    Based on character and power design (not based on how good they are/how good I am with them). 
    1. Myers
    2. Spirit
    3. Bing Bong
    4. Trapper
    5. Nurse
    6. Clown
    7. Hag
    8. Hillbilly (Hes my main and it's so weird rating him so low)
    9. Pig
    10. Huntress
    11. Doctor
    12. Cannibal
    13. Freddy (Hate remake freddy and his power was poorly designed. Extra disappointed as he was my favorite horror icon growing up)

    Now if I listed based on how good they are/how their power actually works as a viable means or what not this would be way different... except 13. Sharp hand joe will always be at the bottom.

    Huntress and Myers.

    Sadly, Huntress is kinda done for until they fix the issues with the arms and shoulders... :'(

    And heads, and heads...

    Spirit is the most fun to play.... until survivors start to use their brain :wink:
    I like hag and huntress too, but unfortunately hutnress = RIP

    Freddy, even though he could be better. The matches are so fun with his mechanics, just easily bullied without addons.

    Myers is becoming my new favorite with MA

    Well, i haven´t even tried all killers yet, but my favorite is by far the hag, followed by hillbilly/wraith.

    It was love at first sight with the Doctor. He is by far my favorite to play. I love the way he laughs, and his little stun groans are funny. 

    Then I would say Hag. I’m a Symmetra main on Overwatch and her play style really appeals to me. 

    Then it is a tie between Myers and Trapper. I like the strategy of trapper, the classic horror of Michael.

    He sucks because he sucks. It's not the Survivors' fault that he's weak.

    I’m pretty sure he was nerfed because people complained about him being annoying though.

    The devs already admitted they ######### up when they pulled the trigger on that and have learned from it.

    As long as they have actually learned that killers shouldn’t be nerfed as soon as somebody gets annoyed then we’re making progress lol

    The devs pretty always do what the survivors want them to as they are the majority of the player base, it shouldn’t be that way, but it is, and it probably always will be.

    Well, my favourite design wise would be Leatherface.

    But gameplay would be Billy by a mile.

    Myers because he's been my icon ever since I watched Halloween when I was younger.
    Hag because her power fits me the best out of all killers, I can put on good map pressure with her traps and her hex perks.

    1. Doctor, though I haven't played him since the Calm Spirit buff
    2. Huntress, though I also haven't played her since the Calm Spirit buff (I took a break for about a month, so I haven't played most killers since the Calm Spirit buff)
    3. Hag - She is actually fun to play after her buffs. Without them, she'd be a solid 13.
    4. Nightmare - He's weak, yeah, but I actually find him fun to play.
    5. Shape - Interchangeable with 6.
    6. Pig - Interchangeable with 5. I like both of their playstyles around the same.
    7. Hillbilly - After the game stopped sending me to Lampkin Lane as him, and I learned to keep the chainsaw held down, he's actually really fun.
    8. Spirit - Only played one game, so this is bound to change, but I mostly like her backstory. Though I feel like her kimono should be her default skin.
    9. Cannibal - Since I don't camp, I don't exactly use him to his full skill.
    10. Nurse - Pain and suffering while playing, and I'm far from a good nurse.
    11. Wraith - Though this could change with his buffs, I just haven't tried him yet.
    12. Clown - Feels to shallow for me, and I have coulrophobia (not the perk, though I have that too). Seriously, his backstory is the only thing saving him for me.
    13. Trapper - They buffed him?
