    Well it's either play Nurse, Billy, or Spirit. Using typical things bbq, nurses, thanat, sloppy butcher etc. Swapping to survivor is also a strong alternative.

    Pop Goes The Weasel, sloppy, thanat, etc. I see those quite often. I use pop now instead of ruin. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Basically the same as before, just replace ruin with one of those.

    Having fun, playing around with different builds and not using 4K as my win condition.

    That's my meta anyway.

    It all depends on what killers you like to play as aswell as how you play them. Ideally you want something to synergize with their powers (like M&A+Whispers on Pig for example) and/or perks to compliment your playstyle/cover up your weaknesses.

    Killers dont really have a meta as different killers have different powers and thus some perks work better then others.

    I guess BBQ is still obviously up there.

    Weasel, Blood Echo, BBQ and Enduring for me.

    Cry a little or cry a lot.

    In reality after so many meta perks and add ons have been balanced it's really up to you and your style. Nothing is blatantly overpowered anymore imo.

    Honestly, I use Legion mostly. The ability to potentially get nearly everyone injured, and keep them healing instead of doing gens is great. If not that, then Pig can keep people busy if they complete gens, or keep them off if they want to remove the trap.

    Don't have DLC? Turn on easy mode with Billy, or try out laying traps as Hag. They both have nice mobility, and can leave a lot of bad situations for survivors.

    Depends on the killer. The strongest killers stayed the same and the weaker killers got weaker. The game sorely needs a content cycle dedicated to maps

    My meta is play something else. Until they fix this MM and ranking system.

    I play demo with discordance, bbq&chili, save the best for last, and pop goes the weasel. Discordance is good all game, cause survivors love working on a gen together. But it can hurt me when everyone is separated. Otherwise I can pressure 2 people early, middle, and if I get into a three gen, I can set up portals with backup portals and absolutely stop any gen from being done.

    My current meta is get to rank 1 and complete the rift, and then stop playing Killer till the new MMR/Ranking system comes out - and tells me if I stop playing this game or not. (not because of the imbalance, but because of what the community has become)
