Who is the worst killer in your opinion?

I know what the popular answer will be already.

IMO it is Leatherface you will rarely land that chainsaw up against good survivors.

    Can you hear that? Listen closely.

    Yup, exactly. It's the Forum Mains. They all ready to tell you that Legion is now garbage tier and the worst killer in this entire game. @TreemanXD

    I think the worst is Leatherface too. At least Freddy can slow down the game a but

    @FeelsVeryBadMan I mean to be fair I’m probably on this forum more than anyone else and I don’t think he got trashed like some people say.

    @PhantomMask20763 yep, I just set up a three or four gen strat rely on Bamboozle and win. Freddy is actually pretty good if used right.

    Then you should know by now that Killers love to over-exaggerate. I think it was a good change, and sure, some QoL changes and slight adjustments would be nice.

    As I am a PS4 player, I would say the Nurse. The frame rates, the skill curve x3, and controller sensitivity make her very very difficult to play. I have seen a tiny amount of good nurses, but nearly all on PS4 are not good because of the issues listed above.

    As a survivor? Leatherface. Freddy is annoying but Leatherface is easy.

    For me playing Killer I would say the worse Killer is the Nurse since she is so hard to use and I suck super bad with her. And that Stun drives me insane.

    @FeelsVeryBadMan yeah I do see a lot do that. But that’s something for another thread.

    @lasombra1979 She is still good if you put time into her.

    Most people don't have the time to get good with Nurse on PS4. lol

    Clown.

    He basically doesn't have a power unless you use very powerful add-ons.

    @GodDamn_Angela I’ve had this game for a year so I’ve had more time I guess. I’m on PS4 too.

    People might say Freddy, and it’s understandable given the unique bull crap he has to endure but I think he’s definitely not the worst when borderline exploitive actions aren’t taken into consideration.

    But I think Plague is BY FAR BAR NONE the weakest. She literally has nothing going for her - Freddy at least has his advantages. Not only does she have nothing going for her, but she gives cleanses and heals for free and her corrupt is laughable next to Myers, tier 3 Doc, Clown, and Swing chain or Photo Freddy.

  • GrootDude
    GrootDude Member Posts: 14,110

    @pemberley I think most people try to play Freddy like any other killer and that’s the reason they say that.

    I haven’t played Plague enough to discuss her viability.

    As a survivor, the easiest killer to go against is leatherface, at least for me. I am really surprised that the devs still didn't buff him.

    Extremely predictable, it is really easy to avoid his chainsaw. He is basically an m1 115% ms killer with no power in my book.

    His best 'strat' is easily beatable too, for some reason, survivors become really greedy and feed him easy hooks. When you are in the basement, just go into the lockers, he is forced to pick one of you. Sure it sucks that one has to die but because of the camp and lack of map pressure, he is going to lose as well.

    Freddy is just special because of the amount of bullshit that can happen to him.

    Easily Leatherface. Not only is he the weakest, toxic players absolutely love him. They go after him like flies on #########.

  • pemberley
    pemberley Member Posts: 1,510

    Yeah. Freddy is definitely the most unique killer (part of the reason I’m sad he’s getting overhauled...the man just needs qol buffs so survivors can’t cheese him when he’s got them fair and square.)

    I really wanted to like Plague, I love her design, but match after match playing her showed me survivors make use of her more than she stands to gain. I think it would be fine if her giving free heals meant her power was worth that trade. It’s not. She has weak map pressure (which she COULD have in spades,) poor tracking, her getting corrupt is essentially meaningless (perhaps it could if it retained its infectious properties to injure survivors who touch a corrupt gen) and doesn’t inspire fear like evil within 3 does, and she slows herself down more than anything.

    Even Leatherface, as weak as he is, has an instant down and hook pressure on his side. He is also the father of bbq - Plague perks are decently situational at best.

    On live it's between Freddy and Leatherface, on the PTB it's between Freddy and Legion.

    I don't mean that they suck and are unplayable, what I mean is that they are the least effective killers to actually kill people with, you can them make work if you know how to play tho.

  • Poweas
    Poweas Member Posts: 5,873

    Leatherface. Legion is going to be buffed, but Leatherface is shocking.

    @TreemanXD So you ask for people's opinions just to tell them they are wrong?

  • GrootDude
    GrootDude Member Posts: 14,110

    @lasombra1979 I am discussing with people. Most discussions start with opinions here and I’m allowed to discuss why I think you’re wrong. Same goes with you, you’re allowed to discuss why you think I’m wrong.

    Personal opinions:

    To play against? Freddy. As soon as you hear the nursery rhyme...groan.

    To play as? I would say Nurse. I know she's a popular choice with many players, just I play better with the other killers. I have got Adept Nurse but I didn't enjoy earning it!

    I strongly disagree about Leatherface. He's a very dangerous guy with certain builds. And once you master turning while chainsawing, you can apply lots of pressure.

    He's only weak vs 4man swf, but the same could be said about all killers except 2 of them, 3 in PC.

    Doctor. Trapper. Freddy.

    Freddy is the worst killer in the game (at the PTB), Legion can be considered as out of the game AKA Trash Tier, so he cant be the worst because of that.

    Freddy, LF and Legion. Pig is very close now even tho I like her.
