What killer do you think moved up a tier with this recent patch?

I want to see Pinhead's win rate against four solos.

Every Killer moved up multiple Tiers.

Baseline, I don't think anyone in particular, as everyone received the same basekit buffs, so their growth is the same across the board.

However, when taking Perk synergies into account, I do think Demogorgon slightly moved up the ladder due to its great synergy with Save The Best For Last and also Legion and Plague are slightly better now due to the Thanatophobia buff. MAYBE Nurse, because the number one counter Perk to her, Dead Hard, is now gone (then on the other hand, I don't think the other chase related buffs help her at all so that's a bit of tough one).

But outside of that I don't think any Killer in particular is in a better place than before (in terms of tier lists). But maybe I'm forgetting someone?

Before she was D-tier. But honestly? Even with the buffs she got last time to her addons, I would place her in the lowest of C-tier. This is because her ambush ability does nothing against survivors who just hold W. Against better survivors you are essentially a slower m1 killer with slowdown. A lot of her addons still suck too. The stealth can sometimes help, but is also kinda weak.

The only thing that makes her strong is when running tampered timer and crate of gears. But again, she is an m1 killer. They might be stronger without dead hard, but they can still be dealt with very easily.

I haven't done much killer testing on this patch so far but I will say dredge feels much better now. Despite the hype they were mid B tier but now they can delay and get even more nightfalls and chase is much less frustrating so they're probably A tier now almost certainly. I doubt I'll be able to do a lot of killer testing until BP incentives come back and bring queue times down though.

Personally I think the biggest boost is actually the killers who were particularly weak to having special abilities dodged by Dead Hard, such as Twins, Deathslinger, Demogorgorn and Trapper. Trapper in particular no longer has to worry about people hopping over his traps which is a nice plus, and Deathslinger’s spear works through the new version of Dead Hard.

A lot of people are saying Legion and Plague got boosted but honestly the gen slowdown combos with Thana already were pretty solid on them, the buff to it is nice but doesn’t make them move up a tier rank I don’t think.

Its generally easy to know which direction the killer is coming from unless you're at a center gen. Most gens only have a couple of ways to be approached from. Survivors just have to run away, and considering they have a 36 meter head start they are getting away (unless they stay in place...then thats on them - but that's just them ignoring the per).

In my experience so far, the moment I'm within 36 meters, they all take off for the hills and find another gen. You can actively avoid the killer at all times running that perk. Been running it on my survivor every match. So far, I've been last to get hooked. Just makes evading killers super easy.

As for stealthers, you can't get sneak attacks on anyone. They know you're in the area, so they aren't going to stick around and wait for you to attack. It's essentially giving them their own custom terror radius - defeats the whole point of having stealth, so yeah, at that point stealthers are just m1 killers without their main power.

My hitting people the last couple of days who have Spine Chill says otherwise. They know you’re around but even if they run, where do they run? If they can’t see you directly and they run then they’re not on a gen, which is good for me, and I still might even get the drop on them if I come from behind obstacles.

Mind you, I’m not talking about getting actual grabs, but getting closer than average is entirely possible.

Clown for sure. Pallet breaking speeds is great for him and so are weapon recovery speeds and less speedboost when hit for survivors.

Trapper. Hands down. I play using Overcharge, Thana, Agitation and Iron Grasp. Having fun with this build, atm. Especially with iri add-ons. Great against bullysquads.
