    I would put nurse a bit higher and oni a bit lower since he’s only a 4.6 till he gets that first hit

    It kinda depends on playstyle, but I'd say that trapper has way more map pressure than pig and GF, but his map pressure can't be measured by how long takes for him to get from A to B, but more like how much of the map he can turn into a death zone with his traps... I'd put huntress higher too since a good one can snipe across most of the maps...

    Keep in mind it's not just about who has better mobility. You getting from point A to point B is much less relevant if you can't get the hit quickly when you get there. It's not pressure because you got there, it's pressure because you got there and got a hit.

    This is to say someone with much better 1v1 potential but just slightly lower map mobility is going to have much better map pressure than someone with slightly better map mobility but not much 1v1 strength.

    Map pressure is not the same thing as map mobility.

    I don't get how Wraith and CLOWN have more map pressure than nurse, but alright.

    im a survivor main and this is really accurate. the only thing that i would change about this is:

    trapper is more of C tier, doctor is definitely A and wraith is C

    Swap Huntress and Wraith then your list is good.

    Clown shouldn't be A-tier. Don't get me wrong he's a great killer, but his map pressure sucks. Also Wraith and Nurse should have their spots swapped.

    I would put Oni down on B, Twins on A, Clown on C, Doctor, Plague and Pig also on B and Bubba on D. Other than that, this list seems pretty accurate.

    I'm curious about why you put Clown in A tier. I have a soft spot for Clown, but one of the most common complaints about him, which I agree with, is that he has basically 0 map pressure.

    Plague is a bit higher than that because of how defensive she can get when survivors cleanse. It's not unlike Hag or Trapper

    It depends on the context. The problem with Deathslinger is that he has to reload every single time he injures someone, and his chases can last a bit longer, so I do agree that he doesn't present the best map pressure. I do agree with clown being in A tier, because a god tier clown can end chases incredibly quickly, and press gens easily. Huntress it depends if we look at the highest level I think she could be B tier. Trickster could most likely move up to C tier, because Tricksters on the highest level so far including me can end chases super quickly, and at least get 2-3 downs before a reload. So typically generating map pressure isn't that difficult with Trickster depending on the map.

    being able to move fast, injure, cloak, force them to heal or stay vulnerable as injured, switch targets, switch back to them, etc. add in sloppy with this (and nurses, if you please), and you have some pretty good map pressure.

    if you're chasing with the invisible stealth killer, I'm not entirely sure what to say.

    Swap Clown and Twins

    Victor can be almost anywhere in a matter of seconds.

    Even with the speedboost gas, Clown still takes a long time to move around maps.

    Clown in D tier. He has no map pressure even with the piss bottles.

    i hear this a lot, but I haven't actually seen a game of it. that doesn't mean i disagree with you though, I'm just open to discuss it.

    not saying that's not the counterplay, I'm sure playing safe and being really smart with positioning is decent counterplay, but i literally haven't seen this so i can't actually comment on its effectiveness against a true stealth playstyle. i need something showing this working in practice, not just the theory of it.
