Is it too crazy for me to ask for buffs for low tier killers?
for killers such as trapper, wraith, doctor, pig, freddy kreuger, michael myers and hillbilly?

Does the Doctor really need any buffs though? He seems pretty solid in the right hands.

That's not a priority right now

Tbh pig and freddy REALLY need a look at the others are fine

No all the killers are OP now after the patch!!! Survivors have no chance!!

They put their full killer balance passes on hold this year because of the massive perk rework and other things on the 2022 roadmap. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they get back to doing some passes next year, probably starting with Sadako since I think she would have been due for one this summer.

Iirc, he has a pretty high kill rate. Before SBMM, he had the highest at red rank, even.

OMG WHAT IS THE ISSUE WITH SADAKO SHE IS PERFECTLY FINE AS IS I UNDERSTAND MAYBE IF THE BUFF CONDEMNATION A LITTLE BUT THATS ALL SHE NEEDS

I agree, I think Sadako is on par with Wraith. I wouldn’t mind seeing them maybe get rid of her Lullaby or tweak her a bit but I don’t think she needs a major buff.
Either way though she hasn’t had her full balance pass at all yet.

Legit I would either make it 6 stacks for full condemnation or make it so it gives you 1 and a half stacks for teleporting near someone

The number needs to stay at 7 because “7 days” is her whole schtick. But I could see them maybe speeding up how fast they build up or having it build passively slowly kind of like Freddy putting people to sleep.

All Killers can do good in the right hands...
It's more on the Survivor side that needs more buffs

Pig should definitely get a nerf.

I played a game against Pig and totally misplayed. I ran into a dead end, was inefficient and would have probably played better if I had been intoxicated to the point of passing out.
The obvious conclusion is Pig needs a nerf.
Jokes aside, all of the Killers you mentioned need a buff. The delta between them and the top Killers is too great and needs to be lessened.

I don't think you are crazy. M1 killers are still miserable against good teams.

Wraith I feel does not need anything he is very easy to use and stomps middle and low mmr survivors. He bit struggles in high mmr but he is very good at tunneling so he can potentially do fine agains't good survivors. Trapper needs to start with all his traps that is buff he could use. Myers should never run out of stalk.

Killers did just get some pretty good qol changes.
I’d say most of the roster can hold their own now. To some extent.
I say this as someone who plays a lot of Myers and Trapper, they are probably my go to killers when I first fire up a game for the day.

Lmao. No. The b and lowe tier killer all need buffs.
Solo q needs buffs not survivor itself.
This is mostly due to map RNG hosing all lower tier killers.

The answer is yes, it is too crazy.
If any player can beat any survivor for any reason, under any circumstances, that means all killers are clearly too strong and they're all super OP. Why would they ever buff (or un-nerf) killers that never actually get played? That would be crazy! Survivors love playing against the same 2-4 killers every game, afterall.

everything is the issue with sadako but unfortunately her mains are on too much copium to realize this, however unless they buff her most people are not gonna bother playing this dogwater killer and in the near future her pickrate would be right next to clown and trapper (if it isn't there already)
however i don't think her issues are gonna get solved without a rework that gives her a chase power and that probably will never happen.
least they could do is make her phasing like 1-1.5/1.7 seconds so she could like actually use it in chase.

I personally think Shock Therapy could use a tiny bit more range, but a slightly thinner area of effect. Might just be me though.

In my eyes, being low tier doesn't make you a priority for changes. Being problematic, or downright really bad, puts you on the block for changes.
That being said, I'm not saying those killers don't deserve some love, specifically freddy and michael, but those can be due to licensing if I remember correctly (freddy wasn't able to be reworked until some licensing stuff went through if im not mistaken).
In terms of wraith, doctor, hillbilly, and pig: they are simply lower mid to low tier killers. Nothing wrong with that, not every killer will be the best by design. That is how most pvp character based games go, especially after 6 years. I'd rather have killers that just do not work well be changed, like the twins; or I'd rather have some characters have addon passes like Nemesis or Pyramid Head.
Those killers on your list work as intended. They are definitely weaker, that is for sure. Unplayable? Not really. You won't be winning every single match as them that is for sure, but that is normal in a pvp game lol it would be more problematic if you were WINNING every single match fairly easily -- like a certain two killers.

LOL.... Yes.... The B and lower tier Killers do need something to help them, but there isn't much they can do other then individual Killer changes
Solo's are hard to buff without touching SWF's
Yes Maps do have something to do with the current state of the game... and if they make those changes it'll help the High Mobility Killers
They are stuck in between a rock and a hard place... anything they do will help the the things that don't need help

I agree she is a decent spot but some things need to change.....
Lullaby needs to go she doesn't have it normally and it makes no sense she has it now. Wraith dosnt have one, Pig dosnt have one, GF doesn't have one......
Tapes need to be a physical object that forces players to drop thier items like with the puzzle box, first aid sprays, or antidotes. Just make it if they drop it they still gain condemn until they turn it in.
Tapes shouldnt take a literal sec to return because I have lost so many full condemn Killers because they were able to "Gen tap" the tape in.
Her teleport needs some fine tuning, I have had some TVs spawn in areas with no Gens nearby so it makes those pointless and safe areas to take tapes because the Killer wouldn't go there so they can keep pressure.
