Jason's Addons are getting nerfed
Its an unfortunate reality add-ons like Deputy's badge and Coroners Coffee are extremely OP and are definitely getting nerfed
Coffee for example if you land a Spike you are 13% faster add this with jason base kit jumpscare haste 5% your 18% faster and can double tap survivors cause they make no distance cause your extremely fast
Really showing how pointless diminishing returns is if Devs are just making numbers more potent

I don't see what this has to do with diminishing returns. It's not unusual for numbers on a PTB to be overtuned and need reduced for the live release.
I don't think these add-ons are extremely OP at all. I mean the haste lasts like 1.5 seconds after your throw animation ends so you don't even get to utilize the entire 3 seconds. It's good up close when you can but somebody into a wall but other than that it's a decent addon to get a little more distance on a survivor. I haven't tried deputy badge but I mean if you're getting caught out by that addon it's a you issue 99% of the time. Just leave and don't wait around in the exit gate.
Making a lot of assumptions bruh nah you it's very strong and I wouldn't be surprised it gets nerfed
Deputies Badge is the exact same idea as Lootbag on Springtrap, I don't see how it's fine on him but not Jason.
Edit: nvm I'm thinking of Burnt Fuse
Bout to say lol
idk why the extra range addon gives haste tbh I just enjoy ragdolling people against their will. I love chucking people as wesker with the addons
Of course he'll get nerfed, there's no question about that, the real question is "When".
My bet is on 2-4 weeks after the live release (depending on how vocal the survivors complaints are), that way, people who buy him can have their fun for a couple of weeks, bhvr can make bank off the new killer, and when all the dust starts settling, that's when the other boot will drop and he'll get the Krasue treatment.
This is exactly why I choose not to buy a new killer until a month after release… I don't want buyers remorse when I can't get a refund, nor will I choose to buy any killer that gets nerfed into the ground. I learned that lesson hard when I bought Pig on her release, and no matter how many "buffs" they've given her in the years since they went on a nerfing rampage in her first few months, she's still D-tier crap that I shouldn't have spent money on! It's better to wait until you see just how much a new killer is gonna get nerfed, and then make the decision on whether to get them or not; don't fall for the initial hype, it's never worth it.
It's been a while since the Pig days. He won't get the Krasue treatment. Part of her problem was her overall design, but the other side is that she was purchasable with shards and a non-IP. Same with Skull Merchant. Jason is probably going to be more like Ghoul, who is still being complained about but who is also probably still making money because of his braindead reputation. And Jason is going to make a lot of money. So serious nerfs will be pretty unlikely. Even Henry, our most recent IP, received only some small post-release nerfs, and he's not even very popular for a new killer.
They nerfed Springtrap and his addons literally 2 weeks after his release, and didn't buff anything about him until the 9.6.0 patch released last month. While they didn't nerf him into the ground, they sure made playing him more frustrating and easier to counter, especially since the community hadn't really gotten a chance to get used to him and the nerfs he received felt like a knee jerk reaction to the initial flood of complaints.
I've seen the pattern before… I just know that once Jason goes live, he's gonna feel awesome to play for a week or 2, and then they're gonna hit him with nerfs. How much they nerf him will determine whether or not he's worth buying, after all, he's not the only Licensed killer they nerfed too hard and has yet to recover (poor Xenomorph and Demogorgon 😥)
I get where you are coming from...why get uses to and even like a killer if that's just gonna be taken from you?
ignorance is bliss. I stopped playing Pyramid Head and Slinger because I remember how they used to play before they got arthritis. I wish I never knew
