The problem with newer killers

So I will be talking about the newer killers earliest being the pyramid head

all the newer killers' power designs have been a bit dull lately. the most interesting killers have been the twins but they came out with such an atrocious chapter and for some reason, BHVR wants to nerf their slugging potential and not their camping potential so no one really likes them which really sucks since they are one of the coolest killers in the game. then I guess pyramid head with those pretty neat cages but he just has another rage attack.

after these two all the other new killers have such a boring power design. take blight and trickster, blight is just another killer that runs as much as I like to play him his power is just so basic. and don't get me started on trickster. all he is another range killer and just a full auto huntress. from a balance-wise there is no point in paying him, your better off playing huntress. the thing is these killers look cool but their powers are so basic.

i really hope the next killer(hopefully MR.X or lady DImestucue ) brings something new to the table like AI or something and they are actually good

    I don’t blame them. Trickster is the only recent killer I don’t like though

    Blight is not basic. They need to lighten up on the ranged killers though. Every killer power seems to be countered by moving left and right.

    Blight is the best thing they've done in a while. Pyramid head is kinda cool. Trickster is a letdown. Twins are hag 2.0, few killers have any interest in playing them, survivors will see them 1/100 matches and wish it was less often than that

    The only RE killers that could feasibly make it into the game that I could see being actually interesting and unique are Nemesis and Birkin. It certainly wouldn't be Mr. X, who has no power and no personality beyond unstoppable wall, which means his power would be related to breaking things faster and lunging and charging. Jury is out on the big lady, I don't know much about her.

    The reason the devs are adding so many ranged options to the game is because they've recognized being a basic M1 killer is incredibly unfun and entirely up to the survivors screwing up. Every killer needs to be able to subvert the basic chase in some way in order to be fun and challenging.

    I can't think of too many powers yet to feature in the game. A hunter with and AI Wolf is something unique I can think of. A mist/fog version of nurse would be cool, but agin, nmost powers are rip offs of killers we already have
