What is With Skull Merchant?

I keep track of the community stats on nightlight.gg and have noticed that killers seem to be getting kill-rates more in-line with the 60% kill-rate goal that was hit, then lost, and apparently almost regained.
Anyway, there is one killer that was ALWAYS been at the top of the kill-rate, and not even by a small amount. Title should make it obvious who I'm talking about. Her kill-rate is 7% higher than Sadako, which is currently 2nd-place in this category.
For months, I've checked the stats (periodically) and she is ALWAYS at the top, by a wide margin. Then they reworked her...and somehow, her kill-rate only went down by ~4%.

Why is she so lethal, still? Does she need another rework?
I don't play as her, and I've only gone against her once as survivor.

I don't really like using Nightlight for stat tracking, considering only a certain % of users would even bother uploading their game results consistently. I know some swear by it and sometimes it's pretty close to actual stats, but I would like ACTUAL stats.

That aside, SM suffers from a bad release and bad reception with survivors to this day giving up on hook/DCing against her no matter what. That will inflate the numbers. It doesn't help she's actually a pretty strong M1 killer to boot if played correctly.

Survivor surrender the match because some of them believe that a 3 gen favor the killer. Shes kinda living rent free in the survivor mind cause of that.

A lot of folk that don't play killer (at least based on what we see on the forums) don't know she was reworked, or even what her rework did for her abilities. So they just D/C or end themselves rather than learn / keep abreast of what killers can do.
