Tier List After 1K Hours of Solo Queue
Notes:
- It should be stated that any killer can 4k and can be played up to rank 1.
- Billy/Spirit: This has been endlessly debated, and it really comes down to preference. Billy has map pressure and mobility. Spirit trades map pressure for the ability to ignore loops. Whoever you choose, these two are clearly in a league of their own.
- Hag: Territorial snowballing machine. Only held back by SWF with flashlights.
- Freddy: Map pressure/mobility, can deal with loops, stalling, some tracking, Borrowed Time counter, the list goes on and on. Add-ons really put him over the top.
- Huntress: Map dependent, but her ranged attack sets her above the rest.
- Myers: His add-ons are just super powerful. Infinite Tier 3 and the ability to kill survivors are both very strong.
- Ghostface: Can drop terror radius and red stain at will, plus insta-down ability. Too bad survivors can cancel his power.
- Demogorgon: The leap attack has great potential and can counter some normally powerful loops, like the Killer Shack. The portals are lackluster, but the ability to travel from one end of the map to the other does have value.
- Plague: Survivors choose to stay broken or give her a massive power spike. She's only held back by survivors having control over her power spike.
- Pig: I'm tempted to rate her higher, but it simply comes down to the RNG of the traps. It either makes or breaks her.
- Doctor: Yes, his base kit is laughable, but add-ons give him some power. 3 gen Doc is still alive and well. He can prevent gens from being repaired, so he can stall the game as long as he wants to in some situations.
- Legion: Their ease of landing the first hit, plus their tracking potential should not be underrated. The drawbacks of using Frenzy can sometimes outweigh the pros, rendering them a standard M1 killer.
- Trapper: Clunky power that has clear counter-play. Can even be lackluster with double ultra rare add-ons. His saving grace is survivor mistakes and the paranoia his traps instill.
- Leatherface: Bubba has insane ability to punish survivor mistakes. He is possibly the most dangerous killer to encounter in a dead zone. That being said, good survivors will not be found without a vault or pallet nearby, limiting his power.
- Wraith: Some add-on combos enable him to get the first hit easily and give him mobility and ability to body-block loops. That being said, his camouflage is lackluster and he makes a lot of noise and gives forewarning unless using his ultra rare.
- Clown: No map pressure, mobility, general tracking, etc. His only ability is a slow which is limited to charges and slows himself on use. His ultra rare gives him a good amount of power, but it can only be used up close and can be missed.
If you've read this far, thanks! Everyone has a different experience and opinion. Let me know what you think of my list! (This is based on PC).

I mostly agree. The only thing I would change is putting Legion lower, Clown 1 up, and Wraith up.

Mine i just the opposite
Also according to official stat, nurse is the weakest at all rank, ^_^

please don't use trapper with both pink addons... they are not even his best addons.

Why not? Better than making a new thread for an already existing one.

Why not? I totally get the argument they're not his best but together they're not that bad, they reset themselves and injure survivors who disarm them. They become passively way more dangerous.

You forgot 1 killer: NOED, is A+. It kills more people than half of the killers

Naw.
That's the first time someone's ever called me cute!
And Nurse would be the lowest statistically because by the time you are very proficient in Nurse, DbD is no longer a game. It is a lifestyle or basically you put in as much hours into it as you would an actual job.

In other words, she is very ######### difficult to play, so most people that play Nurse play her for the first many times and big time suck on her. Spoken from experience

You have no negatives for Freddy but you still put him behind everyone else? You crazy.

I always feel like people rate Myers so highly because he's so easy to play as. I personally never have any trouble Vs a Myers, unless there's a while heap of LoS blockers.
Also, if you are considering add-ons, Doc should be all the way up there with Freddy. His add-ons make him an absolutely unloopable, game-slowing beast. I don't know if you've ever gone agaisnt a good Doc, but it's really not engaging. Your only hope is to rush the generators as quick as possible and hope everyone else gets the memo. Even without add-ons he had some insanely short chases thanks to his antiloop. He's so damned good.
Edit: never mind, I'm an idiot. Didn't realise this post was ressurrected.
