Reaction to the killer
I'd like to know from other members of the community what killers they are happy getting placed against and what killers they hate going against.
I personally like going against the Hillbilly as he is very challenging but no impossible to escape.
The killer I hate getting put against the most is Huntress as her hitboxes can sometimes make the match unjust due to the amount of undeserved hits.
I'm curious to know the communities thoughts on the killers they get and their reason for liking/disliking them.

Is there any specific reason for liking and not liking those certain killers?

I like alot of killers where you have to mind game against them, it's not just looping them around a pallet or a TL wall.
Ghostface and Myers are up there because I always laugh while playing against them. I use spinechill and half of the time I run right into them.
Trapper is a meme to me because of Sam.
All the average games are there because the killer has a basic mechanic which doesn't really change how I play.
Clown and Bubba do change how I loop, but Clown is an easy match usually, and I always get frustrated when being downed by a Bubba.
Plague and Hag because their powers are annoying.
Freddy because he is Freddy.

Spirit is not enjoyable when they have god add-ons IMO. I def agree with throwing Freddy down there though.

I will always stand by Hag being the most annoying killer to go against due to most of them, I repeat "MOST OF THEM" trapping the hook to oblivion.
But Huntress and her hitboxes will always ruin a game for me and make me enjoy it less.

I enjoy the classics: huntress and trapper
My personal least favorite is probably Spirit

Leatherface. I ######### hate Leatherface. More than literally any other killer. Almost every LF runs Nemesis/PWYF and it's just super ######### brutal. It's not even OP, it's just infuriating how easy it is to get chainsaws with that combo. Even Freddy is harder than Nemesis/PWYF Leatherface.
On a similar note, Hit-And-Run Wraith/Ghostface. There's no chases, no real gameplay. Just do gens, heal, and hope the killer isn't reading you on Nurses. Great, real engaging. I feel so outplayed.
Other than that? Don't care. It's not about the character but the player. Spirit? Sure. Freddy? I guess. Billy? Okay. Nurse? Absolutely.

Fun to play against:
Myers (Always keeps you on your toes)
Pig (At least the ones that are good and don't tunnel)
Legion (Being injured doesn't automatically mean they're trying to kill you)
Not Fun To Play Against:
Doctor (Zero chance of stealth once you hit that tier 2. Never feels very rewarding. not a huge fan of the chase music either)
Wraith (Bing Bong, I'm pretending to be gone! But I'm really camping the hook. Least fun stealth mechanic by far.)

Personally I hate killers that camp all game but Wraith is by far the most annoying killer to do it.

Ah yes, the most lethal of all killers.

I don't like killers that remove my agency or force me to stop playing in order to hold a button. Doc, Legion, Deathslinger are my least favorites.
Doctor really annoys me. He isn't particuarly hard to loop, contrary to popular belief. Plus the constant screaming, madness sound fx, and having to snap out of it all the time is super annoying.
Legion and Deathslinger are kind of the same to me. Legion will always get the first hit, and they can drag a game out for an obscene amount of time while accomplishing absolutely nothing.
I don't like being reeled in by Deathslinger. It was cool the first few times it happened. Deep Wound is never fun.
0 -
I personally like Deathslinger as he isn't as easy to loop as other killers and can end chase early with his range and reel, but as a survivor that is very stealthy Doc makes me change up my play style a lot.

I think I've finally figured out what combination I don't like. Fast killers that are also lethal. The faster/more lethal it is, the worse it is.
For that reason I really really don't like playing against Hillbilly, Oni, Spirit or Freddie (yes his teleport counts for me). Even Leatherface is distasteful.
On the flip side, I don't mind playing against GF or Myers who are very lethal but not fast or Legion who is fast but not lethal.
Though I also don't like Deathslinger. Idk, the dude has way too good of a 1v1 and frequently gets super campy so once he finds you it's nearly impossible to get away from him again even post hook.

Fav: Ghost Face. He scares me sometimes. Myers is a close second but he hasn't made me yelp yet.
Least Fav: Huntress. She's just my problem area with that range, and with lag delay, getting sniped behind structures feels far too common. Harder to avoid. She has my favorite character design though, and is probably a blast to play once you get the hang of it.

Hmm, killer I like the most would either be a good nurse who doesn't slug from the start of the game (very conditional to find) or a huntress with good ping.
Nurse is still incredibly strong and arguably the strongest in the game, and can easily decimate teams. Therefore it's fun when she toys with us and gives us chances to do things instead of just insta slug. Huntress on good ping is the most balanced killer. She rewards mindgames and winning loops whilst punishing mistakes well.
Least favourite would be spirit, hands down. What they changed wasn't enough and she needs a full entire base kit rework for her to be any fun to face. Player her doesn't feel fun because I know what the team are going through. Especially if they have stridor and remove all coubterokay whilst you're injured. I have a personal vendetta against that killer and hate her.

I will say this again in this thread: Remove Spirit.

Every Huntress that I get put against with bad connection always seem to bring iri heads, infantry belts and an ebony, that is why no killer will be hated by me more than her.

Killers like Huntress,Oni etc. can be really fun and exciting if someone plays them well but can be just as boring if the players isn't good with them.
Bubba,Wraith etc. are alright.Nothing really special about them.Maybe Ghostface and his reveal mechanic but i didn't have much problems with that so far.
Spirit,Clown and the rest are just really unfun/boring to verse because there isn't much you can do on your side to counter/outplay them other than doing gens.

- Demo - Most balanced killer in the game, and feels very fair.
- Myers - Again, feels fair. However him charging off of my teammates during Solo, then backrevving me puts him below demo.
- Pig - Pig is fun because she has a risk reward built in with the Jigsaw boxes. Do I do an important gen and start my timer, or do I go ahead and get it off.
- Hillbilly is pretty fine, except for his addons.
- Nurse is fun as long as she isn't a 20k hour nurse.
- Huntress' cross map snipes are pog, even getting hit by them are.
- I like Oni, he's too strong for Solo though imo, so that puts him lower
- Plague is one of my new favorite killers to go against since her buff. There's an actual risk/reward with the fountains.
- I'm a doc main, so I'm biased.
- Hag is only this high because I never see her.
- Bubba adds an "oh #########, where's the nearest pallet/window"
- Wraith is fine
- Trapper is wraith, but with traps
- Spirit is fine if you have iron will and she doesn't have stridor. If one of those aren't true then she can piss right off though
- Gunslinger is up there because he's new, he seems uncountable on some maps and too easily countered on others though.
- Legion just makes me hold M1 more, kinda cringe
- Drop pallets slightly earlier, very interesting
- The soul reason I run Spine Chill. Also his power is literally busted, so that's just great
- Freddy
- Counters one of the few counters for spirit.

Make your choice +trap on the hook is nice combination so just crouch 🤷🏻♂️
0 -
I never said I don't know how to counter it but that doesn't detract from how annoying it is.

Ghostface and wraith power is not used for chase. If they chase with them, they're gonna lose because there's nothing to help them in chase.
Yes, ghostface can hide his stain, but once you have mastered hiding red stain with other killer, it really does not have much effect.

I'm not saying anything should change about them, I just hate it personally.

Maybe i wrote a bit too much then.
