I can already tell the houndmaster is awful

Had a few games with the houndmaster. Clunky to use, the chase ability is way too slow and practically useless. The search ability is pretty fun with the speed boost, but also very clunky and barely usable in chases. Besided all that the dog is buggy and even in my first two games it got stuck on walls and stuff multiple times. In my opinion right now she is not more than low B-Tier and in most cases just an m1 killer that can run from gen to gen a little faster. At least there is a dog now and i like dogs.

    You could already tell in the PTB and somehow they made it worse in the live version.

    Not played her yet but watched a few streamers.

    The dog has serious issues but at least it's fast unlike the wolf in dracula that's about as quick as a hippo stuck in mud.

    Looking forward to trying her out and laughing at seeing how bad she actually is.

    I'm surprised how high my fellow doubters put these garbage killers. If a killer is awful, wouldn't they be D tier? My tier list is unique though. I pretty much just include S, A, and D tiers, because nothing else matters. You're either viable Nurse/Blight, you're an almost-viable killer, or you're a garbage killer. Basically anyone but Nurse/Blight gets beat by half-decent survivors, because their objective is so fast. If you're just talking about bad survivors, well then every killer is viable, even Nerf Merchant. But I'd put Houndmaster in that solid D tier: practically useless.
