    Well I have phases where I play a killer for a while until I found another I'd like to play more. First it was huntress until I was decent as crossmaps, then it was blight where I got decent at 180 and okayish at moonrushes, then it was chucky where I got decent at 180. At the moment I just switch xD

    I think the phrase 'killer main' refers more to the role you're playing. Same with 'survivor main'. Like, when you play (almost) exclusively Killer. It doesn't really matter in that case that you often change which character you play, you're still playing the role of Killer.

    yes I would say players "maining" certain killers is extremely common, the average player is more likely to seek comfort in a playstyle that satisfy them until they get bored rather than constantly try to mix things up.

    I got a spinner I use and I got like 8killers I play but I do have mains if I just want a quick one. I say main is the one you play the most. So you can play a lot but still have a main

    I mean, I main Sadako, but 40% of my playtime is survivor. So, not really a killer 'main'?

    I guess a real killer main would exclusively run any and all killers and put all their time into killer role.
