Killer Tier List
My personal list based on experiences at rank 1 on both sides for both PC and console. Be sure to tell me how wrong my opinion is since it's not the same as yours. I await both normal comments and the usual forum salt.
- Doctor - 3 gen strat makes people quit before the game is over. There's no avoiding this killer.
- Clown - Sheer ability to slow down a survivor and you will never convince me that his speed is only 115%.
- Leatherface - Only killer able to still face camp and you will never convince me that his speed is only 115% either.
- Hillbilly - Best map pressure and high risk, high reward. Plus an instadown.
- Nurse - Good map pressure and very high risk for a high reward. Gets neutered by merely hiding. Plus, much steeper learning curve on console than PC.
- Spirit - Good map pressure and EXTREMELY high risk for a high reward. Perfect for mindgaming ONLY at high ranks since low ranks just run in straight lines.
- Hag - Good map pressure and great forced mind game potential. But one flashlight ruins your existence.
- Wraith - Decent map pressure and lots of useful builds can be used on him. But he plays the loop game harder than anyone else.
- Myers - Sheer gimmicks alone are enough for him as survivors will not be prepared for which one you have planned. But without a gimmick, you're one of the weakest.
- Trapper - A bit too much is left to chance. But most addons can save you. Would be higher if extra traps could be carried without the use of an addon slot.
- Pig - Great for tunneling and getting DCs at high ranks. Not great at much else. Catching people is almost dependent on latency.
- Freddy(I know, shocker) - PERFECT for tunneling and getting DCs at high ranks. Impossible to get the jump on anyone. Removing the ability to wake up from self care alone would be a MAJOR buff to him.
- Huntress - The sheer inconsistency of her hatchets is too much to deal with. They either hit invisible walls or go right through solid ones. There's no way to tell which. All it takes to beat her is to bait her to wind up a hatchet at a pallet and then keep running, forcing her to become an M1 killer. Also, much harder on console than PC.

This is a very delusional list right there, Doc isn't even viable let alone top tier lol Huntress last? I am done I just can't. Go watch some TydeTyme or Tru3Ta1ent videos get educated so you actually know what you're talking about coz this is laughable.

So, Leatherface is top tier....
Are we playing the same Leatherface?

Nurse at 5th place and Huntress at LAST place? What is this tarnation2
-
Wraith above Myers and Huntress? Doctor at the top? Huntress at the bottom?
Bogus list.1 -
A flashlight only ruins a bad Hag player. A good one will focus on placing traps in positions that'll help end a chase very quickly. Hag should be at least in the top 3 because someone who knows how to use her can prove she's very strong. Nurse should definitely be number 1 and Hillbilly should be number 2 or 3. Oh and Huntress is definitely not the worst killer.1

When you look at where Papa Freddy is on the list and come to realise he is perceived to be trash

She is harder to play on consoke, but to say she isn't top teir when you've already mastered her? I could put them against a rank 1 nurse player right now that pkays both pc an ps4, he'd probably 4k before 2 gens are done. Nurse is definiteky harder on console, but she is NOT impossible. Neither is huntress, and I suck with her. I can still secure victory at rank 1 with her.0 -
Are we playing the same game? LOL
Real talk though, there's like, several things I dunno about. I know this is a subjective list, but still.Doctor is most definitely not top tier, much less deserving to be #1 in any list. He's a god tier tracker, but what else does this guy really have? Game slowdown? Eh, kinda. Chase potential? Somewhat. Map presence? Eh. He's good at tracking, but the meta of the game consists of chases and being able to end them quickly, as well as slowing the game down and having map presence. Doctor excels at none of these. He's high mid tier at best.
Clown is generally in the right spot. He's #4 in my personal list.
Billy needs to be higher. Chase potential, map presence, insta-down chainsaw. Billy has it all.
Nurse needs to be higher because Nurse.
Spirit is inconsistent and weird. Needs to be lower.
Wraith is most definitely not better than Myers.
Pig is not bottom tier.
Huntress is not ######### tier. You have to LEARN to throw her hatchets. She can completely ignore loops in certain situations.1
