Why nerfing a B tier killer while Nurse, Blight, Dracula, Singularity ect exist who are way stronger?
Yes Nurse is good but shes way hard to master you only encounter like a actual nurse which there is no counterplay for like once in a month blight has so much counter tech if you master them its way easier to play against a good blight but clown anyone can master him and he is so powerful even if you dont how to play him that well hes still so powerful
Nurse and Blight are harder to play so they are stronger, clown is a bit easier to play but not nearly as strong. There is actually things clown has to think of to play, not brainless bottle spam, like cutting of loops by preplacing, predicting where survivors will go and combining his bottles. And anyone can master any killer with enough motivation and practice.
then why do people successfully play against him and escape him all the time?
is it actually impossible or are you imposing your own skill shortcomings upon everyone else like they also are unable to handle an average killer?
Do you wanna see the 300 page clown guide?
If the bottles hindered him too then they'd be literally pointless. He has counter play, you can't loop him in the traditional sense. With clown it's about the three Ps prerunning, pre dropping and pathing, transferring between two strong tiles, using strong vaults and not getting trapped on a dodgy tile
Killers do not need to be designed where using their own power is an active detriment. Even if Clown was actually broken and needed to be nerfed, this would be a terrible way to address his power.
I'm going to be harsh on this. Skill issue. Clown is debatably at his weakest since they made 6 bottles base as pallet density just screws up his game plan of "ok if they run to the next tile they're dead" due to the slow bottle + speed bottle but now a pallet every 15 feet so setting up has gotten significantly harder especially when they nerfed the base kit hinder, flask of bleach and ether 15% vol while also hitting the base hinder duration.
By all intents and purposes clown is a noob stomper.
Nobody would use clown if his own bottles hurt him. He would be skull merchant levels of bad if that happened.
Your friendly neighboorhood Clown main from Twitter here, hi! 🖐️
That would be the most horrible nerf in DbD history. You COULD argue that he need his hinder lower by 1% base kit if anyting or nerf Bleach to 3% (Currently 4%). Outside of that, Clown is fine where he is. If anything, this is a hot take than a topic, lol.
Anyhow, If you read some of the comments, they already stated Clown's counterplay. Pre-running and pre-dropping pallets THEN hold more W. Not to mention that pallet density hurts him since you can chain tile's with one another, pre-droping as you go. See him re-loading his bottles? You have 2.5 secs (3 secs w/ Either 15%) to hold W while he's reloading. You just don't loop Clown on short tyles since his yellow will boost him up, throw a pink on the other side of the loop then clap your ass cheeks before you even drop that pallet or vault it.
The reason why he loses some of his matches is that he lacks map pressure. Meaning if 3 survivors are doing seperate gens, Clown will have a difficult time to make a come back. So keep that in mind.
Conclusion:
Clown hindering himself from his own power is a horrible idea and his pick rate will plumet to 1%. That and he'll be back down to F tier next to Trapper.
Not saying hinder him as much as his bottles hinder the survivor like a 3-5% hindered for as long he is in the smoke and if he leaves it goes away
