What killer(s) need some QoL improvements next

The chainsaw bros are getting their changes within the coming weeks, so now to look at what killers need looking into next.

For starters, I would say Clown & Legion need it the most. Clown has a weak power, & it's super janky & inconsistent. Legion has a power that has little use besides injuring multiple people in a short duration of time, if you can even injure more than 1 person. Pig could also uses some love as she is super RNG-based & has god awful add-ons. If you want to tackle another duo of two similar killers, I would say Ghost Face & Myers could use some love. They are not bad killers by any means, but they do have some pretty useless add-ons. The stalk mechanic is a bit finicky & feels a bit outdated for Myers. Ghost Face's reveal mechanic has its fair share of issues & could use some improvements. I would definitely focus more heavily on Myers, as I feel he is significantly weaker than Ghost Face. Ghost Face I would say is pretty balanced, just needs some minor changes to certain aspects of his power. Wraith could use some number tweaks personally. Plague could use a lot of love in that she is a terrible killer to pip with & honestly some of her add-ons should be base kit. Demogorgon has a crap add-on setup. Nurse is a walking (technically floating) cooldown.

They could even look into toning down some killers that are controversial in the community. I would say that is pretty much just Freddy & Spirit.

Who do you guys think needs the next buff/nerf?

    Trapper needs love. Just basic things like allowing him to carry more traps without an add on. Not having the traps on the map spread out to the far corners, bring them in a bit. Have survivors do skill checks similar to doctors snap out of it to free themselves from a trap.

    I actually like that skill check idea for his traps. Takes away the RNG of his traps & you can have add-ons that make breaking free take longer. But yeah I forgot to list Trapper when making this post. As the face of DBD he needs some love.

    There was another post where skill checks for the traps was brought up and I love the idea. It was nice they made it so his traps can't be sabotaged and he can reset them but he needs more love than that.

    Myers. He's getting very dated and with the state of the game and how important the start of the trial is being crippled at the start sucks for any killer. Also, any decent survivors that know how to starve him of stalk turn him into a basic m1 killer that has a smaller terror radius.

    Huntress is next. She only has one irredescent add-on.

    Then Pig was supposed to get an add-on rework.

    I'd say Huntress, only one Iri add-on, some questionable hit boxes, and some add-ons that are completely useless or barely affect her numbers like the ones that make her wind up "faster" or relaod at lockers "quicker."

    Legion also needs an add-on adjustment.

    Trapper could use a minor adjustment to his basekit by making the brown bag add-on part of his kit.

    Hard to say what would help Clown but he could be looked at. The recent change helped a lot but he's still too add-on/perk dependent to me.

    Pig could use a look over for her useless add-ons and maybe help the RNG aspect, that would hopefully change pig players from just being rbt tunneling scum.

    Nurse needs some help. Either fix her blinks because there's lots of clipping issues there or bump up her speed a little bit to make her actually viable in chases and not 100% power reliant since no other killers are 100% reliant on their power.
