My killer tier list including the new chapter and changes

I figured that I am not a fully-fledged forum member if I didn't make my own killer tier list so here it is. This is taking into account just in general how powerful each killer is and how strong their addons are.

The reason I put Blight right behind huntress is because Huntress is better at snowballing. The blight can only really get the ball rolling with the alchemist ring. Don't get me wrong, he can definitely down a survivor quickly, but because of his lengthy cooldown after a lethal rush hit, he is unable to down the entire team quickly. Huntress on the other hand can snipe and potentially down multiple survivors. Huntress also has better play around pallets and windows, Blight can only break them faster if the survivor makes a good read, Huntress can get a hit on them most of the time. Blight does have mobility though which definitely is a strength he possesses which also keeps him on par with huntress, but he is more map-dependent than huntress. On a map like lery's huntress still can use her hatchets at the many windows on the map, Blight is very buggy there and a pain to play on there.

I put Wraith just behind Leatherface because Leatherface still has some good lethality and has the strongest camping ability in the game. This shouldn't undermine the Wraith's new speed though, that alone definitely bumps him up to the B-tier since he is going to be addon dependent no longer.

The Trickster's placement seems about right to me. Unlike trapper, he has SOME chase potential against decent survivors, but that is about it. His main event ability is pretty bad honestly, I am just completely baffled that the devs didn't make it a power that he can pop whenever. Even when he is using it, he is still the same as he is without it. All that changes is his speed by a little bit along with a cooldown. It is very underwhelming.

    Get ready to be burned at the stake by the clown mains.

    All jokes aside, I'd move up Legion, Michael, Demo, and Clown up to B, and then move Pig up C. Trickster and Trapper can stay where they are.

    I won't, since I'm a Legion main, but I'm sure our resident Clown mains will find an appropriate way to punish you.

    Decent tier list. Dunno why Clown & Pig are that low but to each their own since I consider Billy F tier.

    I'd probably switch Doctor and Huntress as well.

    Clown is very low because he is still the worst killer in the game, his 1v1 can be strong... against decent or average survivors. Otherwise, survivors drop pallets early and run away.

    Pig is low because her ambush attack is so very weak. It is way too predictable and isn't that great most of the time. Her traps are also very RNG reliant.

    Huntress feels right to me, I had the pleasure of playing against a really good one twice last night, she was hitting crazy shots left and right and definitely deserves a spot in the A tier.

    Doctor is decent but just very mid-tier. Nothing really special about him other than his shock abilities that do give information, but he is significantly weaker when against survivors who know when to just hold m1. He gets a lot of info, but can't go crazy with it, he is still an m1 killer who can be dealt with.

    lol Billy F tier is not something I agree with in the slightest but ok.

    Just my own experience whenever I play against a Billy, they always end up being survivor chew toys lmao.

    Anyways, while I agree that Clown doesn't have much to work with considering his kit doesn't help in the slightest when it comes to map pressure (even with his new bottles), I don't think that alone makes him deserve D tier. He's a killer that can end chases within seconds and if on a small map, can dominate. Putting him next to Trickster is insanely wrong (I consider Trickster the worst killer in the game as of rn).

    You've hit the nail on the head with Pig although her traps aren't completely useless because while they're RNG reliant and probably won't kill anyone competent, they will still slow the game down and get survivor(s) off of gens in the meantime. That's a huge advantage considering how good she can be with gen defense perks.

    As for Huntress, there are the god tier players out there that put what I'm about to say to shame, but for an average player, she's very "bait-reliant". If the survivors have half a brain and know what they're doing in terms of not bolting into a window first thing, Huntress will have a hard time considering she has to predict what they'll do, as well as manage how many hatchets she has for when she does miss.

    I feel like Doctor can play windows & pallets better than Huntress simply because his shock can hit through objects and stop survivors way before a Huntress can take out her hatchet and throw. Sure the survivors can hold W, but by doing so they're leaving their loop which can potentionally get you a hit if they don't have another lined up straight away. Even if they do, just be prepared to shock away.
