Leatherface Discussion.
Starting off, this is a topic of anything on Leatherface, Bubba, whatever you call him, thought this out.
Leatherface's hugest weakness:
His Chainsaw speed is not at all fast, you are slower when charging so you want add ons for an insta Chainsaw, even then, your Chainsaw movement speed is 4.6 m/s or 115%, difficult to catch up so Survivors will drop pallets or run corners constantly.
Three thoughts on my mind to give Leatherface a minor buff to make him more reliable, to make him feel equal to Hillbilly rather than weaker feeling, the good ol' "Why play Leatherface when you can play Hillbilly" conversation. My proposition:
Make his movement speed while Chainsawing at 120% rather than 115%.
Give Leatherface a little speed boost at the beginning of his chainsaw, a little rush, a starting kick.
Make Hillbilly's movement speed while charging Chainsaw from 87.5% to 90% or 95%
I'll be commenting more of my in general thoughts of Leatherface as time passes.

Couldn't agree more. Poor Bubba is one of the most add-on reliant killers, and it shows. Big time. Doesn't help that his only cosmetic has him standing out like a sore thumb and you can hear him coming like a freight train. Give his base kit a slight uptick via a small % of those add-on dependent stats and he'd be so much better.
For me, I've noticed if you use Play with Your Food, it honestly really helps your chainsaw hits becoming more successful without hurting your Chainsaw charge time, but using Play with You Food, to get the most effectiveness out of it, land chainsaw hits instead of M1 hits and strategize your Chainsaws so you don't lose a stack for no reason.
my biggest problem is when I think LF he is so weak in my opinion I just see a basement and a hook and well his saw :P
