The Clown is COMPLETE GARBAGE!
- No way to aim your bottle throws properly.(Lack of any aiming crosshair)
- Slow as hell.
- Just when you think you know where your bottle is going to land it flies waaay the hell off in the distance.
And they call him "intermediate" difficulty?! He's basically a killer without a damned power!

He is #########, but not for the reasons you said. Here is where he stands.
Low Tiers: Clown, Leatherface, Wraith, Freddy, Legion.
His bottles just take some getting used to. By my guess I would say you haven't done over 5 games with him so definitely just you need to get used to his power's weird arc. Even then if you can't direct hit the bottles you can still use the gas to cut off paths a survivor might want to take.
Well in other words. *clears throat*
You just need a bit of practice with those throws. Sure, Clown is not the strongest out there, but you can still mess them up once you get the hang of it. Unfortunately, you must have decent addons every time, otherwise Clown is indeed very weak. But some browns and yellows should do the trick.
I love it when people call 115% movement speed killers slow. It's like they just come up with things without doing research just to have the argument. Heard someone call the plague slow too. lmao
git gud my chases with clown dont last more than 30 secs hes the best anti looper use enduring and spirit fury for extra salt
Well she technically is slow with the nerf to her walking revolving her puke xD
He moves at the same speed as most other killers 115%.
His bottles are easy to aim with practice (just like hunter hatchets, only hers don't explode into a cloud of gas)
The bottle arch is annoying as hell and I still haven't gotten use to it...but its possible.
Clown is pretty great. You don't even need to HIT the survivors with the bottles. Just throw them in their general direction and slow the ######### out of them so you can hit them. GGEZ.
When you can't get more than 2 kills from tunneling people instead of gitting gud and being gen rushed and SWF/DS/P3 Claudette has been complained about enough.
115% speedd to slou3
Finishing what @Incirion said, I believe the smartest clowns are not the ones who aim the bottles in a path for you to follow, they get easy to predict and avoid in some areas. The smartest ones are the ones who block loops before they get close enough to initiate a chase. You can't last very long in a chase with those clowns and unfortunately they're rarer than coming across a clown to begin with!
Just when you're close enough for the survivor to hear your terror radius but not close enough for it to be loud/fast/obnoxious, just throw a bottle where they have the best advantage in starting a loop while you're going towards them and by the time you get near enough for them to get off a gen/totem/stealth/wandering-about, they either have to take the loop from a risky side first or go through the cloud you made for the better side, either way the chase just lost a few seconds or minutes (regardless of your skill level imo.)
he isn't bad, normal MS, can end chases within a reasonable time due to his bottles, yes it takes time to aim the bottles but that comes with practice.. missing alot is gonna hurt you. he is best anti looper dude.. plus it depends on the addons the clown uses.
Clown is a Killer specifically designed to fight looping and mindgames.
you will find out where he throws his bottles with a little experience.
also, he is by no means slow. he has the basic 115% Killer movement speed, which means he is walking just as fast as the majority of Killers. His Bottles also slow down Survivors, so he can catch up even quicker.
He is build for chases and should not be underestimated, otherwise he can easily stomp the Survivors.
The only thing he really lacks in is map pressure. he has literally none of that, so getting gen rushed as Clown is something that can easily happen.
He is not bad. Good Mid-tier to lower Top-tier.
Slow. If the clown is slow, who to you is fast?
I play plague and hag. Due to the hags height and steps it takes to move forward, it looks like she is running like a lightning bolt. We all know that this is obviously not the case as she sits at 110%.
When I am playing the plague, I feel like I am crawling. She also towers over survivors, now being the tallest killer in the game with her hat on (a title formerly taken by Myers). It feels terribly slow... but she is at 115%, which is faster than the Hag.
What you perceive and feel is not always true. The clown is just an absolute mammoth of a person, but in reality he’s right up there with speed.
Yeah, now he's so bugged that he's basically unplayable. Bottles randomly exploding in his hand, survivors not getting slowed and not being prevented from fast vaulting when affected by the gas, the Clown himself getting slowed when he throws a bottle, and I'm pretty sure I missed at least other 3-4 bugs that completely screw him over.
He's good xDD lol crybaby
COME TELL THAT TO MY FA...COUGH*COUGH*cough*cough*.... nevermind...
