Updating older projectile killers
In order to address krasue's aim mechanics power creeping some older killers that actually have to aim their powers, those powers should be adjusted:
Trickster knives should gravitate toward survivors on their own. Think making survivors magnetic.
Unknown projectiles should also home in on survivors. Aiming is hard and bad. We should fix this.
Plague vomit should be a stream of tiny magnetic blobs that also home in on survivors. For funsies they should bounce off obstacles as well for autoaim bank shots.
Huntress hatchet hitboxes should be increased 25%. Remember: having to aim your power is bad. Not allowed.
These changes would align older killers with the modern design philosophy of putting killers' skill floor at about neck height. Quality of life! Accessibility! That sort of thing.

I too think Krasue's aim assist is way too aggressive. Great point OP!

Yes it is sarcasm and a condemnation of BHVR's recent design choices.
I guess deathslinger could have a shotgun instead of a harpoon so he doesn't have to aim so much? Make the firing cone like half the screen.

To be fair, ranged killers are struggling not necessarily because of power creep, but maps. Most recent maps and updated old maps have a lot of clutter. This is why Huntress is no longer top tier despite her kit not changing in any major way. Trickster is basically powerless at any loop he can't see over and Deathslinger has more or less the same issues plus meh add-ons. To make it worse with the exception of Trickster, they're all 4.4.
Newer ranged killers have projectiles that are not linear which is wear that power creep feeling comes from. You can shoot over things with Unknown, Krasue and Sprintrap without needing direct line of sight. You do more with that unique projectile on top of what other killers are locked into. I think these killers can benefit from some help, but that is at the risk of removing their individuality.
