Kill Switch update: We have temporarily disabled The Legion due to an issue that allows for infinite power spam. The Legion will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

Spirit is legitimately the only killer that needs a nerf, but there are MANY that need buffs

Spirit in the current state is not sustainable, and she either needs to be nerfed, or preferably made harder to play and easier to counter, but gives a huge reward for learning, like Nurse.

Regardless, there is much more work that needs to be done on buffing the weaker killers.

Trapper - Is in desperate need of a brown bag to be base kit. This would do so much in improving his add on variety, and make him more viable. I feel like he’s one of the easier killers to make decent, as he just needs simple changes.

Trickster - I think main event needs a big buff, to have use other than pelting someone saving from a hook. It should also be able to be stored until needed. An idea to change it would be when main event is active, for a time, it would take less knives to down a survivor.

Myers & Pig - Both have extremely unhealthy add ons that need to be replaced. This should be covered for by improving their base kit, whether that’s making Pig move faster in stealth, removing tier 1 for Myers, giving him more abilities in tier 3, etc. They’re outdated.

Legion - Needs to be reworked from the ground up, there’s no easy fix that will make him strong AND fun to play against.

Hillbilly - Give him some useful add ons, instead of butchering a killer and completely ignoring him after.

Ghostface - Needs faster recovery basekit. To compensate for this, the recovery add ons would be nerfed, and his other add ons would get a complete overhaul to improve variety.

Not sure what to do about Clown, his chase is already quite strong. He’s an awkward one to fix.

Either way, the devs really are slacking on improving the weaker killers. Pig, Legion, Myers and Ghostface especially have been ignored for too long.

    I do know that Pig and Myers are getting some add-on passes soon but that's about it.

    Clown is fine,

    Hillbilly needs actual addons.

    Legion just needs addon rework,.

    Myers / pig are old school. they just needa give em something,

    Trapper needs an bag + a slightly darker traps without an addon to help that..

    Depipster needs a full buff. involving removing his recoil still...

    Myers and Ghostboi are really struggling since the Wraith buffs.

    Since Wraith has kinda sorta become meta, I see a lot more people running spine chill, which kills Myers and Ghosty. Hurts Pig pretty bad too.

    Those 3 stealth killers need the most help in my opinion.

    Yes you are right! Nerf Spirit and also buff those all killers. They needs buffs.

    Not on your list but Deathslinger also need buff. He needs better add-ons, him add-ons are trash.

    Also i wanna rework for Freddy add-ons.

    Hoe I would fix them:

    Trapper: You are right on the money! Give him Brown Bag base-kit. Nerf his bags slightly.

    Trickster: I haven't played him much, especially after his buff. It would be awesome if Laceration gave an extra effect. Like, give aura reading, based on the Laceration meter.

    Myers: remove reduced movement speed and lunge from Tier 1. An addon pass, removing problematic ones (mainly Infinite T3 and Tombstones). I don't know much more about his add-ons, so I'll stay away from those.

    Ghost face: his add-ons are trash. He is in bad need of an addon pass. Fix his reveal marker. Maybe give him an addon that uses this? Like make reveal range bigger, but also MUCH longer, so you can use it to find survs. Maybe even make them not look at you. His reveal also has to be consistent. If he can be revealed, he should be able to mark that person in that exact spot.

    Ms. Piggy: make her animations quicker, by a little. She feels slow with everything, especially without add-ons. She also should get more addon variety. Give her an addon that gives her Surveillance only while crouching?

    Legion: In my opinion, not really much needed regarding his power. Maybe a few number tweaks? Fatigue could be a LITTLE shorter? His add-ons are dogshite, tho. He can use more variety in his add-ons. Maybe an addon that gives him Instinct when hitting someone while carrying someone?

    Hillbilly: fix his animations. I don't really know about his add-ons. I think it is a good thing his charge speed add-ons have a negative now, but besides that, idk...

    Just some of my opinions on the killers listed...


    Spirit:

    When Spirit first released you could tell which direction she was phasing from through the sound of it. after complaints that she was way too weak (which she was) they buffed her and one of the buffs was that you couldn't tell which direction she was phasing from as the sound was made omnidirectional. I say....bring back the sound how it originally was. That and some kind of animation that shows she is starting to phase should be good. Every killer has a tell that they are starting to use their power, except spirit. So I say START with this for Spirit...see how it plays then make more adjustments as needed based on the gameplay. She definitely needs an adjustment...but we also don't want her to be as weak as she used to be.


    Trapper:

    I'd say he should start with ALL of his traps on hand. The limit would still apply as normal...you just wouldn't be able to pick up traps until you were no longer at/over the limit. Also...I agree...the brown bag at the least should be made base kit.


    Trickster:

    I agree that "Main Event" should be stored for when you need it. As is....it is mostly useless. Also...I feel that the knives should bounce at least once base kit. His name is Trickster and his draw is the "Trick Shots." As is...you need an add-on to do that.


    Myers:

    He may be old-school...but he is still fine as a killer. I am more worried that they will needlessly nerf him rather than remove problems and buff where needed. Tombstone Piece needs to be changed, no exceptions. Vanity mirror...as a Very Rare...is useless. It either needs a buff or should be lowered to Rare or Uncommon. His Stalk also shouldn't have a limit...either that or a portion of what was stalked off of survivors should come back as gens are done OR as survivors are hooked.


    Pig:

    I haven't been playing much pig so I can't really respond to what she needs. She is my favorite to play as...but I have been saving that for when i finally got around to prestiging her.


    Legion:

    Honestly...legions power is ok at best. It works but...maybe for another "new" killer. Legion should be fully reworked...especially since ai are now possible. They could be reworked to incorporate another ai legion member being in the trial with you and your power revolve around giving commands. Perhaps both the male and female legion are in the trial at the same time and you just chose which one you want to use before you ready up for the match. Another possibility (that I Personally want) is to forgo having a power, reduce Legion's movement speed to that of the survivors...or slower....and allow another player to play as the second Legion member. (I honestly don't think this would work....but I want it regardless lol.)


    Hillbilly:

    Can't really comment on him as I chainsaw the walls more than survivors....lol.


    Ghostface:

    I think Ghostface is good as is. I personally don't see anything that should change other than survivors exposing him...as sometimes it just doesn't work.


    Clown:

    I don't know. His recent change was mostly just....yea... They could have been a little more creative....but I really don't know what to do for him myself.
