Dead by Daylight perk ranking

Survivor and killer perks ranked by how often they win compared with the average perk, from matches players upload to NightLight (17 Oct – 14 Nov). The difference is shrunk for small samples (× games ÷ (games + 300)), so a perk with only a few games cannot top the list. Tiers: S ≥ +3, A ≥ +1.25, B about average, C ≤ −1.25, D ≤ −3. Community numbers are a strong hint, not proof: a perk can also win because good players pick it.
