Is there a killer that can stop good, resourceful survivors?
Let me preface this by saying that I am pretty bad at the game, as I have just come back for the event after about a 5 month or so break. I also do not hate Gen rushing survivors or good loopers because they are just doing their job. Whenever I play survivor and I get survivors that capitalize on Killer containment by actually doing their job I nut in my pants. I am just trying to ask the billy and nurse mains (and others, idk the meta) if a really good team is stoppable if they spread out correctly with a resourceful looper. If so, anything that you guys do to help the situation(probably won't apply to me because I don't play billy, nurse, etc.) i.e. not chasing some survivors if they are not worth the time/map pressure depending on their available tools to waste your time.
I'm asking this because I want to have the solace that I should play who's fun (Deathslinger is satisfying) and not really care about the 4 minute matches, or possibly learn to adapt. (Which is nice that the "bad" games only last a little amount of time)
Also asking in the context that it is all solo queue. Because SWF is either easy if you keep calm due to overaltruism or next to impossible due to the level of objective coordination (Though they usually don't do this from "experience" because they just want to have fun with friends).
Just something that crossed my mind, no hate towards either side. I respect the good survivors (because they are usually few and far between honestly), and salute killers that make the best of tough situations and even come on top a lot of the time.

Freddy is the lowest skill, highest reward killer. Spirit / Nurse are better but require more skill. Oni / Billy can achieve similar results but also require a decent amount of game knowledge.
Freddy only requires you to know the loops, and to place snares at the apex of the loops to get relatively easy hits. He snowballs out of control easily with his meta build, corrupt, BBQ, pop goes. The 4th perk is entirely up to you, and can be a meme perk or something more serious.

How experienced are you at the game, as if you're still relatively inexperienced it's natural you'll struggle against experienced survivors. Likewise how inexperienced survivors struggle against experienced killers.
The biggest mistake I notice killers make even at high ranks is that they do not know when to abandon a chase. If you're in a chase where the survivor is looping optimally, whilst not using many pallets, abandon the chase, and look for someone else. There's probably a weak link, or even a strong survivor out of position you can down quickly.
With killer you got to juggle, as you got to remember it's 4v1 not a 1v1. If you focus on chasing one survivor, the other three survivors are free to work on generators without any pressure.
It's possible to win against a strong survivor team. Today I won I against a competitive SWF (The type of survivors that compete in tournaments), I was playing as Pyramid Head on Springwood.
On the other hand I've also lost to mediocre survivors, often due to the map RNG. Even the best killers (Adretha, Tru3talent, Otzdarva) lose to medicore survivors on certain maps (Disturb Ward, Ormond, Haddonfield).
EDIT: You can use any killer, to win against strong teams, if you put enough time and effort into them. For example Doctor is a B tier killer, but he's my strongest killer as he's my main. I can also do well with Leatherface and Pig who are considered quite weak, as I know they're powers well I can perform well with them.
I use to be Billy main before his bugs.

You resume freddy well but what make him strong is your knowledge of the game if you dont know all the loop freddy will be bad. Dont forget freddy addon are not that great he have 3 good addon but the are not game changer like a iri huntress or billy best addon.

Spirit, Oni, a very very good Huntress will also do pretty well, maybe Billy but that's not sure, and yeah, Freddy because he is such an interactive Killer.

Who can stop good and resourceful survivors.....
Billy. Spirit. Doctor.
Billy for his map control, he has intense map control.
Spirit because she can end chases quickly and she's everywhere.
And Doctor, skill checks are weird, he applies debuffs when they're in Madness 3, he reveals locations as well.

In fact only spirit. Nurse is too bugged, but when BHVR adresses her bugs in three years she can also.
