Who do you think are the most balanced Killers?
By "Balanced," I mean not too weak, not too powerful, and are just right, or at least close to it.
In my opinion, The Wraith, The Huntress, The Doctor, and The Nightmare are the most balanced Killers. I have no complaints whatsoever about those four, no buffs and no nerfs needed.
This is unless you take add-ons into consideration, to which I believe Iridescent Head on Huntress is still OP even after it's nerf, and Freddy has some terrible add-ons ever since his nerf.
Obviously, The Huntress gets a lot of horrible hits on you because of DBD's bad hitboxes, but that's not a Huntress specific issue, it's just DBD's garbage hitboxes.

Old doctor was extremely clunky so ye

Eh, you're right, Doc is alright. I didn't think about him. I'll add him to the list.

Nurse and Blight. I'm not kidding.

Nemesis is the most balanced killer in DbD
3 -
I disagree, I find him to be actually kinda bad.
4 -
You're a funny guy. Everyone knows Nurse isn't balanced. Great joke!
It's debatable on whether or not I find Blight to be completely balanced. I generally don't mind playing against him but sometimes I see him do some rather shocking plays.
8 -
Blight, offers plenty of counterplay while being really strong. Excellent map mobility, excellent chase potential. All while being really fun to play against.
2 -
I said i was not kidding, Nurse is one of the few viable at top play, and she gets 1 or 2 kills maybe 3 at a good game in comps.

Why?
0 -
Because he is?

I've never been able to effectively counter a very good Nurse. Maybe prolong the chase a bit, make them miss a few blinks, but often they do inevitably catch me. I've had more issues with Nurses than I have with Spirits. I could just chalk this up to me being bad at it, however, I never see anyone else counter good Nurses either, they always get destroyed.

Doc is a clear choice.
I would also say PH, Fred, Ghosty, Plague are pretty damn close to perfect.

I personally don't mind Pyramid Head all that much, but I'm not sure if I could call him "completely balanced" due to how easy it is to tunnel someone as him. Ghost Face I think is terrible for the most part, but I'm also not a fan of his horrible reveal system, I always get exposed by Ghost Faces that I can clearly see and it feels cheap. Plague depends on how the Survivors play, if they don't cleanse much then she's very average and basically functions like a better Legion, keeping everyone injured, as well as countering Iron Will. But if they do cleanse a lot, she becomes Huntress on crack.

Because nurse is better than spirit. And you are not supposed to counter a killer i don't even know what this means, you are just supposed to last as long as possible in chase and gain time for your team, but this is like that with nurse and every other killer. Nurse is the best killer against the best survivors and it's not even that strong against them so I would say it's the most balanced killer, I stand by that.

Plague & Oni
2 -
Well you have a point with just last as long as possible, can't argue with that. However, it feels a lot like Nurses end chases far too quickly.
0 -
Blight and Oni are in great spots now. Oni is perfect after the Scottknot change.
0 -
Depend high level player its nurse and blight they are the only one who can compete.
On the average level player i would say PH, Huntress and Demogorgon
0 -
The only big problem I have with Oni is leaving blood orbs even while you're using No Mither..
1 -
Well, he is not. He is actually in the perfect spot of balance. He has a good anti-loop ability, but with downsides and counterplay. He has some form of 4v1, which is useful, but not too much. He has normal speed, so he keeps the ability to play normally if he wants. Balanced.
0 -
Honestly, hot take and call me bias, but when the midchapter drops, it will be Spirit.
1 -
Wraith and Blight
0 -
What survivors do/don't do against a character does not effect balance IMO. Yes Ghosty reveal system is not so great but goes both ways...I get revealed when hiding behind rocks/walls all the time. You have to get tormented in order to be sent to cage which can be avoided pretty easily (except those tiny invisible spots). Plague is beautiful nuff said.
1 -
Oni, Demo, Doctor and maybe PH even tho his add ons are #########

Overall: Doctor or Leatherface. But I enjoy Blight most.
Killers I think are too strong:
Wraith(He feels cheap and easy both to play as and against. Sorry. )
Nurse(Nurse get's a free pass for being absurdly hard though.)
Killers I think are balanced:
Blight(Real fun to play against and very strong. Favorite killer to play against. Also fun to play.)
Spirit(Everyone whines about her but I main Spirit so I can actually bully allot of the bad ones.)
Hag(They are all either utterly awful or insanely good.)
Huntress(I personally hate this killer but she isn't OP.)
Doctor(On the whole Doctor is nice and wholesome while not feeling bullyable. Pretty much perfectly balanced.)
Plague(Not much to say really.)
Deathslinger(Same as Huntress.)
Oni(I like him. He's fun to play against.)
Nemesis(I love him. He's fun to play against. I also enjoying playing as him. I love the Zombie bros. Favorite killer. Though maybe a little weak.)
Cenobite(He either ######### destroys everyone or loses horribly.)
Trickster(He's okay.)
Executioner(Same as Trickster.)
Pig(She seems pretty strong if she's good. But she is very hard to play and just not rewarding enough. She's a subpar Blight.)
Leatherface(Ehhh? He is right up there with Doctor for perfectly balanced. Except for the ones that camp. ######### those guys. I T-bag the crap out of them.)
Legion(Annoying but but actually kinda weak.)
Clown(Annoying but but actually kinda weak.)
Killers I think are too weak:
Demogorgon(Poor thing...😔)
Trapper(Poor thing...😔)
Twins(Poor thing...😔)
Clown(Poor thing...😔)
Hillbilly(Poor thing...😔)
Ghostface(Poor thing...😔)
Shape(Poor thing...😔 Unless he brings the OP addons then ######### him. I'm T-bagging if I escape.😮)

I don't understand why everyone thinks Clown is bad. I think he's very good.
1 -
I would say Pyramid Head, Doctor (love playing against him but I never see him), Bubba, Nemesis, Spencer and Trickster. I enjoy playing against all of those Killer as well!
1 -
He's great against bad Survivors, but awful against even decent one's.
3 -
Honestly I actually struggle with Clown but everyone says he's weak so he's weak I guess.
1 -
Oni has one of the strongest powers in the game with one of the worst start games and easiest powers to negate. Oni is very survivor dependant which makes him well balanced.
0 -
Spencer...? I'm assuming you mean Pinhead.
0 -
Demo for sure . Has anti loop, mobility/map pressure, 115% movement. There’s counter play to all of it as well. I think huntress as well.
0 -
Balanced I'd say Hag, Oni, Demo, Leatherface, Huntress, and Doctor.
0 -
Blight in my opinion.
0 -
Pyramid head has always felt the most balance. Meaning he is at a level were he can demolish most teams. His power is varied, and quite simple. He has many thing going for him, such avoiding ds and bt. But huntress could also be a contender since she feels like she is average at everything, meaning she has potential to destroy most teams. But is not OP, meaning she can't avoid the basics of the game. Now all these killers require some form of skill, so they can be average so long as the users has knowledge of the game.
1 -
None. Because maps and map RNGs have way too many factors that affect balance.
Maybe Wraith or Oni can be generally balanced. But considering maps, I don't know.
1 -
She might very well be.
But what does “balanced” actually mean? I know to many survivor mains here, “balanced” means that they have a way to counter everything in a killer’s power and/or that they can bully said killer.
To me, a balanced killer would be a killer that is viable at high-level play without having any broken mechanics. Note, this is different to being a “middle of the pack killer”, which a majority of the roster is at or worse right now.
Balanced right now (after the patch) would probably be Spirit, Oni, Hag. Oni can be slightly screwed if he gets a map like RPD, though. The other 2 aren’t map dependent.
Nurse is OP but no one seems to complain about her because she “takes skill”.
1 -
I disagree with Hag. I think she's a little insane.
0 -
Why? She moves at 110, but compensates with her territorial power.
0 -
Oni and Blight.
0 -
Have you seen basement Hag?
0 -
You could argue the same for basement Trapper.
That doesn't mean they are OP.
3 -
I play a lot of clown. A good clown can landside a game in the last 2/3 gens because of how strong you can make him in in close quarters. Due to how rapidly the landside happens some survivors see it as camping/tunneling when its really just the Clown . However if you fail to push survivors into a corner the match becomes significantly harder.
This gives people the impression clowns either suck or just "tunnel and camp".
0 -
Basement Hag is much worse because of the huge trap trigger radius. And having all her traps at once.
0 -
You can crouch lol
2 -
If youre going off comp play thats terrible, since everything used is basically on the OP side of things, thats Nurse included
1 -
I'm not sure. It's hard to compare a killer power to the power survivors have.
