Killers you never see.
I faced a Hag today, and I genuinely think it was the first time I've faced Hag since maybe the end of March, or May and if I did see her more than once since then it was only twice.
She has to be the rarest killer I ever see. It was fun facing her today as it has been THAT long for me.
Oni, now this week I've seen him 3-4 times which was insane as before that I'd see him about once every two weeks.
Bubba, never see Bubba, but I'm not going to complain about that. And in saying that I'll probably see him twice as often now. FML.
Billy, Wraith, pig, deathslinger, clown, trapper, spirit. Never see spirit. Twins. Pyramid head. About once a month, a month and a half.
Compared to Wesker but I get he's very popular and he's actually decent as well. Myers, Everyone LOVES Myers it seems in my world. And I HATE him he's my pet peeve killer always freaks me out and gets the jump with that stalk. Huntress, extremely popular, every time I play without fail huntress is there to yeet axes.

Hag, Billy, Twins, and Deathslinger all seem non-existent.

Twins & Billy are the least played in my matches.

I mean who wants to play as mediocre killers? Survivors ask to get killers kits nerfed and then wonder why they don’t get played anymore? Lol.
5 -
Spirit, Twins and Hag aren't mediocre killers.
4 -
Sadako, Hag, Billy, Deathslinger, Twins, Spirit, Ghostface. I haven't seen any of them in months.

Freddy and Twins I see the least. I get get an occasional Hag game unfortunately.

That doesn’t change the fact that most killers in the game are mediocre. I used to be an exclusive Freddy man until earlier this year. Once I came the realization that he is just an M1 killer with no power because of the alarm clock change, I decided to stop playing him. Many killers are the same in this regard. Weak to okayish power that can’t keep up with good 2-4 man swfs.

Twins and Hag

Spirit. Probably because before every match I say out loud “please be a Spirit” and it’s almost never her.
0 -
I've been playing just over a month and never seen a twins game ever lol artist is one I've only seen once. And oni is a definite rarity.
0 -
I can't recall the last time I saw a Slinger.

Because they take more brains to play 'except spirit which takes headphones' than say Oni or Wesker. Hag is extremely strong, she was the first killer I played, but you have to have good trap set up and not dedicate to chases because you are slow. A lot of people also don't like her FOV which on her own map is the worse.
Playing as Victor has the same FOV problem some people don't like. It also feels bad to get kicked as Victor and tbagged after a missed pounce.
Spirit fell off after they removed her collision in phase, which was a too easy way for her to never miss a swing. Also, nerfing/changing prayer beads hurt her pick rate. She's still a strong killer, but you have to learn to read audio and visual (grass moving) cues while phasing. I'm surprised she didn't make a big comeback after they nerfed iron will. But then again devs have consistently released nothing but ranged or fast killers for the last year so there are plenty more killers to choose from that never have to lose visuals in their power.

My least seen killers are an echo of everyone else: Hillbilly, Hag, Pyramid Head, Deathslinger, and Demo
0 -
It's easier for me to remember the ones I see every match.
- Nurse (like 70% of my matches)
- Blight (20%)
- Spirit (9%)
- 1% rest

Twins, hag and deathslinger all seem quite rare, but I also haven't seen a single dredge since its release

Hag Billy and nurse are my least seen killers

A quarter of the killers get nerfed to pointlessness (Freddy, Deathslinger, Spirit, Billy) or invalidated by hyper-strong survivor perks *cough COH cough* (Hag, Wraith, Oni). A quarter were never good in the first place and the microscopic buffs they got have done nothing to change that (Trapper, Clown, Sadako, Pig, Ghostface). Another quarter could be fine with minor tweaks but never get the attention they need and so they feel bad to play as and underperform at every level but the absolute highest, where players get way better results way easier with actually good killers (Twins, Pyramid Head, Dredge, Demo, Pinhead, Doctor).
And only the final quarter has any hope of actual success / are actually enjoyable to play.
Bad killers don't get balanced UP to make them appealing to play as. Or fun to play. Or even just attractive from an ideological standpoint. They get balanced DOWN to make the game more attractive to survivors. The fact that this frequently ends up removing the killer from gameplay is as obvious as it is reliable, but doesn't stop them from doing it again and again.
If you ask me, EVERY killer should have some kind of game-altering passive effect, like Doctor's Madness or Pinhead's Box. Then, they could just tweak the passive up or down as needed to balance the individual killers rather than trying to rework the whole power from the ground up and totally kill the character off in the process (see: Billy, Freddy, and Deathslinger in particular)

Sadako, Twins and clown strangely enough
0 -
the 3 killers I see the least are twins, hag, and freddy (not complaining about that one)
0 -
If you can't keep up with 2 man swf then it's skill issue. They're just little better than solos they help teammates instead leaving them to die on hook.
0 -
Never face: Twins, Freddie, Artist, Trapper
Barely face: Spirit, Hag, GF, Oni, Bubba, Deathslinger, Dredge, Clown, Wraith, Nemesis
Face a lot: Legion, Felix, Nurse
The rest pop up every so often.

Part of the point is that it's NOT a skill issue. It's a Killer issue. Why try to get good at a killer who's built or balanced wrong and plays like you're trying to steer a car with your buttcheeks? Why bother wearing weighted training clothes? Like half of the cast are objectively bad and any effort you put into getting good with them would be better spent getting good with one of the few killers whose powers actually deliver.
CAN you win with one hand tied behind your back? Maybe! But why should you have to?

Hag and twins but I did faced twins two days ago.

For what it’s worth Twins, Hag and Freddy are consistently roughly the least three killers every month on Nightlight. (Hillbilly sometimes pops his head in there too.)
0 -
Beyond the normal list of least picked killers (Hag, Twins, etc.), I haven't seen a Pyramid Head, Ghost Face, or Pinhead in a while.
0 -
hillbilly, wraith, hag and twins are all pretty rare for me. besides that i actually get a decent variety
0 -
It doesn’t take a 4 man swf to win despite what people claim on this board. It takes competent players. So yes it is a skill issue. A survivor skill issue.
1 -
Billy, Hag, Twins in that order
0 -
It takes competent killer to beat competed survivor. If you lose to 4 man swf with nurse or blight you simply got outplayed. Just any competed killer should be able to beat solos or duos most of the time.

Pig

Twins, Hag and Freddy are the 3 least picked killer.

Hag, Billy, and Twins are probably the ones I rarely see. More so the Twins, I think I haven't versed them in months.
0 -
I never see Spirit's or Oni's. Two killers that I enjoy facing the most, but the game decides to give me Nurses every day.
1 -
nobody asked for billy to get nerfed, ever
0 -
Same as Deathslinger. Everybody who complains about either did so in retrospect, as if they'd been some tremendous, terrible burden to the game.
And now they're both dead. But at least Billy was a free character and you didn't waste your money buying him only to get him nerfed to uselessness a week later, like Slinger.

Hag and Twins encourage play styles that aren't really fun for most (slugging, camping). Spirit's nerfs have pushed her into a space where she is dependent on add-ons, and made her less accessible to your average player.
When played optimally, they are three of the strongest killers in the game.

Twins I hardly see. Freddy after that. Mostly see the new killer who I call " blonde a-hole" and Nemesis. All the others I get a good mix of.
0 -
My personal stats since December 2021. In this time we had Sadako, Dredge and Wesker releases, and if you to compare, Dredge was the most flop chapter and wesker and sadako has a lot of numbers for obvious reasons. 80% thei number are 2 weeks after their release.
So
Twins - less 10 games in 1147 and Twins had rift in this year
Dredge - Flop
Hag - Complex and mehh, she isnt apeal and dont bring your attention
0 -
Freddy, Hag, Billy, Twins. These are the most rare killers for me
0 -
Twins, Freddy, Hag, Pyramid Head, Artist, Ghostface, Demo, Spirit, Billy. Over the last couple months I've played against each of these maybe once if at all.
