What's funny?
The Clown is a joke. The most useless ability in the game and everyone knows how that impacts his usefulness. He's pretty basic, boring and underwhelming. Here's a few sugestions to make his kit better :
On his Bottle throw, the scream is nice, but an uncontrolable laughter would fit the theme better.
Now, that's pretty basic, but it would make him more unique already. Second, the slow is underwhelming and the vision blur is not really impactfull. Here are a few things that would make it better. Reveal aura for as long as thei're affected, make them exhausted and oblivious.
Instead of taking forever to reload, make him reload by 1 with the blood of his victim everytime he hits someone.
That would free up the ctrl button for a new ability : Jack in the box. Start with 2 of these and place them like you would a trap. When a survivor would get near it, it pops open with a loud noise, balloons and confettis all over the place. Stoping the survivors in their tracks (maybe even fall on their asses) and making them scream and revealing their auras. The Clown could become excited by it and gain a short speed burst.
The trap can be disarmed and rearmed and be picked back up just like the trapper's traps. No additionnal Jack in the box on the map. You'ld have to go get them back if you want to relocate them.
I think these modifications would fit the clown theme and make him more fun, viable and unique.
