The Killers/Survivors You Just *Can't* Play?

For whatever reason.

As for me, it's:

  • Plague. Man, I've tried watching videos and learning her as I go, but I eventually gave up. I like to be a speedy or at least surprising killer, not a walking sprinkler system.
  • Trapper. It feels like a need a brain three sizes bigger to even grasp when and where to put those traps.
  • Myers. Against a weak team, everyone dies before I've got my socks on. Against a strong team I get to trudge around being entirely useless for half the game.

    Killer's:

    • Oni (too boring for me)

    Survivors:

    • Jeff (too loud and too tall)

    I love seeing a Jeff. Such a big, appealing target :).

    For Killer, Hag. I just dont enjoy her gameplay at all. Sadly I do not have all Perks on her, but a lot of Cakes, so I guess I will need to play her eventually.

    For Survivors, Jane and Nancy. Both are really ugly IMO and I cant stand looking at them (or hearing them, when it comes to Jane).

    I cannot play Nurse because of motion sickness, which sucks because she's one of the few I got legacy on.

    I play all survivors and all killers...

    Apart from blight.

    I play on ps4 and optimisation is so bad that i feel like he is impossible to play on console. My least favourite character out of all the survivors and killers by far.

    as far as “can’t” goes:

    Huntress:

    those hatchets seem to have a mind of their own... I throw them an they jus go wherever they feel like going 😆😒

    Jane Romero:

    Absolute least fav character in the whole game. I do like many of her cosmetics, (Windswept Wonder hair, Pink Merriment sweater, an her pink black lace skirt is my fav look for her)

    but that Pinstripe Pants suit (especially the grey!) is completely the worst! I even don’t like it to the extent that I almost want to leave lobby’s whenever someone is wearing that. Also, Her deep, bassy voice sfx are the least appealing amongst all the survivors, imo.

    I frequently get Jane players in Solo matches who play selfishly like their goal is to not help the team. That’s jus my experience tho.

    Need to get matches w more helpful, team friendly Jane mains.

    Jeff and Jane because it's like playing with reverse Iron Will while uninjured. Grunt and snuffle while uninjured, walking or running.

    Claudette because I have self respect.

    Deathslinger cause of fps and lag issues when activating a power on consoles so aiming.

    Survivor

    Feng and clad they irritates me with there screams and moans that I would play any other survivors.

    Killer - Plague, I just can’t take her seriously and end up messing around in a match.

    Survivor - Most female Survivors, feels way too small.

    Nurse literally gives me a migraine, so I can't play her. I can't even watch videos of other people playing Nurse. I won't play Deathslinger, because I don't like shooting games. I wish I could play Huntress, but it's so hard to learn.

    On the survivor side, I hate Jake for no rational reason and, if I have to play him for a daily or something, I make him wear his worst outfit to balance it out.

    I can play plague she's just hella nasty so I don't. I cannot play Spirit. If I have to do a daily for her it's the most harrowing experience.

    Billy, Oni and Blight- Maybe I just haven't practiced enough, but I just hate their controls. I put them all together because their controls feel really similar to me, but god, I'm just terrible at those high mobility killers. Give me Huntress or Pig over them any day.

    Survivors- Claudette, because I just don't like her cosmetics. I have the same issue with Meg, but at least she has Deathgarden mask to make up for it.

    Doc, it's purely because I get a headache if I play him and I struggle when I play against him as a survivor as well, it's the noises and the lights that cause me issues.

    I don't enjoy playing as Hag, but I can play her (only for dailies though).

    There's not many survivors that I won't play, but I do prefer to play the female characters - I find the movements to be smoother, less bulky. It's probably all in my head, it's just what I feel when playing as them.

    I can't play any regular M1 killers but....I'm pretty good with Wraith so he's the exception.

    Ghostface, Doctor, Billy NOW, Oni, Trapper, any M1 killer I just can't.

    I Love Nurse, Spirit, and Huntress because they require survivors to think outside of the box.

  • CalamityJane
    CalamityJane Member Posts: 487

    Yeah totally forgot about that, since his new chase music I absolutely can't stand Doctor with the jarring repetitive noise every second for the entire match.

    I LOVE Stranger Things, so when Demo released I po=oured hours upon hours onto him. I probably have 200 hours on him (my second most time on any killer) yet I'm still absolute trash with him. I tried Bronx's guide but it didn't help. Simply put, I can not play Demo good.

    For survivors, I just have way too much emotional trauma with Feng Min to play her. Won't get into it, but either Feng's were toxic as heck flashlight clickers that contribute nothing to the team and DC after they get downed ~20 seconds in, or they pop 3 gens in the first 80 seconds with literally no control on my side. Every time I think about playing her a thought pops into my mind saying "do you want to be like them?" I'm sure there are some Feng players that are decent, but she's been my consistent bad luck charm for every ~900 hours I've been playing.

    Nurse.

    Too much wheezing, i'd rather hear Hillbilly's Chainsaw 24/7 than SCREEEEE HUEEEEE!

    Also, set-up Killers are just not my jam.

    I can't play ghostface if my life relied on it. I do better with myers though.
