Who is the killer that all other killers should be judged by?

With survivors always asking for nerfs to strong killers like nurse and blight, and spirit to a significantly lesser degree, it got me thinking: Who exactly is the strong killer currently in the game that killer balance should be judged by? A killer that is agreed by most to be strong, but not so strong that they need to be nerfed in any way? A killer that we wish weaker killers like Trapper, Myers, and Pig were more like?

Who is the most balanced "strong" killer that all killer balance should be judged by?

Prior to his nerf of epic proportions, it was definitely Hillbilly. He was very strong, but had good counterplay. Then the overheat nerf happened along with his addons getting gutted ,and well, the rest is history?

Does any current strong killer meet the criteria to be the killer that all other killers should be judged by in the terms of balance?
