There are no weak killers. Killrate of any killer is solid. The game is still massively kiler-sided and is balanced a lot around m1 activity. Bloodlust, a lot of dead zones, lack of good or fair pallets make game still feels good, absolutely viable and a lot of times even easy as m1 killer. Basically all this mobility, anti-loop etc are just extra and over-on-top mechanics to make killer easy and overpoweringly fun. A lot of killer crutches - camping, tunneling, 3genning aren't fixed yet. You can succeed with any killer. "Weak killer" became just a meaningless buzzword. Important to note that you have option to not play "weak" killers

Sadako was revealed to have a sliiiiightly above average kill rate last time, though. At least in top MMR. She apparently wrecked shop in overall MMR.
Sometimes perception doesn't quite line up with reality. That can make it difficulty to identify which killers need buffs, and what buffs they need.

Ah yes killrates the most accurate of measuring tools.

Maybe because I am surv main and if I can do it, so can most killers?
Also as stated before - what does it matter that first 2 gens get completed before first hook? The end result of 4k is the thing that counts. Right now killer's average kill rate is above 50%, so why should there be any need to buff killers even more (do you really need to 4k at 5 gens to feel good? Doesn't normal 3-4k suffice?)

If you're a surv main you are very likely going against babies and your killrates again mean jack #########. I also didnt say killers as a whole needed a buff, where did I ever say that? some individual killers need some love but that's not what we're talking about. Lethal as a whole is perfectly fine as it is. Decreasing its starting duration would only hurt low mobility killers which already tend to be the weaker killers.

I'm not sure I'm following your point, sorry.
He is the first killer. We can't go back in time and make it Wraith. Unless you're referring to him being the onboarding killer for new players, in which case... nah, I disagree. Wraith is stronger, but you don't need strength for an onboarding killer, you need simplicity and lack of insane mechanical requirements. I'm not saying Wraith doesn't fit those criteria, but Trapper fits them more.
Nothing forces a player to not immediately buy a DLC and start playing someone else, but if they do start with the killer on the box art, the killer in the tutorial, and the killer that is listed first in their roster, they get a simple killer with an understandable power that pushes them to learn not only map awareness but also M1 chase fundamentals too. I think Trapper is a good first pick.

What else is more simple then wraith's kit? I'd 100% say trapper is a worse onboarding killer because I played wraith first then switched to trapper and wondered where would good places to place my trap were and did significantly worse because i was just walking around placing traps not actually chasing survivors.

IDK. Most of my games I have 2 hooks before first gen pops (but usually 2 gens pop at the same time) - this is most common scenario thanks to 6.1 buffs of extra 10s (but your version also happens from time to time).
Also. First 2-3 gens don't matter. I could have 0 hooks by the time first 4 gens pop - if I can comeback then (or even after all the gens pop), then it's still 4K

okay and? do you think that's even the majority of killers experience? I dont understand why you think flexing your big strong killer skills in anyways helps anyone.

Rework no, slight changes yes.
As the devs themselves pointed out in the Reddit AMA, there's a lot of value in Trapper remaining as simple and straightforward as he currently is, because he's the very first killer players have in their roster when they get the game and he's easy to pick up, mechanically speaking. Plus, there's something to be said for keeping him the way he is just as a preservation of history- though to be fair he has been changed noticeably a few times.
He definitely shouldn't get all his traps on him at the start of the match, that's a massively bad idea, but there's plenty that can be done to help him out while retaining his current identity and feel. A big one would be adjusting where his traps spawn at the start of a match, so he doesn't have to go all the way to the other side of the map to get all of his power, but they could also look at things like setting speed, trap colouration, basekit punishment for stepping in a trap while injured...
We do know he's getting a small update, at least. So, at least some of these things could be addressed sometime soonish.

Trapper is a horrible 1st killer honestly. Sure he isn't technically complex but you need a massive amount of map knowledge to actually use him effectively. Wraith is significantly better 1st killer. So that argument is kinda terrible honestly.

My issue with Wesker isn't due to his design or his balance, overall he's a great killer for all the reasons you've just listed.
My issue is that it's Wesker after Wesker after Wesker and it is so deflating

If you are depending on a perk to win, then the problem is in adjusting the game, the perk is problematic, yes, I need to use distortion in every game I play, and on top of that I need to take care of another surv that does not have the perk me to chase
I totally agree that killers need to be stronger to face SWF, but what annoys me is that all the buffs that devs give to killers is just to beat players who are already weak, look at my case, just today out of eight matches that I played, only one came out alive, the others or only one survived, or it was 4 kills
If DBD is survivor sided as you say, then I was sold the wrong game, because in the games I play, the killer wins the most

The problem isn't the "genrush meta" the problem is map design and survivors spawning on 4 different corners of a map which basically garuntees you lose 2 gens before you get 1 hook. Losing 2 gens is anything but unwinnable but it makes the rest of the match much more stressful

WHY is a killer allowed to eliminate someone from a game without ever hooking anyone else? Do you think I enjoyed this match? Do you think people who get hardcore tunneled out of the game like this enjoy the match? I didn't even get the chance to heal myself when unhooked, because guess who was coming right back to the hook... It's too easy for the killer, because they only have to deal with 1 health state of the freshly unhooked, injured survivor.
We should not be forced to run DS (which is bad perk right now), or Off the Record, just for a chance to be able to play a match for long enough. I want to run perks that I want to run.
The first unhooked survivor should be granted invulnerability (1 occurence per match) until another survivor is hooked. There is no excuse for this atrocious bullying to be allowed in game and to go unpunished. This killer fortunately sucked, so other 3 people escaped. But in most of the cases, the killer gets a 4K, because after 1 person is erased from the game, the rest of the game is EASY for the killer.
The game should not award the killer for relentlessly harassing 1 survivor. Why is this still allowed in 2023??? Hello???

I've yet to hear a viable solution to this problem that 1.hasn't already been implemented 2. wont impact normal gameplay 3. is fairly easy to do because bhvr is lazy and wont do anything major

the blame is on BHVR for not actually doing anything about it. They absolutely are able to do something about it they just won’t. Whether out of laziness or whether they just don’t care, who knows? Or maybe this is the way they want their game to be a toxic, miserable dumpster fire, and therefore they don’t care. As long as people continue to be masochists who keep coming back no matter how terrible it is, they’re getting their money so they have no incentive to give a ######### .

I mostly just think they're too inept to know how to fix most of the problems in this game in a way that actually fixes the problems. Like map design has only gotten significantly worse over the years and most of the maps I like were year 1 maps. But thats why I dont really play anymore in hopes theyll fire some idiots at the top and stop firing and rehiring devs and losing all their experience and make a new mode finally. I still have some hope that this game will go in a direction that makes me actually want to play

What can the other survivor do if killer is either on top of me, or found Leon? You tell me.
Plus Leon got me up and killer just hit me as soon as my animation getting up finished.
Do you have something better to do in that case?

At that point if there are 2 down 1 dead and the other being chased you've already lost the game. You dont deserve to win at that point.

Its insane it doesnt Matter how fast ur chases when Survivors doing Gens u are going to lose whit just 1k because the Gens are way to fast
i hv so many Game where i end a chase in like 20s and still just get 1k at the end because the Gen speed is to fast if u are not Blight or Nurse ( and maybe Spirit or Wesker ) u cant hold the Gens because of the awful Map Design
Map Design is the biggest Problem of the Game but since it is impossible to Balance all Maps they need to do something about Gens
How to fix Gen Speed
- Nerf Toolboxes Gen Progression
- Nerf Prove Thyself
- maybe make a weaker Version of Corrupted Basekit
- Buff Base Gen Regression
- nerf MFT ( it doesnt do something about Gen Speed but it extend a Chase way to long u can hold a M1 Killer 4 ever on a Strong loop )
Plz BHVR do something against Gen Speed
U nerfed the best Gen Regression Perk because the Gen kicking Meta was unfun but didnt nerf the Gen Speed, the Healing nerf was a good Idea because it would have give Killer way much more time but sadly the nerf got reverted and Killers didnt got anything
im watching a German Streamer who plays in a 4 SwF Group and they alway escabe where the Killers just have like 4 Hooks or just 1k is this how the Game should be in High Rank ?

Gen speed itself is fine. There are some problems around it though. Map design is the biggest by far. If they shrunk a lot of maps and reduced clutter then even killers without mobility powers would be able to actually spread pressure better. Also if I'm being honest you probably just arent very good at spreading preasure. Work on managing your time better, recognizing strong tiles and keeping track of gens progress. Developing game sense to predict what gens are gonna be done next will help immensely. The game has a lot of balance issues but theres also a ton you can do yourself to improve at this game even with the lower tier killers.

in When will BHVR do something about Gen Speed ? Comment by gilgamer June 25, 2023

Hate to be the one to say it but "skill issue". That said the reason you're probably running into a higher average skill level because veteran players that dont play as often are more likely to come back during events as well as people trying a little harder during event. I've been a firm believer that events are the worst times to play the game honestly
