    I remember saying he would be at least A tier. Any killer with really good mobility is definitely in the higher tiers. I believe mobility is more important in this game than chase mechanics.

    I thought he'd be good in some loops but definitely didn't expect him to be so good in most loops. Also his turning is something no one could see coming.

    I thought he was gonna be weak cause of how bad he was in ptb. I know he was bugged but I didn't think that it was that bugged.

    I'm super bad with him so I don't play him, but I fully believe that no killer is actually bad, you just have to learn the right strategy

    Plenty of people said Spirit was bad when she released and wanted her to be 115%.

    A lot of people defended Mettle of Man and said it wasn’t that strong when that released.

    DS got people calling it trash when it was initially reworked.

    Nurse was going to be dead and weak and unplayable after her nerf. Lol.

    While some people can have a decent idea about how weak/strong something might be when it launches, most people have no clue and instantly call something trash or OP despite having no idea. I’m glad the devs don’t listen to knee jerk panic about changes/new releases, honestly.

    I don't remember people saying he was weak. I remember watching streamers and the majority agreed he was a potentially stronger killer that needed some tweaks, tweaks he received very soon after.

    He is in S tier cause all other killers are garbage.

    Find me a killer player that mains Blight that will get 3K+ at high MMR on a regular basis. It's maybe 0,1% of the ppl playing him.

    Blight is still useless on console. The sudden lag spikes and the turning rate make him unbearable.

    It’s happening with every killer since Deathslinger since people have incredibly hot takes while playing this game and even the thought of losing is triggering.

    The only issue i think pinhead still has is his tier 1 myers lunge and that the extra chains that he summons with his power sometimes spawns really near objects making them easy to break are what is making him quite underwhelming.
