The new killer looks great, seems balanced enough, would probably change him to 115% to make him perfect
Edit: new killer can completely negate killer shack

He will be top tier in some people's hands and bottom tier in other people's hands. Just like every other killer
Exactly, he looks good and fun, I dontrelle see why people are calling him worse than Oni. He's a Huntress with more pressure cause of DW.
I think he has less pressure because his ranged attack doesn't give him a down and has a limited range.
Small terror radious. Use monitor and it's 16m. Free first hit chained into a down with his power. How is that not atleast high mid tier?
The reason people arent saying he is good is that he has one of the worst map pressures of the entire roster. Not only does he run at 110 speed but he has no ability that helps him expand his presence like the other 110 killers have.
Well he has insane chase potential. That alone is good enough map pressure to be high mid tier. Downing survivors fast gives you map pressure cause they have to get off gens
He will always be lower than Huntress unless he gets a significant buff.
I mean, Huntress is high tier, so I agree
I actually disagree with the generalisations that killer x is killer y with/without a, b and c. Take deathslinger for example - his only similarity with huntress (power wise) is that it's a projectile attack. Aside from the basic mechanic of how projectiles work in general their powers have very different functions, advantages, disadvantages and strategies to utilise them. Deathslinger will (should) be played quite differently from the huntress (if you want to get the most out of his power)
High mid tier with the appropriate perks. Mid tier base. He's still good. I've seen people compare him to Clown or Legion, which is far from the case
That’s especially true of the 4.4m/s killers.
I’ve mostly been going against rank 20s today so he has been a pushover. However going against one that could actually land most shots things changed. He was chaining hits on survivors really well.
I definitely agree he has great chase potential but that can only get you so far. No one is saying he is bottom tier but most that are complaining are pointing out he has a glaring issue: bad map pressure.
If Deathslingers can keep injuring survivors and having them work on not dying then everything will work out but if you get one of the bigger maps where (as a 110 killer with no mobility ability) it takes a minute to get to the other side then your going to have difficulty even finding survivors.
Eh, she is low B, top of C.
She relies on maps, on a good map, she is A-tier. On a bad map? She is D-tier.
I think he's pretty mid tier at best. A 110 killer that has to hit people twice and doesn't have any map pressure has a hard ceiling on their potential.
Where is this "insane" chase potential? You throw down a pallet or vault a window and his power becomes useless. Out in the open, sure it's a free down but that's the same with every killer. He's nowhere near Huntress-level and his power isn't good enough to warrant a 110% movement speed. Now, if he were able to drag people over pallets and through windows I think he'd be as good as if not better than Huntress at chasing but I doubt they'll make that a thing even though he needs something like that. That, or just make him 115% and he can deal with loops the same way every other basic mobility killer can.
edit: Think I'll just add this here but he's definitely not a bad killer, he just isn't that good, or as good as Huntress and won't be until he gets some buffs
Cant he pull to keep them in the window and hit them through it?
Then why is Clown considered low tier?
He can yeah but only if you're close enough I'm guessing. If you're not then they're just gonna break free before you can hit them. Haven't played him much so I'm not too sure about the timings for it yet but that seems to be ok for him. He should definitely be able to deal with pallets the same way or in a different way though. He would actually be a threat then, and could punish people camping pallets like Huntress can.
If he is high mid tier then Clown should be S tier as Clown has chase potential and is 115% ms killer?
