    The Huntress

    I love me some Huntress. It's kinda nice seeing a female killer (I know the Nurse exists, but, well, she is like, strangling herself with cloth over her head and we see none of her features other than her legs) that has a freaking great lore. Although I don't have her, I love playing against her. And in general, well, the fact that she's ranged is great.

    The Huntress.

    Not too great playing as her, but I really like her humming and going up against her always has me, and anyone I play with when I do, on edge. Her frame when running is a fearful sight to behold.

    She is actually alright now.

    Like you can actually place traps as a mind game or to stop chases without taking too much time.

    No poor Hag, I love her and the way you can play her and mindgame survivors. I really like to play nurse (but I need more practise with her) and doctor is so much fun!

    The trapper is my favourite hands down, but he just isn’t viable in high ranked play. I made a thread about a possible semi-rework that could immediately bring him out of bottom tier.

    The Huntress

    She's my baby since I've started to play the game in May even though I suck playing her. I think she is really hard to master on console (can't find survivors most of the time, lol!) but it is so satisfying when you can get a hit with a hatchet. Also can' get enough of her humming.

    I like the huntresses design, I think her mask is good and her axe. Her gameplay is very fun and when you are swinging around a big fire axe you defiantly feel like you have a lot of power as the killer not just a player. The throwing axe, in most situations is now in readable useful but in some situations it can make the game(against survivors doing generators or you can get someone being saved of the hook if in distance).

    Clown is my favorite original Killer.  Love his backstory, how creepy he is, love his look and his ability ia really good and disturbing in the idea of intoxicating Survivors and wanting their finger!

    The rest I love a ton, ranked from following fav to least fav, though with the exception on the last one listed, they're almost tied with each other

    Spirit: AMAZING look, excellent background and amazing perks, with a great ability!  Something about playing her is satisfying

    Wraith: Bing Bong Boi is a great character, fun ability to mess around with Survivors...it's super addicting to Dong dat Bell.  With other Perks, becomes quite the powerhouse.  Kinda feel sorry for his character

    Hag: Gruesome backstory and while playing VS her can be a nightmare, she is a blast to play as.  Her Traps and some amazing perks lead her to dominate games. Needs more cosmetics.

    Trapper:  OG Killer, while not super strong, I love his mask and Survivors getting stuck in traps is VERY satisfying!

    Huntress: Excellent design, great backstory and the humming is just the cherry on top. The Hatchet ability ia great, though can be tough to be great with (console player) only downside is that her Perks are so forgettable, though Huntress Lullaby is a fun one on paper!

    Doctor: originally I didn't like the Doctor and didn't think Id play him at all...after having a Ritual to play as him...def changed my mind!  A great backstory, one of the GOOFIEST laughs & pallet stun sounds that makes me laugh a lot.  I like the originality of his Treatment mode and Shock ability! Adds a fun twist to the game

    Nurse: One of,my favorite designed Killers from her look to her story, she's all primed to being a top favorite for sure!  However, since I factor in my game experience playing as these Killers, with ranking them...I have not played Nurse yet.  Since I play on console and need to really devote time practicing her unique playstyle AND the hinderence of console controller...Nurse will be one of the last Killers to play as.

    Hillybilly: I do not like playing as Hillbilly.  Not a fan of his backstory, his look is only ok with the Scarecrow outfit and his ability...just bores me.  Use it to zip around the map, apply some pressure or ride the ass of Survivors and get an easy down.  I know their areare mains of Hillbilly for having fun and some for being able to down Survivors fast but for me......me......BLEH

    Nurse.

    I haven't bothered to learn her yet, but I really like her design and power. The spirit design and power is really good too.

    Poll doesn't have the Spirit who bestowed haunting grounds and rancor which I look forward to adding to the arsenals of my killers.

    Close second is Huntress though. Coz I want to bury the hatchet... in your head.

    Trapper just brings the pain, but Wraith is slowly replacing him as my new main... PS4 Nurse is so frustrating to use she barely gets any playtime from me.

    P.S. @Giddawid there’s no Clown represented on the poll mang what gives

    My favorite is the Trapper. The mechanic is really enjoyable, and getting someone to run straight into a trap is one of the most satisfying things in the game.

    Edit: I have no idea why I apparently voted for the Huntress originally on this. Her current hitboxes are obnoxious.
    Edit2: And apparently there's no way to change your vote.

    I love the Huntress, she's one of my main killers. Her backstory is probably the best out of all the killers, her design is great, her power (if mastered) is deadly and let's not forget about the lullaby: I love how it changes as time passes and the VA has a very good voice overall. Anna is my big butch Russian wife and I'll always love her.

    The Doctor

    Doctors a scary one, I like him cause he looks and sounds the most evil out of the rest. His ability when playing against incompetent survivors and I shock everyone so much, the shocking is everywhere on my screen, and I laugh so much I get that feeling of "man now I know that everyone is scared of me I can capitalize on that." That feeling of overwhelming power is so fun to play on. I also love his run animation its so terrifying, I love his laugh though it needs to be a little longer and the tone lowered, I like his ability even if it kind of needs a buff, he is debatably the biggest killer in the game, I love the doctor coat dropping to his shin that makes him look bigger , His cosmetics are crazy. He's just a really disturbing thing that smacks people with a huge metal spiked dildo. There are just a few things that bugs me about him, I don't like his first person view of his weapon, the successful hit animation doesn't look good or right, the cosmetic weapons do not impress me because personally I like medium sized simple weapons, the closest thing that I like to use is his base stick. I don't play this game to kill or get the most bloodpoints out of its to be scary, and doctor is frightening to play against. I really don't like how this game is focusing on competitivity and not horror related things, the devs are so focused on balance that they forgot that the killers are supposed to impower the survivors and they should feel the horror of the killer being so close to you. That they know they will destroy you. But that's all just my opinion.
