Comparing the First with the Unknown
Between the 2 area of effect killers, which one would you say is stronger in game?
And would you nerf/buff either one to bring them to the same level?
Thr first's main counters are: holding W staying out of reach, rapid shot prediction, and breaking line of sight.
The unknowns main counters are: maintaining line of sight, rapid shot prediction, and teleport illusion removal.
(Atleast from what ive seen/experienced playing as/against so far)

First is stronger by a large margin. With good prediction and/or aura reading, he's a real menace in close quarters. And his map traversal is pretty good for catching up after an initial hit.
Unknown isn't a very good Killer in my opinion. The attempts they've made to buff him have inadvertently made him weaker by gutting add-ons he was heavily reliant on. He's way too punishing compared to every other ranged Killer. Direct hits are meaingless, and there's zero room for error. Failing to land a UVX hit effectively resets the chase because you don't have enough time to try again before the Survivor can remove Weakened. Miss half of your hatchets as Huntress and you can still comfortably win a match. Miss half of your shots as Unknown and you'll never get a single injury. I wouldn't mind missing being so punishing, if it wasn't for the fact that misses often feel out of your control. The "bounce" of the projectile is unintuitive on a lot of DbD's geometry.

Im a Unknown main and i would say The Unknowns has a better counter play than The First but has a easier power (in my opinion) to use and understand. The first has a more area of effect power and honestly its more frustrating to use.
When I go Against These two its always The Unknown who is on top and The First I barely feel any threat. The only time I die is if I really mess up or if was a bad prediction.
I think is has more to do with Consistency in there powers as well. The Unknown is about being Unpredictable so the inconsistent helps with that, if who is playing as his him is good with him. As For The First once you got him down he is very Consistent with his power mainly his main M2 attack. He can be countered by holding W and Haste perks like Sprint Burst. So his consistency is what hurts him there as well
So I had to say The Unknown (Yes a B tier killer) is better to play as than The First. Again this is my opinion. If you have something different into this topic fill free to correct me

This exactly the First is way stronger the unknown due to how punishing UVX with how easy and fast it is to cleanse weakened not to mention how easy the reveal mechanic is and 3 second continuing cleanse buffer when you look away from him.
Basically the shot comparison between
The first: You land a hit that's great you just need one more, you miss that's okay you can immediately try again with no resets.
The Unknown: you land a hit that's good just need one more: you miss that's a full reset now you need two more shots again and gotta wait for the long cooldown to be able to shoot again.

I dream of a shorter CD for Unknown, it's so punishing. I really want to play as them more, they are so much fun when it goes right.
it's such a simple change and it'd give them so much breathing room.0 -
With the success of the first and how basically everyone sees unknown when it's his turn for an update I definitely expect this to happen
