Are you ready for another one? 😀

Who in your opinion would you class as the better killer of these two and why?

And which one of them in your opinion is most fun to play?

I will go for Oni as more fun to play, but Doctor as the better killer but it's very very close. Both are A tier for me. If you missed my earlier "vs" threads and want to comment search for them I have made:

Pig vs Demogorgon, Plague vs Wraith in January and yesterday Clown vs Bubba and Ghostface vs Hag.

    Doctor is less dependant on his opponents, but very depending on perks, addons and strats. Oni is pretty straight forward and absolutely needs a good early game to apply pressure through the entire game. I definetely enjoy him more, but against top survivors, I'd rather play Doc with a decent preparation & strat.

    Doctor was easier for me to play than Oni, I like both killers though.

    I think Oni is the stronger killer, but Doctor is stronger in terms of tracking survivors.

    Oni is better at snowballing, but Doc is better at regular gameplay.

    Doc:

    .Amazing tracking

    .Decent chase power

    .Great Early game

    . Getting survivors to madness 3 is easier now so he can slow the game down better

    .Good perk/build variety

    Oni:

    .Worst early game ever

    .wastes time getting his power

    .relies on infectious fright to snowball

    .Clunky demon strike too easy to dodge outside of Demon dash (I believe it's still bugged to where it doesn't even lunge sometimes)

    .Awful perk/build variety

    Guess which one is more reliable and fun?

    A conversation about my two mains? Okay.

    They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

    When it comes to tracking, no one does it better than Doctor. Oni has decent tracking in the early game, but it gets lost the more orbs are out there. Doctor also has better stall potential, able to get people off of gens with Madness and keep them off. However, he just doesn't have anything to help him in a chase. He can get easy hits at pallets and windows IF he gets the shock in before the pallet is dropped or the window is vaulted. Another thing is that, without his blast, he doesn't exactly have much map pressure.

    Oni's early game is pretty bad. His tracking isn't as good as Doctor's, and he also doesn't have much to help in a chase. He excels in two areas that I feel Doctor lacks: mobility and map pressure. Most people say that Oni is a worse Hillbilly, but I actually find him stronger (maybe I'm just a bad Hillbilly, because that is entirely possible). He doesn't feel as clunky, doesn't stop when hitting obstacles, can simply charge a lunge rather than a full sprint, and, although rare, can hit multiple people with one hit. As the game goes on, you should be getting Demon form more and more, because there will be more orbs for you to absorb, which gives you much more map pressure due to being a constant threat with an instadown attack.

    Overall though, I do feel that Doctor is the stronger of the two. While he does lack mobility and map pressure, he makes up for it in tracking and gen pressure, which are probably more important.
