Am I going too far into hell?
Some weeks ago I decided for some unknown reason to attempt to learn the entire killer roster. And since it made sense at the time, I do it addonless and perkless (am around 500 hours killer only at this point).
Needless to say, I am suffering.
Is this actually going to help me get better at the game or will I just die sooner if I keep going?

If it's fun, then keep going. If it's not fun, then stop. It's a game at the end of the day. Games are supposed to be enjoyable. I've been playing for a few years and there's only two killers I actually enjoy playing (have tried several). I think learning a killer perkless is a decent goal, but all of then? Tough call.

With focusing few killers I never felt as if I improve, or that the survivors just get stronger faster than I can keep up with. So this is attempt number two at making this game work for me (spoiler, it's worse)

Well my advice for you is to play properly as basic m1 killer first, try to outplay them in different tiles and have as many chases as possible, ofc you will lose many games but that is the way to improve. By doing so you will find yourself transform well between different killers, since you have built up a solid fundamental skill set the rest part (advanced techs) is easier to learn as well. To improve and consistently getting better at killer will naturally lose you many games so no need to be frustrated. Wish you going well with your games <3

That's what I've been doing honestly.
Best way to learn is to make it as difficult on yourself as possible, get good doing so, then add things to improve your chances.
Also another reason I want random perks as an option.

Well, I will try my best then. Lets hope the matchmaking favours me.

It will help you develop a basic understanding of the killer role and also find some ways to play around tiles you otherwise wouldn't think of, understand character specific limitations (you are not going to be able to fly as Trapper no matter how good you are) as well as give you some appreciation for different killers. But if you really want to be really good at playing killer, then it's best to focus on only a handful of killers. If you try to do everything, then your bound to fail at something.
Most killers have some nuances that take a lot of effort to really play out effectively. Sometimes hundreds or thousands of hours. And they vary between different killers even if they are similar. For example you might be good at finding perfect shots with Deathslinger but this will not mean that you are just as good at Huntress. Because Huntress's hatchets work very different.
I am currently learning how to play Bubba. His skill floor is inredibly low but using his chainsaw to the maximum potential is incredibly hard. Before that I learned how to play Billy (and still continue learning). And while both killers do have some similarities the overall gameplay is completely different. Playing a new killer is difficult and can be incredibly painful until you start to get better. The amount of tantrums I've gotten with Bubba over the past 2 days is probably higher than the total amount I've had before. And I've played this killer every now and then for 2 years. But it's so worth it when you get that first hit the survivor didn't expect and even surprise yourself at how much better you have gotten.
A little piece of advice when you go against better players. Don't focus too much on "winning" but prioritise "learning". Sometimes that means overcommitting to chase a survivor that you know you can't down quickly. Good opponents teach you a lot about what you do wrong, your killer's weaknesses and common counterplays.
The most important thing however is, that you have fun. If you have fun playing all killers in the roaster, then that's what you should do.
See you in the fog.

I tend to do this whenever I'm bored.

100 hours per killer and you'll be there, carry on

Focus on the ones you enjoy. No point in learning a killer if you don’t enjoy them.
I have over 2000 hours and barely play a lot of the killer cast because it’s just not worth it to learn them if I have more fun playing someone else.
Also don’t learn any killer add on less and perk less, that’s just going to make you miserable (especially the more add on reliant killers). Find a build that you enjoy and plays into your strengths and learn the killer that way.
