Killers that are only good for exploiting broken mechanics

People sometimes forget that a lot of what makes many Killers strong is exploiting mechanics in a way that probably wasn't part of the Devs original design concept.

Hag/Twins- Using your power to essentially face camp while multitasking the other Survivors.

Spirit- Standing still for free hits because Survivors can't tell when you're using your power.

Pyramid Head- Using your power to tunnel through Decisive. Using power to hit both Survivors on unhooks.

Demo/Pig- Exploiting the "basic attack" mechanic to have permanent 8 stacks on STBL.

Huntress- Hitting Survivors with close range hatchets because the cooldown is less than a standard M1.

Wraith- Using your hitbox mechanics in cloak to push Survivors into corners or out of pallet dropping range.

Ghost Face- Using the broken stealth reveal mechanics to expose Survivors that are looking directly at you.

Any others you can think of? It's funny that all these exploits of Killers were probably complete oversights by the Devs originally and they slowly just became "features" that were part of their overall balance. Remove most of these things and a lot of these Killers would become trash tier.

    ghost face aint broken, thats his design and most people just call it bugged so they have something else to blame for them failing to realize ghost face had good positioning.

    33% of ghost face needs to be visible and in a certain range to break him; which rewards the killer when they position well in a way that they can stalk without being revealed. If you need to break him oit move in range or in a circle around him to expose more of him.

    Its not a bug, thats his design. Im yet to encounter this "broken" behaviour except when hes legitimately positioned in a way to stop it.
