Which killer desperately needs a change?
I have seen many comments and discussions about which killer needs a change, a buff, a nerf even a rework of his power and addons, the truth is that if it is true, on the one hand I feel that Trickster, Trapper, Myers, Pig, Clown and Legion need a change. I hardly see anyone playing Twins in my games as survivors anymore if I'm honest, I rarely see Clown and I never see Plague.

Spirit / Legion / Plague
Spirit, Freddy, and Legion in that order.
And while that happens buff trapper.

Spirit / Legion / Plague
Legion requires a rework or a completely separate secondary power. If they're good, they will break the game due to ignoring all game mechanics with 0 skill involved, and if they're not good, they're as they are now, terrible.

Spirit / Legion / Plague
Legion definitely needs a rework
0 -
Deathslinger / Pyramid-Head / Blight
Deathslinger needs zoning removed in exchange for other buffs.
0 -
Freddy / Pig / Clown
Pig - Her RNG with head traps needs to be changed so they at least can't get them off on the first try.
0 -
Spirit / Legion / Plague
Just because everyone is saying legion needs a rework.
0 -
Spirit. Zero counter play.

Trapper / Wraith / Hillbilly
Trapper needs some kind of buff, rework, change... ANYTHING that can help him a bit. He's first on my list, the game's mascot deserves better. Then...
2- Trickster is just too weak, he desperately needs some changes or buffs. As of now, it's painful to play as him in mid/high ranks.
3- Twins are terrible. Great idea, poorly executed imo. Winning by slugging sucks.
4- Myers is kind of an outdated Killer, although his snowball potential is still quite high.
Oh and I'm glad people don't play too much Plague. She's super annoying to go against, and somewhat strong. Maybe she's not super fun to play as? Not sure why she has such a low pick rate. Anyway, she surely doesn't need changes as much as the others I mentioned.

Ghostface / Demogorgon / Oni
I am VERY biased here but I really think the Devs need to iron out Ghostface's reveal mechanic because it is just blatantly broken in it's current state. I don't think I've EVER had a match playing against Ghostface or playing as him, where it felt like the reveal mechanic was working perfectly. Just the other day, I had a situation where Ghosty was out in the open (He wasn't even bothering to hide) stalking me and no matter what I did, the game didn't even BEGIN to break him out of stealth. He managed to mark me as a result of that but I can't remember if it actually resulted in a down or not. Either way, I don't think the player was hacking as there was no other suspicious activity in that match and I've also had many similar situations against other Ghostface players. I don't play Ghostface much myself as I don't enjoy his playstyle very much but back when I did, the reveal mechanic felt just as unfair. Sometimes I would get broken out of stealth even when behind cover and sometimes the game would just decide that I'm immune to being broken out of stealth. Perhaps it's not super high priority for a lot of people but it really frustrates me that Ghostface is essentially left in a blatantly broken state because he's not played often enough for it to be a problem.
If they were to address his broken reveal mechanic then they should give him an add-on pass while they're at it. He's far too reliant on his recovery add-ons and all of his other add-ons are much weaker in comparison. The recovery add-ons turn him from a C tier Killer to a solid B tier Killer in my opinion and therefore, they should make at least one of them base-kit.

Trapper / Wraith / Hillbilly
Trapper deserves so much better. He's the poster boy come on!

Trapper / Wraith / Hillbilly
The Trapper really needs some help, he's quite weak in his current state.
0 -
Spirit / Legion / Plague
I’m saying Spirit because she’s my favorite killer and I really want her balanced.
0 -
Nurse / Huntress / Myers
Myers is very outdated.
0 -
Trapper / Wraith / Hillbilly
Trapper needs to be able to carry 2 traps at base and he needs the rng for his trap generation made better.
0 -
Spirit / Legion / Plague
Nerf for spirit, rework for legion, general jank fix for plague
0 -
Twins / Trickster
Both of these Killers.
Spirit may be controversial, but at least she has a functioning power that gives people a reason to play her.
T&T are just very badly designed and in desperate need of changes to be more fun to face and play as.
-
Trickster needs a rework - being a low risk, low reward Killer isn't fun.
It doesn't matter how much he misses, he will hit you enough times eventually. However that eventually is long enough that the Trickster will probably lose the game if he chases Survivors that play around his power.
And on the flip side the Survivors are going to go down, unless the Trickster has bad aim or is scared to commit. You can't loop a Killer that only needs LOS to down you.

Twins needs major changes. They have no play style outside of camping and slugging.
And even if you enjoy camping and slugging, they now suffer worse from BT than other campers and their slugging is softcountered by Survivors that just stay together in pairs.
This is to say nothing of the many bugs that they still have, which make the experience of playing them a bit... Unpredictable.
You're much better off playing Bubba or Huntress if you want to get your slug or camp on. And if you don't you're probably not going to have fun playing as The Twins.
As for facing them; Victor has no chase music and doesn't count as being chased by the Killer with regards to BP or Emblems. There's no reward for wasting Victor's time unless you crush him.
Crushing him also isn't very rewarding (outside of it being great fun to watch the animation) because Charlotte gets him back in about 6 seconds. You gain next to nothing for doing it, and it's not something you have control of anyway - The Twins have to mess up for you to be able to crush Victor.
And finally, facing the Twins is only really doable if you're in a SWF or are playing with REALLY good solos. No BT, WGLF, fast medkits or buddy system mean that the Twins can absolutely slaughter you and your team. It's not unusual for people to bleed out, or nearly bleed out, from all the slugging. And there's not much fun about spending 2+ minutes watching the faint auras of your random solo q teammates as they get chased.

TL;DR ::: Trickster needs a rework and Twins need a major overhaul.
0 -
Spirit / Legion / Plague
Spirit needs a source of counterplay. Legion needs a full-on rework.
Oh and also...
