Why is this game worth playing as a low tier killer?

First of all.... i dont like to play killers who i do not consider fun to play for me... and the high tier killers unfortunately theese type of killers. I like playing with clown (witch is my favourite) and leaterface the most, but with theese killers i just feel so hopeless going against teams way above my rank. For example there is no way to play against purples when you are purple rank killer, you get only red survivors, most of time full SWF. The dilemma is that i can play high tier killers whitch i totally not enjoy or play the fun killers to me and get totally bullied and no chance to even +1. How can i escape from this "trap"? If something will not be done for the game balance in the near future, there will be too few ppl who play killer and survivor queues will not be instant. I do not want to play Civilizations permamently... 😐️

    We can't expect all killers to be equal. They have different powers, as such some are going to be inherently weaker than others.

    Try playing for your own win conditions and maybe ignore the entity's opinion. Or maybe map offerings for when you play weaker killers.

    The mid to lower tier killers rely on map RNG if the survivors are good. Really no way around it. Some maps are better than others, but the Coldwind series is pretty egregious. They tend to essentially have one long chained together safe loop if the killer is a Clown, Pig, etc.

    The tier list is a scam mentality. It isn't real. The tier list is simply "how well do the rest of the killers compare to Nurse?" "Low-tier" killers have great stuff going for them, just gotta play them the way their power/style encourages

    Low tier killers are very map dependent, and even then, if you go against optimal survivors, you'll most likely lose. Just accepting that and simply trying to do the best helps me enjoy playing with those killers a lot. Just try to get as many hooks as possible.

    "Most of the time full swf".

    Well that's just statistically untrue. 4 man swf are what, less than 5 or 10 % of all matches?

    Also, do t worry about pips. Or rank. They're nothing more than a broken matchmaking system. If you wanna play for fun, play for fun. Dont feel like you have to do so well to enjoy the game.

    This.


    All low tier killers work great in their own right.

    Just solo grind that one killer until you're an absolute God at that lower tier killer and you will do well!
