I honestly could not disagree more with this discussion. I've literally never lost as klown. So anyone who thinks they are weak, seem to be a skill issue to me ngl. If you are close to dying as klown, you can just pop lol and get full health. If you simply manage to down one and others attack you, you can get invincible by going into klowntality. If you still struggle, you can also use the jump to get away. If you somehow struggle to chase a survivor, just use the lure. Patrolling exits really do well.

"LOL" can be interrupted with a thrown brick. Can't hit them with other weapons though, but yeah the brick can stun them out of it and prevent the entire heal/buff. Additionally the heal is a 10 second heal, not instant, if you're being wailed on and use it when you're super low for the invincibility window, you're still gonna go splat if the Humans don't panic.

Additionally the Klowntality can be interrupted during the initiation phase if you're getting hit by a second Human that again, as long as they don't back down or panic, can stop you from starting the animation.

Are you sure of this? Cuz i've never seen that occur or actually work with interrupting a klowntality and i've been in many circumstances where people hit me the entire time.

Absolutely certain of it, have downed people in multiple 2v1 situations and went in for the finisher and had it interrupted several times now. More common with the fast swinging weapons, you'll land it easily between things like axe swings or gun shots, but definitely not the wrench or knife.

It's just that a lot of people panic when their teammate goes down.

I think if you kill them by cocoon the revive machine doesnt turn on but I think if you just kill them it turns on the machine after a while. I could be way wrong but I think thats the intent behind them having a choice. Enough die by the klowns then the machine turns on and everyone that died has a chance to revive. But if youre cocooned you have a chance to escape or be saved. Dunno if you should be able to insta kill on first down. Maybe second. Havent played enough to see the full end of it

I have almost 30 hours and I'm level 52. This game is human sided, stop complaining.

Klowns are supposed to cocoon. Yes, you can execute downed humans but executing humans in the beginning just created a more likelihood of them being resurrected. Also, your job is to collect cocoons as per Jojo's command. Get them all in cocoons and leave no human alive. If you are executing more humans than cocooning, you are failing Jojo and you aren't doing your Klown job.

You have must not seen a Shorty with a Bouncecaster. Me and Shorty cacooned two people at once. Klowns just need to work together and use their actual weapons provided for them. I disagree that it is 'human sided' and I have actually been playing as a human, helping others escape. It's difficult when the klowns actually work together but I won't say any more.

sounds like a skill issue

Small question if allowed:
Do other players see the klownality?
I ask because it always shows a nice animation and seems to hide the world for the clown and his victim. Do they see the same animation though?
