    I'd probably say Spirit as well, but I don't think she is overpowered.

    Nurse is stronger than Spirit but she is a lot harder than Spirit, that's why I think Spirit might be the strongest Killer because she is easier.

    Other survivors in my games their stupid mistakes kill me more than any one killer.

    From what I see, almost nobody says that Billy is OP.

    Freddy, Spirit does take skill to play btw.

    Freddy. While other top tier killers like Nurse, Billy and Huntress take some semblance of skill to do well with, Freddy just has too much power for how easy he is to play.

    idk about overpowered but, there are definitely braindead killers

    like freddy and spirit, they take barely any skill to play but get extremely high rewards from their powers

    Actually, the strongest killer among ALL ranks has been Freddy - Spirit is up there but Freddy is definitely more overbearing than spirit

    Most people think that running to create distance is a good strategy, but most don’t know when to stop running and when to engage lol..


    went up against a NOED, Ebony mori Spirit today that got steam rolled by me and my friends.

    If you think its easy you go try it. If you are gonna make a claim this bold at least then show us. And yes of course you can do good with purple and green addons thats their design to be good to boost both good and bad players but I have seen amazing spirit players make due with anything from a brown and a yellow, to no addons at all.

    I honestly believe that without add-ons there is not a single killer in the game that is overpowered at the moment, gens simply fly way too fast, I feel like I don't even have to try as survivor anymore as games go by so damn quickly. The strongest killer at the moment is the Nurse, but the amount of practice it takes for that pay-off almost isn't even worth it since you can perform close to the same as nurse if you play spirit and you have an active brain cell.

    The Nurse is the most op killer. I dont think it is really important if a killer is hard to play or not, it just matters what the killers potential is. I always assume, when we talk about op, we also considere the full potential of each killer.

    Dont start the Spirit bull ######### again Lmao. There is no overpowered killers in the game no more. Deal with it. Babies whining about Freddy a bit but that’s forgetabble. About Spirit interesingly enough countering her takes about the same effort as playing her. If you can’t do that you’re bad. And Nurse, she’s insanely hard. Doing well against her is like 10 times easier than being good at her. She needs only one mistake and the chase is lost. As survivor, you can create countless opportunities like that. Same for Spirit it’s just the skill cap is narrover for both sides.

    To answer the OP:

    There is no overpowered killer.

    The most op killer imo is whatever otzdarva play with.

    Seriously, the most op killer imo is freddy

    He can teleport to gens and his power makes people slow down

    None

    Every killer has counterplay and the counterplay every killer has in common is a great coordinated team.

    Scared of us plague mains? Btw some good plagues use good aim to get a full infect with a basic attack after but yeah I get the rest.

    Care to share those builds? I'd be happy to try them out for a while, but i can't find a build that makes hag good in this world of gen rushing.

    No killer is this game is overpowered at their base-kit. Some add-ons are stupid though but not a lot of add-ons.

    Stupid add-ons are...

    • Iridescent Head

    • Carburetor Tuning Guide

    • Scalped Topknot

    Freddy.

    Survivors (bad teammates).

    No killers are OP. Only thing that is unfair is Iridescent hatchets which will be fixed eventually.

    Plague hands down... Before you respond hear me out:

    1. She has the strongest and fastest ranged damage potential in the game.
    2. If survivors choose not to cleanse at fountains against her she gains 1 shot down ability + easy tracking since survivors become both easier to hear and see while fully sick.
    3. With Thanatophobia and Dying Light, survivors who choose to not cleanse at fountains against her are seriously in a hard spot since almost every hook slows down gen speed for 3 of the team members.
    4. Dying Lights upside of increasing healing rates for survivors is meaningless to her.
    5. All healing perks and medkits are nullified against her.
    6. Without perks, anyone who doesn't cleanse against her experiences chases that last half as long as they would with any other killer due to the broken status.
    7. Cleansing at fountains against her = suicide due to how powerful she becomes after gaining corrupt purge (ranged damage).
    8. Unlike other ranged killers she moves at the average killer speed of 115% or 4.6m/s.
    9. Because she is one of the least played killers, many newer survivors have no idea of how to deal with her and make huge mistakes constantly, which more often than not, results in the survivor teams loss.

    Basically she's crazy powerful for those who learn to use her, flat out defeats healing perks/items just by existing, is under-played and has very few players who know how to counter her, can track survivors better than most killers, has the best ranged attack in the game, and consistently puts survivors between a rock and a hard place... Need I say more?

    Hag is overrated IMO. She's good but cordinated teams will just pop all your traps when you are hooking someone, or they bring/find a flashlight and your power is completely useless. Strongest killer is hands down Spirit, even after her nerfs. Nurse is just too cluncky too play and has way too high a skill cap from what she use too. There's a reason everyone runs Iron Will at red ranks lol.

    My humble opinion...

    The meta killers are overpowered against innocent solo survivors and fair against 4 man SWF.

    The non-meta killers are fair against solo survivors but does not stand a chance against a 4 man SWF.

    By default, Huntress and Freddy is way overpowered and needs nerfing. All other killers are mostly fair. Legion is probably the only one that needs buffing, but changed so his power is not annoying. Despite popular propaganda from killer mains, killers don't need buffing but the game needs to award for 2 kills since that is an obvious balance goal of the devs.

    Base huntress isnt op Bhvr just needs a sweet spot for hatchet hitboxes so they don't have splash damage or phase through survivors

    I would like to see her also have less hatchets and some cooldown after a M2 attack.
