The true M1-Killer
Which killer should i play to experience how it is to rely only on M1?
Sure there are some killer, which are M1-killer when i dont use my power, but survivor will act differently because they know i could use my power.
For example they will not drop down a pallet against legion bc he can injure for free anyway. (Ok most of the survivor drop it)
I think the best choice would be wraith or the twins.
But with Wraith they could be paranoid when they dont see me bc i could be invisible.
Play survivor differently against the twins before victor is used?
Have you a better suggestion?

Probably Legion, Myers or Plague. Those three have to very heavily rely on the m1 chase in order to get downs.
Legion
His just a M1 killer. No ability to help in chases. No stealth unlike Ghostface that can help with mindgames. His power is to injure survivors and thats about it.
If you want to play as a pure M1 killer then Legion is probaly your only option
The most pure m1 killer is trapper since his power is situational.
You can't expect your traps not to get disarmed or even for a majority of your chases to result in them stepping in a trap without some insane favor from the goddess of luck. that makes him a pure m1 killer for a large majority of the chases in a match which is why he is considered weak.
Wraith gets free hits often and can use his power to uncloak at small loops so he isn't a true killer without a power.
The twins while they can be a pure m1 killer for 50 seconds at a time they aren't like that for the majority of the match so i wouldn't consider them a pure m1 killer.
edit: good survivors vs trappers look at the loops near the gen they will work on ahead of time to make sure there are no traps so until they go to a area they haven't checked and there's a trap there you are literally a pure m1 killer.
But i get an easier first hit because good players dont want to waste a pallet when they are healthy against legion.
That’s pretty much why Trapper doesn’t fit OP‘s description: the survivors play differently when versing a trapper, they check areas, are cautious in specific locations like shack and loop differently which may benefit the killer.
OP is looking for a killer where he only uses M1 and the survivors don’t act differently, so Wraith would fit better since he wouldn’t cloak himself at all.
Myers: people will try to avoid stalk in loops and i have a different early game with a M1-Killer
Plague: could be working, but i think survivor will loop differently bc they think i will infect them
then a bunch of killers could do that just play a 115% killer that doesn't have an insta down or ranged power.
i guess i didn't read the post well since i talked about the killer that is the most standard m1 killer in terms of chases and how little his power impacts them against good survivors being alert. like even legion and plagues powers help out in chases by giving you injured survivors easily.
Maybe Doc fits this description?
if you never use your power the survs won’t really act differently just because you are a doc that could use your power. MAYBE they hide more often in lockers when in TR but not in chase..
...you know you could just play Wraith or Legion without ever using your power if you really really wanted to have a pure M1 experience right?
Edit: you already thought of that. But Legion would be your best bet, you don't play differently against a Legion no matter what, he's as basic as they come.
Could be working. Im a little bit sceptical, bc Doc has a chase power. But you are right, they would see in advance that im using shock therapy. So when i never try to use it, they will not be affected in their decisions.
Pig is another candidate, chases are pretty much not affected if you don’t go into Stealth-mode.
and outside of chases survivors may look around a little paranoid because you could be hiding terror radius, but it’s not as extreme as with GF or Wraith I think.
So to put it bluntly, you want to have a completely unrealistic experience that will never play out the way you want because no matter what you will always uncover a flaw because, in DbD, no killer relies exclusively on the m1 chase to find, hit, follow up, and down every single survivor every time you find them in ever single trial.
The most m1 killers there are are Legion, Plague and Myers. They rely exclusively on the m1 chase to down people and are as realistically m1 as killers get.
Stalkless Ghostface.
That's easy. Play Wraith and do not ever cloak. It doesn't get more pure M1 than that. The survivors won't be influenced in looping differently if you don't even tap m2. At worst, they'll just be very careful when they're on gens once they know you're a stealth killer. And that will not really do anything, because they'll just simply hear your TR anyway.
Plague's infect will only injure them, you have to down with an M1 when they don't cleanse.
Not to mention, it's much better to just start infecting and then injure them yourself with your basic attack. Better than trying to waste time fully infecting a single survivor who is dodging/looping.
Wraith, Myers, Ghostface, Legion.
Legion rn, his power doesn't work.
Arguably between Legion and GhostFace, however I'd say Legion more as you can do more damage with GhostFace
You could just play man with machete mode. Trapper with no traps.
I know how to play plague. Thats not the point. I want to play a killer without his power helping me. It may sound stupid, but i want to do it.
I know that its unrealistic. But i dont want to use the power and see the results.
Good point. ;)
Use Wraith. Never cloak and since they don't have to fear an uncloaked Wraith it's gonna be a hard M1 Killer. Also, he is tall which makes mindgaming harder.
