What killers/perks are spot on?

As the title suggests, I'm curious what about dbd you think is 'Right where it needs to be, not overtuned and not underwhelming, but juuuuust about right. Not for one side, but for the game as a whole.

Not giving anything myself yet, curious what others think.

    Demo. Dredge. Ghostface, though he badly could use bugfixes and a general update. Wraith. Pig, for what her power is. Oni.

    Notice how I did not mention a single majority-M2 or multi-kit Killer.

    Honestly most fall under what we'd describe as "workable" to us. Its usually just a matter of if we'd have to build around/ pair it with another "workable" to make it stand out or if they get paired with other things it becomes irritating. Examples: Buckle up, We're gonna live forever, made for this, and dealers choice = a middle finger to slugging for the 4k while everyones favorite meta of "stack the slowdowns" needs little explanation.

    Though if we had to pick uno…we'd say either Scurge: Pain Res or Franklins. Limited use powerful effect with semi strict conditions for the first, does 1 thing that has multiple important factors. Flip a coin?

    I think this also holds true for almost all Killers barring a couple, and I'd argue that's very intentional. An M1 itself can be solid or at least workable if your macro and chase are on point. But an M1 with a chase perk or two is a world of difference.

    It's fine my friend, I'm a bit sleep-deprived myself. I started a new job that inverted my sleep schedule and haven't even been able to play any DBD; I'll need to readjust when I play entirely because I otherwise don't have time anymore and I miss the game.

    With the exception of needing an addon pass, Wesker is pretty much perfect imo

    Wraith is the epitome of "just right".

    He is not OP or very weak, his add-ons are decent but not busted, he is a great beginner character, etc.

    SB and BBQ (although I wouldn't say no to the old BP bonus).

    Everything else to me feels like there could always be one niche scenario where it just doesn't feel right.

    Ignoring the "For the game as as a whole" part because it's impossible to do so everyone hates everything in DBD (Mostly survivors hate killers/perks)

    Anyway the best balanced killer for both sides is artist

    High skill floor Powerful

    Fair ammount of counterplay that requires skill and perdicitions not like alien where you just turn off his power

    Everyone you'd want in a killer artist has besides a ton of good addons

    Only 3 worth using
