Tier List of Steepest Learning Curve...
For Intermediate killers based on my opinion for PC:
Keep in mind, this doesn't take into account on how good or bad the killer is. I know most of the communities distaste for say Legion and Clown. This is more based on how quickly can you pick up this killer and play them effectively. Still, let me know what you think.
D is the easiest curve to learn with S being the hardest.

I can at least get 1-3k sometimes with even my worst killers but nurse is impossible for me right now. I get completely wrecked every time I try

Nurse's difficulty according to the Killer's list is hard. This only accounts for "Intermediate" level Killers.

I find Intermediate level killers to be much harder to play than Hard level Killers. Doctor, Freddy, and Spirit are considered "Hard" killers yet they are relatively the easiest to master, especially Freddy. Nurse is the only exception to the rule and she requires a lot of time and effort put into her to be effective. But then you play someone like Pig, who's ambush is honestly mediocre and only good for mind games against average Survivors. Her reverse traps make up for it but ONLY if you use them correctly and have the right add-ons. Huntress requires actual aim and practice to make shots that aren't 10m in front of you.

Nurse, Billy, Huntress, and Deathslinger are the hardest killers to play.
Oni is challenging too because his demon strike requires some mechanical skill to land against survivors that 360.

Wraith and Hag are both very easy to learn/use. You give them too much credit. THe wraith is the most basic killer in the game. There is nothing really to learn there. It is more about knowing how to play the game. Hag is pretty simple to understand. She gets complicated only with rare addons. Demo I find it hard to play, There is alot to learn about his "traps", how to position them and when to use them

So Hag is an average killer which is why she's at the medium. If she was simple, a lot more people would be playing her than they are now. Demo doesn't have traps either and is more so used for his shred and teleportation. Wraith is seen as complicated because without add-ons, he's a very hard killer to use. Especially when in chases when he turns into an M1 killer.

you have got to be kidding me with this list....

Are you saying that Pig and Huntress aren't the hardest intermediate killers to master?

Legion is easy to be annoying with... but hard to actually 4k with. Because they're one of the only Killers that can't down with their power

Deathslinger and Pig are my only problem with this, maybe Hag too. Deathslinger is definitely harder to learn then pig in terms of power. With deathslinger you have to know how to aim because if you can’t then he’s a 110% M1 killer and that’s a big oof. At least with pig if you need to M1 you’re 115% so it’s easier to chase.

Pig is fairly simple to pick up. Deathslinger...easy, yeah no, hitting a precise shot is not easy.

Deathslinger is definitely an S. Anything that requires precise aiming and not just M1ing should be S or A minimum.
Similar argument for the Clown. You can't just throw bottles willy nilly and win. You have to predict the survivor's movement and lead your shots.
Pig... M1 them until they go down, trap their head, hook, then move on to the next. At best middle tier.
Demo should be A because utilizing your portals isn't a pick up and win, and you have to learn the range of shred and how to mindgame with it.
Plague i think should be middle or even D tier. You walk up to people and puke on them. If they don't cleanse, you get insta downs all game. If they cleanse, well they are in for a bad time. She's pretty straight forward.
Hag should be A or B tier. You have to know crucial choke points to trap to end chases. Then also knowing your usable range of the teleport is crucial. Think of a Trapper placing all of his traps on one side of the map and just roaming across the map, pointless.
Wraith makes sense IF the curve is revolving around mindgaming his stealth, but as far as the power itself, no curve.
Legion could be D or even C. Know when to activate it deactivate your power at the beginning or mid chase will be the difference between good or bad. There is a level of skill there.
Huntress makes sense.

There is no such logic where easier killer would be used more. People esp killers play what they like. Last time devs shared stats it was the Trapper the most used killer who is one of the hardest to play/learn killers. It is everyone else like me who are forced one way or another/points farm, rituals/ to play the killer where we use what we find easy to play or win. And guess which killers I use ... Wraith, Spirit, Hag from time time. Wraith because it requires no skill. What you are saying is not that the killer is hard to play but the fact he has nothing really special to use to deal easly with survivors which makes it hard for him to WIN. But that does not make Wraith hard to PLAY killer, it just makes him a weak killer. These are 2 completely different things. Demo had these portal that I just called traps in " " so you can understand me. They are a big deal of his kit. If you don't use them then you don't really play the Demo effectively same as me, so that just confirm he is hard to user killer. As a hag all you have to do is understand the range of her traps and how, where to place them. I rarely find survivors who understand how to deal with hag traps usually swf.

Completely agreed with one small correction - they're not the hardest, but with the highest skill cap.
For example, both huntress and billy are really easy killers for beginners to get into the game.
If you just picked up the game you can still do pretty well with billy even if you only use his chainsaw to zoom around the map and backrev people. Where the high skill cap really comes into play is when you start using your chainsaw to mindgame survivors and curve around tiles, which requires a huge amount of practice. Same goes for huntress - as a beginner it's really easy to hit hatchets when survivors just run in a straight line and let you maintain line of sight. The things that make huntress really shine is her ability to throw over loops, through holes in tiles, get cross map hits and so on, which requires very good precision and map knowledge.

Pig and Wraith in S and A tier for difficulty? I mean I guess it's your opinion but... what? Wraith is by far the easiest killer to pick up and play and it's the one killer I'd recommend every new player to pick up first. Once you know what he does there's really nothing else to him so I don't see the learning curve being high on him (windstorm lunge is the only thing that might take you some time to perfect but that's it).
And I really don't see the high learning curve with Pig. She's incredibly simple and easy to understand, much easier than Demo and Plague...
I'd swap Slinger and Wraith around
Demo should be in A imo.
I'd put pig in B or C tier
I agree with the rest.
