
Clown can hit multiple survivors at once.
Clown can deter peoples paths by simply throwing a bottle even if they dont hit.
Clown doesnt need them to be asleep to be affected.
You cant just compare raw numbers when situational circumstances change.

Clown has circumstances where he outshines Freddy. He can affect multiple Surviviors and can control area even without hitting someone.
Also Clown is not the worst killer. I'd give that title to the yummy mummy herself.

Clown needs something else in his kit. I hope they revisit him eventually.

- The bottles will occasionally explode in mid air or in his hand and they serve no purpose at extreme range since they don't really prevent survivors from doing anything. They will still have time to finsih a near complete gen or reach a safe loop.
- Hitting multiple survivors with the tonic also serve no purpose since it does not do any damage or has any lasting effect. You will have to chase one of them and the others will just leave.
- Good survivors will know if they can reach a safe pallet trough the gas. Its only good for detering from windows as the gas will make the survivor do a medium vault.
- Clown has only 4 bottles by default and need to reload wich take about 6 seconds during wich he can barely move. Freddy has functionally unlimited snares and does not slow down while placing them.
So yes indeed, the Clown can throw his bottles whenever he wants and ahead of the survivors. That make him better at catching up to survivors. Thats is the only thing he has over Freddy and pretty much the only thing he has at all.
Freddy can just spam snares around a loop to his heart's content with absolutly no drawback and get awareness from thoses scattered accross the map. He can set up traps in advance at common loops and quickly reposition himself accross the map. He also has better add-ons overall, adding utility and unpredictability to his kit, where Clown only get minor numerical increases from his own add-ons.
Laslty, yes Freddy's snares and pallets only affect survivor who are asleep. But the whole sleep cycle is there to force the survivors to waste some time (or progress if they chose to fail skill checks). And unlike the Old Fred, the relief is only temporary has the sleep cycle will restart on its own, and being hit by Freddy waste all the survivors efforts to wake up. So basicly Freddy force survivor to deal with his powers or risk waking up wich might be for naught if they get caught.

It's unfortunate too. I loved him sooo much on release, I just found his bottles to be super effective, in chase, but people got smart and the lack of map pressure just makes him too weak to be viable.

Seriously when clown get buff already?
He still have bottle bug and noone is even try to fix it or buff it
He's mostly completely forgotten already after freddy rework like why do you play clown when you can play freddy which is better anti-loop, map presure, lullaby confuse, can teleport and waste survivor time with sleep effect?
