Godot's Personal Killer Tier List. (Playing As/Against)

I have decided to create a tier list of my own of killers, because this seems to be a popular thing right now so I thought why not. The main tier list that I listed above is determined by "playing AGAINST" said killer. SS tier will be the killers that I "can't ever escape whenever I play against" as a survivor, and D tier is one that I "can almost always escape whenever I play against" them. A note before you read it all; you will see the sentence "don't see them that often" or "not many people play them" a lot.

SS -

Hillbilly: One of the best killers to play with, and the worst to play against. Whenever the killer is the Hillbilly, you got a 95% chance of losing unless the killer is a baby. If they're red ranked, you're just done for. Personally, I can't play as him, I suck. I will admit that much. Going against him is a pain, but I respect the way others play the game.

Spirit: This is the only killer in the game that I'd say is overused, but really fun to play with. It's frustrating to play against, and I will always call myself a champion if I escape a Spirit.

Cannibal: I can't play as Bubba, but funny enough other people sure can. Jesus Christ, "Bubba is D tier". What a joke. Call me bad at the game, but every time I get a Bubba, it's some red rank douche with speed perks and addons.

S -

Doctor: Oh, Doctor. Every time I feel anger, I play as him and murder all survivors. Going against him is a big meh. Some Doctors are actually really good and frustrating to play against, some are not that great.

Plague: I would have put Adiris in SS tier just because of how toxic can people be with this killer. Very fun to play as, not so much against.

Deathslinger: I can 90% never escape a Deathslinger. This killer is a joke. But the people like him, so whatever. It's starting to get a bit boring facing him, by the way.

A -

Shape: Don't see him that often. Fun to play as and against. Belongs in A tier because not many people play him but still a good killer.

Wraith: I don't see Wraith that often either. Some people run crazy builds with him, others just try him out or do challenges with him. Definitely not an easy killer to escape when playing against, but I think it's really fun to play as him.

Trapper: The most basic killer ever can also be complex. If people are good at placing traps or using good builds on Trapper, he definitely belongs in A tier in my opinion. Otherwise I'd put him in C tier because nobody really plays with them.

Oni: It's as if this killer doesn't even exist, yet it does exist in my heart, as every time I play with him, I get at least two kills which is already enough for me, since I don't really play killer all that much, but I do try to play survivor and killer equally. Basically a mix of Hillbilly and... and Hillbilly. Yeah..

B -

Nightmare: Been seeing a few Nightmares nowadays. Either people play him for challenges or they play him because he's actually good. I think he's fun to play as and against. I fixed the issue with my computer so it no longer lags when I play as or against Freddy. Great stuff, but he belongs in this tier because of the lack of people playing him, and also the overused teachable perks.

Legion: Did Legion go extinct? The past two weeks I've been against like... one to three Legions, and that's kind of it. I have 137 hours past two weeks, mind you. Either way, I think it's fun to play as, and fun to play against, unless the killer happens to be a Legion main Otzdarva clone.

EDIT: Hag: Forgot her. I'm going to include her in B tier because I don't see much of her, yet I think she's an averagely good killer to face and play as. Not too hard to get used to, but difficult to master.

C -

Huntress: Not a lot of Huntress mains out there. Really easy killer to juke and mess around with, difficult to play as however. I despise this character, but not enough to put her into D tier. Iridescent Head users should be ashamed of themselves. People either play Huntress because they actually main her, or because "haha funny iridescent head ebony mori NOED combo"

Demogorgon: Fun to play as and against, easy to juke and easy to learn. Not many play them, but they're definitely powerful.

Ghost Face: Danny Johnson decided to go hiking or something because I haven't seen Ghost Face in a while. Overall I think he's a bit difficult to play as, but rather easy to go against. I personally couldn't get a 4k with him yet, but others seem to manage well. Although I really do slam that pallet on a Ghost Face's... face, and it makes me feel bad for them.

D -

Nurse: Piss hard to play as and very easy to juke, unless the killer happens to be an entitled Nurse main. Seriously, she's only good for the perks, and that's kind of it. I pity the new players who pick Nurse. Legit she should be a purchaseable character, imo.

Clown: Who? Alright, I'm kidding. Difficult to play as, easy to go against if the person happens to be a new Clown player or someone who isn't particularly skilled at killer, obviously. People don't play Clown unless they're doing daily rituals or it's some rare hardcore Russian Clown main that camps and tunnels.

Pig: Every Pig that I go against just AFK's or doesn't really play that well. And even when they do, I'd say It's pretty okay to go against them. Pig was the first killer I really DC'd as, because let's be honest, I don't want to sit through a match where I get pallets slammed in my face every 10 seconds and people Sprint Burst away from me every single time.


Thank you for reading my opinion, lol. I just thought this would be a fun thing to share. Hope I didn't trigger anyone, it really is just my personal opinion that I wanted to share. It's okay if you don't care.

Have a nice day, wash your hands, see you in the fog!
