Best Killer for Current Meta?

Put your vote out. Explain yourself.

Spirit. Because she is good and always will be good, even against master survivors a good spirit can win.

    Nurse. She has bad maps (corn and Haddonfield) but she requires a juking skill that a lot of survivors don't have. Most survivors have one Nurse juke in their repertoire, and once you've identified it, you can end chases hilariously fast. I often have games where survivors start off confident making no effort to hide, only to go fully immersed within 3 minutes. No other killer does that.

    Spirit, debatably Nurse. Spirit is probably the most consistent with her performance and much easier to pick up than Nurse. If you dedicate every waking second to getting good with current Nurse, then maybe you could consistently outperform Spirit. Also Spirit doesn't get cucked by certain maps as consistently as Nurse.

    Unsure, to be honest the Spirit is kind of easy to double back on if you have any kind of experience along with the nurse. I think in terms of being over-powered they are definitely in the top tier but I do also think that The Pig should be up there as she can go undetected, sprint and also place the traps which are extremely irritating. The plague is also high up there also with Huntress. However, playing survivor these are extremely boring to play against and not exciting in the slightest! That will always go to Michael Myers!!! Closely followed by Trapper and Ghostface!

    Hillbilly. As there are no map he feels disadvantage at. Extremely good at finding survivors. Insane map pressure. New ruin fits him the best and basically can win you a losing game if it stays. Has an instant down therefore survivors cant save each other during a chase by simply taking a hit. New incoming perk that allows them to share health states will hurt every killer and feels meh against Billy. Incomnig sabotage will not hurt Billy much or at all.

    Hillbilly - he doesn't rely on sound (that tends to be broken from patch to patch) as much as spirit and nurse do , has arguably best mobility , perma oneshot , doesn't need to prep in the beginning , thx to his perma oneshot can be deadly even in the late game when doors are open and most importantly easiest to learn out of all meta killers .

    It's a toss up.

    Nurse if you're good with her will always be the strongest but Freddy can handle pretty much anything, He's very easy to play All you have to do is spam your traps at loops. Spirit is a good choice too but not as easy as Freddy in my opinion.

    Doctor

    If you run bbq, whispers, corrupt and pop while being able to consistently put survivors into tier 3 for most of the match then doc has insane stall to finish off the survivors because no one can do tens except possible for 2. Whispers is on there so it will always be a guaranteed tier up for madness on a survivor possibly putting them in tier 3 when their on a gen allowing you to pop it or kick it and chase them forcing gens to go slower.

    Depends how much you want to invest in learning the killer. Nurse is best once mastered. Freddy does extremely well considering how easy he is to play and Billy is great killer once you learn how to curve with him.
