Question: Why people keep saying no-skill for some killers?

Usually people are saying for Freddy, Spirit, Wraith, Twins, Doctor.


All of them m1 killers and people are thinking m1 killers does not need any skill. But how? I mean killers like Blight, Nurse are harder for learn but if learning killer is easy, that makes them braindead or low skill?


I do not think so. You have to still be good at chases. You have to defend your generators well. You have to use your time good. You need to know maps well. Maybe learning this killers are easier than some killers but you have to be good basic killer mechanics and you have to get good at them. If you are not good at killer; Freddy, Spirit, Wraith etc will not carry you to win (Maybe except low ranks).


So what are you thinking? Do you thinking some killers braindead or all killers need skills? Lets discuss in respect and rules.

    Something something mad cuz bad is usually why, all killers requires a certain level of skill to play correctly...yeah even spirit.

    Its salt. And their way of coping with the lost to these killers

    Just salty people who don't like losing and need to find reasons why they didn't really "lose" because it wasn't a fair fight. Also you can still play nurse and blight and at some point you'll be informed they take no skill either. You could play no blink nurse and adrenaline vial/placebo tablet blight and be told that as well.

    Except spirit, they actually have a point there. Still a bit childish to whine about it postgame though.

    Twins and Doctor definitely need some skill. The others (plus Cannibal) are extremely easy and have a very low skill ceiling. I think Cannibal is the easiest killer in the game, you basically just press a button, not much else to him at all.

    For low ranks or bad survivors yes, i can agree. But when you play against good survivors (well loopers, doing gens and not wastes time) you have to show effort. Playing against good survivors needs skills and no, killer will not carry you against them. If you are not good with killer, you can not win.

    So i do not think they are low skill killers. Easy killers can carry you on low ranks but high ranks needs skill.

    I didn’t say they would carry, but even against good survivors, there’s hardly anything to do differently with Bubba. He’s extremely easy to play, but he’s not OP. Spirit is both though

    Because some people are salty, that is all.

    The reason is mainly salt. Survivors getting outplayed by a killer? "Impossible, killer just won, because he played a no skill killer!"

    Because some people will play a certain killer in such a manner that it will make the illusion that it takes no skill, overshadowing the potential of the killer until they come across someone who does know the potential of said killer. Even then, they might choose to ignore it because of previous experiences with that killer.

    Yeah, no idea why people put Doctor up there. Everybody loves to treat his Static Blast like its the main part of his kit and that it makes him low skill because he doesn't have to put effort into finding people when:

    A. You still have to actually go find those people. They can run and/or hide in the time it takes for you to find them.

    B. You then have to chase them as well.

    C. Being in a locker at the time of the blast completely negates it.

    This isn't even mentioning the fact that there are tracking perks that I can think of that work just as well for finding people if not better than his Static Blast, that nobody seems to care about. You never see people saying using Lethal Pursuer is a braindead perk, at least I don't.

    What are you saying? Looping takes more skill than every single killer except nurse, blight and twins.

    Bhvr has made it so killer requires not a ton of skill to play, because they need people to want to play killer. The grind as a killer main and skill development is very small to nonexistent. That is why killers can’t compete at red ranks. Survivor grind is non stop which is also why red rank survivors are such a challenge.

    People who say Spirit requires no skill have never actually tried Spirit. Tracking almost exclusively by sound (scratch marks are a joke, and can't even be seen several maps) is an incredibly difficult skill you have to develop for her and her alone.

    Looping takes skill, yes, but I don’t think you play killer enough if you’re saying there’s only 3 killers that require more skill than survivor.

    Killer is a 1v4 where a single mistake on your part could mean the entire game is lost.

    Survivor is literally a game of second and third chances (more if you bring second chance perks), killers do not have that same luxury.

    I play killer as much as survivor, killer is the easiest thing ever. You have got to be really bad if you think survivor only consists of second chances.

    How is survivor not just a game of second chances? You have to get hooked three times to die, not to mention the plethora of second chance perks there are (dead hard, adrenaline, unbreakable, deliverance, DS, etc.)
