Not playing with Shorty in the match

[Monitor Tan]

I'm thinking of dodging all matches with Shorty. He is impossible to beat with a melee character. He is super fast and you just slide off him like glass when you do get near. Actually I think we all should start dodging matches with him in it. It's completely broken atm. I haven't been this mad at balance since DBD.

Alright.

[globbriel]

2v1 him.

Yet everyone still keeps playing dbd lol. Bro shorty only has 2 health bars. Literally just throw a brick at him twice or 1 brick and a baseball hit. If youre going to melee a shorty, crouch before you do it or stun him with anything that you can throw. its not that serious as 90% of dbd killers broken mechanics.

Sounds like a skill issue 🤡

The trade off though is he is squish as balls. If you and a mate double charge hit him if he gets close that's pretty much a one hit kill. 3 knife stabs and he's down. I don't usually have much trouble with him unless i'm alone and don't have a knife otherwise usually dunk on him. You just have to keep him at bay if he lols because your not going to outrun him he is faster then you sprinting.

Humans really shouldn't be able to melee shorty if the shorty is good. Just back pedal and cotton candy the melee attacking humans one at a time.

Double Team or lure him into a tight area where he can't dodge

Short Kings finally win

I've been instant dodging any matches with more than 1 shorty in it, similar to the pre-nerf bouncecaster and popcorn gun, klown players see it as an "I win" button, and unfortunately that's precisely what he is.

Little to no effort involved, provides easy W's. His speed combined with boxing gloves essentially lets you permanently stunlock a human from full HP to death, no counterplay whatsoever and certainly no getting away from it.

I always have to lol when shorty players try talking smack over getting a W, knowing full well they'd take the L as any other Klown lmao

look down, aim and time your swing. you'll win a slugfest provided you have three health bars and a weapon that isnt on the verge of breaking.

alternately, hit him in the face with a brick or baseball. people have been calling the stun those deal as "op."

shorty is the hardest to deal with if you're running away, but the easiest to kill. basically, if you died to a shorty holding anything more than a popsicle/ hamburger/ medkit, you'd have died to any other klown. i'm not 100%, but i do think you CAN throw those at klowns as well, stunning them if you get the face. i do know they at least stun lackys.

Shorty is broken. Please remove from the game ASAP.

The Strength stat is glitched. It's supposed to be his weakness, but currently he deals as much damage as any other Klown, while maintaining his high Stamina and Movement.

My biggest issue with him: He is too d*mn tanky. Why is he so tanky? I literally had to hit him 6-7 times with a wrench to down him. Other times I hit him like 5+ times with a two handed weapon and he still doesn't go down.

...and no, I didn't miss, I could see the charges depleting.
He has too much HP man like what is this.

stop swinging when he pops LOL (laughs and gets the particle effects.)

you might not want to fight him while it's active, because it provides HP regen.

when he activates it, either use the time to start running and stay away till LOL expires, or charge a swing to hit him as soon as he's out of the invulnerable animation he gets for activating LOL.

strength may be one of his weaknesses, but his biggest hamstring is HP. this IS implemented.

Just going to expand on your comment a bit.
If no one has done damage and they use LOL, just run away.
Most klown players use LOL when they are about to die, and if you've ever played klown and don't wear a helmet irl you will know that their LOL healing is a heal over time and not an instant full heal.
If you have done a decent amount of damage to them before they pop their ability and you have a weapon to actually kill them it's better to get close to them and wait out their 2 seconds of invulnerability and just finish them off, especially if it's a shorty because they don't have much life to begin with.
If you run away when you have them almost dead just because they popped LOL they are definitely going to use it to catch up to you and kill you.

Also, strength isn't his weakness, strength is bugged right now for both sides and effectively useless/or a huge buff for certain characters with low strength.

I mean, if they remove him from the game they need to remove athletic human type too.
They are basically the same with strength being meaningless.
