How Likely Is It That Your Main/Favorite Character For Survivor or Killer Gets Replaced?
Do you think you have found your specific main/favorite character in the game or do you think your main is still waiting to be added? Trapper has been my main since the beginning. However, for my favorite survivor, Dwight was my main at first until Ace took over for my favorite survivor spot.

My current favorite will never be replaced. They are my favorite character hands down.
The moment I saw Ace, I knew there was something special. His gray hair, his cheeky smile, his finger guns... I knew from that moment Ace would be the one for me. It's not a perfect relationship. I have been tempted with the likes of Steve or Cheryl, but I come back to that happy-go-lucky beef cake every time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Likely. My current favorite could be replaced as soon as the next chapter coming out.
I think Myers was my first favourite killer, but that's just due to me being a huge life-long Halloween fan.
Afterwards, I enjoyed playing Clown the most. But I think it's just because I like the Clown character and lore.
At the moment, I usually use Leatherface with a good build of Surveillance, Corrupt Intervention, BBQ&C and Pop.

As survivor: Very possible, I mean, i dont have a main in the first place, but currently im choosing between Cheryl and Ash
As killer: Most possibly never, Demo is a good boy and it thrills me every time I play him.

Unlikely. They would have to be a very interesting character for me to replace my current favorite.
I said this before on a different thread, but my main for survivor, Ace, was actually originally meant to be a temporary main something I forgot about for years until just recently.
In 2016 I wasn't attached to the original four survivors very much, and the next two, Nea, and Laurie didn't captivate me either. When the trailer for Chapter 3 of Flesh and Mud dropped and I saw Ace something clicked with me about that character like nobody else before. Although I thought for sure somebody "more cool" would come along so I decided he'd probably be a temporary pick as a main.
But nobody else ever did, and over time I became more and more attached to the Lucky Bastard, and the thought of ever having a new main was completely forgotten and disregarded.
I hit a new milestone with Ace yesterday actually, I now own every single cosmetic that you can possibly purchase for him with Iridescent shards. Every cosmetic that you could ever earn for free for the character in the shop, during events like the moonrise event or recent 4th anniversary, and the one shirt he got in the 2nd tome of the rift, I've got it all, and I'm pretty happy about it.
He's got maybe 4 or 5 cosmetics locked behind a paywall for auric cells, and I don't doubt that at some point in the future I'll grab at least maybe one or two of them.
The only thing that could ever tear me away from being an Ace main, would be a Scream Paragraph Chapter that introduces Randy Meeks as a brand new survivor. Then and only then would I have a serious contender to replace my main for survivor, but people always go nuts about Sidney Prescott just because she's the final girl and lead role so I hardly think that would ever happen unfortunately.
As for my killer main, ever since 2016 I had one in spirit, but he wouldn't actually show up in the game until 3 years later in 2019: Ghostface. I like playing other killers for sure, but I'll always call myself a Ghostface main no matter what, and absolutely nobody could ever replace him for the role of my Killer main. If nothing else than to rub it into the faces of anyone and everyone who ever told me he'd never make it into Dead By Daylight.

No. Never.
Huntress is too cool.
I mained her back when my only teachable was Devour Hope, and I versed Red Ranks abusing a SWF bug to face Brown and Yellow Ranks.
I mained her through her Hatchet hitbox nerf, when you could throw Hatchets through Survivors and miss.
I'll main her when she gets a red cooldown meter that keeps her from throwing more than one Hatchet every 20 seconds and her add-ons become her garbage teachables but even worse (Very Rare add-on that shows you the aura of Survivors in the basement for three seconds when you're 32 meters away from the basement and hit a Survivor from 20 meters away with a Hatchet when?).
Why? She's a tall and buff one woman army who raised herself alone in the Russian wilderness, she's the first and as of yet still the only Killer that can yeet Death at people from across the map, and I have all the Killer perks in the game on her.
As for Nea and Quentin; they have beanies. Beanies!
'Nuff said.

They gave me everything I could possibly dream of with Cheryl, and I'm still playing Steve lol. So yeah.

These kind of polls/questions are hard because when there is multiple people to choose from i ususally have at least a top 5 with any game for that matter.
In this order
1.Kate Denson
2. Jane
3. Nea
4. Chreyl/Lisa more Lisa though
5. Feng min

I don't have a main. I just use whoever has dailies or rift challenges, and otherwise use all of the good items/add-ons/offerings for my character with the weakest inventory/perks so I can prestige them.

I say neutral because I play everyone I don't just play one character all the time. Even the characters im not strongest with.

right now my “mains” are spirit and plague, but i cannot call them main because i play other killers very often, but these two are the ones i enjoy most and play most often.

Never say never, they might come up with a character I can't resist. That being said I thoroughly enjoy The Legion, it is so thrilling to turn a bad match around with a good FF. For survivor I picked Kate when I started playing because I love her style. I do stray from both my mains but end up picking them the most.

I play Steve or Quentin. I like both of their characters but there’s currently no survivor that I’m just like absolutely hyped about. No “dream” character has been added for me yet.
If they added Dean Winchester, then I would be able to say I have a forever main.

Nurse forever, never gonna tire to ######### about the bugs until it is fixed. Nothing comes close to her.
Survivor i don't really have a fav. All p3 and just use what outfit i feel like.

Ghostface and Freddy are staying my mains for sure. I've loved the Elm Street and Scream as well as the Halloween movies far before I started playing DBD. I bought the game in the first place for Michael Myers in fact but after adding Ghostface, I started playing Michael less. As for Freddy, I loved old Freddy even though he was quite weak and even though he's very strong now to the point where most of the community dislikes him, I'm still sticking with him.

On killer, I'm still trying everyone. So far it's Pig. I love her aesthetic, utility, versatility, traps, stealth, & snoot boops. Plus I seem to do so well with her, it amazes me she gets kind of a bad rep.
For survivor, it was originally Nancy because my husband was playing Steve. He no longer likes Steve, because he's loud and annoying. :( So, for a bit it was Feng, then Nea, and now Cheryl. I haven't P3 a single character yet, and considering how good hers look, it might just be her. I could be swayed though if a character is added that really matches my aesthetic needs, but I'm a long time Silent Hill fan girl.

For Survivor, it would need to be a really interesting character for me to drop Adam. There's just too much I like about him.
As for Killer, there would have to be a character who can transform into a panther-like beast for me to even CONSIDER dropping Doctor. Or maybe a Xenomorph, emphasis on the maybe.

I started the game only playing survivor and Jake has been my main since the beginning and always will be. For killer though I started playing when Freddy came out and he was replaced by the Deathslinger. Pretty sure I'm gonna stay as a Deathslinger main though.

My main for survivor has been Ace since the game was free on PS+. I wanted someone who wasn't a quirky teen, someone experienced and chill who could dress promptly. Some of his cosmetics are indeed weird, but if you get your hands on a trilby hat with shades and a pineapple shirt, you look like a million bucks. Followed by the lucky rabbit pants to let people know luck was always your partner in crime.
For killer however, it was first Leatherface, then Hillbilly, Pig, Spirit, Legion, and currently Freddy. Freddy has been my favorite by far and I have Behaviour to thank for making him from one of the worst, to one of the best killers.

Ace forever, It was the first one that I leveled up and now its the only one that I have P3 all perks.
I don't have a main killer, I love them all (except Hillbilly).

100% chance of my current favorite getting replaced. None of the current characters in game are appealing to me.
I'm replacing Billy not gonna main him anymore ######### the nerfs

Okay, so I have two answers to be honest.
For Survivor, Jeff forever. Jeff is love, Jeff is life.
For Killer, honestly I'm starting to feel burnt out on playing Killer. Like, none of the Killers are fun anymore since they keep murdering them or they're not strong enough in the first place.
If they added Leprechaun though, he would 100% be my main. No matter how bad he was, no matter how much people made fun of me for it, I would be a tiny little irish man that rhymes at people menacingly.

Nea has been my main survivor for 3.5 years, that won't change, especially since they keep coming out with some really nice cosmetics for her.
Killer I've never really had a main since I play them all, but nurse and plague are my favs and have been for a while.

Jeff is just a dude, and a pretty chill looking one at that. He's also a cool guy.
I've flipped killers frequently though. When I first started playing it was Myers, then Doctor for a long ass time, then Wraith, then Slinger, now Pyramid. Pyramid Head though feels really slick, I don't think I'll drop him for a while. Punishment has a much more instant satisfaction than the redeemer, while still filling the reason why liked the Redeemer.

I used to Main Freddy, and oh boo hoo I didn't really like the remake of him much. Sorry if I sound mean I just have been told by a lot of people that new Freddy is here to stay and that is how it is. So I probably will just change mains when a new one comes out.

Unless we get a new Japanese girl, Yui will always be my main.
I doubt anyone will replace Long Leg Myers as my favorite killer, even less if he gets a shirtless cosmetic like David did.

getting a good punishment hit on survivors with Pyramid Head is the best feeling, until we get a killer who's more satisfying to play, I'm sticking with my boy.
yes I know we have Huntress, I've gotten some sweet hits with her but I play on console sooo...

As soon as I saw the reveal of the Silent Hill chapter, I found my main. Pyramid Head is my absolute favorite horror icon.
Unless they add a very VERY cool original character, I don't see myself changing my main.

ash williams can never be replaced because there is no one like him.

Neutral ground. It's possible that they get replaced.
I said neutral because while I do main Kate a fair amount of the time I like to play as many other characters, like Claudette, Feng, Cheryl, Zarina, Jane, and Yui. Basically any of the women that have cute cosmetics lol. And since Meg is getting a cool looking dress in the rift pass I might start to play as her also. Really as long as it is a female survivor I will play them because I like to look good if I'm going to lose (although some of the guys do have some cool cosmetics). I know that may seem like such a shallow thing to base mains off of but for me I like to have fun with the cosmetics so essentially that plays a big role in who I play as. So it's possible that the next character might replace all my other mains for a while but it's also possible they won't.
