Killers viable list - High level
NOT VIABLE
Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Myers, Doctor, Bubba, Freddy, Pig, Clown, Legion, Ghost Face, Demogorgon, Deathslinger, Trickster, Cenobite
MIGHT BE VIABLE BUT YOU NEED TO BE TOP 0,01%
Blight, Oni, Twins, Huntress
(actually i know only 1 Blight player in Europe good enough to perform well - Spanish, more than 1000 hours with Blight)
VIABLE
Nurse, Hag, Spirit, Pyramid Head, Nemesis, Plague
So let's do the maths : 25 killers
Viable = 6 (24%)
Viable only if you are pro = 4 (16%)
Not viable (basically unplayable) = 15 (60%)
I guess the vast majority of the high MMR playerbase will agree with me. Sad to see that most killers are useless and that a large part of the viable ones needs so many dedication to be mastered to reach the skill needed to perform well with them.
The game should rely on map control and strategy to get the win but no it relies only on the ability you have to down a survivor fast enough to not loose time. The brain is not needed anymore...

....Nemesis? Seriously?

There are 3 viable high level killers. Nurse, Spirit, Blight. No one else can compete at high level.

I cant aggre with that because i believe only 2 killer are viable and that nurse and blight the rest are good against the average survivor

This has to be one of the worst tier lists I've ever seen.

What do you mean by viable?
Getting a 50 win/4K streak on public games?
Winning against "pro" teams?
Getting 2-4Ks in most games?
2 -
Pyramid Head, Nemesis, & Plague viable at the top? Dude, stop playing lol.
List invalid!
10 -
or maybe play more?
2 -
Nemesis is a better killer than blight?
4 -
I've probably been here longer than you. Been around since right before Myers released. Those killers are not good at the top.
Only Nurse, Blight & Spirit.
0 -
Plague?, Nemisis?, PYRAMID HEAD!? Bruh you ever seen top tier survivors and how they usually just ignore All the projectiles and ranged attacks?
1 -
chill. I'm saying OP could play more, to get more familiar with the game, as an alternative to simply stop playing, as was your suggestion XD
1 -
Hag can be good with the right set up and a basement hook is at least a hit or 30 seconds of 2 survivors not doing anything.
0 -
I was saying "stop playing" as in joking around etc. I would never tell him to stop playing the game. Not my place lol
0 -
Yeah I knew it was a joke, I was also continuing the joke by saying he could also play more Killer and I'm sure this list would get adjusted eventually :P

Nemesis main here, you are actually mental if you think nemesis is in the viable tier.
8 -
By viable i mean standard High MMR survivors you get at high MMR. Not SWF competitive teams and not always SWF.
But yes, for the Top 1% of the survivors, only the Nurse is viable.
Spirit won't do anything at that level and Blight will need 9k DPI which, as i have said, is an exploit.
Everyone say Blight is good but in the whole community i know only one good enough Blight player that is able to compete competitively, maybe 2 : Lilith and a Spanish guy.

I think hag can compete sometimes. But out of all the top tiers she's by far the most inconsistent.
0 -
Tier S and Tier A killers are viable at high MMR guys and in my list, killers viable and might be viable are all tier S/A.
But as i have said it's for the general "casual" matchmaking. With the current state of the game, just Nurse is able to compete against good SWFs. All other killers would get 1 to 3 hooks.
0 -
Nurse, Blight, and a few other killers with the strongest possible stuff can be viable. Nobody else competes.
1 -
Nemesis is far from a top tier killer my friend lol
I love the big guy but he's not that great, just not horrible either.
Best killers in my book are Nurse and Blight....then under that Spirit, Leatherface, Oni...possibly Hag, but I think she is overrated.
Everyone is mid tier or ######### tier in my book.
I really can't take you serious when you say Pyramid Head and Nemesis are top tier killers.
0 -
Stopped reading when I saw how you rate Blight, Nemesis and Pyramid head.
3 -
At high level only Nurse, Spirit and Blight.
Any other killer takes too long to down experienced loopers and is too slow to defend gens effectively.
Pyramid Head, Nemesis and (especially) Plague are playthings for elite level survivors.
0 -
Plague? Pyramid Head? NEMESIS??? How is Nemesis in Viable when he's a worse Demogorgon which is a worse Pyramid Head? Dude what game are you playing??? And Blight is only "Might be viable"? What is this tier list
3 -
everyone puts hag in like S tier without knowing just 1 survivor can absolutely annihilate her lol (maybe play her so u get what i mean)

These debates are about to be as good as the ones triggered by Dave Chappelle. Let's watch 😈

'Viable' is a tricky word. As is 'high level'.
I'd say that, after a certain point, PH, Nemesis and Plague certainly aren't high tier picks and Spirit...Spirit is tricky.
Hag is certainly not in this list - coordinated groups of good survivors will run rings around a Hag (and that was before boons, which she struggles against). Otz had an easier time getting 50 wins on Doctor. Doctor. Before the crazy Halloween patch.
The issue is:
- Far too many maps simply hard-counter M1 killers, and several counter ranged killers. RPD is a big offender here, as it has the first true infinite loop that we've seen in a while.
- At a 'high level', killers rely on very specific perks/tactics to stand a chance, usually proxy-camping and slugging. These are so widely complained about by survivors that they are almost certainly going to be changed.
- High powered toolboxes+PTS+MTL are simply too effective. It's amazingly discouraging to have multiple gens popping before you've even had a chase.

Dammit this could've been bait and we fell for it lol

I spit my morning cereal after I read the same thing as well....

I think Némesis is slightly better than pyramid head, but I think the guy who made the list only said because he plays a lot with those killers but his list isn't valid for me, I mean don't have any of those, but Némesis and Myers works very well for me
2 -
Yeah, no
So, I am too lazy to find differences so let's just sort it from start.
Non-viable
Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Cannibal, Shape, Doctor, Nightmare, Pig, Clown, Legion, Ghost face, Deathslinger, Trickster, Cenobite, Nemesis, Demogorgon
Viable
Hag, Huntress, Plague, Oni, Executioner, Twins
Best
Nurse, Spirit, Blight

Well, if you will start with approach everything is legal and you get lucky enough to down someone in your 3-gen, then you can camp him and then defend your 3-gen against 3 survivors. It was done by Mathiiis in tournament this way.
But I took this more with approach of normal gameplay. There is not many players that will play like this every game, but there are some for sure.
Problem with some killers I put into non-viable is that it really depends on map you get.
It's hard to do this with just 3 options, classic S,A,B,C,D is way better for this.
I would put bubba in B in that system.

lmao this post is a joke
