More Skilled Killers BHVR

Yes, I want more killers like the Nurse, Spirit, and Huntress. Now before you say that I want easier games because I'm asking for killers that require skill to play: You survivor mains should want this for multiple reasons.
1.) When you are downed, hooked, and sacrificed. At least you can know that the killer deserved their sacrifice and you won't get upset because they needed to do more than just hitting M1/RT.
2.) The scare factor is really a thing now in Dead by Daylight. Whenever you hear a Nurse, you can bet that you're gonna be hiding as a survivor because that's when you, as a survivor, aren't the power role anymore.
3.) Competitive and casual friendly since if you want to play a easier killer then go for it but if you're a competitive DBD player, you'll now have more variety other than Nurse, Spirit, and Huntress.

    How do you define a killer that requires Skill to play? Clown is a ranged killer and learning his throws and prediction survivor movements makes him actually harder to master. It also takes time to learn how to play the Hillbilly in close combat. And don't let us started witht he Hag, playing her efficiently requires a different thought process than other killers.

    Besides that I'm not scared, when I hear a Nurse scream, when I play Survivor. I can handle a Nurse in a chase, except she uses range AddOns which make her appear very buggy. But even then I'm more annoyed than anything.

    Devs are more concerned about popping out cosmetics for people we already have so they can get money

    About that...While they have time to make cosmetics, those are fundamentally way easier to make than new killers.

    Killers need a different mechanic for their playstyle to be unique and fun. Otherwise, BHVR will get yelled at like Bubba and Hillbilly.

    They also need to make sure it does not break anything more than is already broken.

    Jokes on you, when I hear nurse I run straight to the shack to see whether or not she can blink, I don't fear any killer in this game.

    It depends on if your skill is rewarded as a killer. If you're limited by the killer then I would consider that killer to not be a skilled killer since YOUR skill is not rewarded enough. Yes, Hag is another one I forgot but I wouldn't consider Billy or Clown since they are limited by pallets. Your skill doesn't matter if the survivor knows how to use them correctly and no, I don't want easy games. I feel like a killer skill should, most of the times, overwhelm the survivor's skill even if the survivor is slightly more skilled since they are supposed to be weaker than the killer.

    Meh, I've personally never been a huge fan of "high skill" characters in multiplayer games. My enjoyment in multiplayer games comes from when I pound opposing players into the ground, I couldn't care less if I did so with a character that is considered easy or hard, as long as I felt I played well. Having to have your ass inevitably handed to you for several games as you attempt to grasp the mere fundamentals of playing a character isn't an experience I much care for.

    Yea we need more powerful killers but the more killers that get more powerful the less that not so strong killers wont get buffed because there is already strong killers. Trapper still needs a buff.

    Yet it’s the experience you want others to have...

    I mean Clown was A tier and required a high skill cap. Spirit is now buffed to A tier and requires very high skill.

    The last 2 killers have been viable at R1.
