BEST and WORST Designed Killers in Dead by Daylight!

This week we're exploring the idea of what makes a killer successful in terms of their design in Dead by Daylight. To do this we're going to discuss Game Feel and "Juice". We'll also look at Camera, Character and Controller in regards to the killer design and how they are balanced. Finally we'll construct a sort of tier list going through the killers chronologically to explore my personal thoughts on each killers design.
