    Sadly all of the low tier killers need buffs (Dredge, Trapper, Legion, Skull Merchant, Hag, Ghost Face) but BHVR doesnt seem to care about those, so realistically, I wouldnt get my hopes up

    TBH as a Dredge main I don't think he needs that significant of buffs; the add-on changes are what are really needed. I basically run Doll + Recorder every single game because everything else sucks.

    Looking at locker density would go a long way to help as well. So many killers get their unique interactables scattered throughout the map, I don't think it would be particularly difficult to do the same thing for additional lockers when it's Dredge. I really struggle on maps like Coldwind, Shelter Woods, and The Game because lockers just don't exist in half the map.

    Anyways, nice write up. In particular I'd love to see us finally get some Iri add-ons that actually do something. :P
