With all the balance changes and whatnot what's everyone's Killer tier list look like?

I just posted my tier list and I never once said anything related to Huntress so that was a hella weird assumption.
You can 4 blowout with all killers, but relative with other killers Hag has been massively powercrept as other killers can do what she does (proxy camp, basement camp, 3 gen) better and that's without having to set up a web that can be easily destroyed and having the risk of being rendered as a powerless 110% speed M1 killer. The fact that even most of her mains seem to believe she's weak against high level survivors in her current state is all I need to know about her strength considering that a killer's mains should be the ones arguing for their strength to begin with.

Be careful using the word "chess" round these parts 😏😏😏😏

Nurse at the top, Freddy at the bottom. Everything else is... a mess.
I remember a few years back most of us had a pretty similar idea of where to rank each killer but now it's pure chaos.

I feel like Clown gets slept on in a lot of these. He's literally what everyone hated about Skull Merchant in the massive speed differentials he creates.
His 4v1 isn't the best but you don't loop a clown, you predrop the entire map until he catches you so if you're on a map with a lower pallet count good luck if you don't get the gens done in the first 5 minutes of the game.

S+: Nurse, Blight, Billy
S: Spirit, Twins, Chucky, Singularity, Artist
A+: Plague, Oni, Pyramid Head
A: Unknown, Xenomorph, Lich, Dracula, Hag
B+: Huntress, Slinger, Pinhead, Wesker
B: Wraith, Trickster, Knight, Dredge, Nemesis, Demogorgon, Clown
C+: Doctor, Trapper, Myers, Leatherface, Freddy, Pig, Onryo
C: Legion, Ghostface, Skull Merchant
This would be a rough overall rating, taking into consideration all add-ons. If I were to rate them based on using their best add-ons only instead, most would end up in B+ and above, with A and even A+ becoming rather crowded. Only few would enter into S though (Plague due to her Ultras, maybe Hag due to Shackles and Rag). I'm not too decided on some of these though, like Dracula who could be A+, or Merchant who may not be quite C.
It also always bears pointing out that tier lists like this compare the killers' strength among each other, it does not talk to their "viability" in and of itself. I play a fair bit of Legion for instance and I almost always win. A good killer player can win the vast majority of their matches in this game on any killer, both because of the matchmaking and also because most of any killer is favoured if the survivors are strangers without coordination and communication.
Personally I would like if C and C+ killers were buffed at base, and S+ and S killers nerfed, such that all fit roughly into a B-A+ range, with the strongest add-ons being able to push most killers into what currently constitutes S-tier strength in this list.

S tier. Do i need to explain?
A tier. So why am i putting spirit so low i can hear already that question being asked. Me personally i see all these killers having more in their kit that spirit has atm. Spirit has gotten her addons nerfed and she is plagued by audio issues. Survivors with headsets and at least common knowledge of going against her can easily tell where she's coming from. I think Wesker is one of the most balanced killers out there and has built in slowdown with the infection. SingleLarry is just annoying nowdays. I don't like how hes able to camp and tunnel easily with his power but thats also what makes him strong. Getting EMPs is slow and wastes a lot of time from survivors. Unknown is ranged + has fast teleports. His hitboxes are quite annoying too. He's balanced and fun killer but also extremely strong if played well. Dracula… I love him i do and i find him way better spirit than spirit is. Chucky. His hitboxes are so broken and he can spam his power, i like him though and find him fun to play.. not so much to against though. HIllbilly.. Delete… i miss the old Billies.. new age Billies i dont enjoy.
B tier for me is killers that if you know how to play them you do some real damage, but if you are newer yeah you most likely are gonna get rolled.
C tier for me is kinda like.. Meh you are all the same kinda i can't put you anywhere else.
D tiar… Well to be honest i wanted to make skull merchant her own tier since i absolutely despise her but i got lazy. I still think she's stronger than any of those 3. Michael needs his OP addons to be strong.

I just put them from the earliest to latest. (didn't put strongest to the left)
Just to add some explanation for some killers:
A tier
Wraith is really in a good position imo.
His add-ons are perfectly designed. One of best hit & run style killers. Utilize most perks very well.
Pinhead is very powerful if you are in degree to expect where cube spawns.
Overall better Clown. His purple add-ons are cracked tbh.
B tier
Pyramid Head excels at tunneling but don't think he's close to A tier. He needs add-on rework.
I think B tier killers are in a good position mostly.
They will be okay with add-on changes or some simple number tweaks.
C tier
Doctor feels better to play with increased movement speed while charging,
Bubba got some buff but they don't feel they escape this tier.
Even if Deathslinger is harder for survivors to avoid than Huntress, he's just weaker version of Huntress.
Sadako was in good position but nerf made her sleep here.
Knight has so many bugs including guards AI. Similar to Sadako he just feels worse version to play as.
Dredge is kinda okay to be in B tier but it doesn't feel powerful except indoor maps.
D tier
What should I say. Killers that will always be in here unless they get complete change?
In terms of strength, I think Freddy is better than other 3.
But his current design is like garbage, except RPB add-ons are worthless, no chasing ability at all if survivor isn't in dream world.
Oh and loses teleport ability whenever generator gets popped. Amazing.
Skull Merchant feels like Ghostface without instadown.
Drones are much easier to not get scanned. It's kinda funny her only power is Undetectable whenever she puts drone.
I don't think devs will forever put her in current state and make better than now but who knows when it will be.
I kinda think Clown could be in B tier after writing all of this.0 -
Same as it's been. Nurse/Blight: S tier. Everyone else: irrelevant tier.

I haven't played a ton of Hag, but I played her a bunch back in day, and again a while back, and my mind has not been changed: she is extremely stressful to play. It's like having your traps disarmed as Trapper, but 2-3 at a time instead of just 1, and you're 110%, so what are you gonna do? Walk over and replace them?
In terms of playing vs survivors who know how to counter her and vs those who don't, she has the biggest difference in power in the whole game. Nobody knows what they're doing? 4k in 5 minutes or less. Everybody knows what they're doing? You would struggle to even get a hook with her.
