Background footage: gameplay that begins at the start of the match was kindly provided by the amazing @Lionnek (25 matches in total). The remaining matches where the footage begins mid-action were recorded by me.
Big thanks to @Ev3ntic (thumbnail render) & @SirPoggy for helping me fix some audio issues. My voice still has still a bit of echo, but this issue disappears after the first 10 minutes.

Small disclaimer: My microphone was off-position for the first 10 minutes and the audio is a bit "echoey", it gets fixed after that. 😊
"You're not gonna be using save the best for last on her, let's put it thay way" Otz says about Huntress.
Me who does use STFBL on her: coughs nervously.
Honey new otz killer tier list is out!
its a shame trapper is so bad, i consider him to be one of the more fun killers to go against as a solo player because he can legitimately jump scare you if you manage to get successfully chased into a trap zone similarly to hag.
i wish they made starting with 2 traps base kit (same amount of traps on map resulting in a net gain of +2)
give his traps the sadako stealth treatment where you cant see them unless within like 12 range encouraging slow and carefully paced movement (entity assisted stealth)
rework stealth addons to reduce visibility range by 2 and 4 range giving him a new ambush trap play style where you could put traps in the middle of hallways and they'v be pretty damn hard to guess till you get close allowing for some new mind game potential
give his traps undetectable so they cant be mapped
remove his animation for picking up traps OR make it so picking up a trap makes you move 3% faster (stacking) for 10 seconds promoting a new sort of playstyle while buffing his base kit
trap haemorrhaging becomes basekit (with meme addon removes it for more points) and hemo addon reworked to include blinding (envenomed traps), hemo basekit would give a TRAPPER better tracking as well as some needed slowdown rewarding you for successfully TRAPPING your prey
then finally disarming or escaping a trap makes survivor scratch makes more visible for 10 seconds (because a good trapped can track where his escaped prey went)
do all this and MAYBE he can crawl up to mid B-, you'd think the poster boy of the DbD franchise would at least be around the same level as the most average killers in the damn game

Gf: Come over?
Me: Can’t, Otz has an updated video on killers
Gf: Who’s Otz?
Hello?…
You can no longer reply to this conversation. Read more.
I love watching your videos they’re so entertaining and interesting
1:43:57 no worries, Trickster has the uncanny ability to make people thirsty.
I watch these to help me sleep at night, I usually get through half of it before passing out. Love these.
Funny to see that Self Care Claudette is the most op killer of the game that Otz didn't take the time to make her in the tierlist because obviously, everyone know she is above all killer in her personal tier
My mom tell me this will be 18 hours video, she's a liar
Like Christmas whenever Otz drops a tierlist. Even though I only play 3 killers consistently, its still nice to see where everyone else is in your opinion
i'd personally put Billy's map dependency as being high – the extent to which the curvability of objects and the openness of a map can be the difference between having one of the strongest map control/chase powers in the game and having no power at all is pretty insane. especially with recent changes, the only addons that really exist for him anymore are double engravings or doom + lopro, and those addons are MASSIVELY map dependent imo.
i dont think the extent to which deathslinger can GIGA tunnel is really pointed out enough. you can shoot someone quite quickly after they're unhooked and just hold them hostage until basekit BT is over. he doesn't have an innate ability to tunnel quite as much as pyramid head who can just ignore perks entirely, but in terms of getting one person out of the game as quickly as possible he's pretty insane at it.
1:18:54 mad respect for respecting the glypth despite nightfall going
Hi Otz,
I've thought of a potential nursework that could solve her being so strong. I'm unsure on all the numbers currently so bear with!
The nurse moves at normal speed and starts with 30 charges per say and each charge represent how many metres she can blink so 30 charges is 30 m. You can blink as many times as you want. These charges replenish at 1 per 0.5 seconds, meaning it takes 15 seconds to get her power back from 0. Every time you blink through 1 object and hit a survivor, this recharge is delayed by 2 seconds and if you blink through 2 objects to hit somebody, it is delayed by 3 seconds and so every additional object you blink through adds an extra second.
I feel like this would tone her down a bit and fit in with her lore that blinking hurts her.
Add-ons at a quick thought could reduce the cooldown penalty, giver her extra charges (kind of like extra range), and an insta down because we know behaviour loves those!
Let me know what you think!
Great video Otz, thank you for the hard work you do constantly for the community!
Myers variability should go to S tier if survivors screw up you can kill one in the first 60 seconds of the game no other killer can do that, its like forcing a DC on the survivor team at 5 gens.
Which green add ons for ghostface can be rated as great, though? From my own observations, they are all either incredibly niche like faster crouch used only for smolface memes, or do pretty much nothing at all like a chewed pen or perfume (where vallet that restores shroud after breaking a pallet is the exception).
But I´m not a ghostface main, if there is any reading this, I would like to know your opinion on this or how this can actually be utilized 🙂
It's pretty amazing how you don't just simply update the info in the tierlist, but also keep updating the presentation.
2:08:38 Wolfe must be spinning in his chair from this blasphemy. ><"
Another very good tip for Clown is something you can actually see in the video. If you throw a purple bottle and then break LoS at a loop, if you get a point score event for "Intoxication" that means they went back to where you threw the bottle. Clown imo, is be the best M1 killer hands down.
Otz burping like The Pig
I find this tier list could change a lot for console player. As a console player some of the killer become really hard to use with the controller (ex. Flick with oni, sniping with huntress..) and i'm curious if one day you may do a shorter video with the modified tier list and the reasons behind the differences for every killer
I love when I play against a nemesis and have a zombie couple cuddling.
I stopped playing this game 2 years ago but I still watch every vid
stop being entertaining I have work to do
*sees Myers at bottom tier* … *leaves before hearing you out* 😎Myers deniers' opinions don't matter
If Otz doesn’t get his own killer cameo in the game called “The Chronicler” whose whole schtick is information and absolutely outplaying survivors by knowing absolutely everything about them, I’m going to be very upset
Blight only up in the s list is because all they do is tunnel💀 thats his strongest power right there
wraith in c+ after this update makes no sense the same with legion. the medkit nerf makes wraith an absolute killing machine. Legion getting everyone injured can lead to massive pressure via camping or tunneling where teammates simply cant do anything to help. and as always hard disagree on myers again. Myers has insane add ons and with the perks nowadays he can always make them work out well. i get it sadako for example only has one set of add ons that makes her really strong but myers has so many great add ons, that allow him to camp like bubba, allow him to erease someone out of the game in 1:30 min or the entire team without ever hooking anyone. he has insanely fast vaults and the biggest weakness is only to pre drop pallets and play around early game well. myers is by far not bottom tier.
Hey @notOtzdarva at 1:28:55 in the video you are talking about Bubba. i dont hear any sound of the gameplay the whole video but hear when you rev the chainsaw i think there is the ingame sound… or is it just in my mind? i mean this is a serious question. xD
This might be a dumb question but is killer a lot easier to play now?
I came back to the game after not having played it seriously since last September and it seems like its 10 times harder to survive/escape. Hearing that you can't burn the nurse with the nerf to dead hard too made me wonder this again. I'd appreciate any comments!
These players that go on "win streaks" use file manipulation and filters, I wish the community would stop glorifying cheating.
Nailed it on the head for Merch. Gotta treat her like Cenobite. Someones gotta be a runner and disarm drones.
I had RPD twice back to back as huntress two days ago. First game went about as well as you would expect, so when I spawned in a second time I nearly cried 😢
37:00 what what did i hear the fa-??
Otz what do you think about adding a grip strength or strength mechanic to killers? The idea would be that killers like nurse can't carry survivors as far or the effects of wiggle affect her more? It would then allow counterplay to stronger killers (going to edge map, body blocking) also characters like trapper which have a harder time getting the down would be better able to secure the kill?
I disagree heavily with a lot of positions here, but just can't not to respect the massive amount of effort and commitment put into the video, good job!
Random idea: Otz should make a tierlist on how much killers depend on how bad the survivors are to win/get kills.
2:03:45 Wow, Otz… you should really plan these videos out better. A small break in the middle of this completely threw me off and I retained none of the information because of it. Do better >:(
(this was another wonderful video, thank you so much for all that you do.)
My personal opinion I think Knight is better than Skull Merchant but their not super far from each other Knight for me is like mid-low B tier and Skull Merchant is high-mid C tier
1:36:58
Dredge is so loud it’s like you got skull merchant tracking on him I swear
Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the even better looking fella
