To those of you who main particular survivors/killers, what made them the one for you?
Like, when did it click for you? What makes a character enjoyable to you?
I’m just wondering because I like Jane because of her cosmetics, and I like Nancy since she was my fave from Stranger Things.

Hag does not run in circles. Dwight is the OG.

Pig because oink, Detective Tapp cause Stake Out helped with my anxiety in both knowing the killer was near and hitting skillchecks. yes my two mains are from SAW, no, i was not a fan of SAW, not until after playing the game at least :P

For survivors it's just a skin pick, once I unlocked every perk for everyone I just pick whoever looks the coolest
For Killers you have to try them, everybody complains about Legion and yet he's one of my favourites, and the power you feel when you're Freddy or Spirit is just amazing.

I've always been a horror fan so when they added Myers into the game (my favorite horror character of all time, with Jack Skeleton a close second) I knew he would become my favorite killer.
As for original killers I fell in love with Doctor because of how many different builds he has. My favorite Doctor build is "Sniper Doc" with "Impossible Skillchecks" as a close second.
My favorite survivor is Feng (use to be Claudette because I liked her cosmetics). The reason I choose Feng as my favorite is due to the amazing matches I had in the past while playing her. She sort of became my "main" survivor simply due to those crazy moments.
As an honorable mention I have to put Ace (specifically with the Leopard shirt) as I have yet to ever lose a match (escape) while wearing it!

I main jake because of jakebun also monto

When I got the game I played Wraith and I liked the stealth concept, but than I found out Myers was in the game and instantly ditched Wraith for Myers... Because it's Myers why wouldn't you lmao.
Anyways, the stealth concept for Killers in DBD was always fun to me, and the reactions are still enjoyable to this day.

Kate, the boobs and butt

Kate has the best fingernail game out of the survivors. Nancy is a cool character in Stranger Things and Natalia Dyer is easy on the eyes.
2 -
legion because whenever I get two or more kills I’m accused of cheating/camping/tunneling when I didn’t. Just like to piss off die hard survivor mains when they lose to the weakest killer.
2 -
I immediately liked David because I think he's handsome and I'm gay for guys who are tough-looking but also care for their friends a lot so he was right up my alley.
1 -
Leatherface, I don’t know why he clicked to me but I main him.
Claudette has been my main since forever tbh.
0 -
Feng Min looks like my S/O so yep chose her for reasons xD
Spirit I decided on because she visually and mechanically appealed to me.
Huntress is fun in love her.
Pig is amazing to play I still need to get @GrootDude to teach me how to double back with her on console.
Hag because I like chess and I place traps in a way almost all survs will crouch the entire game. Wont matter if I'm a 110 if ur not even 80 percent.

Wraith cause it's satisfying to me to deny a chase completely using some Exposed Perks.

Double posting? You trying to hog center stage for Leatherface!

Doctor cuz i love psychology and i think it represent the crazy part of me. Meg because i don't know. Also i Like legion for the character design
0 -
Feng because she's cute and I like Asian girls.
Kate because she's also cute and I love her country style and cosmetics.
Jane because I like her uniqueness in her body type. Makes her different plus not many people use her so I like to give her some love. Plus she's also cute lol
Yes I have 3 mains don't at me lmao
1 -
Myers because he is imo the best when it comes to jumpscares and he's fun to play overall.
Ace because... I couldn't resist that smile.
0 -
My main survivor is Claudette, because she's quite anti-social according to her lore and it reminded me of myself.
As for killer, atm I'd say ghostface, I love Scream and his play style is really fun to me, plus it's always fun to tbag back to cocky survivors!
0 -
Ace,
For that smile,
That damned smile.

I used to main the Pig because she is such a fun killer to play. I got a lit of RBT's to snap back in my day. I then moved onto the Clown bc his chase potential was crazy but quickly realized map pressure is key. I now play Ghostface because I love his outfit and his ability is super cool. It's kinda reminiscent of the Pig with the crouch and absence of a terror radius.
I used to play Claudette because I like to play support characters, but after Adam Francis came out, I started playing him. It was initially because Deliverance but I don't even use it anymore. His coats have very dark colors and cover most of his body so it's easier to blend in. They nerfed the all black coat so I switched colors but damn, you literally can't be seen on The Game.

Feng Min - she has the smallest player model and has a variety of "stealth suits" and her voice is cute and at the same time super scandalous when she is breaking totems, so how can I possibly choose anyone else.
Myers - Myers is the most fun killer for me. I like to stealth as a killer and Myers is the best at it. He also has so many different play styles you can choose from with his power and add-ons. Very versatile killer that you can play in a variety of ways, with snowball potential.
0 -
Ace because he always smiles
For killer I still haven't decided yet. My favorites are legion and doctor. Legion because it's just fun stabbing a bunch of people, just wish they maybe brought back speed addons or buffed how long you can be in feral frenzy, sometimes survivors are in the 4 corners of the map and you can only hit 1. Doctor because again, its just fun shocking people. I'll even start joining in on doc laughing. Too bad people dc against them still, I don't even know why they dc against legion.
I also just got freddy and still experimenting, and he's pretty fun when survivors aren't just hiding the whole match. Make your choice and pop pair really will with his teleport to make him a beast, and blood warden and remember me help him a lot in endgame because he loses half his power.

I orginally mained Claudette. Partly because I want Selfcare. But alot of it was because I really liked her back story.
I moved to Feng as I grew a bit more confident. I also liked her perks.
Next was Dwight. Because I liked his perks and back story.
Most recently it's been Nancy. Basically because I love her perks.
Killer wise I was orginally a Wraith main. I was never very good with him though. I tried several others before kind of settling on Pig. There's just something about her that works for me.
0 -
Survivor is CLAUDETTE because she's cute, has good cosmetics, receives frequent cosmetics, and she can be Blendette the ninja or Rainbowbrite the troll depending on your clothes. Plus she's one of the original 4. However I do play Ash and Steve to because I love Evil Dead and Stranger Things.
Killer: It was Trapper because he's the closest to Jason we have in DBD. And Jason is my favorite slasher. But Ghostface is my second favorite slasher so now that he is in the game I main Ghostface.
0 -
As survivor I main Meg because the first time I played the game when it first came out I didn't know how to change characters. When I got her legacy skin, I never switched characters.
As killer I play The Pig because I love the Saw movies and how she squeaks when eating a pallet.
0 -
You’ve caught me!
0 -
I always make/play stealth assassin type characters in games, so Ghostface is a natural fit for me.
Nightmare On Elm Street is my favorite horror series, so that explains Freddy.
0 -
I love Ace and his personality, and his cosmetics. and he's also quiet, so it was like a match made in heaven.
When I play killer, the parts I hate the most are looking for survivors, and how fast gens go. So, I decided to killer main Doctor. Tier 3 Madness just stops everyone from doing things for like 14 seconds (I always use the exhaustion add-on that adds more time), but most importantly, I don't even need to look. That, and the hard yet very satisfying ability to stop survivors from dropping pallets and vaulting is very good.
Not saying he's one of the best killers, but I feel like he is the (second) most underrated (first goes to Bubba. also not the strongest, but way more underrated than he should be).
1 -
Ace because I'm particularly lucky. And Trapper because I'm a masochist.
0 -
Nurse.
Because the skill required to play her and the skill required to counter her.
Sad that Dbd playerbase never wanted to learn stuff but just have ez escapes.
2 -
As a survivor I main Jake because I like his backstory/personality and his perks. I have Nea as a second main because I like her appearance and cosmetics.
For killers I don't main anyone in particular, but Wraith has a special place for me. He's the first killer I played because I'm a stealth enthusiast and I really love his design.
0 -
Claudette i lover her cosmetics and her lore for killer i was a main Trapper but i swapped to Wraith and i felt literally in love with him
0 -
I main Jane because she isn’t a skinny little high schooler and she has excellent fashion (Very fun to mix and match) that gets just enough love where we get more outfits that are CUTE (lol feels bad for Meg mains) and spaced out enough they’re not a drain on the wallet (Nea, Claudette.)
I’m gonna give Plague a shoutout for her excellent design but I wish she got buffed :(
0 -
Ghostface tbh because I honestly just goof around with his smug little masked face peeking around corners.
For serious murdering I use the pig because of the reverse bear traps
0 -
As a survivor, I main Dwight because I love his team based perks. A good Dwight can tip the scales very heavily into survivors hands.
As killer I run Ghostface and Legion. Ghostface because Scream is one of my favorite horror films of all time and his ability is incredibly fun to use.
And Legion because once you get a feel for their limitations, you can have some insane map pressure.
0 -
My killer main is Michael Myers simply because I have always been a huge fan of the character and films...it's the whole reason why I got the game. My survivor main is Ace because I like his tuxedo and panama hat. I just think he's a pretty cool guy with some class and style :)
0 -
Claudette. She just looks so innocent and cute and her cosmetics are the most modern and actually look good (Besides Meg's).
Hag because of her lore and the fun builds she can do. Her cosmetics are also pretty nice.
0 -
As killer Bubba, because I'm a little bit of a petrolhead and thus like anything related to engines including chainsaws. Also I specifically like Bubba because once mastered he allows for some satisfying chainsaw plays whereas Billy just feels... cheesy to me (easy mode).
As survivor Claudette, because she's just super adorable and has some nice cosmestics.
1 -
It was originally Hag because I love trap killers and Hag was the single best at it when I started. She was also cool being more monster-plant-creature than just human, and I loved teleporting with the traps. Freddy is a close 3rd now because of his trap rework.
I moved onto Nurse because not only was she effective she was incredibly fun. Blinking to move and learning how to read an area in an instant after blinking became addicting and very fun to master. If I was failing in a game it was almost entirely my fault usually. I was in control of how well I was doing and that was something that other killers don't have for me. I can only do that with Hag in lower elo's despite knowing her very well. She just doesn't have the tools to counter SWF like Nurse does. Plus blinking out of the basement and onto someone from BBQ is the best.

What made me Main Laurie Strode and Myers..
Halloween 1978.
1 -
(DMC) Legion, he looks like the punisher
0 -
I don't main survivors because they are all the same, but most of my perks are on Meg, so shes the one I play the most.
For killer it was Freddy. Nightmare on Elm Street has always been my fav movie, so even when it was bad old Freddy I still mained him.
0 -
I started as killer.
- My first was Spirit because i like how she looked
- Billy is just fun to play and zooming around is neat
- Freddy's dream world looks cool
I main Feng because as a killer her screams were the most pleasing to listen to and i grew to like her. I rarely play survivor so i dont really change, Feng is good enough.
0 -
Myers. I bought the game due to Myers. I saw the original Halloween in theaters with my parents when I was around 5 years old, and it started my life-long fandom of the Slasher genre.
1 -
At first I didn’t “main” any killer and just bounced around between them. But then Hag became my number 1 for a really stupid reason. She was my first killer to get tier-3 BBQ, so I used her as my main source of bloodpoints! Then I got to be pretty good with her. Now she’s my main!
0 -
Ive always been drawn towards David’s personality and backstory. I like how they mention that at first glance David just seems like an #########, but when someone gets to know him he gets super protective of them and will go out of his way to help his friends.
0 -
I don't main any killer as they all have things I like and play whoever I feel like at the time.
Survivor well I mained Claudette for a good and then Meg, Jake, Dwight onto Feng, Kate and then Ash
I'm a bit of an altaholic 😛.

I main the Doctor. I tend to be very methodical, meticulous and cautious, and slowly building up madness to find and debilitate survivors while keeping a close watch on my territory and slowly exhausting all of the pallets... he fits my playstyle perfectly.
0 -
The doctor was my go to when i first started playing DBD. Back then i struggled with finding survivors period. So his static field was all i ever wanted. He was the closest thing to having training wheels for me. And his shock therapy was also and still is the most enjoable thing about him for me. Getting to hear that cynical laugh when he shocks a survivor is probably why I still love him so much.
But these days i enjoy playing as the Plague and would consider her my new main. I enjoyed the idea of a ranged power but sucked donkeys when it came to playing Huntress. So her Vile Purge and Corrupt Purge being a stream projectile is great. She offers some area denial and some interesting mechanics which foreshadowed the Doctor. I'll always love The doctor and his laugh, but The Plague is more fun to play for me these days.
