Clown buff

[BranBran]

Hi everybody I already posted this on the official dead by daylight forums but decided that I may aswell post this here in hopes of catching the attention of a dev like @not_queen,Ash pannel or dave Richard

Hi everybody Im here to propose a clown buff.Im a p3 clown main (thats right clown mains exist) thats played for a long time.

The change I want to propose is to increase the clowns slow from 15% to 20%.

I play clown how hes suppost to be played and herd survivors,I dont mindlessly throw my tonic at survivors because I know that slows me more than it helps me however when I gas off an area most survivors just go through my gas because they dont really care about the slow.the clown is suppost to punish you if you go through his gas which is meant to prevent a loop or force down a pallet.

There have been times when I closed off a loop with my tonic only for the survivor to go through my gas and manage to make it to the pallet by mere centimeters right before I got a hit.

There are otherways the devs can buff the clown either by cutting the 1 second slow after throwing a tonic by half or by bringing down the 15% slow that the clown recives after tossing a tonic to 7%.Even though these are ways the devs can buff the clown it encourages the clown to throw his tonic directly at a survivor instead of corraling them which completly ignores the point of the tonic which is to coral and stop loops.

So if a dev is reading this please buff the clowns tonic slow from 15% to 20%.

One more thing my dudes please do not make this thread a killer/survivor sided argument,everybodys thought’s and arguements are completly valid regardless of which side your on whether killer or survivor.

I am absolutely down for a Clown buff, I've recently been drawn to the gameplay and I love the aesthetic they went for. Currently P2 Clown, I find him fun, but if a little lackluster. It would be great to see him get some love.

Agreed. I didn't think I'd like his playstyle, but something about just has me charmed....I think it's the wheezing laugh in response to being stunned.

As much as I would love to see a clown buff

1. The devs don't look at steam discussions

2. The devs don't care about pre-released killers unless they are in a gamebreaking state. After all the complaints about freddy, he's seemingly only getting buffed next update, after a year, legion is getting changed because he broke the game and every single killer has been completely ignored and forgotten right after the dlcs release.

As sad as I am to say it, I severely doubt the devs will ever touch clown

Three things.

1: if you want to get the attention of the devs then this is the wrong place to post.
The Official DbD forums and Reddit are better.

2: Your buffs are too small to really matter.
They would only affect edge case situations and increase The Clown's efficacy by a few percentage points.

The Clown would still very much be a mid tier killer.

3: And most important.

You play The Clown how you think he should be played.

It's poor form to assume your way is the right way at the best of times, and it's especially bad when you're talking about rebalancing something.

Promoting one play style over others (particularly if it's the strongest play style) can reduce variety, lead to later nerfs, and generally hurt balance.

Hey mostly ghostly :D.

1.I clearly stated in the firt pharagraph that I had already posted this thread on the official dead by daylight forums.

2.I would love to hear your ideas for clown buffs because it seems you have a few buffs in mind.

3.after reading this I have realized that I made it sound like clown is suppost to be played in a single way and I have to appologize to everybody that may have disagreed with this statment however if you know any other playsytles to play clown I would like to know so I can spice up my clown gameplay in future matches :D.

He needs a buff big time. He doesn't have any downing power unless he nails a bottle hit with that add on and M1
