K, but isn't the new killer just a worse Huntress?

Like, the Huntress can down people immediately, even on the opposite side of a pallet.

    You can spear people on the other side of the pallet and hurt them and if they were injured they get downed if you EDIT: hit them in the "reel animation"

    Example: Go to 03:14

    You can only hurt people with the hook, not down them

    I'm guessing you mean the spear and yes, you have to hit them to down them, I mean, land the spear, reel them towards you and then hit them to down, true

    No they don't, the get deep wounded. It's still a waste of the survivors time having to mend before healing, but not much of a waste, and since DW was changed to no longer deplete as long as the survivor is running, no one ever goes down to it. However, It is possible to spear someone while they are DW'd and it'll deplete a bit while you have them, so if the DW timer was low when you speared them, and you are on the other side of a dropped pallet, technically the Timer will deplete and down them in that very rare circumstance.

    The only real advantage Deathslinger has over Huntress is the ability to fish survivors off of roofs and hills. Sure huntress can down them while they are on those, but then she has to go up to get them, whereas Deathslinger can just yank them down to him. Another advantage I've noticed is using his ability to pull them away from loops, pallets, and the gates. Huntress just downs them at those, and if they were about to reach a pallet, or escape through the gate, then they just crawl the rest of the way. Deathslinger denies them this, and any advantages being slugged under a pallet would've given them. Otherwise, yeah, he's not much better than Huntress, but at least he doesn't have to reload at lockers, and doesn't seem to slow down while aiming down the sites.

    Deathslinger compares more to Clown than he does Huntress
