Who is the strongest killer in the game right now
Comments
-
I did pre - nerf. Not anymore. An earlier poster said either you pressure the map or you pressure a survivor. You can't do both anymore with these "updated" add-ons and now a cooldown on top of fatigue? You will never convince me these nerfs are helpful in anyway.

noone argues that she was nerfed, but you are honesty saying you think she isn’t the best killer right now still?

No I do not. Spirit, Freddy, and Billy are higher than her now. You have better mobility and you're not penalized for using their power. What good is hers when the devs butchered it in the way that they have?

I would not say Nurse is the strongest on console (xbox1) at least. She is a blast to go against, but you won't see much of her.
The one I just don't enjoy going against the most is the Doctor, he's got too much going for him. He may be the strongest (for console).

In terms of raw power, and maximum potential, Nurse. The ability to completely ignore terrain is just so strong in general.
Freddy is also extremely strong, since he has the ability to close loops off and apply map pressure.
Spirit does have great mobility and the ability to mind-game like few other killers.
Billy, though, is what I would say is the most accessible and stronger than the other 3 I've listed with less effort. While I do believe that the Spirit, Freddy and Nurse are stronger, Hillbilly is simply easier to pick up and do well with. You don't have to devote as much time to do as well. People have flamed me for this opinion, I don't care any more. It is MY opinion and one that I have come to after lots of play and consideration.

Fair enough, okay well I guess you’re entitled to your opinion

I agree that he has the ability to just overwhelm a team, especially if a few of them are not good loopers. And he doesn’t require as much practice/understanding as the Nurse or spirit

I'm trying to think of this in terms of base killer power, no perks or add-ons to boost that power. So with that in mind...
It has to be Freddy 2.0. He can get bloodlust on you while simultaneously slowing your loops with snares. Those snares reveal location globally. He can teleport to generators directly. His lunge is huuuuugge.
Of course any killer with the right build in the right hands can be devastating but at their base, I believe Freddy to be the strongest.

Thats right. I base my view of killers on how well i play against them, and from what i experience post nerf Nurse has not been a problem for me. Sure that mythical god Nurse might skin me in a second but until then i will stick to the idea that she is no longer the best.

Hag if she's in the right hands

I don’t really worry how I perform against bad killer players

When 90% of Nurse you face are bad and the other 10% are no better than Freddy, Billy, Spirit you need to wonder if maybe Nurse just isnt as good anymore. I would rather make my decisions on killers based on experience than that mythical 5000 IQ epic god gamer Nurse i hear about in the forums.
Dont get me wrong, Nurse is still good and pre nerf Nurse was amazing but after the nerf i havent faced any god Nurses and the ones that did give me a hard time were on the level of Freddy.

imo ghostie on on top tier killers so I would say spirit, ghostie and billy
0 -
Even though i suck with her, I'd still say nurse is the best in the right hands. Spirit, Billy and Freddy being the other top tier killers

On pc atleast it's kind of a toss up between nurse and spirit nurse is harder to play though.

Uh. My hospital care-taker. Not only can she teleport in and out of this dimension, but she's pretty cute, too.
Edit was -her- dimension to -this- dimension

There's not a clear #1 right now. Depends on killer loadout and survivor loadout.
Nurse completely depends on her add ons if we're saying she's the best. Absolutely not if we're saying no add ons. Really poor map pressure at base range/cooldown and sketchy chase potential relative to the number of Dead Hards. Plus, maps play a big factor. She's the best if she hits every blink, but the nerfs arguably put too much of that in the survivors hands.
Spirit can depend on Iron Will and how bugged the sounds are on each map. Some survivor sounds interact differently with each map. Super inconsistent right now.
Freddy can be looped like everyone else at the start. The game can be over for him before it starts.
Hag has severe issues against coordination and comms. She can always get two in a worst case scenario. Who is playing for a 2k?
Billy can be looped.
Oni is a wildcard here due to snowball potential.

heres how I determine my tiers, you’re given a chance to win a million dollars if a player gets 4K with the killer you pick... one game any bulls who do you pick? I take Nurse and it’s not even close, you’re telling me you’d have more faith in Scottjund or Tofu for example getting a 4K with Freddy?

We have different ways of determining tiers i see. I determine killer tiers based on experience and how well i do. While i have seen a good bit of experienced Nurses, post nerf, they are all on the level of Freddy/Spirit and i have also seen even more trash Nurses who get looped by running in corn. I have yet to play against that legendary 420 no scope Nurse that i keep hearing about in forums.
If i were to be given a million dollars under the condition that a streamer gets a 4k i would not pick Nurse, there are other killers that have more consistent matches. If it was before the nerf then i would agree 100%.
