Unhealthiest Killer in DBD?

Very bias opinion maybe but I hate Hag with a passion. Her ability to camp is very unhealthy and doesn’t do the one fun thing that survivors do which is chase.

Since Ghostface and Trickster aren't here, I would say Nemesis simply because of how boring I find him to be.

The Plague.. obviously🤢

Does Spirit suck, yeah

Is any nerf Nurse ever gets deserved, absolutely

But Legion is just... #########, not even luck can outplay Feral Frenzy, which also happens to ignore every game mechanic, if Legion weren't terrible, they'd be the most hated killer by far

Most outdated killer in the game imo.

She doesn't play DBD, she plays the Nurse game.

Which can be fun... But I'm here to play DBD yknow?

Kind of wanted to put Spirit with a close second The Twins. But although it's rare to face a good nurse, if you do face one, she's clearly the most unhealthiest for DBD. Partly because of how good she can be in chases and her map pressure. But also unhealthy because the Devs have to consider every killer perk's balance in terms of how good it is on the nurse (and other top killers).

For example, Old Undying + Ruin used to be very strong on all killers, even those with poor map pressure. But on Nurse and other top killers, it was way, way too oppressive. BBQAC is another great perk for all killers. But it's even better with Nurse because she doesn't have to go around obstacles, she can blink straight to a survivor. NOED, another amazing perk. Good on all killers, extremely good on Nurse. You get my point.

Then there's the issue of how can you give a general buff to all killers after solo queue survivors (hopefully) get a buff? Nurse is already top tier, so what can you do without making her even better? It's difficult.

I have to say though, in the average game, I do enjoy facing Nurses much more than I do Spirit/Twins. A lot more.

I voted Spirit just because she has almost all of the control. She's exceptionally hard to counterplay and just about impossible once you're injured (unless you ran Iron Will and even then it's countered by add-ons she can run to see your blood). Not going so far as to say she's broken, however, but if I had to pick from the list... her.

Nurse, I feel like you can counterplay - you just break line of sight, then do something unexpected. Also, absolutely abuse 3 dimensions. You see her charge her blink when you're not on the lowest floor of a building, just abort your current direction and start running toward her. Almost always, they'll knee-jerk and aim down to prevent overshooting you... and wind up on the floor beneath them. That's probably my favorite trick.

Hag, same thing as Nurse - there's counterplay - though with the caveat that she's abyssmally busted at low ranks... since there's zero instruction given on how to counterplay her, nothing is intuitative in her counterplay and even if you know how to counterplay her, you can be *screwed over* by someone who doesn't... like during hook rescues. It's basically free 2 pips until Rank 12 or so on Hag (as a former Hag main).

As much as I dislike Deathslinger, I think the Twins are more unhealthy and THAT is sayings something because I despise Mr. Hookreel. I think the devs completely went tone deaf with these two. Neat idea, but they epitomize everything survivors have been complaining about for the last five years. Camping and slugging? Yes, let's make a killer that's more efficient at doing both. 😒😒😒

Hard to say as hag and nurse are pretty bad offenders for game health too.

Hag because she's a boring killer that literally just defends and never chases, to win hag, you just set up a 3 gen at start of match and camp anyone you down inside of the 3 gen.

Nurse teleports through walls, she literally ignores every one of the game's normal chase mechanics, so much so that she's the only killer who is slower than survivors and she still remains one of the strongest despite that.

I decided not to include spirit because the only reason I think she is unhealthy is that she is overpowered and has addons that are too strong as well. You could just nerf her a bit and reign her addons in and she would be fine.

Old legion was pretty unhealthy, new legion is kinda boring and weak, but I don't think he's unhealthy.

PTB trickster is pretty unhealthy.

Death slinger has to be my main choice though. His power is entiirely impossible to react to if the killer is a quick scoper (you can literally just use a piece of tape or software crosshair and then literally anyone can do it,)

The only way to consistently counterplay a deathslinger is to hold W and early throw pallets before he has the opporunity to use his power. Additionally because there is basically 0 downside to faking a shot, you can just fake shots until you're confident it's an easy hit and the survivor will literally just let you catch up by trying to juke shots you never take. Basically there is no risk on killer's part, he is literally always mindgaming a 20 meter radius around him by just existing. If I were to tweak deathslinger, I'd add a small wind up to be able to shoot kind of like huntress but not quite as long of course and I'd make the ADS slowdown persist for a little longer after you stop aiming in order to make it take skill to aim, predict, and dodge shots. Although as a compensation buff, I think a lot of his addons could use tweaks because most of them are garbage

Deathslinger isn't OP, but his kit is not fun to play against at all imo.

Twins are basically nonexistent in my games as a surv or they usually camp very hard (because their playstyle just DEMANDS it).

They need a hard rework.

I'm a Twins main as well, and i don't camp or slug either.

Whenever i play against the twins, i never get camped or slugged.

There aren't many people that play Twins, so if they nerf the Twins that would be really stupid.

This is kind of what I thought the Legion was going to be when I saw them announced (before I even played). I thought it was going to be that there were four killers on the map and you could jump between their bodies.
