Many Underrated Killers
I feel people underestimate a lot of the killers in this game. I play a lot of those killers people say are the weakest in the game and I do very well. Characters like Michael, Clown, Pig, Ghost Face, Twins, ect. These killers can be good. After hours of experience with all these and more I don't think they are weak. And its not just when you play them in 1 way either. They can be strong in many different play styles. I mostly play these "weaker" killers. The only killer that is considered truly good that I play is PH, Freddy, and Demo. I think most killers are good, just slightly weaker. I don't think someone like Michael is infinitely weak than Demo, I think they are both very good. You just have to play them differently. Michael is worse than someone like Demo sure, but many people make it seem like he's way worse when he just isn't. Or Clown. He is a good killer. He's not bad at all. He's good. He's not weak. You could take into account SWF, but every killer struggles with that. Even Spirit and Nurse sometimes.

Against casual player almost every killer has a chance, but against good teams, doesn't matter if you are the best Michael Myers of the world, you will be relying on survivors making mistakes to get a chance. If they don't make mistakes, there's nothing the "insert low tier killer" can do about it.

Unless you're playing Nurse, Spirit, or Freddy that applies to every killer.

All the killer you mentioned are not really underrated. They are weaker then other killer. Being weaker doesnt mean that you cant win with them. I win with them, too, and i play some of them only for dailys. But i win bc im better than the survivor i verse.
Its eye opening when i win with myers 80% of my matches and then i get a good team and get completely destroyed.

Freddy is far weaker then Nurse and Spirit. You need too long to down good survivor.

He may be weaker than them but he is head and shoulders above the rest of the killers because his base kit is so oppressive.

His basekit has many options. But its not really oppressive against good survivor. He can defend every gen, but when survivor split up, he cant be everywhere. He gets downs with his snares, but he needs too much time. And survivor can ignore sleep.
Even with ruin and tinkerer a freddy cant stop survivor working on different gens. And when he interrupts them, he cant chase them bc it would take too long and three other gens are done.
Pyramid can atleast try to tunnel. And Hag would be stronger without object and flashlights.

His snares can shorten loops, not even counting if you combine that with something like bamboozle. We're talking about facing really good survivors right? Splitting up on gens is the best defense against any killer. But if a killer can get fast downs, and Freddy can if his snares are utilized properly, then he can snowball almost as effectively as any good Nurse or Spirit. Yes not as fast as a Nurse or a Spirit, but still very effectively against a good team.
PH's who try to tunnel good survivors will lose because they are guessing where the cage is (assuming someone was not right beside where the cage spawned to save then they are really wasting their time), and can still be looped by a good survivor if they manage to find them. Killers who try to tunnel against a good team are asking to lose. Good survivors know how a Hag and her web works. Its the potatoes who go blundering into it like a bull in a china shop that get snowballed hard by a Hag. Unless she has the shackles, but even then good survivors will be visually aware of trap placements.

It's not necessarily better or worse killers, just ones with more potential. Hypothetically with huntress, you could virtually cross-map snipe constantly--though this is not generally the case. If you go onto YouTube, Dowsey has made a very in-depth killer tier list that I almost whole-heartedly agree with. Every killer is viable, some just have better map control, more lethality, or an overall higher skill cap.

You need to tunnel against the best teams. Or atleast try to focus two survivor. Nurse and Spirit can catch up after a ds. When you dont have someone dead on 6 hooks, maybe less, you have lost. Tunneling doesnt work only with a killer who needs to rely on survivor mistakes, bc the tunneled survivor plays it safe.
I dont like tunneling but it is one of the best strategies like snowballing.
But its true that Survivor can play it safe against Pyramid and you will lose. But Freddy needs time for two hits, time to place snares and survivor can hold w. And he cant avoid ds. His chases are too long.
Without a flashlight a hag can force a hit with her traps. She can trap a loop quick and then the survivor needs to leave. I have seen some successfull hags in the BotB tournament (when Spirit and Nurse were not available). Not all survivor were the best, but freddy got destroyed in this tournament.

If you use a specific build he's the best killer in the game 100%.

Then play Blight on console. Even people who say he is trash is overrating him 😄

I dont think so. Which build?

Forever Freddy is still worse than Nurse or Spirit.

I like Survivors underestimating my Wraith.
It makes some hits possible.
Got a feeling they'll be a bit more careful soon...
