I’m going to assume you are in either Low or Low-Mid MMR. The solution is go to High-Mid MMR. There is where all the fun is and where I stay with the cool kids.
High-Mid MMR is where all the good players go to chill and just have a fun game so its the best place to be. You will see a high character diversity (except no Pinheads for some reason) and no one par a few are swf sweat teabaggers.
Kind of natural with the way balance is and the way the game is monetized. You have stronger killers that are also free, so you'll naturally see those more often than weaker killers who are also paid.
Well for one there are a majority of killers that are so weak you can lose the game regardless of how well you play. For many people losing the game at killer selection isn't fun. They want to feel as though their skill level matters on the result of the match.
There's also simply people enjoying different play styles.
Low rank players are usually new and don't have lots of DLC, ergo they play the free Killers. High rank players usually play the meta so they play the same 3-5 meta Killers. Variety happens in the middle, and even then its usually a mix of the first two groups.
Certain killers are going to be more common by dint of them being free. New killers aren't going to have the iri shards to buy other killers, and may be reluctant to shell out for licensed killers.
A lot of killers prefer a more unga-bunga chase and down style than a more nuanced, tactical killer like Hag, Doctor and Cenobite
Some killers like Hag and Plague just don't appeal to people regardless of power. Others, such as Pig, Legion, Ghostface and Clown are considered weaker and quite difficult to succeed with. Others yet, such as Pyramid Head have very unappealing, boring addons that make them tedious to play. Finally, boons have been a defacto huge nerf to any killer with an attrition based style, such as Hag and Wraith, leading these players to switch to a killer with more immediate lethality.
As you reach low-intermediate MMRs, you'll probably see the greatest variety of killers.
As you reach intermediate-high MMRs, you'll see a lot more 'meta' killers - Huntress, Blight and to some extent Nurse and Spirit.
TL:DR - it's going to depend on the level you play the game at. At both extreme ends of the MMR spectrum, killer variety is going to be smaller due to free killers, meta killers and about half the killer roster being in need of some love from the developers, particularly in terms of addons.
It costs to buy some killers and takes a long time to unlock original ones. Some may also choose to get survivors or use shrine of secrets instead. Also rank always made it punishing to try a new killer out. It's less punishing now but you still have to learn them and upgrade them. Even if you do have the characters and the items on them, it's usually more fun to stick with what works because of this game's semi-competitive nature. That's what i do, which is why im rarely playing characters like Hag, Nurse and Huntress.
I'd like to see more M1 killers but i get it. Times are tough.
I see so many tricksters that after getting 4th in a row i just stood in front of him and let him kill me. Enough is enough. Also massive amount of huntresses and doctors. Plagues too.
Plague i get since she is a nice counter to the nasty boonies i play her myself too sometimes but why tricksters. I love the killer but damn give me a Michael!
Plain and simple, low MMR killers are gonna be the same old same old, Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Huntress etc, all the free killers. Middle MMR and middle ranks you start to see odd balls Pig, Doctor, Freddy, Clown, Pyramid Head, Legion, Twins, Trickster, Hag, etc, High MMR and top ranks you start to see less of all the stuff I just mentioned, and like 80% Blight, Nurse, Spirit. You'll know you're there, because the killer is never brain dead and usually makes you run yourself into them, or their accuracy and speed of downs is ridiculous. They run the best perks, best add ons, and GIGAbrain combinations.
Probably because most killers can't compete very well at a certain MMR. It could also be the MMR range you are in just has that sort of killer because that's the primary killer that can make it there. I don't see Billy that often or Huntress.
Or wound 4 survivors, chase one, before you manage to hook him, the rest is insta healed #CoH.
We adapt aswell. Whats the point of playing something and stressing out as a killer you hardly ever get an advantange or clutches. Tunneling or going for wounded survivor is an obvious thing these days, or else chasing one is a perfect for gen rush.
As long as game in a favor of survivors, we will have to play dirty aswell

What the ######### swap games with me I'll take Billy's and get rid of Trickster and Nemesis
Yeah last time I played I got 1 every solar eclipse and even then it was usually someone doing a daily

MMR pushes strong killers to high MMRs and weak killers to low MMR

I can try and get up there for you. :P

A few thoughts:

I switch up which killer I play almost every game.
once every five times at the very least, and that's only if I have an archive or a daily that I'm having a really tough time working on.
My guy did not just say Billy was not fun.
I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.
I play every killer there is. I used to play them all except Nurse but I've started playing as her now.
Not true - sometimes when I’m bored of executioner I play nemesis.
I'd like to see more M1 killers but i get it. Times are tough.

The more you go against the same killer, the more you should start to find their counterplay.
All your mentioned killers are free and good enough to have fun. Why would you buy others if u don't need them?
I personally play only 2 killers and I don't want anything else.
Some people only play one or two killers, some people like me play 10 different killers. Everyones fun is different I suppose.
Um... To play as horror icons? To mix up the game play? To earn perks? Lots of reasons, really.
Wait, you get Huntress and Billys? How unfair :(
I found him fun before he got simultaneously gutted and given a combination of Red Bull and Steroids
now, he’s just sort of meh

Not everyone earns perks just to earn and not everyone is fan of horror icons. I would gladly kill em all but survivors have no shotgun 🙄
Most killers :
Even when you are good. What is the point to play those killers ? So players are playing stronger killers.
