    I don't think thats a huge reason to play as him when there is a new killer in the ptb

    if it was a major change to clown more people would be playing him

    Haven't had a chance due to queue times, but as a former Clown main, that's a massive buff to his power.

    There were previously many situations where his power wouldn't actually do anything if a survivor understood him and made no effort to respect the throw or the gas. You would be forced into taking a feather add-on just to make his power a net positive in a straight line situation.

    The workaround to the speed curve was to counter-rotate the loop after throwing so the survivor would also be slowed while you were slowed. Not only does this free up what used to be a nearly mandatory add-on slot at higher level play, it opens up more possibilities to use his power effectively.

    I was gonna hop on Nurse and see what new delightful game-breaking bugs we got with this patch but the wait time is too damn long for that.
