Best licensed killer?
Okay so I just posted a discussion asking if Ghostface was good but now I am having mixed thoughts about buying him.
Who is the best licensed killer?

In terms of power, freddy wins by a lot. He has everything a killer need, but doesn't excel in any. He's jack of all trade killer.
But personally i like dream pallet over snares because it's more fun.

Oh hey I just replied to you in that. I said that you should just pick who's the most fun to you because every killer is viable at almost all levels of play. But that being said...I'd say Freddy is the best. Ultra easy to play and gets a lot of ######### for basically free. Doesn't mean he's all that fun though, once you've played him for a couple of games there really isn't much else to learn about him you hit his skill ceiling very fast. Demo and Pyramid Head are tied in strength for 2nd imo. Bubba and GhostFace are ok, Myers and pig are quite meh and very outdated. They really need some QoL changes.

I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for. My personal favourite and the one I have the most fun playing as is Michael Myers. But, the one who’s the most consistent and powerful would be Freddy Krueger.

Freddy is easily the strongest. He can teleport around the map, he has an anti-loop, and the sleep dynamic slows down the survivors a bit. He's so strong that I find him kind of boring to play. His perks are terrible
I recommend ya boy Leatherface. He comes with BBQ and Chili, which is a sweet perk that gives you extra bloodpoints and some targets to start a new chase with. He has an instadown that was just given a buff with some add on improvements. He's also the best to facecamp with, if that's your thing. He's better than Ghostface IMO, or at least I do way better with him than ghostie. I find it's hard to get the best use out of stalk because of how meta spine chill is

Freddy but I would prioritize perks over everything else when it comes to the licensed killers especially if you're only able to buy one. Bubba has BBQ which you'll definitely need.

Freddy, hes a solid contender for best killer in the game, let alone licensed.

Licensed Killer Tier List in my opinion strength wise.
Freddy
Executioner
Cannibal
Ghostface
Shape
Pig
Demogorgon

PH if you ask me, Freddy is strong but at the end of the day a M1 killer who can teleport to gens, PH ignores BT, DS and completely shuts down loops ending his chases extremely quickly if you are good with him.

That's a good tier list, I agree completely except I would switch Ghostface and Myers. Demogorgon is the worst killer in the game IMO

Freddy is the strongest by power (and probably the only licensed killer to generally be regarded as "top tier" by the community). He's kind of basic though and I think he gets boring pretty quickly (though Dream Pallets are pretty fun).
Perks-wise, Leatherface and Myers give you some fun stuff to work with such as BBQ & Chili, Franklin's Demise, Save the Best for Last, and Play With Your Food. Ghost Face also offers Thrilling Tremors and I'm All Ears which are quite good in some builds too, though I myself don't really use either perk all that often (I'm All Ears is great on Pyramid Head).
Unfortunately, Demogorgon, Pig, and Myers all have some issues with their abilities that make them a little more challenging to play than a lot of your other killer options, but they do have their fans who'll tell you all about how fun they are.
Personally, I've had the best run with Bubba. I had fun playing him a lot before his rework, and I still find him fun afterwards (well, he DID get buffed after all). Plus a lot of survivors still expect for Bubba to play in the most braindead fashions imaginable and are sometimes prone to underestimating him and making excessively bold plays (which can lead to spectacular comebacks in rough matches).

In my opinion I think freddy is the best licensed killer by a mile.

Depends what you mean by 'best.'
Easiest to get high value out of? Freddy.
Highest potential? Pyramid Head.
Most fun? For stealth, it has to be GF, but otherwise, I'd say Bubba.
the fun part is definitely subjective, though.
