Trying to figure out a main

Myers is considered as the king of jumpscares, but if you want a really powerful killer as well, I may suggest you Hag. With Monitor & Abuse, she is a mix between Nurse and Myers. Although she's harder to master than Nurse, it's not a matter of muscle memory if you struggle with that. But beware, you have to be really tactical with her.

@NeoGriim another neat thing about Pig is that her terror radius is only 28 meters, not the standard 32 like most other Killers. I think Hag's terror radius is 24, but she is very slow and therefore fails at chases. She relies on pure luck that the survivors will run into your traps, or not find flash lights in a chest.

Go with Pig. I am a Pig main and can say it is pretty fun once you master her. The skill cap is much higher than you would think. One tip, though - don't crouch around the map. Only do that in low ranks. It is way too slow, and with the "get gens, get out" mentality of the very high ranks you simply cannot afford to be that slow.
Also, do NOT go with Hag. I do not know why Soren suggested that, they seem like a pretty nice person from their other posts. The only reason to level Hag is to get Hex: Ruin.
The suggestion of Myers is good though. His skill cap is probably the lowest of all Killers, but is good if you have decent add-ons for him.

Well they wanted an ambush killer that also destroys at high ranks fairly well... Otherwise I would suggest Myers / Pig because they can pull great moves yet still be rather easy to have a first grasp (although I agree that skillcap to master Pig is quite high), but you can't have everything you know... Usually I never suggest Hag to start with, lol, she is very very long to learn.

I like the tactics behind the hag. I'd like the trapper himself if he didn't have to gather his traps, I know she's low tier but having an ambush during a chase is a pretty cool concept.

She's high tier though, but you'll struggle for several months before getting good with her, like Runiver said. I just suggested her because she's the only high tier killer that is also an ambush one, and you seemed to care a lot about ranking up.

+1 this.
Hag is very top tier once you know how to play her properly.
Especially after the possible vacuum removal coming in a few days.

Why pick a main? Play all the killers, you can get as good with any killer as just about any other killer main in this game. There's no need to dedicate too much time to one single killer as most are mechanically the same anyway, and aside from a few specific power related techniques, it still all comes down to how well you can chase. 

Play them all and find out for yourself who plays to your specific desires. I wouldn't bother asking because they may deter you from a killer you like. Of you like Freddy or wraith, play them, you may find a way to play perks on them with certain add ons that works well. And if you don't find a man, at least you got to see all the game has to offer.

Picking a main is quite useful is you started the game to be able to efficiently farm BP without having to spread your bps around all killers.
It's also pretty good to know you have a character that you can play well and perform decently with, and get decent BP with even when you have pretty bad rounds since you're used to his mecanics.

I play all killers except for Freddy, LF and Nurse, but I know that, when I feel annoyed, I just pick Billy and have some great times without stressing it out too much since he's my main since day 1 and I can always rely on this dude to provide me a decent match.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I think that the hag will be my next unlock, it was going to be the doctor but hearing if she's played correctly the hag is high teir has me thinking that maybe she's the better choice, especially as this week's shrine got me the perk I wanted from the doctor (overcharge).

Playing a couple more games with the nurse I'm finding that I do fantastic in every category except for sacrificing. I guess I'm so bad with her that people love to taunt me, I'll have entire teams up close to me trolling the living daylight out of me while their team mate hangs on the hook dying and I desperately try to keep it that way, leaving me with 1 kill each round but 24k BP in the other three categories because I keep getting hits, losing them, chases auto pop because they come to me and generally they'll even tease me around a generator until I can down one of them. It's frustrating, but everyone's pretty happy at the end of the game, even me considering I generally come out with 30k blood points plus whatever bonus I have on and not even coming close to pipping.

Doc is strong as well, just not an "ambush" killer as you asked.
If you ever need advices to Hag, feel free to come by ^^

Don't worry about Nurse, she is designed to be hard to play! Don't forget that you're not forced to play a specific killer, just stick with the one most intuitive for you ^^

Hello everyone!

I had a massive post explaining my play style and the pros and cons to my choices but honestly it can really be narrowed down to a very short, very simple post.

I played Leatherface to 35 to learn the game and get BBQ and Chili but I don't like his play style, I'd rather ambush people.

So I went with Wraith, who works well at lower ranks, but I don't plan on staying at a lower rank and with him having no chase skill and nothing extra, his "ambush" isn't really even an ambush, you appear but it takes you an entire 3-4 seconds to jump in. So my choices are basically as follows.

The nurse - Difficult as heck, can't get a grasp on her blink and I feel like it's going to take a long time of me having crap games to really get a hang of her.

The Pig - Easier, but less utility, still has a good ambush and hides her terror radius which is what I'm looking for, big downside is that she doesn't have much for a chase unless they're trying to loop you.

I enjoy playing the pig. So basically my question is below (coincidentally it's the tl;dr section too)

TL;DR: Should I for the Nurse who I suck with currently but know that with enough training and such she's pretty much a top tier killer with a sky high skill cap, or should I play the pig who's a mid tier killer but easier to play.
