We've established that gen defense killers are massively hated due to recent killers like knight/SM so i'm curious what people actually enjoy.

I've gotten hate for instadown killers, stealth killers, chase killers like nothing seems to be good for anybody so i'm curious what type of killer you actually want to play vs.

I'm currently over the BP cap and can't gain anymore so I don't need to win/lose and am just playing for memes and I will do whatever is considered "fun" for survivors here

    I always enjoy going against chase killers that require skill on both sides. Blight, wesker, demo, billy, oni, bubba, huntress, etc.

    Blight, billy, oni, and bubba are my top favorites.

    Pretty much this. I'd add Nemmy, Pyramid Head too.

    Yeah pretty much this. The killers I personally hate to go against is Knight, Skull merchant, hag, cenobite, trickster, artist and nurse. My top few favourite killers to verse may be bubba, billy, demo and perhaps huntress?

    But honestly at the end of the day play what you find most fun, killers are there to be used, it's bhvr's job to adjust where it needs to be adjusted not players to refrain from playing certain killers because they aren't fun to verse.

    Also you don't need to spend those bloodpoints? I always have a use for bloodpoints, if I reach the limit I spend some then continue on gaming until it's max and then repeat.

    PS. I completely missed that this was survivor only, I play both pretty equally but I don't think that affects my decision?

    Not a survivor-only player, but I enjoy stealth killers. They keep me on edge watching my surroundings instead of relying on the TR, they're usually easier to loop and allows you to make full use of resources like pallets and windows, but even when I'm caught out positioned or suprised by an ambush, I don't feel cheated, I feel they earned it.

    I dont get the reason you ask survivor mains, since all sorts of players have preferences.

    Here is mine (as a 30% solo, 30 SWF and 40% killer player)

    My fun to play against killers are Wesker, pyramid head, hillbilly, and nurse but that’s usually when it’s an inexperienced nurse cause those are always the fun ones to go against with how bad they are with knowing how the killer works

    and oni is usually super fun to play against if you have decent teammates

    They're usually the ones who complain the most is why I was asking lol but I don't mind trying anything.

    Also I have all the killer perks unlocked at T3 and all the survivor perks that I own are unlocked on the 3 survivors I play, until the shrine gives me perks I don't own I have nothing to spend them on so i'm just saving up for Chucky so I can immediately get his T3 perks unlocked on everyone (tho his perks are poop imo) Currently holding 3mil BP so if I have nothing to gain I have nothing to lose.


    Also also I noticed a lot of people saying Weskuh, I swear everytime I touch Wesker people get unbelievably pissed

    Ah I see!

    I never understood why people had/have an issue with wesker... beats me.

    I like stealth killers like Michael, GF and Pig. I also like Demogorgon and Wesker as you can have some fun and exciting matches with them.

    I like facing Killers that give you a side objective to do. Like Xeno, Singularity, Sadako and Pig. Always happy to see those guys. Also like facing Demo, Deathslinger, Myers and Bubba too.

    But then again, Wesker and Pinhead also give you side objectives and I don't really like those guys. I guess because their addons make their side objectives feel a lot more punishing and you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. As does Skull Merchant, but her drones are so complicated to understand they just confuse me.

    The thing is, you can't possibly please everyone. We all have different ideas of what fun is in this game. As long I don't feel like you're going out of your way to make sure I'm not having a good time, even a Killer that I wouldn't typically enjoy can still be fun to face. I definitely don't find it fun to face Killers that play for a 4K at 5 gens like their lives are on the line.

    I guess it's when "unfun" Killers (imho) meet with "unfun" playstyles that I start itching for that DC button.

    Chasing bubba is always fun.

    I play both sides about 50/50 and assuming they are not 3 gen or hard tunneling.

    I like Michael, Bubba, Demo, Ghostface

    I hate Huntress, Trickster, Plague, Alien, Nurse and Wraith.

    Wesker and Blight can be very fun or super oppressive.

    (not a survivor only player). I don't mind playing against any killer except for utterly broken ones like nurse and blight. Like I can respect it when I play against a good Wesker or Oni. Killers that are strong but fair for both sides. I don't really enjoy playing against things like Xeno, Skull Merchant, Tombstone Michael, etc but I don't HATE it.

    Re gen defence (assuming you mean 3 genning?) it's not actually about that specific killer. It's about being forced into a long ass game with little to no return for your time being wasted. Regardless, everyone has different preferences. Nurse is hated by alot of people but I actually like going against her. I find Pinhead frustrating, not because of the killer himself but because good teamwork is necessary to play against him and that's hit and miss when it comes to solo queue.

    I like killer players that are in a good mood. Good Mood = More Fun. I don't mind the moveset too much. So I present to you... The Killer Happiness Chart

    My Top 5-killers I enjoy go against and hate.

    Enjoy:

    1. Demogorgon (Or Huntress)
    2. Michael Myers
    3. Legion
    4. Pyramid Head
    5. Oni

    Hate:

    1. Knight
    2. Wesker
    3. Skull Merchant
    4. Pinhead
    5. Blight

    The others are either "Ok, I guess" and "Meh". Wesker is my number 2, because he is almost in half of my survivor games. I don't know, but If he wasn't played so much, he might not have been on this list and SM would be my number two.

    Everyone has their preferences, that's normal. Skull Merchant was unique in how many people hated her.

    Personally: I really dislike Plague and Spirit if that's who I'm matched up against. Wraith is also kind of just meh.

    Bubba, Legion, Pig, Doctor, Dredge, Slinger.

    Huntress if their ping is good and there isn't three survivor's worth of space between the hit and my collision model.
