What ever happened to the devs buffing charge times with the change to tinkerer perk?
I remember before the mid chapter patch released the devs said that with the change to tinkerer they planned to buff the charge times for the killers to compensate for the loss of tinkerer. Hag and trapper it dosent matter since they already got that buff but stalky boi, billy willy, mr tum tums and a few others have yet to get a charge time buff. Are the devs going to make good on their word to slighty buff charge times or was it a lie?

I bet they only said they would buff charge times to keep people from melting down about tinkerer being changed. The only reason i was on board with the tinkerer change was because they promised to buff charge times to compensate.

A big ol' lie :c

The Devs could just be being really slow about it (like with everything) but the fact they haven't mentioned it in a while makes it seem like they dropped the idea.

It’s just like when they mentioned they would make it to where no one could see the killers add-ons and perks until the match was completely done2

Been a month now and we still havent heard anything yet about them buffing the charge times to compensate for the loss of the old tinkerer. McClean mentioned they would do this during the QA before the mid chapter patch and still nothing.

They're also "nerfing DS" though the latest patch notes show by "nerf" they mean buff. So...Its disconcerting how the whole increase charge times they promised was just brushed under the rug.

yeah, leatherface in particular got screwed over big time1

They buffed Hag and Trapper speeds and nerfed Huntress. Billy and Nurse do not need it. I'm sure if they felt it was necessary for Wraith they would have done it. Freddy, Pig and Clown never had effects from it. We'll see if they think MM, Doc and LF need the changes (LF definitely does but idk about the other two).
10% of like a second or two is miniscule. Hardly ever saw anyone even run Tinkerer before the rework anyway.2 -
Doc kind of needs it too, because his shock range add ons are unusable except for the moldy electrode, the timing is too offset to make it useful. Tbh they could just nerf the base speed and up the base shock range bit the trade off should be better than it is now for sure. Either way i guess the doc is in a good spot so he probably doesn't NEED it, hut i think the add ons shoukd be .ore fun tbh2

Eh - they also said they're going to work on every killers addons, which is when I assume these speed changes will happen, I agree if this is the case they've done it in the wrong order - change addons, change tinkerer would have been the better way to go about it.

It does look like they are moving through the whole roster of killers and giving their addons a look. Maybe then we will see it. I just find it odd they didn't mention anything more on it. It just sort of faded into the background.

miliseconds can be critical especially with Myers and leatherface
it's the difference between a one hit down or the survivor getting to another pallet1 -
They’re either planning to do this in a future patch or they lied in order to keep people from complaining.1
