Who do you believe is the best designed Killer and the worst designed Killer?
I believe that Blight is the best designed Killer in the game. His power is very strong but also very fair and offers up the survivor a lot of counterplay. His addons are also really strong and fun to use, and when your not constantly sliding off of stuff then he's in my opinion the most fun Killer to play as. I believe Oni is also one of the best designed in the game for the same reasons Blight is, fair and balanced counterplay but a strong power with good addons (except for scalped topknot, that addon is deserves a nerf.)
Now on the other hand there are a lot of badly designed Killers, some of which to note are Spirit, Nurse, Pig, Trickster, Legion, etc. The top 3 worst designed Killers in my opinion are Nurse, Spirit, and Trickster. Nurse ignores the basic fundamentals of the game like pallets and vaults and when the player using her masters her she is borderline uncounterable and there is nothing you can really do. Spirits power is awfully designed due to how little information the survivors have to work with which just ends up resulting in extremely unfun and unfair gameplay. Trickster has almost all the same issues as old legion (Power that is both simultaneously oppressive and extremely weak; can and will down a survivor no matter how good at the game; due to previous statements buffing his power directly can result in more issues.)

I think Oni is the best designed killer. He's well balanced while also having a strong power. He also has really good addons.
The worst designed killer is the Twins. Their power can be either really strong or very weak. Their addons aren't that great, either.

Def a big agree from me
Oni's power is ridicously strong, but he has to earn it. It creates a fun back and forth and it's not impossible to counterplay either because of the way it works
Twins is by far the worst designed, the concept is one of the most unique in the game but in execution it's a clunky, poorly balanced mess of a power that wasn't even finished on release. They didn't even consider survivors using lockers against Victor, that addition was an afterthought.

When it comes to power I have to go with Oni. He's really fun for both survivors when it comes to gameplay
Worst is twins.
Asthetically I personally really like Spirits appearance.
Asthetically I am not a fan of trapper's new design.

Demo is the best design imo as he has good chase strength and good mobilty
Worst is nurse since she ignores the game

Old Billy is the best designed killer.
And the worst designed Killer are the Devs for killing Billy!

I'd say the best-designed killer is Oni.
-He has a strong power which still has functional counterplay. He's fun to use thanks to his awesome speed and lethality (plus the katana/kanabo weapon combo is pretty cool) and he's usually enjoyable to play against because his power offers a lot of opportunities for both predictive and reactive play from survivors.
As far as worst designed, I think it's Twins pretty handily.
-Twins have a playstyle that's relatively reliant on slugging and camping to be effective. I don't think they remain all that enjoyable to play for most people once the novelty of being a two-part killer wears off. Plus besides the silliness of kicking Victor, they aren't really all that fun to play against either.

Best Designed in terms of balance is Oni in my opinion. Without topknot.
Worst designed in terms of design is Twins as they are flawed to very core. Impossible to buff or nerf enough to be healthy.
Worst in terms of fun at high level/fun factor = Spirit or Blight or Slinger. The most oppressive killers in s chase. And the chase is the only fun part of the game.
Blight is my least favorite killer to go against personally. And to play as..and aesthetically i think he's the only killer who couldn't be scary or intimidating. I hate everything about him. Although partially because of those who play him and the tendency to find a new exploit every day..or the fact every Blight has the same build.
Sorry for the rant. I just want a fun game. As a Killer main, I'm tired of reddit or forum people considering boring and op as the same thing. A bad killer or "balanced" killer can have a boring design.

Best: Nurse
Worst: Probably Blight or Legion, mostly due to their names

Best designed: Hillbilly or Demogorgon
Worst designed: Freddy or Pyramid Head

Best: Billy, by a LOOOOOOOOOOONG shot. Oni is an honorable mention.
Worst: Hag, no question.

I thought the question is about the appearance not power.
For me, Killer with something for Survivor to interact with is a good design dor me (most of them are low tier sadly):
- Plag: the decision to heal yourself and doom the others. Though her power should not be controlled by Survivor
- Pig: for me this is the best design yet, abit of slow down, bit of stealth, with unique special attack. No perk on her is broken (like Stridor spirit)
- Trapper: if his build isnt basement focus though.
- Demo: pay time to seal portal or risking him teleport around.
- Nemesis: similar to Plag, heal yourself may increase his power.
I always wish all killers have something for Survivor to interact that if they pay time to work on them, it directly weaken killer abit.

Best - Oni
Worst - Trickster

for best i think Oni, he has everything map pressure, need to charge for power, strong and balanced power
worst is nurse, they thought it was good idea to put killer who break balance in their first DLC
BHVR do some risk on their 1-2 nd years thats why most meta come from that era

Worst designed killer: the killer who would have killed this game if he was more popular back in the days ... the H A G ! Clap clap ...

Old Hillbilly was the best designed killer in the game by far. Add-ons only needed changing.
Worst designed is Spirit. I don't think I need to explain why.

Best - Old Billy :(
Worst - Twins. Everything I could say has probably already been said 100 times before

Best: Oni, old Billy
Worst Designed: Twins (I still enjoy playing them tho) and New Billy

best designed is definitely oni and worst is hag

The best was either Old Billy or Freddy on release.
The worst... either Twins or Legion. And Ghostface, obviously.
1 -
ghostface is so weirdly designed imo
0 -
Sure is! His PTB version was literally the weakest killer in Dead by Daylight's history and his current version is just broken.
Not "OP" broken, but "why can't I reveal him" broken
2 -
especially if he's leaning also I dislike going against ghost caught on tape users
1 -
Well, I don't like going against Ghostface in general :)

Old Freddy was super unique which I liked
I also think Nemesis zombies are really cool and totally unique but everything else about him seems to be some combination of other characters. Tentacle is like a lighter but quicker version of PH punishment, status effect is like a minor Plague sickness, searching boxes for the antidote is like a watered down mix of pig/freddy/plague. The only really different thing is the zombies which is kinda sad because you don't interact with them much besides killing them for mutation and hoping they're where you want them to be
Worst goes to Hag for sure

I would agree with Blight if he wasnt so buggy, but in his current state I cant say he's the "best" designed probably most fun though, I'd probably say that Oni is the current best designed killer. Worst currently is Twins IMO

Oni or Blight for best designed killer, they are both fantastic.
Twins for the worst for sure. They excel at what everyone has been hating since the beginning of the game. I will say it again, it is absolutely amazing how BHVR managed to create such abominations that are good at what their players have hated for ages. I hate this killer with a passion.

Best designed for me not based on strength is probably clown, i love his laugh and appearance, i also love the idea of his bottles but they should be separate count, poison and antidote.
Worst - Ghostface or any stealth killer only because spinechill wrecks their entire premise which to me is just broken.
I've been playing twins lately and i'm having a blast! I think victor's respawn time needs to be lengthened by at least 20 seconds if he is kicked though, right now i really don't care if he is squished. They are definately very strong killers. Why all the hate for them though?
