I like how Nurse and Billy are still number 1 played killers

Even after a long needed patch and with freddy, pig and leatherface sitting at the bottom the devs smiled and kept it that way :)

    Oh?
    You got a link for me to check?

    Nurse needs a huge nerf or a rework though, hillbilly might need some small nerfs because if you compare his skillcap to the nurse and his rewards for it, its too low of a skillcap and reward is too high

    They're the only viable Killers when Survivors play perfectly, so people who play competitively flock to them. The Nurse in particular only wins when the Survivors are worse than the person playing her.

    Nerf the two most viable Killers?

    I'd like to see the source of your findings. They sound interesting!

    Remove the only viable killers from highrank and you will enjoy the result

    One completely ignores all the game mechanics and the other is busted with add-ons and can be ran for 5 gens (which I see happen quite often). The devs have made it so I can drool on the keyboard and get a 4-man now. I am enjoying the killer experience, the game should have been like this before and not have the nurse exist and we would all be a happy bunch.

    Nurse still needs to piss off though, you can't outplay a good one, especially one that runs whispers/bbq+c/nurses/whatever.. you're hope is that they make a mistake. And at rank 1 they always run add-ons that give her the faster blinks and you cannot juke fast enough to dodge her massive friggin cleave. Your hope is the shoddy auto-aim makes her hit a tree or a stack of tires because there is no outplaying a good nurse. She needs to not exist in this game. I have never ever seen a good nurse being run for more than like 30 seconds.

    They need to buff the other killers. They are useless. Waste of money and design. People must be scared of the all killers not only the nurse.

    Going to use a made-up percentage to make this make sense. Nurse is 100% viable at all levels, Billy is 95%.

    What they need to do is make all other killers at least 90%. That makes them viable at all levels, not OP and gives a full roster of variety at all play levels.

    I will add that this may require some tweaks to survivors to ensure it's not a 4k fest but I'm ok with that if I can use any killer and not feel like I start out at a disadvantage.

    This. The developers themselves even confirmed on stream that they don't make all killers to be viable.
    That's some freaking bizarre design philosophy coming from a company that's trying to have a competitive game and even tried going Esport..

    Can people stop complaining about who is on top. As with any game you will see the best at the top tiers of plays. There's characters that people who want to win with the best win chance will pick, and that's the best characters. Smash has bayo, tekken has dragonov and devil jin. No matter what, if stats and power/moves are different there will be some timeless bests out there in many other games too.

    For major competitive games such as 1v1 fighters or brawl games, sure, your statement is very true. Many people will not reach that high powered play in those games, so the majority of the player base won’t even have to worry about that.  In a game like dead by daylight, however, where most people are not “hardcore”, that statement loses some of its validity.

    All people are wanting is for other killers to have a better shot at performing better at the higher ranks. You could be the best killer in the world, but if your killer choice has abilities that seriously throttle your skill, that’s a problem. We are asking for more than just hillbilly and nurse. We want greater choice, not to be pidgeonholed into those two killers.
