When it comes to a killer's power, who is your role-model for design?
I see a lot of people tout billy as a very well designed killer, with an effective power and alright counterplay. Who do you think future killers should be modeled after?

I've actually been using Freddy.
Basically all Killers need:
- A Gap closer
- Anti-loop
And additionally Killers can have
- Stalling
- Tracking
Freddy is a great example of all these traits
His teleport works as a gap closer
Snares work as anti-loop and as an additional gap closer
Snares also work for tracking
Dream mechanics act as stalling
So any Killer needs to have at least SOME anti-loop and gap closing with more being better with Stalling and Tracking being used to make up for not being specialized if applicable.
You'll notice that low tier Killers often lack one of those required traits:
- Pig - Gap closer
- Legion - Anti Loop
- Doctor - Gap closer
- Wraith - Anti loop
- Ghostface - Gap closer
- Leatherface - Both (lacks all 4 of these traits actually)
Trapper is the only low tier that has ALL of these qualities.
One thing to note is that Stealth is also inherently a tracking ability and is generally anti-loop as well. Wraith's decloaking process makes his power not qualify as anti-loop but Pig, Ghostface and Myers can all attack out of stealth fast enough for it to qualify.

freddy easily. Very fun to play as and against. Interesting mechanics except dream pallets lol. Unique and strong. But not disgustingly good even though they are prob gonna nerf him sometime soon for his high kill rate... good bye freddy. Im gonna miss you so much.
