New difficulty ratings on some killers are VERY wrong (New webside feedback)
I like the desing and look of the new webside. Good job there. However I would like to share my opinion on these difficulty ratings. There are many killers that I would arque about (like Trickster is not easy, Legion should be easy, etc.) but I will rather focus on the VERY WRONG imo picks.
Hillbilly - is NOT easy killer. He should be rated hard difficulty.
Shape - is NOT hard killer. He should be easy difficulty.
Freddy - is NOT hard killer. He should be easy or at least medium difficulty.

It can never be right because everyone is going have a different opinion. It means nothing anyways, even to new players.

i dont think this is primarily about how difficult it is to play a character well, but rather how difficult it is for a completely new player to pick this character up and understand them.
The Hillbilly for example has a very straight forward power: you got a chainsaw and people hit by it die. also you go speed with chainsaw. its not a difficult concept to wrap your mind around, hence the "Easy" rating. Though Overheat has taken a toll on that, so i would definitely agree to bump it up to "Mediocre".
Shape is definitely not a hard Killer to play, however he can be relatively confusing towards new players. Many dont quite understand what Tier 1 even is and stay in it far too long or dont understand that they can get out of it at all. Then there is the stalk limit and the time limited Tier 3, it can be a little much. Though i would agree that "Hard" is too much, he too should be bumped down to "Mediocre" in terms of difficulty.
And then there is Freddy, who, once again, is really straight forward gameplay wise, but his power is just a lot and is going to confuse a lot of new players with its mechanics. I do actually think that "Hard" is a decent rating for him mainly for that reason.

Just a quick note, but the website does not include the new difficulty ratings which were announced in the developer update earlier today. They'll need to be updated once the update goes live.
Though that said, it's important to remember that these ratings are an indicator for new players to tell how hard it'll be to play that Killer reasonably well, not necessarily master them. Someone like Hillbilly has a lot of room to improve with this like curving and knowing when to rev your chainsaw, but a new player could still do alright by using the chainsaw to get around the map and punishing out of position Survivors.

Funny thing is that hillbilly used to have hard difficulty while having very strong charge addons and cooldown addons. Also it would be great if overheat would get removed. Just try going to the game map and follow survivor and destroy every pallet, like with bubba for example, you’ll get overheat just from trying to destroy pallets xd

I think he's about moderate at this point now but I've played him since he came out here and there, I wish they would take the overheat away I'm still salty about Billy being nerfed when the only thing he needed was insta saw reworked, he was a killer I used to play often and now I just have very little desire to play Billy at all even though he's not really bad , I feel like anyone who played Billy back then will agree he's not really weak but the changes they made, made it annoying to play him when you were used to the way it was , I'm sure a new person could pick Billy up and easily like him as a killer but for anyone here before it's like the things that changed were almost made to annoy the person playing it, felt like they wanted you to not use him
