Which killer takes no skill to play?

What was in the chest tho? 👀

Myers is a noob-stomper, but he's far more difficult to play at higher ranks, where survivors are actually skilled and know how to play against him. Saying he requires no skill reveals much more about the OP than it does about Myers.
Playing him at higher levels requires knowledge of survivor spawns on maps to find people quickly to get out of Tier 1 (though the new perk from Nemesis may alleviate that). He's a killer that's absolutely going to have to give up gens over the course of a match (he's a killer that often has a match get down to the last gen or two, even one that he's doing well in). Knowing when to pop your Tier 3 and how to get the most out of it -- particularly when to slug in Tier 3 and when to start hooking -- isn't something you can just know immediately when playing him. It takes experience. While his insta-down can be powerful and can snowball to a win in a hurry, Myers is still just a basic M1 killer who can be looped, thwarted with pallets, and rendered ineffective by good survivors who can break line of sight, stall his stalk, and still pound out gens. At Red Ranks as a survivor, I've been part of games where we've destroyed the Myers simply by knowing how best to delay his stalking and the number of Tier 3's they can pop, and I've been part of games where a very skilled Myers player has turned what looked like a win for us into a 4K by outplaing us when it mattered.
While some killers require more skill than others, none of them require no skill to play.

Oh no, did you tried to open his chest?

The skill floor for all killer is essentially as high as for survivor in terms of learning maps, tiles and looping aka the basics of the game.
Killer additionally have to learn strategies for map pressure were survivor have to learn to play as a team.
The skill ceiling on the other hand can differ like night and day. Wraith for example has a simply power and only relies on m1 hits. Other killer whose M2 is also a form of attack need way more experience. Oni for example is a middle case, he can perform simply with his m1 but his power needs work from him and control once in use.

Yes....
A terrible mistake.

I'm going to disregard the basic skill requirements like knowing how to loop and generally knowing where Survivors are, and focus more on the Killer Powers.
Considering that, i think Legion is the most skill-less of all.
Just press M2 to start running faster (nothing to do with skill), hit them (basic Killer skill requirement), and either stop using it or run to this other Survivor that the game is revealing to you. (Game gives you a location just like that.)
That's not me saying they are super strong, that's a different story.
This is me just deducing how easy they are to get into.
Trapper and Wraith are quite the good starter Killers, but honestly: If Legion was free on every platform, i'd recommend them as a newbie's first Killer.

Sure, Doctor's got an easy way to find you but the real skill is in his shocks, a tool not often utilized to its full potential because it takes a fair bit of practice to master.

Zero Skill 100% profit Killers IMO.
* Bubba.
* Spirit.

I'm sorry but if you guys are red ranks and myers is your pick here you don't belong in red ranks. Myers has slow build up unless of course morons feed him stalk. If you are outside of red ranks lots of killers will feel strong to you because quite frankly you suck still and so do your team. You have not learned all you need yet, you will soon learn how to become a stronger weapon than a killer because survivors are capable of that. if you were truly high rank you would be glad to see myers instead of spirit, nurse, bubba, blight, huntress all day unless of course you specifically like one of those killers. Lol myers no skill 😂😂😂 I done heard it all now.

Oh and to the point every killer on the [BAD WORD] roster takes skill. Just some more than other is the correct response.

Whenever people struggle against a certain killer = the killer has no skill.
Most survivors are stuck on the one way they play and don't adjust to the killer they are facing (the truly unskilled).
Yesterday I went against a really good hag and was shocked that my teammates were playing more calming, crouching, and using flashlights to erase her marks... as a solo q I have never seen that and I have been playing since 2018. It was amazing and we had a really good match!
Most people say Hag is a no skill killer, but those are the people running around and being too bold.
All killers take skill to play decently... I mean, unless its a face camping Bubba ^^" That is for the laughs tho and not to be taken seriously.

None. You need to have some skill to do anything in this game, and that comes from the experience.
Some can be easier or more straight forward like Wraith and Myers.

just cause you can find them easy doesn’t mean it a easy down

Actually maybe Hag takes zero skill 😉 scroll wheel Hags or camping Hags seem extremely easy lol

This is fair. However hags that actually set up an effective web are using skill.

Think I've seen a couple of your posts this week complaining about several killers, it's like you have a personal vendetta with a lot of them. Which killer hurt you today to warrant this post? You're also talking as if this game has a skill ceiling comparable to games such as Mortal Kombat or Moba's for example. When in reality, most of it boils down to good looping , smart power use or just plain holding W or M!.

Eh I would also disagree lol you spawn somewhere, place a few traps and it's the same thing lol
Especially if your using Corrupt. Just look for popular areas such as tiles and pallets.

If you play her strategically, she actually takes a lot of skill.

Makes sense, then.

Every killer takes skill to play. It's how long it takes to master them.

Spirit and Wraith. I decided to play a few games as spirit and get rid of the anniversary cakes she's been hoarding.
Never played her before, only time someone escaped was when there was a team of 4 experienced loopers. And I STILL got two.
Wraith because he's really simple, I mean there's not much too learn except he's great at body blocking. Move fast and l u n g e

It's always people who type "Meyers" making these kind of posts.

Leatherface, there is simply no other candidate for it

Better yet, use Crowd Control/Undying for even more mindless chases. Just hold W and eat through all the pallets.

Hag.
Just pick one side of the map to defend. Trap all the choke points and tiles. And then camp the first survivor you catch.

They all technically take skill to play, but some require very little... you know the two I am talking about.

this game requires no skill to play, only 1% of the player base are actually good.
0 -
Nah still no lol just trapping tiles and pallets takes no skill
1 -
Spirit. Easiest killer in the game.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you are one of the opinions I DO respect on here however I do disagree on this one. I mentioned above my side that all killers require some skill some more than other ofc but some you can pull your base skills from one to the other examples being M1 killers all you have to do is learn cloaking/body blocking, throwing bottles, Static blast/shock timing, etc but Hag, Trapper (demo portals maybe) require a different style completely to learn. Ofc I am not talking about hook camping killers I am referring to strategic trap placements, and the setup required to do that. Hag's also have to understand they are slightly slower so chasing is a learning curve there as well. Like I said just my view on hag a killer I am not a fan of but do like the different level of play she brings.

If you're getting bodied by Michaels every time you face them enough to make a thread complaining, you're not rank 4...

Cheers for the first part in particular mate 👍
I just hate Hag so any chance I can give her ######### tbh lol
0 -
Fair Enough. I used to hate hag too as well as doctor, Nea, and Feng Min. Now I don't really hate anything in this game except everything that don't work right............, Toxic Nea's, and Feng's Voice.

So you don't hate Hag now? 😥😥
