Cannibal needs changes.
At current state of Dead By Daylight Cannibal isn't strong enough for players that do not main this Killer.
I would suggest a few changes to make Leatherface much better to plas as and more frightening to play against.
1) Let's fix his Acceleration Bug. He shouldn't reach Chainsaw Sweep maximum speed when 60% of his first charge used. It applies a hidden penalties for duration addons and make him much weaker.
Let's bring back his old Chainsaw Sweep Acceleration. He should reach Chainsaw Sweep maximum movement speed after 0.6 seconds. It does not apply any hidden penalties to his addons and makes him much better in chase in some situations.
2) Let's increase his Chainsaw Sweep movement speed a little bit. The main hurting thing at current Cannibal is his movement speed while in Chainsaw Sweep state. Current speed with acceleration penalty is very heavy and Cannibal without movement speed addons like Beast's Marks is very weak.
Let's increase his Chainsaw Sweep movement speed from 5.29 m/s to 5.44 m/s.
3) He needs some addons changes:
Here is the list of useless addons or addons that actually nerf him.
Long Guide Bar / The Grease / Shop Lubricant / Depth Gauge Rake / Carburetor Tunning Guide.
Long Guide Bar - let's add a new effect
Increases Chainsaw Revving movement speed by 4.5%.
The Grease
Decreases Chainsaw cooldown after missed Chainsaw Attack by 0.4 seconds per each Token used.
Shop Lubricant
Breaking a Pallet with a Chainsaw apply Hindered (4%) Status Effect for Survivors within 16 meters.
Depth Gauge Rake
Let's remove movement speed penalty - that's all.
Carburetor Tunning Guide
Let's remove movement speed penalty.

Forgive my manners, but Bubba isn't weaker overall, in fact he was way weaker before (breakdown below)
https://youtu.be/6IfP5tDAGCo?si=QBPbZewEYayUwIGYHe is already very strong in the right hands, with an insta-down basekit (alongside little punishment for missing if not colliding with something and full mobility alongside a generous hitbox that can hit over vaults) and the fastest pallet-break in the game, not to mention the best camper in the game by far (especially for basement since the anti-facecamping system doesn't really function through floors which means Bubba can simply back away just enough to keep the basement entrance in sight but far enough to prevent the AFC from doing it's job, essentially guaranteeing a kill).
It's true that a few of his add-ons are bugged and those would need fixing, but Bubba himself doesn't. He used to be barely able to cross Killer shack with his chainsaw sweep (although even with a harsh distance limit, insta-downs are still very powerful) and now his chainsaw can almost be used as mobility (although not very discreet and not to the extent of Hillbilly).
His pickrate has recently plummeted and that's only because facecamping isn't really possible anymore (the timing for his lower pickrate is too precise with the AFC release to be a coincidence) which means his main playstyle is effectively gone outside of basement (it's still a toxic, boring and unhealthy way to play, in fact it's likely in no small part because of all those players that the AFC even exists).
He doesn't need a buff but he could use a small add-on pass.
I read that and I am pretty sure you haven't played Cannibal on higher level. On higher level you just need Beast's Marks addon. Without it Bubba is weak. I don't know why are you talking about old-old Bubba. Current Bubba needs a slightly increased movement speed while in Chainsaw Sweep state and that's a fact. I am on of the best Bubbas in this game and I need Beast's Marks to at least compete against better players. My whole idea about buffing him is only increase his movement speed and fix his acceleration. That's all. And of course addons changes.
