    Freddy- overloaded kit, very popular in red ranks so isn't like you get away from him

    Leatherface - badly designed ultimate camper that attracts a lot of nasty players

    Spirit - sweaty killer that seems to give sweaty killers someone easier to 4K with than Nurse

    Plague - don't appreciate her removing healing from the match, also not really into listening to my character vomit every few seconds

    Doctor - annoying, just... annoying

    Hag - 5 traps at hook and other 5 nearby sums up most Hag players

    Pig - almost always tunnel

    Huntress - attracts sweaty streamers, wonky hit boxes

    Nurse - rare to find the perfect Nurse to actually face. Either they suck and it's too easy or they're good and the match was over faster than the load screen

    Doctor, Ghostface and Pig

    Ghostface especially. I hate fighting stealth killers in general even though I can hear GF's footsteps sometimes for the most part. Pig for her stealth and just how I see so many pigs tunnel people with active traps on. Lastly, Doctor purely because of static blast. I always have to hover near a locker whenever he hooks someone or some time has passed and no one has been chased...

    Freddy is not only un-fun but, as a licensed character, he carries the additional burden of being true to his depiction in the films. The dbd version is not Freddy Krueger. It's some stupid mix of abilities that was meant to compensate for bad game design. Blood puddles? Fake pallets? Teleportation? Not only boring to play but completely fake interpretation of an iconic character.

    I just don't like playing against killers that are Shift + W counterplay, due to how 90% of the killer roaster is weak to this.

    I prefer killers like Spirit and PH

    I always say Doctor and sometimes include Legion in these but..Deathslinger is now up there also.

    Clown, never had a fun match against him even though I win most of the time vsing him.


    Spirit aswell, but it depends, Good player? Fun times, Not so good player..erm

    Forever Freddy or Legion. I hate spending 20 minutes in a match just to have 16,000 BP. Especially Freddy. If they're good, you just aren't gonna get a lot done.

    Yeah I’m new to the game, some maybe in time I’ll adapt but right now stealth killers can go to hell. Idk how they expect us to escape if we can’t hear when they are sneaking up on us. That’s very cheap. Smh

    Doctor.

    For me, it's the Doctor. Simply because he's a hard counter to my Survivor play style. I can't loop, and I know it. Respect to those who can. So I rely on not getting found, and that static burst will get me every time if I can't dip out of his TR quick enough. Conceptually, I think he's great and makes for interesting matches. 2nd would probably be Wraith because of how often I face him, and all he does is just keep me a little extra vigilant. Spirit and Nurse are only annoying in skilled hands, and even then I have to respect the players behind them. Hag was the first killer I mained and prestiged so I only hate facing her with players who don't slow down and approach gems and hooks carefully.

    Clown. I know he's not a strong killer but he's just such a pain to go against. Going slow the whole match and playing every pallet the same way is really boring for me.

    100% agreed, OP! Time to post what I always post on threads like this :D

    I made this before the Twins came out, but I'm honestly still not sure where I'd put them.

    That too; I rarely run without Spine Chill these days.

    Myers I just can't do good against a Myers.

    Here's my list:

    • Legion -- he is obnoxious and it is annoying to be literally mending/healing/etc. all match.
    • Ghostface -- no killer should have a one-shot ability combined with no terror radius. One or the other not both!
    • Doctor -- his base kit prevents stealth and vault/pallet. It should be one or the other not both! He also has madness and skill checks. He doesn't need 500 powers.
    • Bubba -- his new reach is ridiculous.

    Hopefully all of the above get nerfed and soon!

    (Also, killer mains, don't bother replying with "You must be rank 15" or get gud. I've heard it all before. Been to rank 1 many times. I can counter these guys, just don't think it is balanced OR fun.)

    Huntress, Deathslinger, Nurse, Freddy.

    Freddy because he's incredibly boring and really difficult to see. The others because they either lack sufficient counterplay or their counterplay is stealth due to how ridiculously strong they are in chase, which isn't fun for anybody involved.

    Hag would go here if anybody played her. Thankfully, almost nobody does.

    Spirit is pretty close to being on the list as well but I think I just hate the people that play her more than I dislike her -- in that I see Spirits tunnel and run really strong builds more often than other killers.

    I'm going to regurgitate what everyone else is saying and go with Freddy... but also Pyramid Head.

    They annoy me for the same reason: both have too many unique abilities (that goes double for Freddy).

    The majority of Nightmares I've faced seem relatively new, which makes for an easy escape, but their lack of experience doesn't distract from how annoying his abilities are. Between having to run across the map to the alarm clock after going into dream mode and the blood pools... it's always a pain.

    As for PH, it could go either way. The ones I go against are either brand new, or very very experienced w/ a cool skin.

    Why? Is it because you get really good ones? Or hate the RNG of his traps?

    (Not annoyed just interested!)

    I'm a trap magnet. I almost never step in traps that would make sense to be placed there. It's always a random trap in a patch of grass with no pallet, window or gen next to it that gets me mid chase. And it's really dissatisfying for me, especially after a long chase.

    Prepare to see a lot more once the changes go live, and players start giving him a chance again.
