Tierlist for Killers as of Patch 4.0.0

I agree with A and above. In my opinion, I would move Plague, Demo, and Deathslinger up to B; move Legion and Bubba up to C; move Pig down to D; and move Pyramid Head down to C. I don't know how to explain my changes other than my personal encounters with the killers and how easily I can survive and loop them.

Eh, the take on this tier list doesn't seem to be that different from most others in the past other than new killers or slightly differing opinions, i feel like alot of people's opinions aren't fully based on experience with the killer in question and put that killer in a spot based on the limited experience they have, plus some people either rank killers at base or at how powerful they can be

Though an "objectively" good tier list could possibly exist, but I'm not gonna say anything absolute about that

here is mine

What I hate about theses tier lists is that nobody ever explain what the tiers themselves mean. Especially when it come to the nebulous middle ground. Everybody seems to agree that Nurse, Spirit and Billy belong near the top while Clown and Cannibal are at the bottom, but everything in beetween seems to be detemined by throwing darts at the killers portraits.

I’ll go through what I disagree with, meanwhile the rest I agree with

1. Hillbilly should be switched with Freddy. Hillybilly just has so much mobility making a presence on all generators even if he isn’t in the area. He can also be a menace at loops with his curving and insta downs. While I agree Freddy is A tier he isn’t better then Billy.
2. Move Doctor down to mid B tier. While he does significant anti loop potential, there are a lot of loops where against a good survivor his therapy is nearly useless. Combine this with the fact that he doesn’t down people very quickly and he’s not A tier quality imo. He does however have a game slowdown and a finding tool built into his kit.
3. Move Huntress down to low B tier. This is probably always been my controversial opinion, but Huntress is honesty overrated. It’s because of the fact that survivors can do so much against her. There are many loops where a hatchets are useless and she becomes a basic 110 Killer. Survivors can just do so much to counter her. I do have to mention that her add ons are fantastic though.
4. Move Hag right above ONI. Hag can be an absolute monster. Her ability to snowball of hooks is probably the best in the game. Watch someone like Michi play Hag and you’ll see how disgusting she is. The biggest thing with Hag is the fact that most people don’t know how to play her. Your not supposed to commit to chases with Hag, instead you’re supposed to set up a web and have survivors come to you. The only thing holding Hag back is her vulnerability to flashlights.
5. Replace Wraith with Demo. While I believe some people do underrate Wraith a bit I thing you’re placing him to high meanwhile I believe you underage Demo. Demo for 1 has a great chase ability. His shred when use correctly is able to either gain a hit or force a pallet within a max of 10 seconds of being at loop. It just very strong when you use it zone, break pallets and force survivors to where you want them to. Meanwhile his portals when set up correctly allow him to traverse the map very quickly, which allows him to pressure survivors of gens consistently. The problem with Wraith is that he needs Windstorm to be a part of his basekit. Then the problem with including add ons on Wraith is that you then need to include them for other killers as well. Which makes this tier list very different. This means Infantry belt for Huntress, tombstone piece for Myers, rusty shackles for Hag, Topnot for ONI, black incense for Plague, etc.... I’m fine with including add ons of lower rarity when ranking a killer. However Wraith needs higher tier add ons to achieve viability which knocks him down below other killers.
6. Rest of tier list is mostly fine with only minor changes.

That's pretty much my list, too. But I'd put Ghostface at C tier because if his reveal mechanic wasn't so broken he wouldn't get half the kills he does.

So Clowns "huge" buff still lands him in the bottom..wow the guy have real problems. And Nurse still the best killer even with all her bugs? On console also the best? Perhaps but I'm not so sure, they need to fix her bugs.

I go back and forth on whether I think Huntress or Deathslinger is better but this is pretty much my list.

I agree with @Poweas, I think Hag and Oni are both stronger than Freddy.

If anybody thinks Plague is a weak killer then they have absolutely no idea how to play her. She is a solid killer in the right hands.

Everyone is gonna have different opinions though.

Where's Doc? XD

As someone who mains Doctor I would personally put Doc at B tier due to his lack of mobility. He really struggles on maps like Springwood, Ormund, and Disturb ward.

I'd put Demo lower down on the C tier list as in my opinion he's one of the weakest killers in the game.

Demo isn't very strong against good survivors, I'm quite a strong survivor myself I've never had much issues dealing with shred and him teleporting (due to the massive sound and animation give aways). In my opinion Demo needs a buff.

Her buff was just perfect. Love it

Her being based on potential is useless when no one can reach it. Let's put Huntress at S rank because based on her potential you can snipe people across maps with hatchets, surely being able to down someone across the map without them ever being in your tr is more OP than Nurse, right?

I base my tier lists on my practical experience, not theory. And while Nurse in theory is strong, in reality she is not.

Tier lists are usually based on the highest level of play. Trapper is not able to do this consistently vs survivors who understand him, call out his traps, disarm his traps, etc.

Hag is destroyed by flashlights and OoO, and weak to SWF, and when she traps a loop, you run to a new one and take distance. When Freddy traps a loop, he does not slow down in any way. This is why it's uncounterable. Hag's map pressure is based off setup and is dependent on the survivors. Freddy's is at-will and cannot be removed.

Mike's unique add-ons are useless gimmicks vs strong survivors. Strong survivors who understand how key it is to break LoS, how to do it, and how to exploit T1 slowness to the max, are gonna take 2 gens off you even with Corrupt just to get out of T1 and be an M1 killer. Then they'll take more for your first T3. They look around constantly & understand sightlines.

If you're lucky, you'll get your infinite T3 or your Tombstone or whatever by the time 5 gens are done.

Freddy's dream pallets are absolutely not strong. A SWF will tell the others which pallets are thrown, and occasional hits from fake pallets are straight-up inferior to blood pools making Freddy borderline unloopable and able to just strip the map of pallets rapidly, stack up injuries, etc. No top players are gonna tell you his fake pallets are strong.

My tier list

It’s because of the fact that many Demo’s don’t know how to effectively use his shred. It’s much more powerful as a zoning tool rather then a damage tool. The presence of shrewd is a greater threat then the actual shred. As long as you run the rat liver add on,(It’s a common and his best add on) his shred can be used to completely deny pallets and windows.

Lets say in a situation where the survivor is running for a fast vault towards shack window from the out side of shack. Demo simply by holding his shred denies the survivor of the vault. The survivor chooses to go away from the window, the Demo can simply let go of shred and get a free M1. If the survivor chooses to vault, it’s an easy shred hit. Most survivors in this case will fake the vault, however a good demo will be patient and wait till they see a confirmation of the vault. The speed of the shred lunge is fast enough to get a hit on the survivor in this scenario.

My entire point is that even against the best of survivors, in the hands of a patient Demo the shred can guarantee hits at tons of loops.
