So what are some good killers which have a pretty good ability and are able to have a good map control with it?

    HILLBILLY

    Freddy and Bubba. Bubba in my opinion is a lot easier to learn than hillbilly. You just have to learn how to keep your chainsaw from hitting things and see when people are about to vault. After the first couple times you can see if your gonna make the saw or not. I like Bubba cause of the mobility.

    And Freddy is just self explanatory. Ive mained him since before the rework and I can safely say they took him from being one of the hardest killers to play to the literal easiest.


    Some honorable mentions would be Myers and Ghostface( if you don't mind staring at people) Wraith also has an easy power to learn when your starting out

    Blight seems like he'd be really hard to learn. He used to bump into anything but now the car you see doesn't exist and he slides. Idk I haven't played him yet though. He's the last one I need to get though. I've been having a rough time learning any new killer nowadays though.

    The Oni he has everything that makes a killer great he’s fun to play as and against. He has map pressure he’s very strong but not to strong like spirit and nurse. He’s the definition of a perfect character.

    Maybe at the nine year anniversary lol.

    But seriously I think they are going to fix his camera soon so I'm exited for that. The main reason I haven't got him yet was cause of the pov

    Are they actually going to fix his fov? and is blight a decent killer that has good map control?

    Blight, its nurse tier with nurse skill ceiling but more fun, best map control in the game

    Simple: He's due for his their THIRD CONSECUTIVE BUFF:

    He was buffed massively from PTB to live by making his power work off of more objects(Instead of just sliding off most round objects like trees he can actually chain bounce off of them which means he has a power on maps like sheltered woods/mother's dwelling).

    He got buffed after he went live with lethal rush breaking pallets which helps a lot more then it seems as it lets you lethal rush into pallet hits more reliably.

    He's also due for a 3rd PoV buff which if you played him he's long overdue for as his camera is currently in his crotch which makes tracking survivors on him nearly impossible in a lot of circumstances.

    He's also low enough to the ground currently that fog thickening offerings can literally cause the fog to randomly blind him(I have lost so many chances simply due to that).

    For as much as people try to say he was an underrated killer in the PTB he's one of the most consistently buffed killers in the game currently.

    I agree but its also not hard to see why people haven't touched him yet until he's "Finished" as other comments have pointed out his PoV is a big issue with him atm for a lot of people.

    Myself included as having a single purple fog thickening offering randomly blind me is BS.

    Blight is a great killer whose unfinished(Still more complete then the twins though) that I love anyways but i can't recommend him to anyone until he's finished.

    They are going to fix it I'm pretty sure. From what I've seen and faced he can get around the map really frickin quick. You just gotta worry about the whole what angles you can bump into things. Both scott jund and Tru3Talent have a lot of videos on blight that you should watch

    I just spent $20 so i could get the last of the killers. The plague, Oni, demo, and executioner are good for map control. And honestly, the legion is better than people give him credit for if you combine discordance with tinkerer and get a good 3 gen at the end game. I think discordance is one of the most underrated perks in the game.

    I would say Billy is great, but since his nerf he is quite lackluster without ruin and undying, however he is not a bad choice. Blight and Freddy on the other hand have great mobility and a nice base power without addons.

    Billy has great mobility and can punish overextending/greedy survivors who try and loop more than they actually can without using a pallet. However, his nerf has made it much harder to do so. Overall, he is above average.

    Blight has really good mobility, but less lethality due to no insta down ability. He can traverse throughout most maps relatively efficiently. If you want to use his power offensively (in a chase), you either have to wait until the survivor attempts to switch tiles or have a good spot in a loop where you can bounce off of. Overall, he is a good killer or at least better than someone like wraith.

    Freddy has no insta down ability, but his snares make up for it due to how deadly they can be. His dream projection (teleport) is also amazing for map pressure and mobility. His semi stealth while survivors are awake and oblivious status effect are great to stay hidden and counters BT. Overall he is a deadly killer who can end chases quickly if survivors do not wake up.
