Place your bets: Who is the next killer to get changed?
The mid-chapter PTB may come in 2 or 3 weeks and with it we will likely see some juicy changes to gameplay. Who do you guys think is getting changes next?
In my opinion, the killers most likely to get changed are:
- Myers (he has been getting some wacky animation changes recently, which happened to billy not too long before his nerf. Hopefully we will see an add-on pass and some base kit buffs)
- Huntress (devs have stated that they want to change iridescent head, and she is now the only killer left with an irregular add-on set, maybe she will get another add-on pass and some base kit tweaks)
- Clown (they said in the dev stream they havent forgotten about him, hopefully they will give him something that helps with his map pressure)
- Spirit? (possibly getting changed due to complaints)
- Pyramid head? (same as spirit)
- Demo (I mean, very unlikely, but I would like to see my boy getting some decent changes)

Myers!
Hopefully it isn't a nerf lol

Either Clown or Pyramid Head,but i would be more excited for Myers.

I want Myers and Clown buffed ASAP but my money for the next change is on Huntress due to her being the last remaining Killer with irregular addon sets.

Huntress. She will get an addon rework and a
slight reworknerf to her basekit.Other killers might get some QoL stuff. At least Blight will get some tweaks to his addons.

My bet is clown or huntress' addons, hopefully JUST her addons and not her base kit

Clown.
Huntress would be the obvious choice, but they have said in the latest Q&A-Stream that they will not change Iri Heads anytime soon™. So I doubt that she will get her Add On-Pass in a few weeks.

I have a deep feeling in me that deathslinger is going to get a small nerf. But that's probably my paranoia.
I'd probably place my bets on PH or huntress.

My bet would be clown for it seems like they have been doing a lot more changes, but who knows maybe huntress might come first

Huntress isn't the only killer, Myers also has an irregular add-on set, he has 3/6/5/4/2 of common, uncommon, rare, very rare and ultra rare add-ons instead of 4/5/5/4/2.

Myers - I dont think devs will change him, because he has solid design. I dont say strong, but he is unique in his own way.
Huntress, yes, iri. hatchets are bs.
Clown - maybe, but he become stronger the more maps get nerfed. They should think about it, too, if they havent.
Spirit - I play her only when Im mad. I dont like her design. if other players play her only to vent out, too, Devs can kill her. They should be careful about muting noises. If they will make Stridor completely useless, her power can become completely useless, too.
Dorito head - he seems ok. Maybe only his range attack cooldowns can be increased. Or range decrease.
Demo - this one is abvious. It makes too many noises, too loud.

Clown.

I hope it's Huntress, and they fix hitboxes as well as make Iridescent Head a range-based add-on. It's seriously frustrating to go against.

Michael needs the rework more than clown, because Michael suffers from power creep, meaning some other powers outclass him, like oni and ghostface, clown suffers from this as well, but michael has been in the game longer.

Spirit or PH if i had to pick whi gets it first PH.
Survivors despise any killer that makes them have to think about how they play and they despise any power that doesnt blatantly hinder the killer if not used perfectly. These are the two killers that hit both of those marks and I think we are going to see changes made for the sake of "survivor fun" again.
1 -
Most likely Huntress with a small add on rework (hopefully that is all). For a full rework or buffs I would hope Trapper, Wraith, Pig, or Clown. For some nerfs Spirit because everyone else is fine. Unless they want to reduce the penalty on Executioners range attack and add a cd between his M2 and M1. That is my overall wants and predictions.

If I'm remembering correctly, we've had some implications as to which killers are most likely top-of-the-list:
-Huntress and Myers are both due for add-on updates (they are the only remaining non-conformers to the "modern" add-on set in DbD). I'd guess they might mess with hatchet hitboxes, but will otherwise leave Huntress's base kit unchanged. Myers might get some power tweaks or buffs too.
-Clown and Pyramid Head seem to be other killers that the devs are heavily looking into, probably for power adjustments or maybe even reworks.
Otherwise Pig and Demogorgon could both use add-on upgrades.
Wraith and Trapper could use some quality of life improvements (probably in the form of making certain add-ons base kit).
And Plague needs more bug-fixing. She's in a bit of an unplayable state right now.

It is clown.
They already mentioned that.

As much as I want Myers to get some TLC, its gonna be PH or Clown. Probably PH because he seems easier to change.
0 -
Wut no.
Myers is as good as Oni with the right build .. myers is just not designed for 4-5min games and 4 dudes on coms with OoO.
Clown (small rework)
Wraith (small rework)
Demo (small rework)
Trapper (traps should have a max spawning distance from trapper + brown bag should be baseline).
Pig (small rework)
need some love.

Oni Has map mobility, counters most loops, and snowballs better than Myers, whilst getting his power faster.

There is no way Myers is anywhere near Oni level imo. You can get some good use out of myers with a specific build but he is in no way shape or from even close to Oni.

5 shmeckles on a killer

Thats why its called personal Opinion we can disagree :D
Oni is a winmore character the number of Power Ussages you get in a match depends on your ability to hit healthy survivor with no help of your power ... so if you play vs strong looper you will starve of blood (so you have less power usages vs strong survivor but you swim in blood vs noob survivor when you dont need it). Survivor could also just sit out his power and he wont find anyone.
Myers with his 8m can sneak up even to good looper and surprise em (there is not much counterplay unless you run Spine Chill or OoO) it also allows you to prevent em from gettin BT. And with the righ perks (Dark Devotion / Infectious you can 99% the obsession and snowball fast).
Also purple Tombstone ... kill a survivor 1 min into the game is also pretty nasty (even more powerful then Topknot on Oni).

I understand that it was an opinion, that was my post had "In My Opinion" with it. Myers power actively loses him chases in the early game , Onis just doesn't help him. Myers might be undetectable at first but he is 105%, tier 2 is essentially just a standard m1 killer with half TR, Tier 3 without addons is just worst enraged Oni, which takes far more setup.Tombstone Piece takes even more setup, though undeniably good Oni just outclasses Myers at his strength.
