Clown
Don't you think that Clown is op? his base speed is too fast for a killer that can slow survivors, with add-ons its literally impossible too loop. I woudnt have a problem if the slow was a skill shot that is pretty hard to hit, but his bottle are AOE. This is littrealy absurd.

I don't like facing Clown, but that's because I'm not that good in chase, and I'm not sharp enough to pre-throw and then know where to chain to most of the time... but if you play as him, you realise he is definitely not OP.
Clown is an anti-loop specialist, his kit is exceptionally good at cutting survivors off and ending chase quickly... only really trumped by the likes of Nurse...
However Clown lacks map mobility and any inherent slow down in his kit, plus is vulnerable to pre-running and pre-throwing pallets. He can get a lot of pressure built up sure, but any imperfections in chase can quickly eat into his lead and snowball out of his control very fast.
This is why a lot of Clowns fall back onto tunneling a player out, because the one area he is strong is gating a survivor to an area and forcing a hit, which suits tunneling well, and the fact he is so good at it is his main means at which he can draw other survivors off gens to try and help.
TBH, he kind of needs a buff, but the only thing debatably overpowered is his pinky finger iri. It's not that hard to land a direct hit in a skilled players hands, and this does get very potent... this is the add-on that makes Clown unbuffable, because any buff to his kit has to account for this add-on too.
No he’s not op. Respectfully.
There is still skill in landing an AOE tho, try clown yourself hes not an easy killer.
I really wouldn't call him hard neither.
You need more knowledge (where to use which bottle to get hit) than actual skill in my opinion, but that's true for most killers.
What is skill if not "knowing what to do when and where"?
But that works for every killer. It's not unique to Clown.
When I would talk about difficulty of killer, it's more of how hard is to use their power. So Nurse, Blight, Wesker etc.
Clown is basically way easier Huntress. Range is limited, there is not much to learn about it, you don't even need to directly hit survivors. You can just throw it on top of loop and it's going to work. On most loops you don't even need to use yellow bottle.
