Will Nurse,Blight,Spirit be top meta forever?
Ever since these killers got released,they always been at the top,will this ever change?
I would like to see periodical meta changes and other killers take the spot of S tier ones with buffs and nerfs.It would keep the game somewhat fresh.
if I had to pick 3 killers to take their place,that would be Clown,Hillbilly and Deathslinger.
What killers you would like to see at the top instead of these 3?

Yet you said they fly on every map yessir
Omggg I missed you! 🤗
Aww thank you! Missed you too! ☺️
but did I say gen speeds weren’t fine???
Oh if you agree that they're not fine then sorry for the confusion but if you disagree then ######### jk lol
*Hits pipe* Alright fellas now hear me out... What if gens COULD fly. 🤯
Something being meta isn't inherently problematic. Nurse/Blight/Spirit are all well-designed and well-balanced (outside of specific add-ons like Alchemist Ring or whatever). It makes no sense to kick them down just for being meta when they are the three best designed and balanced killers in the game.
Honestly I didn't think it was all too confusing to begin with, OP asked a question and I answered it, but then again these are the forums where everyone wants to make everything an argument even if it means blatantly misinterpreting someone else's comment.
Yep I get quick downs and still lose gens. If I need gen defence maybe gen speed isn't fine? Lol
Probably because survivors spawn on gens so yeah they’re likely to pop early.
Even if they don't spawn next to them, they can go to one and hold a button. The point is the objective is simple and lazy so they go fast. Also, tiles and perks make it even worse plus holding w
I honestly don’t consider Spirit meta because I barely see her.
My apologies, I tend to forget that not everyone on the Forums can hold an actual conversation.
I will press the matter no further.
Looping is fun, and you are always able to catch them. It is your task to mindgame and adapt your playstyle depending on the map and available tiles.
I play both sides, btw.
Not true nope lmao. Looping may be fun for survivor but the killer is getting stressed. Knowing the map won't do much when the survivors also know it lmao. How about they fix gen speed, tiles and the game will be more fun? More killers every game? No? Lol
How so?
Come on. OP just talked about some nerfs and you started about gutting the killers.
No one talked about gutting before you. Don't act surprised if that leads to a discussion or if it can be misinterpreted.
Anyway, since a discussion was never your intention, this kinda got pointless. Wouldn't you agree?
Spirits? Haven't see more than 10 after the Stridor nerf.
Also Blights, watch them to go down if they nerf Alch Ring or when they remove the not intented "Hug tech" exploits.
If you mean the addons then i somewhat agree. I really enjoy playing spirit but i never use her strongest addons. I never played with the ring and also never used the addon that gives you killer instinct when within 4 meters (is that the DCB btw?). I almost always run yellow or brown addons on her because that's more of a challenge in my opinion. The ring and the other addon have a downside tho (no scratchmarks) but when you combine these 2 addons i agree that it can be really strong.
But with Blight for example, his alchemist ring addon is one of the strongest addons in the game (in my opinion). It's really really strong and have no downside. I think spirits addons are not OP because they have a downside and spirit is also not as strong as blight (in my opinion).
Because you play NA, yes.
Short and direct answer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-uWXbd_Uc0You aren't supposed to do that with him and thats all. Abusing exploits is not called skill.
As far as spirit is gone now, blight will be the same, as i said, if they fix his exploits and busted addons.
Hug tech is completely and evenly counterable and adds skill-intensive mindgame depth to the chase for both sides. It should be kept regardless.
Nurse - yes. Unless she loses her ability to go through walls, then she'll always be top tier.
Blight - he might drop a little if they nerf his add-ons, but he'll still be a very high tier killer.
Spirit - pretty much. Even the nerf she got hasn't stopped her from being a killing machine.
I don't think spirit is too strong. Yes, some of her addons are really strong but she also have some trash addons. I hope they slightly nerf her strongest addons and buff or rework her really bad ones. After her nerf she has become easier to play against and also harder to play. I don't see as much spirits as before her nerf and you can if you have a good headset you can hear (almost) exactly where she is.
Maybe you’ll come across me if youre in my region :)
The day Clown becomes a Top Tier, is also the day I stop playing DBD lmao
I never said "too strong." Top tier/meta =/= too strong.
Welcome back, #1 Spirit Enjoyer.
Hello friend :)
I mostly play killer atm but i still play survivor if the queue isn't like 10 min.😂😭
Im on EU.😄
The top tier killers are there due to their travel time time and loop denial. We could get a 4th if sadako proves she can shut down survivors tools but i dont think so. I also feel like Legion couldve been S tier if he was able able to down or his bleed out timer was alot shorter he just doesnt quite hold a candle there so he looses. Twins is one killer ive felt is highly oppressive but takes sooo much practice to play well and is still one of the hardest killers to play as just like blight. Vic just needs a but more help I honestly wish victor could leap automatically to other survivors if they are in close prox but smart players move away from the crowd so it shuts down their exposure.
Well I’m East NA so RIP.
Oof, well maybe not then. xD
Yes they will always be top, and it will stay that way until some drastic game changing thing is done which won't.
Personally, I don't see that as a problem. In almost every PvP game, there will always be a "best" thing to do or use, and it very rarely changes unless new things that are even stronger are added, or again, they change the entire game. People also seem to forget the game is almost 6 years old. Sorry you got to the party late lol
The game would not be fresh and better if Clown or Deathslinger were top tier. There are certain killers that are prepped for top tier gameplay for a reason, and some are not built for it. Unless clown and deathslinger were completely reworked to not be even slightly the same, then maybe. But that won't happen either lol.
That doesn't mean I don't want to see some weaker killers buffed, but the truth is that some killers won't ever be S tier, let alone A tier, without being incredibly horrible designs. Some killers are already hated and badly designed while still being B or lower tier.
Please, balance, interactive gameplay, good design, etc are all things that go into the game. Nurse, Spirit, and Blight are top tier because they have an incredibly fast and powerful map presence, with strong map pressure and chase potential from that (which is not only strong but ALSO interactive and skillful for both sides). That is why they are top. Killers that walk and press m2 to get injure don't exactly promote interactive and fun chases, which is why they usually always have big downsides and are always hard stuck mid or lower tier
Apology accepted.
Apparently I'm wrong.
probably yes....but they are TOP because maps are terrible design. Nurse / Blight / Spirit are the only viable killers at high MMR
Nurse will always be at the top because she's broken. Spirit is definitely not top 3 anymore. Blight, I consider not to be on Nurse's level. So basically only Nurse is S tier. Blight is 2nd strongest in A tier, and Spirit I don't know where to place. B tier? C tier? Definitely only A tier with her best pink/purple add-ons.
This thread is, in all honesty, a hellhole.
Pretty much. Nurse and Spirit basically have powers that if they nerf anymore they plummet to F tier. Nurse is particularly iffy as due to her slower than surivivor status if you increase blink charge time or blink range pretty small amounts will have a huge impact on her as a whole. Spirit is one of the few killers in the game with a HARD counter even if it is in the form of a perk so balancing spirit kinda falls into 2 categories, balancing her around perkless survivors or balancing her around survivors who run iron will as commonly as iron will is run. I would argue spirit is the only killer with a hard counter perk/item where the perk or item is really considered viable and worth the slot. Maybe an arguement could be made for spinechill and myers/gf but compare it to say trapper where he does have a hard counter but lets be real when was the last time you saw someone run a map seriously and not for some cleans every goddamn totem on the map build? Hag and flashlights is a bit simalar but flashlights are generally regarded as pretty bad but at least they see play because most survivors think they are fun. Blight just a lot of people (me included) don't see as a big issue he has counterplay and is pretty fun to play against imo.
TL;DR
Nurse nerfs have a risk of making her absolutely terrible due to her movement speed and the very nature of her power will always sound strong
Spirit blancing around IW vs no IW makes it harder to balance her than most killers
Blight a lot of people dont see as an issue
Spirit is most definitely still top 3.
Acredito que a Enfermeira sair do top 1 vai ser ruim para o jogo, pois se os sobreviventes já choram pra ela, imagina se alguém a superar. Mas Spirit e Blight podem sair desse ranking
yeah that’s what I’m saying. It turns the game into a 50/50 most of the time, unless of a free hit for the blight, but it’s high risk high reward be you can go into cd
How can you say that? Unless you're using Dried Cherry Blossom/Mother-Daughter Ring? And honestly those add-ons don't need the scratch marks taken away.
When I made this thread I expected to see who people would like to see as a meta killers in their place.
You’re talking about the add on combo that promotes lazy gameplay? It isn’t even like the combo boosts her strength that much a couple of tiers up, it’s just there to teach new Spirit players bad habits and rely on the combo too much. So, please don’t encourage people who want to get into Spirit to use those add ons when they’re learning her.
Base Spirit still moves 176% in her power, is still invisible, and has a long lunge out of her power. She’s still very strong. I play her more than twice as much as any other killer combined trust me.
