Which killers will/should be reworked?

I feel most of the newer killers (dredge, artist, Wesker) should be reworked as they are far too strong. I wonder if they actually will be though. Also some killers seem too weak.

    The only killers that need actual reworks (as in, complete overhaul of their kit, add-ons, etc.) are Legion and Plague. That’ll probably never happen, though.

    If we’re talking Freddy or Doc style reworks, I reckon only Twins.

    Clown’s update was not a rework, it was flat buffs. What you’re asking for here is flat nerfs, not reworks.

    If/when the Mori update comes through, Twins definitely would need a rework. Otherwise I would be down for a Plague rework, make her corrupt purge less clunky to use.

    Legion, Twins and Freddy.


    Legion are incredibly unfun to face and their design holds them back from being anything better.

    Twins are...literally the same as Legion. Cool concept, bad execution.


    Freddy should get to be a blend of old and new Freddy.

    I'll just address the elephant and obviously state Pig and Trapper.

    The new ones can be toned down by adjust perks etc, but Pig with ambush which is useless and Trappers well traps are so archaic they'll stay dumpster tier until they are reworked.

    Twins are new, but require adjustment, and Legion was just done which apart from being "mending simulator" are still able to be semi competitve, same with Twins.

    Legion honestly, I'm so bored playing them and yet they have some of my favourite skins, it sucks. Also to make things worse they are boring to go against also, I hate the "rework" with the 4 hit they introduced, it just encourages people to play awfully as them.

    Since the devs have already mentioned that they don't necessarily want every killer to be strong, I think the roster is pretty solid. You could tweak little things here and there, but all in all, we're on a good course, considering the goal they're pursuing. If you ask for personal opinions, of course it always depends on the point of view from which you look at things.

    When I play swf -> Almost every killer is too weak

    When I play solo -> Almost every killer is too strong, but that is only because of the ridiculously bad teammates

    When I play killer -> Maps are usually the indicator of how much fun I will have.

    Twins, Freddy and Myers need reworks. None of the killers you counted need reworks though. Maybe a slight nerf to Artist but Wesker and Dredge are fine. They both offer plenty of counterplay.

    I don't know why people think Plague needs a rework. She is strong and after her QoL updates she doesn't feel as clunky anymore.

    In my humble opinion.

    -Trapper: Reload up to 2 traps until max amount is on the field from lockers. No more traveling to Mordor for 1 trap.

    Sadako: Condem could do something at 3 and 5 stacks so is not all or nothing?

    Nemesis: Fix that godamm zombies and improve IA. (And addon pass)

    Clown: Minor buff to yellow bottles.

    In what world are newer killers too strong tho? I think new killers are (with some exceptions) really well balanced. Esp the ones you mentioned. Artist and wesker are strong, but definitely not too strong. Dredge is, if anything, too weak.

    Reworks are not really necessary imo, maybe legion, but i think buffs like they did with clown or GF are better for most.
