Tier-List 5.2.0
Pinhead is pathetic, his chains are like 20% effective, The survivors take them off very quickly, they use the structures to break them and Pinhead himself breaks them just by going through them, it is absolutely pathetic.
Once the chains hunts counter starts, they will always go for the box to nullify my power, with the MMR it is uncomfortable to play Pinhead and rather uncomfortable to play with most of the killers except the strongest.

Yup, Pinhead is terrible and needs to be buffed.
2 -
I dont know how to rate Pinhead for now, but the rest of it is very accurate.
3 -
Pinhead imo is on the same level of Doctor. Both have very similar antiloop powers where you have to hit survivors consistently to get a hit and a good passive power (Madness and Chain Hunt).

I like this one, but I´d put Ghostface a few tiers lower. His chase is literally the worst in the game.
1 -
I would put pinhead above legion personally.
1 -
I don’t really think Freddy is that good anymore. Wraith easily outclasses him imo

Other than Pinhead (which I havent played so I cant judge), I find this tier list extremely accurate and have nothing to complain about really.
1 -
Dear Lord people need to at least play a bit more before shitting on Pinhead.
In my opinion he is pretty strong and arguably B+ or A tier. But he is not easy to master. I'm sure if he does seem underpowered down the line BHVR will further buff him.

I remember when people were calling Blight weak. kekw

Why so manny tiers? There's really on 3 tiers. Top tier Nurse, everyone agress, then there's Blight and Stridor Spirit and the final tier is everyone else. Everyone else is below those 2 tiers so splitting those even further is pointless. There's S tier for Nurse, A tier for Blight and Stridor Spirit, RIP Stridor, and then there's E tier , the Exists tier, for everyone else.

Nemesis, who is mixed bag of whatever he has and does, ahead of PinHead? Nah this clearly is Bait.
0 -
Yes yes, buff Pinhead because survivors can actually dodge his power. Omg.
Killer powers supposed to be undodgeable, zero downside when feathering and zoning (Deathslinger, Demo, Phead)

This is probably the first time I almost perfectly agree with a tier list, however I disagree with Pinhead's placement.
Here is my tier list:
1 -
I cannot agree with Pinhead, at all. As someone that already mains him and is starting to see his uses, he is at least B tier.
Don't use chains at loops that contain vaults. They are pointless most of the time. Pallet exclusive loops are entirely shut down by his power.
Run double lament resolving time increase addons, and try to approach the solving survivor by foot, and if not close enough, use your power to cancel the solving, because yes, chains do stop it. This is 90% of the time a guaranteed chain hunt.
Use chains to cancel actions, use them against holding w, regardless of what people say, you do get closer if you don't stay 5 years in the gate.

Pinhead by virtue of chain hunt alone is B tier, its powerful and basically stops any tangible generator progress and forces survivors to go do something else, which slows the game down. You can also force survivors into opening it, allowing you to find an easy chase as you teleport right next to them.
His M2 is weak, it breaks too fast, especially around environments but this ''he's trash'' complaining is ridiculous. Any killer with FREE generator is B+

Kind of have to agree about pinhead. I played 6 or so rounds of him, then played a few rounds of Clown afterwards. Clown has an objectively better chase than pinhead, even if you're hitting your hooks often. 4 bottles, a thousand times easier to aim, and each one of them gives you the same (or more) slowdown than landing a chain hit with pinhead. Chain hunt is nice, but against a decent team, you'll have exactly 0 seconds of it during the entire match. It's not like that's a rare occurrence. Half of my games never had a second of chain hunt in them, and there's nothing the killer can do about it
I honestly feel like anyone that's doing well with pinhead would be doing noticeably better with Clown. It's not winning due to the strength of the killer, it's winning due to that player being good at killer in general

I'm sorry, is maining a Killer that came out mere days ago supposed to mean something?
2 -
I'm sorry, is this supposed to mean something? I have started to play the new killer a lot and I started to learn what works the best on him. I told my personal thoughts and gave advice to do the best with him. I don't see why the agressivity.
3 -
There's no aggressivity, just like there's no meaning or value in saying you main someone that came out like 72 hours ago. If anything, it's likely going to imply bias at this point.
1 -
Nemesis is certainly not C tier. He's high B tier at his worst, i feel like people massively underestimate him because he isn't nurse or blight. But he seriously has a ton going for him, and he absolutely CHEWS through most loops in the game. He has 2x the zoning of demo, with the lethality of a 6m lunge that goes OVER objects AND can break pallets. It is extremely hard to escape a good nemesis once they've started to clear out the map and reach tier 3. He is absolutely on the same tier as demo, if not better than demo.
0 -
72 hours means 3 days. And add another 4-5 days from PTB. I think that after one whole week of playing a character whose playstyle I like, I can already form an opinion on their power level.
I also like playing Pig and I don't say she is strong. Maybe because I am not biased to put my beloved characters up there when it's not needed.
Ignore that I said I main Pinh. Tell me in what way I am wrong in what I said please.
Edit: looking at this tier list, I would put him between Wraith and Bubba. Aka, most middle tier killer here.
TBH, his wide range of addons allows for different playstyles, and I think people just need time to properly learn his best one.
1 -
I also think that solving the box is faster than pulling out an inverted trap and similar to getting a vaccine. Its power is perfect but it is poorly organized.
0 -
Pinhead is a killer with the skill ceiling of nurse, but the rewards of clown.
Fun to play and look at though. Props BHVR
2 -
Pinhead is AT LEAST at the same level as Freddy and I still don't play him very well. He has decent map pressure, slowdown, chase... He is good overall.
0 -
Worst comparison I've ever seen. He is WAY weaker than Freddy.
2 -
Pinhead is pretty terrible if you aren't getting chain hunts (which is a little too easy for survivors to prevent). But if you focus on getting the box off the survivor who picks it up instead of teleporting to them he becomes decent. Teleporting is pretty weak as not only does it put the chain hunt on cooldown, but you often appear in a position where you can't take advantage of a quick hit since survivors control where they solve it. Teleporting is nice if you have nothing else to do at the moment since it brings you right to a survivor.
I say he's at least C tier since he's too reliant on having chain hunts active.
