Most balanced killers in your opinion?

Nurse. Billy.

Overall it's a really difficult question.

Nurse and Billy are ruled out off the bat, a lot of their abilities take survivor skill right off the table, like "oh boy you heard a chainsaw and hid on the West side of an object when you should have used magic powers and guessed to hide on the North side, EZ HOOK."

Legion, Freddy, Cannibal, Wraith, Clown, and Doctor all certainly lack enough to consistently control a game, whether it be map pressure, control over chases etc. Pig is decent but I would say her complete lack of useful add ons with a cookie cutter build shows that she has some fundamental flaws, not to mention the loss of her end game viability. I would put Trapper as currently one of the worst killers in the game, his power is FAR too in the hands of survivors, has too many built in counters, despite an add on rework he still has NECESSARY add ons, and requires huge set up time that the game simply doesn't allow.

Spirit, Myers and Huntress are all top contenders. Their base kits are strong and can easily net plenty of kills, though unlike Nurse and Billy, come with significant yet reasonable drawbacks. The only reason these 3 aren't up there is because they all possess what I would consider game-breaking add ons. Prayer Beads remove almost all survivor counterplay, and getting grabs before anyone in the match can even see the killer is a Spirit is laughable. Being able to mori someone as the potential first "hit" of a match, also potentially when they gave you 0 evil, and VERY early in the match in the case of Tombstone Piece + faster stalking is the furthest thing from balanced in this game. And Iridescent heads is permanent exposed status for essentially landing what is Huntresses basic attack.

In my eyes, it'd be Hag. She possesses map pressure, a power that affects chasing, reduced movement speed to make up for some of her significant strengths, and survivor-based counterplay to her power. Some of her add ons are pretty crap, and some have been bugged for months on end, but almost all of her common to rares are useful to a degree, and Mint Rag is incredibly strong used well, but not outright broken. She is fun, creates a distinct and unique game for survivors, and isn't a guaranteed win nor loss. Most importantly, she allows for many skill based plays on both sides.

If they removed the extra blink addons then the Nurse would be the most balanced killer in the game.

Wraith, Billy and Hag.

@PeepingPeacock Spirit and Huntress do not rely on addons. Idk about Hag but I suspect she doesn't either.

I'd say the most balanced Killers should meet these criteria...

• They must average 2 kills on the highest rank.
• They must not rely on Add-ons to achieve this average.
• Their Add-ons mustn't boost them to consistently gain all kills, but having them shake up the average kill count is definitely not bad. (This is assuming the Survivors don't run Items & Perks btw.)

Yes, i count Add-ons in their criteria. It's part of their power after all.

I don't count Perks. They're FAR too special to just apply a criteria or 2, i'd have to determine those Perk by Perk, which i really don't feel like doing right now.

Nurse without OMEGABLINKS and multiple blinks with no done side.

myers. huntress and spirit.

billy is easy and requires no skill at all. just QE controls but he has some counterplays. which he can pretty much avoid them by running enduring. spirit fury and bamboozle. may deserve a bit of nerfs to balance him around

nurse. took me 4 games of getting rekted to ground by survivors to master her. and basically if you wanna win against her. you'll have to pray to god that the nurse you're facing isn't a skilled player.

all killers wait for survivors to do mistakes (mindgaming) and letting them pay for their mistake. while in the other hand. the nurse has no counterplay at all. the survivor will just hope that the nurse will do mistakes in order to survive 10 seconds longer. i played a nurse game against a full coordinated SWF team. and i manged to slug them all under 2 minutes. because i had no mistakes.

Spirit(non-bugged), Hag, Myers, Huntress and (possibly) Clown. Are the most "balanced" Killers imo right now. In terms of Killer vs Killer strength.

Nurse and Billy are on the stronger end, but this is where I feel Behaviour should be aiming when balancing all Killers. In regards to game balance I would say these two are most balanced. Hag and pre-bugged Spirit are close though.

The others are either just weak (Leatherface), unfun to play against (Doctor[imo], Legion), they rely way to much on Survivor interaction/knowledge (Wraith, Plague), or they are too slow in the set-up (Trapper). Obviously this is my opinion and Killers fall into multiple groups but I feel these are their strongest characteristics.

And then there is Freddy. Who falls into all the categories and does nothing to make up for it.

Billy: is quite powerful and quite effective if you know how to use him but he's not so crazy then a good Billy would oppress survivors like nurse

Tricky question, on one hand I'd say hillbilly since he's balanced in terms of high level play against survivors as he can play without ruin and hold down the game but has still has counterplay. Gen rushing still crushes most killers and if it wasn't so bad I'd say Clown/Myers/Plague are the most balanced.

I find Hag/Spirit/Nurse pretty oppressive as survivor with not much meaningful counter play. Huntress can also destroy but has counterplay and would be better off with some help with map dependency/speed

Billy is the perfect killer. Overwhelmingly powerful in one area, but still 100% beatable.
