    At this very moment in time?

    Not so much a particular killer...just survivors who gets downed once then d/c. ALMOST: Every. Single. Match. It's so tedious.

    Yerp.

    Removing the DC penalty was a mistake.

    Every game where I'm not getting absolutely stomped by a 2k hour SWF that smurfed their MMR down to stomp us 50 hour geriatrics for their damn Twitch viewers, I've got at least 2 people DCing the second I pick them up.

    Going to take a break for a few days I think. New Path of Exile season looks interesting.

    • Doctor - annoying shock + wallhack
    • Legion - annoying wallhack + ignoring of pallets and windows
    • Trickster - annoying knives you can't do anything against
    • Clown - annoying bottles you can't do anything against
    • Trapper - annoying traps that leave solo survivors no chance
    • Hag - same as above
    • Ghostface - his power is bugged, he somehow makes you exposed in a second and is not getting snapped out even if you were clearly looking at him the whole time
    • Huntress - somehow she ALWAYS goes towards you within the first second of trial, + she has broken hatchet hitboxes that haven't been fixed for 5 years already, makes you want to DC after every bs hit
    • Twins - annoying victor who has no terror, broken spinechill detection and also broken hitboxes, also they only ever slug and camp
    • Nemesis - annoying zombies, broken whip hitbox, and for some reason people who play them only tunnel
    • Demogorgon - broken leap hitbox, and also people who play him only tunnel, the reason for this behavior is beyond me
    • Pinhead - annoying chains
    • Freddy - broken melee hitbox that they still can't fix + annoying teleporting power that brings them a lot of ez wins out of thebox

    It's ridiculous and I speak from the viewpoint of survivor.

    A teammate d/c's and it's like "Thank you for your service, sir". Completely ruins the match after a long lobby wait. Especially annoying if you have work/responsibilities and can only afford a few matches a day.

    I. Hate. Huntress.

    Bubba, no contest. Give me Spirit every time before Bubba. Well, camping Bubbas to be specific. I hate that play style, and I hate the fact I just can't bring myself to counter in in the manner it demands.

    So I guess I just hate the way you have to play against him.

    Also, it feels like every Bubba I've ever been up against has been sweaty af. If I ever see a Bubba give someone hatch I might die of shock (exaggerating but not really).

    I'd be happy if I was getting match with more killers other than nurse, 50%+ of my games are against nurse and i didn't use to hate her months ago but now it's incredibly annoying.

  • Thusly_Boned
    Thusly_Boned Member Posts: 2,958

    Weird, I rarely draw Nurse. And when I do, it's either too easy or the team is dead in like four minutes.

    1. Trickster: I just hate everything about his main power. And the fact that he laughs, gosh it annoys me lmao
    2. Deathslinger: I guess he's pretty okay to face now. But he literally scarred me for life before his nerf. And he laughs, and I don't like that xd
    3. Clown: He's the definition of a boring killer. Literally the best way to play against him IMO, is to pre-drop pallets, and that's not fun. And I don't like killers that prevent me from doing things, which is exactly what clown does. He slows me down and I can't see #########. And he's laughing, so yea.
    4. Myers: Boring. He's just staring at you.
    5. Hag: She's so un-interactive (idk if that's a word)
    6. Doctor: He prevents me from doing things. And he can laugh.
    7. Freddy: He's just spamming snares.
    8. Pig: She's so weak and I don't like how random her traps are.
    9. Legion: Mending simulator. And I don't like to be injured.
    10. Trapper: I can't loop anywhere because there are traps everywhere.
    11. Nemesis: Nemesis games are just so long, and his zombies are annoying.
    12. Pinhead: His Chain Hunt is annoying and once again. I don't like killers that prevent me from doing things or slow me down.
    13. Plague: I don't like being injured, I don't like the coughing sound and she's also un-interactive because she's just vomiting on you.
    14. Ghost Face: I just hate staring at him and not revealing him. I can literally stare at him while he's not even hiding and still won't reveal him.
    15. Twins: Slugging and Camping. That's literally what they are.

    I literally haven't faced a single Spirit since her nerf. So I have no idea what she feels like right now.

    Honestly any killer with a brain.

    As I answered to the ones I liked to face...

    Trickster. Unless Huntress, it feels that dodging the knives is quite impossible in some situation. I played him a bit for the latest tome challenge: it was easy to get a down if the Survivor wasn't in a good loop against Trickster.

    Nemesis. I don't like the tentacles. I probably need to verse more Nemesis, but for now, I feel clueless.

    Pinhead. I don't mind being chased by him, but I don't like the passive power where you get hit by chains if the timer around my portrait is full. (Sorry for my poor English, I'm still learning.)

    Bubba. Most of the time, it's a boring match. Most of the ones I've met facecamp—if I'm on the hook, I can watch a YT video, but if I'm not... I can enjoy doing generators and escaping with zero interaction with the Killer.

    Other Killers, I like them or I don't mind. I used to hate Slinger but no one plays him anymore so...

  • RaSavage42
    RaSavage42 Member Posts: 5,549

    I don't "hate" the killer.... But there are a few that I don't like playing against... and it's more of the teammates I get

    Mickey- Once T3 hits my teammates go dumb... then I die (either first or last no in between)

    Bubba- more of a playstyle I don't like to see... but that chainsaw man oh man I am not good enough to avoid that thing... Also to those of you whom are good enough to not Camp I do appreciate it

    Huntress- Hitboxes... need I say more

    I haven't faced all of the killers (well recently... that I can remember) but I haven't faced the Twins, Trapper, Spirit, Oni, Mickey... Just to name a few

    I don't like to play against bubba, but i HATE to play against nurse. For me there is only one killer that i really hate and that is Nurse, she is OP and i almost never have fun when playing against her. I don't understand that nurse got buffed and deathslinger got nerfed. My friends and i call her the ''NO life killer''. I mean, just beacause someone put 1000 hours in her doesn't mean it should make the game much easier for them. Some people think she is the most ''skilled'' killer in the game (mostly nurse mains themselfs), but i dont agree with that. Some time ago i asked a nurse if they enjoyed playing her and why they played her. They told me that they put many hours in Nurse and stared maining her after they got used to her and the easy way of winning. Something else i really hate about her is the fact that the Nurse can abuse perks, like starstruck. I can go on for forever and ever and ever, but i think i made my point.

    Sidenote: MY OPINION!!!

    Honestly, trapper clown and nemesis. They can shut down loops really good.

    Hag, Twins, Blight, Nurse, ****HUNTRESS****

    Trapper clown sounds like the ultimate anti-loop killer, I agree.

    Death slinger. If he was removed I wouldn’t mind any killers

  • landromat
    landromat Member Posts: 2,193

    Blight because his power has million exploits to get advantage from and it's never fun when they know how to use them

    Huntress. Every game im getting hit around the corner. It just isn't fun anymore

    Nurse, because there is no interaction. Just press w and die when she catches you

    Hate is a strong word but twins are the only killer I never enjoy vsing.

    And it doesn't mean they should be changed. It is just how I feel.

    Honestly it makes me happy to read the comments to see no one say Spirit 😊

    Anyways to answer the question, Trickster is incredibly obnoxious to go against. Counterplay is holding W and praying. No counterplay once you actually get to loop, just an overall terrible design. I would probably hate Twins more if it weren’t for the fact that only like 3 people main them lol.

  • GingerBeard
    GingerBeard Member Posts: 273

    The main ones before the mid-chapter dropped were Hag, Wraith, and Deathslinger. Could probably put Twins as well, but i've played against them so little its hard to say.

    1. Plague I’ve always liked healing combos so moment I see a fountain half my build is worthless.
    2. Bubba it’s fun looping with a Bubba but the moment you loop them too long there’s the camp risk which obviously not enjoyable.
    3. Trickster was always lame to face

    Trickster, Hag, Nemesis, Bubba, Legion, Twins, Trapper, Nurse, and Pinhead.

    Trickster - Literally can't do anything against him in a 1v1, not unless you manage to find a loop or structure with high walls.

    Bubba - Most of them I go against camp/tunnel/slug and I just find going against him very boring.

    Hag - Most of them camp hooks with their traps and I hate that when you trigger a trap it forces your camera to look at her. I also get tremendous frame drops when going against her.

    Nemesis - Most of them I go against tunnel. Aside from that, the zombies are very annoying and you can't do anything against him when vaulting a window or pallet.

    Legion - Literally just Mending Simulator. Very boring to go against.

    Twins - Most of them camp and slug.

    Trapper - I hate having to look everywhere I step.

    Nurse - Can't really do anything against her if she knows what she's doing.

    Pinhead - I just find his power very annoying to face.

    Blight. He has several stupidly strong add ons that are almost always used. His ability synergizes very well with the most boring perk loadout. He has a power that was intended to be counterable at most loops but isn't in most cases. His hitbox is egregiously oversized making juking very frustrating. And his mains usually play with a very sweaty mindset.

    Also Hag and Bubba because basement camping.

    That's the reason I main oni. He seems to never really show up on these kind of threads. But often on the "like" equivalents.

  • Kaitsja
    Kaitsja Member Posts: 1,833

    This is a list of killers I hate playing against because they're simply unfun to play against. I don't think all of them could use changes, some of them I think are fine but just boring to play against.

    Trickster because he's blatantly overpowered.

    Blight because almost every blight I've played against tunnels off-hook due to how fast he moves and pinballs off everything.

    Doctor because his shocks prevent you from vaulting/throwing pallets, ontop of revealing your position, ontop of making it so you can't use items while in Madness 3. I'd find him considerably more fun to play against if his shocks only revealed your location.

    Hag because of the camera snapping to her phantasms.

    Legion because mending simulator is boring.

    Bubba because chainsaw go brr.

    • Tickster since on a few maps there will be few LOS breakers and you need that to counter his power.
    • Trapper since I always step in his traps like a ######### head.
    • Twins due to the constant slugging, although I do like kicking babies.
  • Nathan13
    Nathan13 Member Posts: 6,712

    Pinhead and Legion.

  • Darkside84
    Darkside84 Member Posts: 40

    Trapper - Hate the feeling that everywhere I go could be a trap that might be gg for me.

    Trickster - If he catches you anywhere without a high wall it seems like you're screwed, from healthy to down faster than any other killer.

    Pinhead - Seems like I'm the only one who ever goes for the box. So I either let a chain hunt start or be forever chased when he teleports to me.

    Twins - Victor having a hitbox that seems to be the size of a car is all ill say.

  • Hugs4trapdad
    Hugs4trapdad Member Posts: 55

    I was trying to think about it from the opposite side; which killers do I actually enjoy going against? There's Billy, Oni, Bubba (assuming he doesn't just camp the hook)... umm... Blight's ok, if he's not doing the incredibly unimaginative ruin/undying/tinkerer thing... Huntress would be fine, except her massive hatchet hitboxes that get you around corners, like she's throwing a heat-seeking fridge at you.

    There's so many with flawed designs that make them frustrating/boring to play against. Which one's worst? Probably the twins; ez mode camping with a mini demo-on-crack.

    Any killer on VPN or benefiting from the latency advantage this game provides. There's nothing balanced or fair about it. Seeing the killer swing where I was 2.5 seconds ago and the hit counts is the definition of unfun.

  • ManOMaker
    ManOMaker Member Posts: 284

    I hate playing against Trapper and Trickster. Trickster is just annoying for the most part but Trapper? I know Trapper is not a strong killer even with his new buff (which I’m glad they gave him one). It’s just that I always get stuck in a trap every single time I swear no matter how attentive I’m being it’s like my feet are magnetized to the dang things. So yeah, Trapper no fun.

  • Moonman157
    Moonman157 Member Posts: 102

    Clown - Weak killer, but so boring. I hate his power design so much.


    Twins - encourage scummy play style, Lil Vic is really funny though.


    I did hate Hag, but my last 5 Hag matches have been really fun/tense, so maybe I misjudged poor Hag.

    Trapper is a bit boring as well but not bad every now and then, everyone else is cool.

  • Leachy_Jr

    Trickster: really annoying killer (where you have no chance against 43 knives) you cant dodge them and the worst thing is i dont know how to play against him properly

    Leatherface: He is way too op, it cant be that he can see everything with his perks and one hit everyone with his chainsaw


    Legion: another killer who is way too op, can vault windows and pallets so they are just useless to use against him, hes just annoying in general
