5/15 Killers are viable in High Rank
Viable Killer
Nurse: The ability has some death zones, but the killer ability work
Spirit: She has problems with sound bugs, but the killer ability work
Billy: The killer ability work
Hag: The killer ability work, but addons are very important
Huntress: The killer ability work, but loops with high walls are a big counter
Non viable Killer
Doctor: The killer ability work, but its not rly strong and the killer player need not much skill
Myers: The killer ability work, but he need much time for it
Leatherface: The killer ability doesnt work, because windows and pallets counter it hard
Legion: The killer ability is 5.0 ms movement speed.............it should be 6.0 ms
Plague: The killer ability work, but survivors can control it
Pig: RBT are RNG and the ambush movement speed is slow, the player cant control the killer ability.
Freddy: The killer ability work, but she hurt the killer player
Trapper: The killer ability doesnt work, because he must put his traps in grass everytime
Wraith: The killer doesnt work, because survivors can still see the killer
Clown: Who?
Killer players should have more control about the killer ability and the ability should work.
All addons should be good and the player should need more skill for the ability.

I don't think you play Killers very much, I'll take my 0 terror radius Myers free yanks and hooks any day. Leatherface is strong because everyone wastes pallets with him, and if they run you around the same pallet, just leave to monitor gens, a Survivor isn't good because they can run around the same place. Trapper is too much M1, Wraith is faster in his cloaked form, his add ons are strong, The Pig can have strong mindgame potential and have great distance covered in chases, I find her fun and strong even still. Hag is doodoo, complete garbage. A Nurse and Billy, the most seen top tier killers are only as good as their player is, Spirits are super strong, fear the Spirit. Hard for me to spin her around but she is powerless with Lightweight and Iron Will, Huntress is eh, you can just avoid her hatchets. Freddy slows the game down, the current Freddy does, like a built in Ruin. They'll spend their time trying to fail a skillcheck or find someone to wake up. You'll find them.
"Hag is doodoo, complete garbage"
I get the feeling this is going to get a decent amount of flack, especially since you started your post with "I don't think you play Killers very much."
Freddy: he will be good when the rework comes to live
Clown: i think he needs more duration of hes bottle and less cooldown of trying to trow bottles and reload more bottles also get rid off the noise that ye makw qhen he vaults a window
Trapper: 2 changes i will put 1 remove the ability to put traps under the door gate and 2 maybe a new mecanic that he can put traps inside the gens survivors that got trapped from hit will be bleeding alot and this makes a new system called bleed out you must heal youreself but any teammate cannot heal him only himself now if that person dont heal he will die survivor will not know if theres a trap in the gen
Wraith: the only buff that i see on him its 1 no noise while its invisible or 2 little increase while hes uncloaking
LF:make so that you dont hold hes power it needs to be similar than billy and maybe a new mecanic each time you fail a hit with chainsaw while youre in a chase he will get angry and he will get buff using hes power he will go more faster and he also get an lunge increase with chaimsaw until a survivor got down that buff will run out
Pig: rework all her addons and it needs to be good also on ambush bar attack needs to be reduced i little bit RBT survivor that have it on will make a noise that are afraid of it panic mode or something also they cannot and see the box until a gen pops up
Plague: when they are vomit mode the gen will not get any progress until someone clean himself also they get aura reading those that have clean themself by 4s
Myers: maybe get rid off hes noise increase a bit fast the stalk at T1 but thats it
Doctor: make the illusion pallet basekit also illusion doc that can see the survivor are they will get an aura reveal by 3s
Legion:the only solution on him its make the stun by 3s and increase the speed using hes power a bit more
I hope you like it
There's only 2 viable killers at the red ranks, which is why it's the only 2 killers you see at those ranks.
unfortunately those 2 killers are completely OP, which tells you something about the balance of the game when the only viable killers are OP.
it's nurse and Billy incase you were curious.
reasons others you mentioned aren't viable
Hag- too slow and easy to counter.
Huntress-although I personally rate a lot of huntress players, she's way too map dependant.
Spirit-she's prolly the power level killers should be, which of course means you can't use her at high ranks as a balanced killer can't win at high ranks, or rather they shouldn't be due to the afore mentioned terribly survivor favoured balance.
P.s pretty sure freddy is male, yes, yes I did just assume gender in 2019, yes I did
Sorry to say but the amount of maps that screw over Huntress is really giving her a rough time at the moment and it only gets worse with each chapter. Even amazing Huntress players like Umbra will DC on maps that aren't suitable for Anna.
She really needs a QoL update and for the poor map design to be fixed.
i disagree with doc. imo doc is a killer with a pretty high skillcap. good doctors can do a lot of work, even in high ranks, while bad docs will get absolutely demolished.
same for trapper... yes, he needs to replace his traps all the time, but they still work decently. okay, hitboxes are a joke, they get out way to easily and they dont count towards the chaser emblem, but besides these things he can do a lot with these traps.
Hag, Billy, and Spirit all depend on the survivors to a degree.
With Spirit, I find that it's possible to for survivors to stall me for slightly too long. You don't have much margin for error because your map pressure is also your chase power and it has to regenerate. But I can have a 4k 2-3 gen game if I play really well.
Hag is exploitable, but she can mitigate some of that by bringing Franklin's or by just not bringing her against a flashlight squad. I do find her to be pretty add-on dependent. That being said, she's the only killer that I'm happy to get Badham or Haddonfield with. She can turn the worst areas of those maps into a slaughterhouse.
Billy is good, but I think he can be a touch overrated. If you get survivors that really understand positioning and safe drop pallets, he can really be gen rushed.
