    Going super fast across the map wielding a 1-hit ability can make him quite the threat.

    9 - Holy Crap!

    He's one of the only killers that I'm pretty scared to play against. In the right hands he can be horrifying.

    6 - It's Mkay

    Pros:

    • Instant down ability
    • Super speed.

    Cons:

    • Max controls like absolute garbage. And if you say to steer using Q and E like I've seen so many times in the past, I'd heavily consider that cheating.
    • Unless you're in a very open area of the map, Max's speed is irrelevant with how many obstacles there are.
    • The Chainsaw is pretty dodgeable if the Survivor is competent. And no, standing right behind them revving the saw so they literally can't react fast enough doesn't make you good, it makes you human garbage.
    • Indoor maps are so closed off, half of Max's positives are ripped away from him.

    Look, I can see why people place Max so high on tier lists, but I just can't. Maybe it's just my own skill as him seeping into my objective view of him, but I just can't give him any higher than a 6. And that's only due to the insta-down, literally the only thing he really has.

    As someone who mains Hillbilly, he's definitely one of the strongest in the game. I'd say without his current bugs (most notably the long stun) he's a 9.

    He is definetly strong, especially on these diehard Legacy 3 skillbillys, how i think Oni Spirit and even Nurse (i know controversail) are still stronger than him in total, Oni mainly because unless you suck you will get the down, other than billy where he can be outplayed more easily
