Buffing and Nerfing
I understand that its boring in top tier ranks to only play as and against Huntress, Nurse and Billy but I dont think characters, maps and other stuff should be buffed and nerfed because of top tiers only.
Is there some way to find out how well each killer is performing at each rank? I think by seeing when a killer suddenly makes a downfall you can make changes accordingly? Buff some by a bit and nerf others by a bit and meet in the middle?
Wouldnt it be better for example to have all killers perform well and even at ranks 6-8 for example rather then trying to buff each of them for rank 1 meaning the players that arent really good in ranks 10-20 get stomped on by killers because now each killer is a machine of death? I know thats what they are supposed to do but survivors are also supposed to survive.
I never understood why Doctor isnt a top tier for example since I find it so hard to hide form him when hes near but I hear top players say hes bad. This just shows the skill difference between players and that makes it hard to buff and nerf charcacters because the playerbase is divided by 20 ranks.

Surviving should be difficult in the first place. In the current state of the game it is laughable how easy it is to actually survive. Yeah you have your bad games where you get caught and get camped or die early, but then you have other games where you aren't touched at all. If you're being chased by a killer the chances of you surviving or atleast getting away unharmed should be minimal.
The reason why you see Nurse, Hillbilly and Huntress at the top always is due to them having something in common; They're 3 dimensional in the skill factor. Those 3 killers have actual skill included in them and that's why you see them almost always in the high ranks. Imo all killers should be on the level of Hillbilly. Nurse is the best killer due to her ability to literally cut chases off in seconds. If we ignore Nurse due to her being broken. (I'm a Nurse main and Imo the Nurse should get a rework AFTER the game gets fixed) Then Hillbilly is the best killer, he has a skill factor in him, he has an amazing ability and he doesn't suffer from any negatives.
All killers should be balanced around Hillbilly. Currently all other killers than Nurse, Hillbilly, Huntress and Hag are not viable enough to play in the high ranks. If you want to know why Hag is viable then just ask one of the few actual Hag mains, yes those exists in these forums.0 -
There were several stats they show during stream about how well perform the killer. You will need to do a lot of search through reddit's summaries, though...
There were different stats:
Overall kill rate according to rank. Hillbilly was the most efficient at rank 1.
4k / 3k / 2k / 1k at rank 1. Hag was both the killer with the most 4k and the most 0k. Basically: hit or miss.
Escape chance against each killer. That was pretty much the same for every killer so I don't know how it is related with the previous stats, like, I don't see how all these stats don't contradict themselves. But it's also coming from people who claimed Self Care was barely used while it had a 80% rate of use so...
