Pleeeeease buff Leatherface

in General Discussions

So I have mad a few discussions calling for LF buffs but now i'm gonna resort to straight up begging.

Please, please, please buff LF, he is such a poorly designed killer with the clunkyness of his ability to his add-ons. I know people will probably say to play Billy but I love Leatherface in the movies and I want him to be awesome in this game.

I know that Freddy and Wraith are top priority right now and that is fine because they need it, all I am asking is that after that, LF becomes priority because he NEEDS it badly.

    Agreed, after Freddy and Wraith he needs to be looked at.

  • ChesterTheMolester ChesterTheMolester
    LF and Piggy need some help, both should get something to promote more aggressive playstyles.
  • Facefullofleather Facefullofleather
    Even if they just re worked his add-ons it would be a welcome change. The chili ones aren't very helpful and beast marks is hard to use now that tinkerer can't counter the longer charge time. 
  • Tsulan Tsulan

    I agree. He needs some buffs and his own add-ons. Maybe something that allows for different playstyles.
    Like add-ons to:

    • chase faster
    • charge faster
    • reduce terror radius
  • feffrey feffrey
    The only buff he deserves is to be removed from the game
  • Facefullofleather Facefullofleather
    Or maybe the next killer is going to be Leatherface AGAIN so he's in there twice for no reason!

    Is Leatherface super easy for good survivors to kite or am I still needing practice? When I play him against good survivors, I just feel like a fat guy chasing a carrot on a stick.

    Yes, good survivors have no problem with him.

    Only bad survivors fear him.

    I could get behind a buff/rework (namely to get rid of the "I facecamp" meta and give him more power in a chase). Though I would definitely rather see Freddy/wraith first.

    That buff is simple just remove him from the game

    Neither leatherface nor freddy need any buffing both are pretty op if played by a skilled killer. There are even videos out there that prove that you can get easily 3-4ks with both of them without perks against Rank 1 survivors. Faced so many killers that wrecked the booty of survivors with both. The only killer that needs some buffing is Wraith.
  • DocFabron DocFabron
    Not quite sure what could be done to buff him, but I agree.

    What skill is required to play Leatherface and Freddy?

    Lol Yeah leather face is God tier face camping if you mean that skill.

    I think he should get a perk around face camping.

    Hook a survivor and the longer yiu stand their reveals all survivors at the cost of not being able to see Gens. Lol

    We get it, you die and make butthurt threads and posts a lot, attempting to find some other reason for your failures but “skill”.

    You can stop with the daily salt please. ty

    I'd like to see that slowdown when he revs taken away.

    Sure but Wraith and Freddy first.
    Bubba can be buffed along with Amanda after those two.

    There are also videos of how a single survivor loops a killer for 5 gens without any perks. Or how a survivor hits great skill checks only while ruin is active. So that means that all survivors are OP, ruin needs a buff, skill checks need to be harder and looping should be nerfed, right?

    Ohh wait, yes. If a survivor loops a killer for so long, it means the killer is bad.
    But if a killer does a 3-4 kill on rank 1 it means the killer is OP. Never could it be, that the survivors are bad.

    Sorry it has been a couple of days since I was on, im gonna try to respond to most of this!

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Yeah thats the thing, he is only good at camping so I want to be more aggressive with him.

    Yeah, he needs to get the new Wraith treatment with add-ons that are more unique to him rather than hust most of them being Billy add-ons. I think his Chilli should stay, the issue with it is that his acceleration is useless, thus that makes the chilli useless. Buff his acceleration and you then will naturally be buffing his chilli add-ons.

    Like add-ons to:

    These are actually changes I have asked for before, I know that LF is MEANT to be the close range punisher, but he isn't right now. these kind of buffs along with a rework to his add-ons would be great.

    Yeah like I say I am fine with Freddy and Wraith getting buffed first I mainly just want them to look at LF after that.

    @Doc_W__HOLLIDAY said:

    The buffs would simply come around to making him MUCH more reliable at close range with his chainsaw, and perhaps giving him something extra to help with loops.

  • ASpazNamedSteve ASpazNamedSteve

    Yeah he should definitely be priority after Wraith and Freddy, in my personal opinion.

    It sucks that the only reason most people play him is to facecamp.

    Yeah, especially when in the movies he is actually quite a relentless chaser ironically.

    I never get why so many camp with him. I find him to be a pretty good chaser, a lot of survivors do not know how to juke his chainsaw and go instantly down, I find hillbilly to be easier to escape from imo. 
  • Venom Venom

    They just need to remove the base slow down when revving the chainsaw and adjust the add-ons to better suit him, because as of now he’s pretty much reusing all of Hillbilly’s, and he’ll be in so much of a better place. They could also even reduce the charge time at a base. I think they could even do a whole rework but just taking away that alone would make him somewhat viable until they get around to it. I love Leatherface as a character too but I think he is one of worst killers right now next to Pig, after Freddy and Wraith of course, so I truly hope they actually do something.

  • Sandt21 Sandt21
    I would argue that leatherface is the best defensive killer in the game. No one will ever be able to facecamp or slug better then old leatherhead.
  • Acromio Acromio

    There are a couple of changes that could really help Leatherface -maybe I'll make my own thread with these suggestions.

    • Reduce his terror radius -since Leatherface is supposed to punish bad positioning, a smaller terror radius could really benefit him.
    • Reduce the baseline charge time for his chainsaw OR reduce the speed penalty he gets by performing this action -currently one of his biggest, if not the biggest, weakness.
    • Change his chainsaw attack so it doesn't stop after breaking a pallet.
    • Look at his "acceleration" stat and its related addons, because he's currently slower than he's supposed to be during the chainsaw attack.

    Personally I wouldn't want LF to keep swinging after breaking a pallet. The survivors would adapt to that very quickly. He would be especially weak to Lithe.

    I like your other ideas tho! Definitely needs a smaller terror radius.
  • brokedownpalace brokedownpalace
    Also it would be cool if once you mori'd a survivor you wore their face for the rest of the match (or until the next mori).
  • Mister_xD Mister_xD

    I'd say his chainsaw defenitely needs a bigger range... like, its impossible to hit someone with it (no add ons), unless you are standing right next to them...

    The thing is LF doesn't need a lot of work just for his add ons to be meaningful and chainsaw pallet stuns to be fixed. He should be like a unstoppable maniac when he is reving that chainsaw and you should see your life flash before your eyes when you hear it.

    These are literally all the changes I want done to him.

    True, but realistically we want him to have MUCH better offensive capabilities

    Yup, close range dominator is what he should be.

    Eh, I'd argue he needs a little more than that. The problem is that he's a nerfed Billy. Everything Leatherface can do Billy can do way better aside from facecamping. Facecamping is the one and only thing Leatherface can do better.

    He doesn't require a total re-work just one or two improvements to make him better like:

    A 24 meter terror radius. Make him a stealthier Billy. That would be cool as hell.

    Modifying the slow down when revving the saw. Make it so he's slowed after 3-4 seconds of revving. That way he'd be better at nailing them around vaults and pallets.

    And there's fun and interesting things you could do like him having a built-in Mangled system where when he hooks someone they have the Mangled effect until fully healed.

    Or when he breaks a pallet with the saw he receives a speed boost. Or hitting them with the saw gives him a speed boost.

    That and yes, fixing his add-ons. Make the Chili do something noticeable. I'm convinced it's bugged but schmucks swear up and down that it isn't and it increases his velocity or something. As-is the effects of Chili do nothing that benefits him. The add-ons that increase his speed (the engravings?) are superfluous. The status effect add-ons have a time limit because reasons. And like Billy he has no Ultra Rares.

    Giving killers a unique effect when they do something, like you say with LF mangleing people when he hooks them would be a really cool feature
