You can't really nerf Leatherface, they might work on his camping ordeals, but besides that, I think he'll either get a helpful rework (even though what he does is aligned to movies), either that or buff him.
What are you talking about? There is absolutely counterplay. Mettle of Man/Styptic, and Borrowed time. I've gotten many people off the hook from a facecamping Leatherface with a full revved chainsaw.
Freddy wasn't really "rushed". It was moreso, they had this great idea, that on paper sounded awesome. They released it, and didn't give it a chance. Survivors said "OMG OP", even though it was weaker than Wraith...and they nerfed him without even giving him a fair shake. People found him annoying to go against, even after the nerf...so they reworked him, to get rid of the key annoyances...and people now find him annoying because he actually has killing potential. Go figure.
I’m not arguing that she’s not the best I know she is but the cool down REALLY hurt her it not only takes away map pressure as it’s her main form of getting somewhere but it also takes you out of the groove when playing her in dbd 3 seconds is along time especially if you need to wait 3 seconds ever time you blink it adds up
Its hilarious to me that they designed him around punishing unhooks and didnt seem to expect it would just lead to camping and destroying non swf players
If they buff Leatherface (which theyll probably do) take for granted his basekit is going to change, there is no way they make him stronger and leave his camping potential as it is.
I never used omega blink lol and I play on console so her downsides are even more apparent to me her base kit was fine before the nerf it was the addons that needed a rework not her..and you do get your first blink back but that’s still 3 seconds you need to wait.. she’s the slowest killer in the game so to not use two blinks to get around your either going to have to use 2 blinks and keep map pressure but lose chase potential or only use 1 blink and lose map pressure either way it’s a massive nerf to her survivor main and if you can’t see that then you are blind
It can sometimes help you trade hooks, but if leatherface wants a kill and camps he will always get a kill, period. If you risk it with borrowed, more often than you trading hooks, he will get 2 hooks out of it or just go back to camping that person to death and now you have to come to that danger zone to get the guy crawling away which might let him get another down and suddenly pressure into a 4k.
If a leatherface is camping, there is nothing that can really be done about it 95% of the time. He will get at least one kill.
That’s what kinda gives him tier though... if he actually gets a hook people won’t hook dive against him allowing him to maintain momentum at the risk it’s all for nothing... really they can’t go that route especially after the ruin nerf. Either the survivors or the killer has leverage with the killer’s power and it should be the killer who has the leverage. Leatherface needs it for high ranks fundamentally. The only thing I can see nerfed isn’t insidious but holding charge on chainsaw so no way to juke it from that for actual facecamping with zero timing. It should be more charge and go with some ability to cancel early but too late = failed.
I've literally waited for people to be unhooked with LF, knowing they'll have BT, and downed them and the rescuer immediately after thanks to the way his saw operates.
I'm assuming the same can happen if you pop Agent or MoM, but I could be wrong.
Since when does having a different opinion mean "SURVIVOR MAIN LOLOLOLO".
I play both sides, she's fine. She's always been weaker on console, good nurses were so oppressive even with basekit that it needed a change. Survivors didn't stand a chance against good nurses
How is spirits window vault nerf comparable to huge basekit reworks? Spirits baskekit wasn't touched her power is still the same.she just got an animation change. That isn't comparable to the nurse, doctor and freddy changes.
They destroyed her basekit cause she litrally broke the game. They buffed freddy and doc 2 of the weakest killers in the game. Do you really think there gonna nerf leatherface? Arguably the weakest killer in the game
Comments
Spirit's window vault animation isn't a basekit nerf?
Wth...they didn't nerf Doc, why do you expect them to nerf Bubba? Sounds immature to me bud.
Spirit plays almost exactly the same. If sounds weren't bugged you'd see her everywhere.
Didnt say keep him the same just agreeing that he doesnt need nerfs.
As for billy being the most balanced....lmao. That old meme.
LF’s chainsaw is a balanced version of Hillbillys. Instadowns are incredibly powerful that’s normally why they come with restrictions;
Haunted grounds - time limit
Make your choice - time limit
Devour hope - Need 3 hooks before totem destroyed
Myers - time limit, needs to stalk first
Ghostface - time limit, needs to stalk first
Oni - Time limit, needs to collect blood first
Leatherface - Unlimited uses and on demand chainsaw, but slows him down making it harder to hit and a hefty time penalty if you miss
Hillbilly - Unlimited uses and on demand chainsaw. Still able to keep pace with a survivor while using it and only a minor penalty for a missed swing.
You’re not meant to be getting an instadown on every hit which is what any decent Hillbilly gets. Killer mains have a warped view of balance.
Yeah cause Doctor has been massacred. BHVR totally kills base kits. Doctor is better than ever
one word...nurse

She's still the best killer in the game.
Oh my God a 3 second cooldown... massacred
Have you ever played nurse? A lot ? If not you wouldn’t understand it affects her greatly but what can you expect from someone who mains survivor
Hi, I'm a Killer Main; and Nurse is still the most powerful killer in the game. Her skill floor is just higher. Her skill CEILING is just as high.
I’m not arguing that she’s not the best I know she is but the cool down REALLY hurt her it not only takes away map pressure as it’s her main form of getting somewhere but it also takes you out of the groove when playing her in dbd 3 seconds is along time especially if you need to wait 3 seconds ever time you blink it adds up

If you're complaining about Nurse now, then you're definitely a killer main who acted as if they were good with Omega/ 5 blinks.
Incorrect, you already have 1 blink back after fatigue
If they buff Leatherface (which theyll probably do) take for granted his basekit is going to change, there is no way they make him stronger and leave his camping potential as it is.

Pretty sure LF Chainsaw beats out Borrowed Time, MOM, etc due to its 2x successive hits.

If you risk it with borrowed, more often than you trading hooks, he will get 2 hooks out of it or just go back to camping that person to death and now you have to come to that danger zone to get the guy crawling away which might let him get another down and suddenly pressure into a 4k.

My thoughts on reworked Bubba
He'll be able to chainsaw parts of the walls down to increase his chase potential
His chainsaw will have a cooldown but his movement will increase while charging
He'll no longer be able to hit multiple survivors, that or speed limiter base and addons needed for insta down
And maybe he'll get more survivor masks.
Just theories maybe some of them will go through
Don't even talk about cooldowns it's gotten way too [BAD WORD] out of hand already
Pretty sure me actually making saves with a fully revved face camping LF using BT and Mettle/Styptic shows that it can be done.
@McLightning
Got a video?
I'd like to see it in action.
I've literally waited for people to be unhooked with LF, knowing they'll have BT, and downed them and the rescuer immediately after thanks to the way his saw operates.

How was freddy nerfed when he came out? I didnt play back then.
Yeah. Ok. So say that then instead of going "You disagree with me so you're a survivor main" like come on dude 🙄
