Easy - Wraith, Leatherface, Trickster, Michael, Freddy, Legion, Clown

Hard - Nurse, Oni, Blight, Twins, Pinhead
I would rather they describe killers with a brief description of how the power works. Mobile / Stationary power usage (Blight / Nemesis, for example) as well as Semi-Chaser / Chaser / Stealth / Trap set / Unique killers (Doctor / Oni / Michael / Hag / Twins). This could give players a greater idea of how their power will function prior to playing them.
For example. Blight = Mobile Chaser || Doctor = Stationary Semi-Chaser || Wraith = Mobile Stealth || Freddy = Mobile Trap set || Pinhead = Stationary Unique
I agree. Even leaving basic tips on how to use the killer's power is good as well.
The only killer I can truly vouch for is Trickster. While his kit is technically "easy" he's a lot harder to perform well at than it leads on.
Freddy is Hard? Billy is Easy?
Yeah, right. The Spammy McSpamPort is harder than a killer who's played so little people have been begging the Devs to buff him just so they can see him again.
I think the difficulties are maybe describing how hard it is to understand the principle of how the killer's power works, and not how hard they are to play once you understand. So, Trapper puts down traps -- easy. Pig also has traps, but there are more complicated rules about how you use them and also she has a stealth power and a dash -- intermediate. The Twins have to switch back and forth between two different characters with different abilities -- hard.
So, from the POV of letting new players know how easy it's going to be to just pick up the killer and intuit what they do, the easy/intermediate/hard thing seems fair. But it's also kind of misleading.
Remember console players are more than PC players
And trickster is the hardest killer on console
I dont know why they thought Myers was hard
"Easy killers - Trapper"
HMMMM, i dont think the worst killer in the game is easy to play...
Easy: Bubba, Trickster, Clown, Wraith, Legion
Intermediate: Huntress, Hag, Pig, Plague, Demogorgon, Deathslinger, Nemesis, Doctor, Hillbilly, Trapper
Hard: Nurse, Myers, Freddy, Spirit, Ghostface, Oni, Blight, Twins, Pinhead, Pyramid Head
For the most part its good, some killers are harder or easier than it says tho. I still don't understand why Pyramid Head is intermediate. For me, he was super hard to learn and handle
Honestly a Hard-Easy scale would never work because playing killer has multiple levels to it.
For example playing Blight requires a lot more practice with his power than playing Pig, but you need to have a better game sense to play Pig well from using her traps to using her stealth effectively. Blight doesn't need as much game sense because you have the ability to gain information and end chases quickly with good use of his power. So I wouldn't be able to compare their difficulties since they are difficult in very different ways.
