Title. When you start to rev the chainsaw, theres a massive delay. Is this intentional?

    Maybe around 1 second, which is definetly enough to make the chainsaw useless when trying to curve in loops

    Dedicated servers.

    Killer powers need server confirmation to use. This adds a delay to using them. Billy, Huntress, Nurse, Demogorgon, ANY Killer that can flutter or partially charge their power has a delay now based on your ping. Making it much harder to get exact charge times to muscle memory as if you ping changes, your muscle memory is worthless.

    Shape and Ghostface get it the worst. They can simply fail to stalk someone right in front of them if the server doesn't allow them. Freddy has issues when snares taking longer than normal to activate. Hag and Trapper need to hold M2 a touch longer in order to finish their traps or cancel them. Clown's bottles feels like jank.

    But yeah. All of this is due to dedicated servers needing to confirm the Killer using his power and the Killer needing to wait for that confirmation before being allowed to use their powers.

    Thats awful. Its weird because the animation starts almost normally, after that it takes like a second for the charging bar to even start
