Chainsaw

MasterChaos

So, recently I,ve been playing against a lot of chainsaw killers and everytime they just seem to get right on your booty cheeks and rev up their chainsaw. Only problem is they can hold it for however long they desire. I think the devs need to make it so when it’s fully rev’d it just automatically goes. What do you guys think?

I would be ok with a rev timer for Bubba (due to his ability to secure a hook kill without any skill or counter), but not Hillbilly. Hillbilly's chainsaw still requires some measure of skill to hook camp. Bubba's should force him into his tantrum if he holds it down too long without canceling or attacking with it.

Did you just ask for a Bubba nerf?

I'm not sure I see what the problem is here outside of when Billy or LF decides to hard camp a survivor.

If they are endlessly revving their saws, Billy still has to aim and Leatherface will actually suffer a movement speed penalty and begin losing distance (plus both can be dodged with some care). Heck, LF suffers the equivalent of a brief stun if he cancels his chainsaw before swinging it.

The only way I could see this being implemented in a reasonable way was if this 'auto-completion' of the chainsaw rev ONLY occurred once the rev meter had reached like 95% full. Something like that would probably feel like a buff to Leatherface actually, given how easy it is to mess up split-second saw attacks (releasing right as the bar is filled is pretty much a 50/50 toss up of whether the attack actually begins or gets canceled).

No no changes necessary

Bubba is a hard case. Since he's known as the facecamping killer buffing him would be a terrible idea.

Buuut he's also a facecamping killer because he's weak so they'd need to buff him for this to stop.

...And then these 2 points go round in a loop...

I agree with GoshJosh, Billy doesn't need changing but the only way to stop Bubba's from their camping behaviour would be to get rid of the ability to keep the chainsaw up forever. They could still buff him in other ways, but make him like any average camper.

He is also both weak and known for facemaping because he is often used by new players for barbecue.

the fact that the grab system in this game is still bugged after 3 months and when you try to grab a survivor the animation plays for the first second and then the grab completely fails 98% of the time the last thing the devs should do is implement this nerf as bubba is the only substitute for a grab system that works when survivors rescue other survivors from the hook or vault or ledge over pallets/windows . also you are just asking the devs to allow survivors to be more toxic since they body block most games and bubba can stop that with his chainsaw by a radius hit rather then billy by hitting a specific survivor which fails 60% of the time when you want to hit the survivor rescuing the hooked survivor rather then the hooked survivor with borrowed time . also people use hacks to make billy miss with the chainsaw and those do not apply for bubbah so it would also make it less toxic to remove bubbas rev in that sense where he can use his chainsaw attack when he decides rather then like billy where he attacks and if it fails you waste a huge amount of time due to the survivor using hacks which makes you miss him/her . so I do not agree with your suggestion as it won't fix any problems and allow more toxicity in the game .
