Which killer should I buy ?
Comments

The doctor
One, this is amazing lore.
Now for the actual question, who should you buy.
Oni is incredibly powerful once you get his power active (I feel that with it active, he's a stronger Hillbilly, but I also can't play Hillbilly to save my life), and when he doesn't have it, he gets decent tracking ability. However, if you can't get that power up quickly, you are an M1 Killer with no power.
Doctor (my vote and main) has the greatest tracking in the game. He can also shut down vaults and pallet drops quickly and secure kills reliably. The only issue with him is timing, because a moment too early can result in a miss, and a moment too late is only worth it to increase madness. And experienced Survivors will drop pallets early.
Deathslinger is fun and powerful, especially when combined with Monitor & Abuse, but the hitbox on his harpoon is so precise. This isn't Huntress's hatchets where you can hit a Survivor from ten feet away. As someone who doesn't do good with first person shooters, this makes him feel clunky. If you're good with FPS games, he's pretty good, but otherwise he's pretty meh. Deep Wounds also isn't that threatening.
Plague is a meh Killer at times and a god-like Killer other times. Her power is largely dictated by Survivors. If they don't cleanse, you have one use of your true power. After that, you are an M1 Killer with no power.
Legion is... good at getting Brutality points. They're not as bad as people say they are, but that doesn't mean they're good. They can slow the game down a little bit with Deep Wounds, but that's about it.

The plague
The best killer in the game of course

The doctor
It will vary based on your preferred playstyle, but Doctor is probably the most well-rounded and interesting Killer out of that selection, and he also comes with Monitor & Abuse, an extremely versatile and fun Perk that adds a lot of potential to many other Killers.

Doctor is objectively the greatest Killer in the game. You'll realize once you hear that precious laugh.
He's also pretty strong while not being super difficult to pick up. When it comes to teachable perks, you'll get a great one in Monitor and Abuse. It works wonders on a lot of other Killers.

The plague
now for fun factor i would never ever choose plague. But if you want some good perks than absolutely go for plague. She has easily 2 of the best killer perks. Of course if you have them already then doctor, oni, and deathslinger are some fun ones to have.

The doctor
but the doctor would be my pick
( his hallucinations are really, really scary when they just pop up )
( the other good ones are already explained above )

The plague
The plague has two really meta perks, corrupt intervention is a must on any killer without great mobility

The oni
Oni is a blast. Apart from nurse, he feels the most powerful killer in his demonform. If you ever wondered how strong billy was at the peak of his power. Its literally onis demonform, billy with arrowkeys and flick. If you're bored of weak killers and want a power spike, Oni is a good boi.

The legion
Legion depends on your play style and perks, but can easily be the best killer in the game under the right circumstances.

The deathslinger
If you are good at aiming and shooting, deathslinger might be the choice. I love the deathslinger cus he is fun and his spear gun is cool. If you don't think deathslinger is a good match for you, maybe try doctor.

The doctor
I would also say doctor. He has the best combination of useful teachable perks, fun to play with decent chase ability and fun builds. Impossible skillcheck doc is still still a thing, unluckily Sniper doc got nerfed too hard but his addons in general are also fun.
Oni is the strongest in the list, and Nemesis gives a lot of options for many obsession builds on many killers (my favourite one is Furtive chase, Make your Choice and Nemesis to get an obsession on first chase and make each following unhooker oblivious and exposed for quite a bit). Would be my second choice. Only second because I think is power is harder to master than Doctor.
Deathslinger is in my opinion more fun to play but you need to aim well, otherwise he is weak and omega unfun, and his perks are crap. Legion can be fun if you like that slashing around, but is one of the weaker killers. Discordance is good, but there are also better tracking perks. Plague mostly depends on survivor gameplay, I don't enjoy her much. Although Corrupt Intervention is good on a lot of killers, but that would be like recommending Bubba because of BBQ :-P
