(Personal) Console Killer Tier List
I figured that it's been awhile since I've done a tier list, so I figured I'd give a Console players perspective on the Killer cast.
Note, the tier list assumes decent Survivors. These Survivors know what they are doing, but they aren't the greatest of all time. They make mistakes, but they know their role and what they need to do to win, which makes for a challenging game.
The Killers in these tier lists are using meta perks, as are the Survivors, but they are not using their good add-ons. i.e. no forever freddy, no tombstone piece myers, no iri head huntress ect ect
This isn't necessarily how many kills these Killers get, but a combination of how they feel to play, their overall strength versus decent Survivors and their ability to be used to their full extent, hence why Nurse isn't above all of them.

As a console nurse main, Nurse isnt that hard with a controller as many people make it sound like.
Nurse isnt as hard to play as in general, blight is harder imo.

I would put Hag in S over Freddy but overall accurate list. Not gonna argue on Blight and Nurse in D because I’ve heard how painful those two are on controller.

It's less because of the controller. It is more difficult to play Nurse with a controller, especially learning her. The issue for me, is that the FPS is so low when you come out of blinks that you can just...not see people. Additionally, I've noticed a lot of freezing issues with her and considering all of her non-Console issues, it lowers her on the list.
Also, last time I played her I got sick because she makes me extremely motion sick.

The only reason Hag isn't above Freddy is because of her play versus the Survivors I mentioned.
Freddy just performs better in those scenarios, his map pressure is just good.

Hag does have the power to be in S, but she doesn't really compare to the others that are in S, which is why she in A.
Is Demo too high or too low? He has a LOT of issues. He isn't super fun to play as, his powers are all very meh and he has no real standout abilities.
His Shred also drops FPS on Console, so it's honestly a detriment to try to use it, especially considering that you can't flick and you have lower sensitivity on Console.

hello consistent console player here it appears you misplaced deathslinger he is b-tier, and I'm pretty sure console nurse is easy for everyone not just me.

Myers is D tier to me. He just doesn’t excel at anything really
2 -
:(
3 -
The ONLY reason Myers isn't in D-tier is because he is fun to play (imo) and he can be used to his full extent on Console.
His strength isn't very high, but he does have some stuff that helps him.
1 -
Especially if we aren’t considering good add ons then Myers is just kinda garbage
1 -
He definitely isn't good.
But he can pop Tier III on unsuspecting Survivors, and that's really what keeps him ahead of the others.
1 -
I guess but assuming you’re playing effectively twins are a lot stronger than Myers
2 -
True, but I've found them miserable to play, people DC and Victor has FPS lowering issues.

I’m assuming your on current gen? When I was on current gen Slinger was a nightmare. Every time you ads the game would stutter
1 -
I’m just gonna say it blight is underrated on console I play him all the time on Xbox and I get so many kills with him at high ranks I think he should be S-tier with Oni and Freddy
1 -
I am.
Slinger honestly hasn't been super bad for me.
1 -
He definitely hasn't shown that.
I'd say that most Console players agree that Blight isn't good at all on Console.
2 -
As a fellow console player (on an OG Xbox One that somehow runs DbD without bursting into flames), I'd personally push Demo, Doc, and Nurse up a tier each.
I'd also drag both Freddy and Myers down a tier (entirely because of the massive frame-dropping they accrue due to their powers; it's super irritating to deal with on the regular).
And while it's probably just a result of really bad personal experiences with her, Plague is a big fat F-Tier character for me. I have had way too many instances of her just completely bugging out in really frustrating ways.

Why is huntress placed so high? I've heard she's very annoying to play as with a controller, isn't she? (I'm not being sarcastic, it's a legit question)
0 -
No,she's alright.
Only thing that is harder is going for long range shots.
Close and medium range is fine
1 -
I don’t understand I play him and I always get kills and this is at high rank gameplay yes I lose a couple games but I do very good with him is there something wrong with me or no cause I don’t think he’s bad
0 -
It's fine if you don't think he's bad, just most people (myself included) think he is.
0 -
Pretty much.
I'm honestly surprised that raising hatchets doesn't tank FPS
0 -
Are you on PC? This thread is specifically about Console.
0 -
Do you play the Twins? They aren't C tier on console :/
0 -
You can't flick on Console.
The sensitivity is drastically lower as well.
The game freezes whenever you use your power.
The FPS rarely gets to 30.
1 -
Yeah even after the buffs Trickster is still bad to play on console. Maybe I'm just bad but it's very difficult for me to aim well with a controller with the Trickster, speaking as someone who loves Plague. I think the recoil really hampers the console experience even if they reduced it recently.
1 -
He is, but DBD is badly ported/optimized on Console.
New CoD games run way better.

Here's a very detailed thread by @Bloodshade that explains Blights issues on console:

I spoke from my experience and you cant tell me i am wrong. Nurse is easy for me while blight is not.
0 -
Ah, yes, the list of pain.
1 -
A few if our PC cousins have wandered in to this fine thread. Welcome!
I always implore y'all to see things from our perspective, especially the killer side. Borrow a friend's PS4 or whatever, and fire up DBD. Pick your paingiver, and give it a couple of rounds. If you're truely brave enough head on inside, maybe even into Lery's.
And tell us all about it.

Red Forrest has been worse for me
1 -
Oh it isn't the difficulties those two killers have inside, in particular with Lery's. That's universal. What I'm wanting to share with the PCrs is the crazy frame drops console gets on the indoor maps. Depending on which killer and what's going on fps can droop to 10-15 in Lery's middle room for example.

For some reason the Forrest is fairly consistent for me performance wise. Perhaps I've just been lucky, or noticing it less because I still like that realm, even asn killer and despite it's size.
