Which one of these A-tier killers is the strongest in your opinion?
By “strongest”, I mean a killer who’s mechanic’s are extremely helpful for applying pressure on survivors doing generators, getting survivors downed fast, and one who has few or none counter-plays available.

Nurse
The Nurse will always be the best killer purely because she can stop loops very easily if you can play her properly, Nurse on console in my opinion is a lot harder than PC because you can’t ‘flick’ as good on console.
For Console Spirit is who I have to go with and who I have been playing for a long time now even with the prayer beads nerf and no collision during haunting (It was pretty broken) she still is able to mind game a lot and personally is my favourite killer to play.

Nurse is S tier

None of these killers is good, if that's what "A tier" means. No killer currently in the game is "good".

Nurse
There is not really any competition when Nurse is included.

GF. You can reeeally keep people on edge when they have no clue where you are 90% the match, running sloppy, nurses, thana, and ruin. I'm not a stalker, but I also take the free 1 hit downs if it's easy enough. Best juggler in the game IMO.

Nurse is strongest, but most frustrating to play.

Nightmare
Nightmare is undisputed strongest
He's map pressure combined with gen slowdown addons, making survs oblivious, and his anti loop ability make him idiot proof.
He's easier to pick up than the nurse and just as good, if not better.

Tough choice between Freddy and The Nurse, but I went with the former because he's more well rounded than The Nurse. The Nurse does one thing extraordinary well: stop looping. That's all she has though, no info, no slow down, and comparitively little map pressure. Freddy, on the other hand, is great at everything, but not amazing at anything. Dream snares/pallets counter looping. Strategically placed snares can give you info. Going to find alarm clocks provides a little slow down. And dream projection gives good map pressure. Also, Freddy isn't so map dependent. Nurse on The Game... *shudders*

Spirit
All of the killers are op outside red ranks. That’s why the grind as survivor is so awful on ranks 8-20. I think certain perks and add ons should only unlock at red ranks to make the game more balanced.
As a rank 12 survivor, you still struggle against a rank 16 billy with a Mori and noed. I’m not sure how they could rework it now though as it’s already set up how it is.
I find playing killer very easy and survivor to be a grind. I’m on rank 6 survivor, rank 8 killer.

Well I kinda understand that but not completely. Like he mentioned killers that can apply pressure to survivors doing gens, down survivors fast and few counter plays available. While I think is what your saying by no killer is currently good in game is that every killers are unique. Which I can understand where your coming from every killers ability and their addons help in different ways and have some advantage over the other. In my opinion i think both sides are right here some killers are good killers and are awesome but at the same time each ability is unique and has advantages and it's own rate of pressure. The nurse has an advantage because she can cut of survivor loops blink over to generators and can down survivors quickly if used right. She's good and applying pressure at a fast rate with little to no counter plays. However since each killer ability is unique the nurse and spirit (contrasting the two)have advantages over each other. The nurse dosent collide with objects with her blink but the spirit does collide with her yamokas haunting. While the nurse takes a tons of skill to play, the spirit can be played more easier and dosent take as much practice to play as the nurse. (Comapring the two) both the nurse and the spirit take calculating but can also apply some serious pressure. So I really dont think either side here is right or wrong. Every killers unique in their own way and can all be very strong but have advantages and disadvantages over eachother

Huntress
Nurse and Spirit are S-tier, not A.
Huntress is simply great at ending chases within seconds if the player can aim and predict survivor movement. This combined with the hit-boxes functioning odd because of it being a ranged attack simply makes for a great killer.

Nurse isn't what she used to be at all. She's lucky to just make A tier.

On console*
Its mathematically impossible to stop the survivor in 85% of the jungle gyms and loops considering they both have the same ability. (with most of the killers)
When you are rank 12+ (and the survivors too) its easy to play assassin but when u go close to rank 1 things change, survivors are much more stronger.
Also the game don't take in account if you have many perks or none to give your rank so the person who have many lvl50 chars have a huge advantage.

Being able to dash around the map constantly applying pressure and even having the ability to insta-down survivors is nice.
