    Ghoul and Wesker are the top two killers for their sheer 'pick up and play' style combined with high mobility.

    You see them way more than other killers who are technically 'stronger' and that's why, in my opinion.

    Blight is definitely much better than Ghoul.

    Played at the average level, Kaneki wins no contest

    However, when played at a higher/comp level, I'd say Blight wins

    Idk why people hate ghoul so much he is low A-tier at best, After nerf his antiloop isnt crazy and only thing that stands up on him is his mobility(eaven it still got solid nerf) and his ability to got injuries on survs.

    Blight is deferent kind of animal, people were hating chucky back then for 10 or 12 seconds cooldonw but blight could do the same or eaven better with just 2-3 rushes. Ten second are his all rushes.

    Ghoul is still solid choice for killer if the devs wont nerf him ino oblivion like they somethimes do, but comparing him to blight comon its like night and day.

    I don't think I play at top level, but on average the Blights I face are markedly more oppressive than the Ghouls. So far, anyway.

    Will it still be that way when we get 5K hour Ghouls? Hard to say.

    Obviously Blight. His speed add-ons make him very hard to react to, but then again he needs those add-ons, or else he's slow as crap. I've tested it, and the difference is astounding.

    In third place, you're looking at Hillbilly, Spirit, or Ghoul, and I think Spirit shines the most. She's fast and invisible, so you have to guess where she is and from what direction, and is probably the only 110% killer whose ability actually justifies their base speed.

    Hillbilly is only good when you're facing a master of curving, and those are few and far between. Even then, he needs favorable loops and/or Bamboozle. Basically Leatherface, but with movement. I think he's top 5-7 at best.

    And Ghoul has been way overrated. All this talk of him being uncounterable at loops is not true. If he's going for a "launch in front of you/body block" type move, just move your character to block him from doing that. Whoever has the best planning/reactions wins that interaction; it's not just him who wins it. And when he slides over pallets/windows at you, that's not a guarantee either. You would just get another loop around, except at very specific loops or if your movement was just bad. The easy injures is what Legion does, and nobody considers that OP except noobs.

    But Ghoul is still probably tied for 4th strongest, with Pyramid Head. There's just nothing else like his ability to tunnel someone out once they've stepped in his trail. He still has a pretty slow and clunky ranged attack, but it's just big enough (and the fact it goes through walls) to where it actually cuts chases short. To me, that tunnel potential is more valuable than Ghoul's, who still has to content with DS and other off-the-hook effects.

    I don't really see other candidates than these for top killers. You could argue Hag, or Wesker, or Twins, or Oni (most reasonable choice, but only on PC), but at the end of the day they have glaring weaknesses that are exploitable that the above-mentioned killers don't share.

    Any killers whose power can only injure is not going to be a top 5 killer against skilled opponents.

    #1 Blight

    #2 Nurse

    #3 Billy

    Kaneki is maybe top 5 but definitely not capable of being in top 3.

    On the other hand, i still don't understand illusion of thinking how Nurse is better than Blight

    Blight, Ghoul is much easier to use though.

    Ghoul relies a lot on survivors having poor positioning and awareness. Having to actually loop against no weak links, and with little tools at short loops Kaneki is kinda overrated in the top tiers.

    I'd vote for Blight. I'd say it's easier for weaker survivors to handle Blight too. Kaneki exploits misplays. He's overtuned still but ultimately he relies on people just being lost.
