Being underrated is quite good honestly, saves him from getting nerfed.

That is extremely true. Also despite not being the most powerful killer he's actually one of the ones I enjoy playing as the most. Perhaps because he's so underrated

As a Legion main i understand your pain.
It also frustrates me to no end when i see countless people calling Legion the worst killer in the game.
The people who call killers the worst are also ussually the people that never play them.

Exactly or else they do play for example legion and have no idea how to use them

I still don't see what makes people think Clown is the worst killer in the game, even with his rework that made his chase even stronger people still think he's the worst killer out of the roster!? I'll provide you with my own history lesson of Clown.
{Old Clown with the movement speed slowdown after a bottle throw.}
I'll admit here that Clown back when he had slowdown after throwing a bottle was indeed bad, it was his biggest glaring issue that a lot of people never noticed even I was one to have never noticed it. It hurt his chase massively because you would be losing distance on survivors after hindering yourself with a bottle throw, although this made him pretty bad he wasn't the worst killer in the game. He was still a step above Wraith, Trapper, Myers, old Doctor, and old Freddy.
{Old Clown with the movement speed buff after a bottle throw.}
What was one of Clown's biggest issues of being slow downed after throwing his bottles was all fixed once the Silent Hill chapter came out. Clown no longer suffered from hindering himself, and with the buff that was given his chase became what is was suppose to do. You can throw a bottle towards where the survivor has their route planned to go, and keep an incredible amount of distance with that survivor. With the slowdown on the survivor Clown is guaranteed to get the free hit out in the open and around loops, where as before he would sometimes not get that free hit with hindrance to himself. This buff then resulted in me to experimenting around with Clown more, and eventually lead me to becoming a Clown main. Once I started messing around more with this improved version of the old Clown, I was ending chases very very quickly. But for some reason people still think that even with the movement speed buff he got after throwing bottles, it still made him the worst killer in the game? I'll tell you that he was definitely better than Myers, Trapper, Wraith to name a few. He was once a D tier killer, but with a buff that improved his chase he became a decent C tier killer.
{New Clown with buffed reload and antidote bottles.}
Now it all brings me to this, let's talk about the new Clown. With the new Clown came the introduction of the antidote, where it speeds up both Clown and survivors. Also with that came a buffed reload speed for Clown, which was shortened from 5 seconds to now three. If you run out of bottles, the quicker reload will be enough to get you back to full. Now a lot of people are probably thinking why in the world would a killer power benefit survivors? But after finally getting to test out how much the antidote benefits survivors, I'll just have you know that the antidote doesn't really drastically increase the survivors movement speed nor does it really help them. The antidote is also not a tool to be used for map mobility, but if you basically have the game won just use it for map mobility at that point if you want. The power of the antidote is in the chase, and if used correctly can be very strong. Here's a few pointers as how to use the antidote.. When you're in a chase with a survivor around loops it's best to throw the antidote down first, and then follow up with a tonic as to where the survivor is. You get the increased movement speed with a slowed down survivor, and you will get that free hit unless you make a mistake with the bottles. What I also do with the antidote is after hitting a survivor with a basic attack out in the open, I then follow up with an antidote bottle to the direction that the survivor is going. With that 2.5 second delay, I get the speed boost and if the survivor gets close to a pallet or window I can still get the down thanks to the antidote. Also another one that isn't one you would do a whole lot if a survivor is hiding, just throw the antidote straight onto them and then hit them immediately after with a basic attack. While you are doing your blood wiping animation the antidote delay will trigger before it's over, then giving the speed boost and allows you to do what you want to that injured survivor immediately after. People are really underestimating the power of the antidote, it helps for Clown's chasing which is good with the anti loop but makes it even stronger with the addition of the antidote. And your probably saying this rework didn't fix his map pressure issue, although killers like Huntress, DeathSlinger, and Bubba don't have map mobility but have very strong chase powers. Clown after this rework is definitely not in the bottom of the barrel with weak killers, after this rework he's jumped to B tier for me. Of course he still gets outmatched by Freddy and Doctor, thanks to them having information on survivors along with passive slowdown. But the new Clown is not a tool for survivors, he is an improved version that can be very scary if the Clown your going against is really good. And thus this concludes our history lesson of the Clown, an underrated and fantastic killer.

Interesting analysis thanks for taking the time! I think the problem with clown is a lot of people don't and never knew how to use him properly. Like other killers anticipating a survivors movements and forcing movement in a particular direction is of key importance. I personally wouldn't say he is a fantastic killer; he is still low tier but I fully agree he is underrated and dismissed quickly

No Mither is an interesting perk to me in concept but you just give up sooo much for so little. I was wondering if people think it needs changed at all.
Id personally want to add a big bloodpoint bonus with it for people who survive with it since its basically hard mode with minimal benefits. I think it would encourage people to try it more and would make the sacrifices it demands much more worth it.

If you're using this perk you're a liability for the entire team

I'm a killer/survivor main and solo que 99% of the time. The que times are awful especially leading into the evening because people aren't playing killer as much due to toxic swf teams. As a result, I wait 5 minutes waiting for a game (as a red rank) only to be paired up with countless green, yellow or brown rank survivors as teammates and a purple or red rank killer. If I'm going to be babysitting during matches at least allow the que times to be faster and just pair me up with them right away rather than wait.

Pressure gens. Stop over-committing to chases. Bring slowdown perks. Slug someone and chase another person.
Gen speed is not a problem - map size and generator layouts are problems.
I will say Brand New Parts need removing/changing, though, but they're not overly common.

It discourages the user to heal the rescued survivor due to having the killer know if they're trying to heal.
It doesn't last long enough to actually matter most of the time.
It doesn't even fit in a particular niche due to it being so specific in its weakness.
Good killers will notice blood puddles if scratch marks are out of the question in bright-coloured maps.

First: Let us sell stuff from the bloodweb.
Look, it should be no problem to have it that we can sell items and addons we don't need/want or can't use anymore and get BP back.
Second: Separate perks and items. Make perks a bit more expensive, but have them as their own thing to unlock. Be it its own bloodweb or just a store.
Third: Regular Bloodhunts. Just have 2x the BP every (other) weekend, maybe with special items to increase it further and maybe even small cosmetics/charms to get by playing (not by buying them for cells).
These are three things that ARE easy to program AND would help a lot.

They're good ideas but it won't change. Its a business and part of that business is the desire to complete- as in all perks for all killers and survivor(s) (different people will have different versions of complete). And BHVR know this, its getting to your version of complete that adds further motivation and desire to play the game. Perks don't make the killer, the player themselves determines the efficiency of the killer but the perks sure help. The thought of completing a killer and being able to be more efficient with all perks available is also desirable. You're right it would be good but I cant see it happening

It's not an unreasonable one for the killer, assuming they're not Nurse or Spirit. The killer never knows how strong the survivor team is gonna be, especially since there's no SWF indicator, until the game is pretty much already lost for them. So many times, they decide to not slug everyone early on while they have the chance, and then come to regret it when they get a 0k or a 1k.
There's perks that avoid this too: Unbreakable and Soul Guard.
So the killer usually plays it safe and slugs everyone while they can, because survivors can get so carried by gen speed and map RNG that giving an inch allows the survivors to take a mile. It's a band-aid fix to bad balance, slugging is. That's why questioning killer's skill just because they're losing is hardly a fair argument, because they "could have slugged at any point, ya know."
And unless the killer's game plan/build was to slug from the start, it's the survivors' fault that they all got slugged.
I don't have a hotfix for this issue, but I do know that the less killers feel safe in playing nice, the more they're gonna be doing this when survivors give them the opportunity.

I don't intentionally slug at that point as in I don't go out my way to do it. That having been said if I down someone and I see multiple survivors charging at me to stop the hook, flashlight etc of course I'm gonna go for them

Please pay attention and HIDE when you see the killer!

Just out of interest do you play Solo? I do and unfortunately all it takes is one wannabe maverick to go for a stupid reckless save at the beginning of the game and get downed or hooked while the original survivor is still on hook. 2 survivors out of play and 2 on gens at least one now has to move (possibly both). As a solo that happens more often than I'd like and when it happens it really turns the game on its head. It just got a whole lot harder...

People confuse those that hide in a corner with stealth. If you're being productive during the match - gens, saves/heals, totems - I don't care if the killer never sees you because your stealth play is helping the team. It's when you're hiding in a corner or locker hopping, doing nothing the whole match, and then camping the hatch that it's not OK - it's not stealth, it's just hiding.

Great way of putting it actually;

Stealth vs Hiding
