Leatherface should have an audio cue, when each chainsaw charge is about to end.
Just because of addons that change the durations of his charges, thus making it hard to memorize all the timings and forcing you to look at the to not miss the end of the charge.
Or an Easier way: Holding ability button will automatically consume chainsaw tokens when they are about to end.

The audio cue may be a good idea but automatically consume tokens by holding the button is not, that will remove Leatherface's skill-ceiling.
The mechanic that Leatherface's player needs to press the power button to reset power duration is the main reason why he's different from Hillbilly and required skill to play now.
You better practice to memorize all the timings or just don't use the increased duration add-ons if you hate to memorize it, remember that Nurse existed and she has add-ons that can mess with the player's muscle memory.
Thats why i can't use addons on him. I memorized his addonless swing pattern and with addon im just ruining it.
What you call skill, I call a lot of extra work. I think the OP's idea of holding it down to consume more charges is as simple as it should have been in the first place. You exercise muscle memory just by playing killer.
Current Leatherface basically has killer skill checks, which is ridiculous. Imagine if Trapper or Huntress had to press a button as the survivor was about to get hit by their ability, or else the survivor just doesn't get hit by it. That's how silly timing the chainsaw charges is to me.
Then you won't have to do anything, but wait for an audio cue, great idea. I was a leatherface main prior to the change, but switched to spirit after she was released. I played leatherface occasionally after she was released. When they made the change, I really resented having to learn how to play him all over again. The idea of him being this easy to play doesn't seem fair. It is a one hit down afterall.
What do you mean "you won't have to do anything"? Its just unnecassary mechanic that forces you to look at the ui, instead watching for a survivor you are trying to chainsaw. Killer should learn how to play and mindgame a survivor, instead of memorizing all the different timings.
Leatherface is very unintuitive to new players, cause its hard for them to learn timings and they are forced to look at ui all the time.
This change will only slightly affect Experienced players and Tremendously affect New players.
LF should have both an audio and a visual queue just like Nurse's indicators.
The timings for each charge is counting the saws. 4 saws, use 1 charge, 3 saws, another charge.
Timings are different with addons. This is why i created this topic.
