There are 20 Killers in the game

This. Too many people confuse 'takes practice', with 'not strong'.

I sucked big time when i first started playing with hag, because i did the usual strategy of just trapping the hell out of hooks, gens and pallets. Time after time i got my butt kicked. So i pumped more time into practicing, used my knowledge as a survivor to predict where people would run to and learned how to fake out at loops to end the merry go round. I varied my perk selections and FINALLY i was getting 3-4 k's most games, and the teams i did loose to were pretty good and deserved their wins.

At the end of the day if people just want to jump on an easier to use killer, that's perfectly fine, some people don't have the time or patience to deal with all the losses that come with learning a slightly more difficult killer. Nothing wrong with it. But as stated here already, ANY killer has the potential to be a powerhouse if enough effort is applied.

And yes, i've died at the hands of plenty of decent clown players who have utterly wiped the floor with my teams corpses.

It sucks to drag out a more nuanced killer into public matches knowing you might well suck to begin with, and yeah toxic tits don't make it any easier. But the more you play, the more you learn and it's just oh so much more satisfying when you wreck a team with something uncommon.

I don’t think that every Killer should be strong. That’s where skill comes into play. I’ve seen a crap ton of amazing Clowns and it’s so unique which makes it great because he has low mobility.

That's a fair summary.

I usually play Freddy, spirit, infinite tier 3 Myers when I want to win.

I play the other killers to mix it up but it's a success rate of 50/50 mostly depends on the survivor group. A good survivor group can still demolish Freddy and spirit though but that's rare.

The other killers just don't have any way to cover enough ground quickly enough to end a chase and move to the next survivor(s) before they complete one or more generators.

I'm oddly successful with clown but not against coordinated groups who just steam roll generators.

I'd say the killers who have can cover ground fast enough are Freddy, demogorgon, maybe wraith with add-ons, nurse but she sucks on console, hag with traps so long as people run on them and don't flashlight them, and that's about it. Of those killers only Freddy can't have his map covering potential controlled by survivors.

It sucks knowing you did well and ended chases quickly but since you can't move or cover ground fast enough you essentially might as well try to be in 3 other places at once.

I like demogorgons teleport as far as being balanced and fair and think all the killers should have something in their base kit that lets them cover longer distances more quickly and I think they can and still have it be fair, like putting limits in it in different ways.

That's my opinion

I could honestly imagine this being an original idea of the devs. They simply didn't expect this game to be taken so competitively by their player base.

Strong does not equal not skillful. Take Nurse for example. Even after her nerf she still breaks the game but the amount of skill and practice necessary to be a good Nurse is insane.

I'm not denying that weaker killers can win. The difference between the stronger and weaker killers is that the weaker killers rely a lot more on the mistakes from survivors while stronger killers not so much. Combine this with the survivor meta of 2nd chances, the fact that an awful lot of the maps are still pretty unfair towards killers such as Ormond and a survivor team that actually has brains, the weaker killers can't compete.

I mean as a killer player that plays almost all killers (Nurse being the exception) its not that hard to learn to play most killers. Most of them have similar stats (115% ms, 32m TR, 2 hits they go down) and their oposition (survivors) play the exact same way except for personal playstyle and perks. So learning their powers actually doesnt take that much out of you compared to how difficult it would be in a lot of games.

I agree some thing should be done about gens, but thats what im hoping the "trial start" that the devs hinted at will do. Because thats the only issue I really have. Its when survivors "magically" spawn all over the map and 3 gens fly around the same time I get my first down.

But honestly it just sounds like you want easier games as killer because you cant be bothered. Tough. Its a 1v4 game. You have fewer people to fall back on and rely on that they do. Your mistakes mean more than their mistakes do thats just part of the nature of the game. If the 4 people could only make as many mistakes as you did, combined. Then this game would be dead.

I recall raiding in MMO's, and there was nothing as frustrating as knowing you did everything perfectly but one Tank or Healer decided that the fire was the place to be, dying and losing us the encounter. Ofc it is annoying that if you make big mistakes it can lose you the game, but if 1 survivor makes a big mistake at most it could lose him his life and the 3 others are still free to not ######### up as big and possibly escape.

But that is the essential nature of 1v4, thats what makes it interesting. At least to me.

As for killers, why should you play Deathslinger over Freddy/spirit? Or any other killer in general. Because they are fun? I like playing Clown, piggy, Deathslinger, Myers and basically everyone once in a while. Variation and playing a lot of different killers and learning to play them better and better makes this game fun for me. But fun is subjective, so if you only want to have "easy wins" and not spend that much time learning the power I guess just play Freddy. If you want "easy wins" but wanna spend some time to learn a power, Spirit, Oni, Hillbilly and Hag would probably be a good bet. And if you want "easy wins" but really have to work to learn the power. Nurse. Anyone else its gonna require you to work a bit more to play. But those are probably the strongest killers.

Thats at least my opinion, people can disagree and thats fine, I just find winning on them a bit easier than others. But I usually find playing something like Pig or Trapper, Huntress or something not those 6 a bit more fun in some cases. Because to me, if I happen to find 4 solo survivors that aren't insane at the game but still know what they are doing then I will still get a good game out of it.

But as I said. Fun is subjective, this is just my way..... and my Ted Talk..

There are no weak killers. Just players who aren't very good with them. I'm pretty sure there are streamers out there who have proven this in red ranks with so called "weak killers".

If you're not doing well with a killer, that says something about your skill level, not the killer themselves

Well, focusing on winning, in a non competitive, non ranked (no rewards, reset monthly, rank is fake mmr) game, is your first issue.

The second one is that basically every killer can be used to win. You just have to be good at ths game, understand basically every perk option, and have a decent grasp on tile layout/mindgames.

You cant M1 your way to a 4k with everyone.
