How do we Feel About the Upcoming Balance Changes?
This set of balance changes should be arriving with the next PTB, if I'm not mistaken, the main highlight being the nerf to Sloppy Butcher and the Mangled status in general. According to one of the Reddit AMAs that we had recently the Killer changes specified won't be anything big like what we got for Hillbilly or Onryo recently, probably minor changes to their add-ons/power. What are your predictions for how these things are going to get changed and what would you like to see? Do you think Mangled/Sloppy needs to be nerfed?
Hopefully we get some buffs to Pig's stealth and ambush, and fixes to Huntress' abysmal hitboxes. Not really sure what to expect for the other four Killers though.

It's only a good solo queue stomper because people refuse to take any steps to counter it, and I have a special grudge against those players getting Mangled/Sloppy nerfed because I am a solo queue player and desperately wish people would start running some goddamn altruism perks.
They're really good, guys!!!! For the love of god!!!!! This wouldn't be a problem if you'd make helping your teammates a reasonable priority in your builds and playstyle!
Your asking way to much of people...
Apparently so, but a gal can dream...
So, many good options as well. Botany, Desperate Measures, We'll Make It, Second Wind, and even the weaker ones aren't that bad of perks. But all I see are people running chase perks thinking they can 5 gen chases like they're Ayrun or JRM. Like this Solo Q bro that isn't going to happen.
What are you on about? Lately killer has never been easier and solo que has never been more brain meltingly abysmal. If you struggle with killer right now, I have bad news for you.
To be precise, the survivor perks mentioned are killed by Hemorrhage, which drains the heal progress, not Mangled, which only slows it.
I remember Puppers (RIP) suggesting that Sloppy Butcher be timed but the mangled add-ons be permanent, rather than the other way around that it once was.
I’m hoping Doctor will get a buff in the form of a shorter slowdown when he uses his power and the Illusions get a red stain and run towards survivors.
Yeah true, seems like an interesting choice.
Mangled depends on the length of the timer. If it's too short it could become useless but if it's too long then nothing really changed.
Huntress I don't understand why she is here. She's perfectly fine as she is. There are other killers way more in need of help than her. Unless it's just a change to make hatchet hitboxes not so frustrating to play against then it's alright, but if it's just straight buffs then I can see her becoming frustrating to deal with.
Pig I'm kinda scared of seeing buffed. She already can slow the game down a lot, and even more now with Grim Embrace, so if they buff her slowdown in anyway she will just drag games out. Her chase needs buffs but please don't touch her slowdown.
Clown I'm glad to see here but I don't know what I'm expecting from them.
Doctor I hope they make his range and detonation delay add ons base kit. And then adjust some of his add ons so they don't all feel the same.
Demo I'm assuming is here because of the STBFL nerf and this will be some sort of buff to Shred to compensate.
Sloppy... does this mean Sloppy is getting a change on top of the Mangled change? If so I hope it isn't too big of a nerf since it's pretty much the only good generic killer perk now that Jolt and Mind Breaker are no longer universal.
