    -> Start with 5 bottles.

    -> Allow reloading of bottles at normal speed.

    -> Flask of Bleach added to base kit.

    -> Addition to base kit: Throw gas bottle at a gen that has been worked on. The next time it's worked on, emits a gas cloud and explodes the gen for 5%.

    More slowdown or longer duration for the slow. And a faster reload, this guy stands still for 20-30s over the match. How can you not get genrushed.

    Completely preventing pallets and windows being used? That’d be ridiculous, at least Doctor has to time his shock.

    Effect the player vision to make evading the killer harder. Give them tunnel vision, or disable head movement so they need to PHYSICALLY turn around to see where the killer is.

    Maybe have their movements be similar to that of the killer while a survivor struggles... little random jerks side to side, so they collide with objects more frequently making looping more difficult.

    Disable tracking perks, specifically spine chill during the chase.

    Right now, being "intoxicated" doesn't really matter. There is a very brief slowdown, but otherwise I can't say its really that noticeable.

    Starling Feather basekit. Flask of Bleach base kit. Yellow reload add on basekit. Remove the grunt from window vaults. Basically, if they want his entire identity to be a chase killer, then he should be better at chases than at least half of the killer roster. He's the worst performing killer on all platforms, yet not a peep has been mentioned about buffs. It's baffling.

    I'm not sure what they could do to make him better, but I want to see the chonky boi be better :(

    maybe different concoctions in his bottle that cause different effects?

    I would love this... however it would literally make him just a plain better Doctor. I'd say make the +5% extra slowdown base and maybe the exposed one, but I don't wanna go overboard. Just make his bottles feel like they're actually doing something.

    The fastest and easiest fix would just to be increase the slow of his gas, the duration and improve reloading time.

    There's a bunch of various things you could do to spice things up;

    • Hitting a survivor directly with a bottle douses them in the Afterpiece Tonic, making survivors leave a trail of gas after leaving the cloud for an additional 1-2 seconds.
    • Reloading bottles releases gas around the Clown.
    • The longer a survivor says in the gas, the longer the duration will be.
    • Intoxicated survivors cannot see the red stain.
    • Remove the ######### vaulting noise the Clown makes when jumping through windows.

    Those would be some nice changes, but how dare you insult the lad's vault noise, it isn't his fault he has breathing problems from all that gas!

    It ruins his ability to perform mind-games around windows because he's literally telling everyone that he's vaulting.

    All jokes aside, that's very fair. I'd either like to see him grunt more often in chases or just ditch the window vault grunt.
