Nobody likes the unique killers yet people complain that we aren't getting unique killers
I find is really disappointing that we haven't really gotten any unique killers as of late. To put it into perspective the last non-ranged / dashslop killer we got was THE SINGULARITY WHICH WAS 2023. Now dont get me wrong I love playing literally every killer in this game they are all really fun in their own way. But I find it really confusing how people are constantly complaining about oh its dashslop again even though they don't play the unique killers..? List of 10 unique killers (excludes trap/stealth) in my opinion goes as follows:
- Doctor
- Freddy
- Plague
- Twins
- Sadako
- Dredge
- Knight
- Skully
- Singularry
- Vecna
Every other killer (excluding stealth & setup didn't include them) includes the so called dashslop or rangeslop or straightup COPIES of other killers powers. And for some reason these extremely fun killers with powers that quite literally very few other killers are like are literally never played like this is literally a list of the least played killers. 5/10 of these killers are in A tier or the very top of B tier too which to me baffling that nobody plays them because they supposedly want a break from so called slop yet many of these people haven't even tried these killers.
It doesn't help that people hate playing against the majority of the list which literally makes BHVR want to make unique killers even less. While yes this is a topic that has been brought up multiple times already I just find it annoying how the many people I hear complaining about this so called slop only play with slop and nothing else.
Apologies if the rant was incoherent or not structured properly I did not want to spend a whole lot of time writing this compared to my other posts

My fellow fog creature, i take any fresh air over the sewage drain of ghouls i have to endure everytime i play survivor.
Had one Ghoul in my last 24 survivors matches most killer I got is Mastermind with three.
and about the original topic. People don't know what they want resulting them to complain to get what they want and then complain the opposite.
The community voted chapter is a big example. For survivor they voted for something they don't want to use, just something we don't have alredy, so they want something unique but don't want to use it. For killer they voted for something unique but made sure the power was basic antiloop cuz thats what theyd want to play lol
Five of these killers are in my top 5 most played (I would say 6 if you count Micheal, because I only played him with Tombstone or Scratched Mirror) so I personally do play them, but some of these I just genuinely hate their kits. Original or A tier doesn't mean enjoyable. I cannot even fathom actually playing Twins. I don't want to win that much.
One thing that kinda bothers me the same way is the tier list itself. Like a killer comes to the ptb, and the first thing the community does is try to grade it, then complain if its under A tier, or complain that its S tier and needs nerfs. So their entire development process of new killers is it has to be real strong so we can nerf tweak it back to A tier.
Rather than just developing a killer based off unique ideas for gameplay, its gotta satisfy the tier list first.
I thought the power of the community voted killer looked pretty unique. Having to control the projectile while it's being sent out. Unless the power has changed and isn't that what I think it is anymore.
It is unique i just meant the community has also alredy called it range slop or antiloop slop or henry 2.0 and stuff when they showed the first videos of it. The obstacle course thing will certainly be different as the first new survivor objectives in a long time.
Ah ok. I mean anti-loop can be a lot of things, and killers kind of need some form of anti-loop in this game, at least in most cases. So I for one am quite excited for that killer.
Im excited to see how they make the multiple legs work lol
But also remember the community voted for a straight firing continuous beam which sounded pretty busted, they made it and went "yea this is kinda busted so how about this kinda beam instead?"
I like them. In fact, I mained two of them for almost 6 years now. Sadako ever since she released and Pig roughly a month after I started playing.
I don't like the new breed of killers that are basically made by ticking boxes.
Sadly this is what people want. Just look at how popular streamers praised the Myers rework despite it heavily hurting his identity in regard to gameplay.
Few people care for as long as they are winning, and a majority of the newer killers make winning a lot easier.
I've been shouting for years at this point that I'm sick of dash and projectile killers and want more unique ones. More stealth/invisibility killers, more trap killers, more macro killers. Dash and projectile killers are the most mind-numbingly boring killers to both play and play against.
Funny how you quite literally have been shouting for years as its been 3 since we got a non dash or ranger kiiller
Oh ok that I didn't know. I think I really need to check out what her current power looks like.
If the community despises the Grimore Killer - as they probably will, as it is a hard to play and hard to counter M2 killer - will be the most ironic thing ever. The community chose something they clearly don't like and will complain about.
there is truely unique killer powers anymore, its just a massive recycling plant of high mobility/Antiloop/ ranged projectile. Dracula is the definition of recycled, you put Pyramid head, Spirit, and a splash of blight and get dracula.
I mean, the thing people think they want often differs from what they actually want.
For an outsider, it's near-impossible to tell without a ton of experience, though.
