After all of the changes to Blight, I would like to see stats on how he's performing at red ranks
As a blight main, I am becoming more and more certain that Blight is currently the strongest killer in Dead by Daylight. He's relatively well liked as a killer, and he's been treated well by the development team with regular quality of life improvements to his kit since his inception. But I suspect that he may have been given just a bit too much love and is now out performing all other killers.
We have not seen statistics on Blight except for right after he was released. I would like to see how he's currently performing in red ranks.
What is your opinion on Blight?

There is no chance he is stronger than Nurse or Spirit. I’m sure stats will show him as doing well since most can’t play survivor well.

I think he's going to be more like Nurse where his stats will be heavily affected by how well people use him. He is, indeed, a strong Killer. He has a strong argument for being within the top 5 strongest Killers in the game, if not top 3. He is a bit map dependent, however, which technically hurts his meta and would likely hurt his stats. Indoor maps destroy him, which is not as much of an issue for Spirit or Nurse.

I think his 115% movement speed makes him a lot better then nurse for beginner. So i think his killrate is in the middle.

Blight is seeing competitive play, so his power level isn't too drastically different than either nurse or spirit. And it's not like in competitive play Nurse or Spirit are 4k'ing every match. So they're not some unstoppable gods either.

Room for another Blight main here?
IMO he's one of the strongest killers in the game, at the top of the A tier on my list. However he does suffer from a few things, such as being bad on certain maps (Rotten Fields, Lery's, Hawkins), however unlike Billy he can handle them alright.
He also suffers from being bad in certain loops. In his defense, he's extremely powerful in shack and jungle gyms.
His power is very punishing if you miss, making him very similar to Nurse. However if you fail, from what it seems it makes you better at Blight. Trial and error is the way to go. Finally, he has insane mobility and solid chase power which is his main strength.
I don't think he's better than Nurse or Spirit, but he's pretty damn good.

In terms of stats I wouldn´t be suprised if he was the strongest performer at red ranks right now. Let´s please bear in mind that their last statistics showed Nurse to be the weakest of them all so it´s kinda dumb to take them at face value.
99/100 Blights are running the same, very strong build - it utterly destroys any team that isn´t an above average 4-man by default if the Blight is at least somewhat decent. This might be an unpopular opinion but as far as I´m converned, the S tier killers should all be significantly nerfed to increase overall game health. (Yes, the 14+ trash Killers should also be buffed!)

Stats are an odd thing, and definitely not the end-all-be-all. Keep in mind that when you sort for the top % of killers, Oni comes out as the highest kill rate. He's obviously not the strongest, arguably not even top 5, but stats alone would lead you to believe he is.
I have a feeling Blight will be somewhere lower than Nurse or Spirit, in large part because he's much more difficult to play on console and has a high skill cap in general. Plus many maps hard counter him.
3rd best killer in the game, no question. Just not sure the numbers will reflect that.

he has such a high win rate because all of you run devour on him, camp totems, and use j/z flicking (exploits) to compensate for his average ability and add ons🤦🏼♀️please

blights not so bad on consoles these days if youre on current gen. his sensitivity buff alone took him out of "nearly unplayable" tier

You know devour doesn't work with lethal rush?
0 -
that’s literally my point 😭 blights can hide their devour until they start killing survivors with their hands

Last time I checked the dev's stats blight had nurse tier KR(Aka stats says he needs more buffs tier)....
He has had a infamously bad release state which has only been recently fixed(Along with an insane amount of buffs) so his stats are probably going to remain garbage for a long time.
PS. Devour hope isn't very good on blight as you usually get the first hit on someone with lethal rush which kinda defeats the entire point of exposed.

Blight is probably the 3rd or 4th most powerful killer in the game, but he only gets powerful if the person playing him knows what they're doing. He's one of the few killers whose chase is a constant back and forth between the skill of the killer and the survivors. The killer gives the tools for their player to use, the survivors need to use their tools the best as possible to counter the killer's tools.
I don't think Blight should ever get his power level changed unless they drastically nerf survivors as a whole since it's ok to have powerful skill intensive killers. I'd rather they make other killers more powerful.

Definitely think Blight is 2nd. Spirit is everyone's punching bag because of the "no counterplay" argument but I think mobility is king in DBD and Blight has it in spades.
Nurse is 1st. She is broken because she has mobility and cannot be looped, which is survivors only way to waste Killers time so your teammates can get gens done. She needs a rework. I'd say just give her normal killer speed and let her have 4 Blinks after a wait period, similar to how Spirit has a wait time before using her power then she has to wait to use it again.

I often lose two totems before the first chase is over. Devour is always a gamble.

He may not be nurse or spirit but he is really strong right now... Def top 5 imo.

I don't think anything's more punishing than Legion. LOL Miss an attack and not only do you you cancel out your power, but you incur a stun that's equivalent to DS, AND it takes forever to build your power back up. In many ways Blight is the better Legion.

Real stats, which can be broken down into categories, or dev stats, which take a lump sum without anything else to go on?

I would say that Twins are even more punishing

To each their own, but I disagree. Once Victor is kicked, not only do you immediately switch back to Charlotte, but it's only a matter of seconds before you have him back.

Without add ons hes ok you're gonna have a rough time against decent loopers. What makes hurts him the most is certain maps and the slide bugs. If that last part didn't exist he'd be better. Do I think he's overperfoming? Nope. He's literally unplayable on console and he can still be looped so he's in a good spot.

As a nurse main with almost 2k hours and the majority of those hours in nurse. There is no way this is true. Maybe against a bad nurse, but i could probably win games without perks and without using my mouse most of the time when i play nurse. In the right hands she is by far the best in the game.

Why should a beginner not get better results with blight then with nurse?

Ya i main legion in rank 1 and if u miss a frenzy hit u might aswell go back to the lobby and grt into a new lobby before u recover from that

He's like Nurse. Too many bugs and poor design decisions holding him back.
