Which Killer Deserves Buffs First?

Title. If devs start to buff weak killers, who have to be first one?


For me, Trapper. I really love him but he is so weak on high ranks. He is face of DbD and weak for years. I hope Trapper gets good buffs one day.

    Legion has never been in a healthy state since his release so I’d go with him

    I'd say trapper as well.

    Any Killer that can't move super fast and use Tnkerer / Ruin / Pop meta.

    Most of killers then? Because most killers have not map mobility.

    It's true and, why most Killers don't get played often.

    They all have 50-80% kill rates across levels so they won’t be buffed. Killer players will have to actually get good at the game (in theory), which I know is not a popular idea lol.

    My boi Trapper. The way survivorA trapped, I was 10m away coming. Then survivorB cross my path, I slash him, whip the blade and survivorA already escape. It was 2 attempts at best.

    I feel robbed.

    Billy addon pass.

    Pig addon pass.

    Trickster basekit buff.

    Shape addon pass.

    Pretty much everyone else is fine imo but for small tweaks. Ghostface’s power cooldown could use a buff for instance.

    I guess Nemesis and Trickster are the most likely, since the devs said that they plan on balance challenges for killers after there release within the next patches.

    I do hope Nemesis still gets some small buffs, his zombies in particular need their AI fixed and improved so they can apply more map pressure.

    However, in general I think Trapper really needs a buff. I don't enjoy going against him and don't play him often, but he is the first killer of the game and he is in quite the rough state.

    Myers - basically the prime example of a powercreeped Killer. When I started playing Myers was rated as an A-Tier Killer, now he barely makes the C-Tier.

    Also, they can finally remove/nerf the Tombstone Piece and Tuft of Hair, really outdated Add Ons which should not exist anymore.

    Trapper. Here is what I think I needs:

    1. Trapper bag base kit (adjust add ons accordingly)

    2. Prevent traps from spawning in dead zones.

    3. DH is not immune to bear trap.

    Bonus buff:

    Upon a successful trap, that trap will automatically reset after 15 seconds. That way after you pick up the trapped person you don't need to go all the way back to reset that sprung trap. It would be interesting to have this instead of irr stone and rework irr stone into something else.

    They were created in a time where a lot of really busted stuff was in the game. Those Add Ons are also busted.

    There is achievement for that: Mori everyone on T3. So i do not think him mori add-ons will go. But they can nerf them, infinite Myers is kinda op. But him base-kit needs some buffs. For example why he is so slow on T1?

    Trickster needs it the most, as he is easily the weakest killer in my opinion.

    Trapper deserves it the most as he has been in a bad state overall for the longest time.

    Legion and clown could definitely use some overall small buffs as their power is only good at 1v1 chase and they could use something to help with map pressure.

    Billy needs the overheat removed and an addon rework to get rid of the meme addons.

    Demo and Freddy need addon reworks as many of them are useless.

    Actually, all killer addons that inflict blindness, hemorrhage, short term oblivious, or short term broken, need to be looked at. They're all pretty terrible.

    The stalking killers need some kind of buff, especially Myers. Stalking has been a pretty lackluster power for a while, and now with the wraith buffs spine chill is seeing more use. That perk alone on 2-3 survs in a match kills myers, ghostface, and pig.

    Because they're from an era back when Moris were doable on the first down and brand new parts instant popped a generator. In those dark times, the rare stuff was meant to squash games

    Talking about the Tombstone Piece, the purple Add On here. The Tombstone (pink Add On) is better balanced, because it needs way more Stalk and has a Movement Speed-Debuff.

    I think Myers should have a passive progression on his Tier 1 and maybe even Tier 2, similar to Oni, but a little bit faster. Or they can scrap Tier 1 completely and make it an Add On (built-in into Scratched Mirror for example).

    Trapper: Brown Bag base kit, removal of RNG from his kit, set amount of traps each game, all will spawn around middle of the map, trap now has a set escape timer,

  • Northener1907

    Yes, i agree with that. I think they have to remove Tier 1.

    Tier 1 - 110% movement speed.

    Tier 2 - That will be same Tier 3 Myers. But when time end and Michael back to Tier 1, he will keep 115% movement speed.

    And rework him broken add-ons. Infinite is kinda op when you combo it with mori add-on.

    But Myers is stalking so slow and him stalks limited. Maybe remove stalk limit. And he will be good B-Tier. Not op not up.

    I'd say Trapper, Trickster, and the Legion in that order
