    bold of you to assume that REAL survivor mains want killer buffed generally speaking (you can ask this to people that play both sides or killer, but most of the times the typical surv main will tell you that more killers need to be "tuned down")

    I’m a Survivor main and personally, I wouldn’t mind buffs to any and all killers in principle. The issues isn’t so much the buffs, more the residual and connective impacts.

    That is why my personal idea would be that the MMR of a killer and the MMR of a survivor could perhaps affect the potency of their buffs.

    So for example, if a low mobility killer faces a higher MMR group of survivors, they get basekit speed buffs or individual buffs (trapper with extra traps, or the survivors only being able to yellow versions of their perks).

    I think this idea would obviously have some big challenges to navigate getting right and may be full of holes but a dynamic system is the only solution I can think of (in current circumstances) that wouldn’t give a blanket buff/nerf that will open up the whole ‘solos will get stomped by buffs to killers’ conundrum

    I feel like both Myers & Freddy are overdue for buffs. Freddy’s add-on have been nerfed into being some of the worst in the game. Myers base kit power take too long to build up before it can have any impact.

    I don't think a single survivor would want a buff for any killer unless the killer is at F Tier, or its the one killer that they dabble with.

    Not a Killer main or Survivor main, but Freddy really needs something, they are just really boring to play as/against and just need more going for them.

    Wouldn't call myself a survivor main but I think a whole lot of people on these forums would

    Killers I would be fine with getting buffed: Trapper, Myers, Freddy, Pig, Clown, Ghost Face, Demogorgon

    Killers I'd love to see tweaked (buffed in some places with minor nerfs in others): Wraith, Legion, Knight, Singularity, Xenomorph

    I mean, they said Billy before and we saw how that turned out. Anything above B tier and they (generally) dislike it.
    Even if they say they won't.

    Well, I may not be a survivor main, but to combat some of the "us vs them" posting I'm seeing…

    Generally speaking, it's not the strength of the killer that matters, it's how much it allows for survivor skill expression and counterplay.

    The problem is that it's rare for a killer to be good while also allowing for survivor skill expression and counterplay.

    Hillbilly, Wesker, Huntress, and Oni are all examples of killers who I find survivors enjoy being matched against while also being strong.

    Meanwhile, some lower tier killers who survivors seem to hate being matched against are Knight, Skull Merchant, old Legion. They're all killers who deny survivor skill expression, even if the end result is that they're on the weaker side.

    1. Dredge, I really felt like it for a long time. She is finally getting some love :)
    2. Demogorgon - he needs his traversal buff
    3. Freddie - definitely not lining up with newer killers
    4. pyramid head, but make him not able to tunnel that easily
    5. deathslinger because missing hurts him a lot
    6. Trapper - s tier in good hands, but it's very hard to play well as one so should get some buffs
