Who's getting reworked next?

By this I use the example of the chainsaw bros. Which good killer like Billy will get a nerf and be less viable. And which bad killer like leatherface will get a buff and be more viable. Who do you speculate is up next? For better or worse.

    I feel like Freddy will get nerfed next, even though he is fine. But with BHVR you know never know, I just have that gut feeling.


    Either clown, pig, Myers will get buff. They just struggle sometimes at the high level of play.

    Will they be big reworks say a doctor or freddy. Or minor changes like wraith or clown.

    The Killers that are propably the most in need of serious buffs would be Trapper, Clown, Myers and Pig. Since the MacMillan Estate Realm is about to go live with its graphics overhaul, I have just a little bit of hope Trapper will get buffed. At the same time, the Holiday is right around the corner, and what better time to update Myers to modern standards than Halloween?

    If neither of them gets buffed hard within the month I´ll be honest I´m gonna be severely disappointed.

    The next Killer to recieve "slight addon changes" like Nurse or Billy? Who knows. Maybe a CD before Huntress can reload, it seems she can spam her power too much and nobody complains about her except for Iri heads. /s

    The nerf to Freddy probably small ones to his snare or something.

    For Myers, Pig, and clown, probably significant changes, maybe, just maybe.

    Huntress, Clown, and Pig have all been mentioned by devs about getting reworks. Huntress and Pig probably just their add-ons, and Clown probably getting a new mechanic since bottles alone are kinda weak.

    Devs said in a recent Livestream that no big Reworks are planned for the near future. I guess Clown will probably get some Love.

    No more big rework this year

    Trapper needs a huge rework and buff. He's the front page of Dead by Daylight, and really should be a lot more powerful.

    Clown is currently being worked on. Myers and Pig are apparently also on the list for some changes.

    Hopefully Huntress and Slinger. Huntress just needs a good once-over on her add-ons and maybe some thinner hatchets. Slinger needs a rework to his aiming mechanic to make it the viable primary over quickscoping, because right now he's a short-range killer with a sniper zoom thanks to his chain break speed.

    He does not need a huge rework. He either needs to be able to start with and carry 3 traps as part of his base-kit or they make Bloody Coil base-kit and have Survivors actually make a difficult choice on whether or not they want to disarm his traps.

    He is powerful enough if the person playing him is smart. He is so powerful he makes grass terrifying.

    If i'm not wrong in one of their latest streams they said they're going to rework clown

    Pig will continue to get unasked for and unnecessary background nerfs for this game's entire lifespan.

    They mentioned that Clown was next.

    Piggy is desperate for a buff. 2 dozen addons plus perks to somehow get her reverse traps working but nothing helps. Trying to kill anyone with traps on purpose and you are just meming. Even the ultra rares don't help, they get out of it almost 100% of the time. The counter starts when the next gen is done. So it's up to the survivors weither or not they want to start the counter? While it is actually your job to not let them do gens and prevent the counter from starting? Brilliant. Just brilliant. Whoever thought of this should be employee of the year. But don't forget to draw him a pigface.

    The sad thing is she is quite complex and fun to play, but half of her Ability is just a meme.

    Myers definitely needs a buff to either his movement speed or the rate he gathers Evil Within. I would also be fine with allowing survivors to be stalked more before running out. Because once that happens Myers becomes useless.

    Personally I would vote for Wraith. He is by far the weakest Killer as he desperately needs a speed buff while cloaked. They should just make one of his speed add-ons base kit.

    The devs specifically said they were actively working on Clown in a recent Q&A so he’s probably next. I think they said it would be along the lines of a Billy/Bubba level of change as opposed to a massive rework.

    Expecting huntress to get a cooldown, and Myers to get a full rework next year.

    Either Freddy or Huntress! Huntress needs to be nerfed in several ways. She has never been looked at since her release and survivors have faced numerous nerfs. Her hatchet hitbox is the most unfair thing I've ever seen playing games.
