What's your favorite killer to play against?

Mine personally would be the Nurse, rarely see Nurses, but when I do I love to mess around with them and pull every trick in the book against them. I just find it so much more interesting playing like an entirely changed-up game than with other killers. So Nurse will forever be my favorite. :)

    Why is it your favorite to go against? Is it like me kinda where you enjoy going against killers you are familiar with? Or do you just enjoy the mechanics? >.<

    There are a lot killers I love to play against:

    • Oni
    • Trapper
    • Pyramid Head
    • Billy
    • Michael
    • Ghostface
    • Legion
    • Demo
    • Nemesis

    But if I really had to choose one it would be Oni

    Billy is fun to play against, why do you enjoy playing against him? :)

  • Phasmamain
    Phasmamain Member Posts: 11,534

    Because he allows survivors to be active during a chase. Killers like clown or slinger just require the survivor to not think and do the most effective tactic.

    Billy requires you to be on your toes constantly and is very threatening due to his one shot if you mess up. Even with all that he still doesn’t feel unfair though

    This makes me a bit sad though, I don't think I have seen a billy for months since his rework I kinda miss him. :C

    Why do you enjoy playing against Oni? Do you just enjoy the different playstyle or other thingies? >.<

    Billy, Plague, Huntress, and Blight (very variable on how sweaty they are) are all S tier to me.

    Oni, Michael, PH, Legion, Billy and nurse as long as she isn't way way better than me and i have a fighting chance.

    I’d honestly take crack billy back if it meant I could fight him again

    Any Killer I genuinely feel terrified to play against.

    The Oni. Just hearing that global indicator that he has his power always gives me an "Oh #########!" moment. I always end up laughing everytime I ######### up dodging away from his Demon Strikes in a short loop.

    The Deathslinger. The forums probably think I'm crazy thinking he is fun to play against, but the forums also thinks that Trickster is annoying to play against (he isn't). A really good Deathslinger will always catch you the moment he is in your LOS. And the moment you're within distance of his spear, you can kiss that health state goodbye.

    A killer who gives me overwhelming tension during chases and constantly keep watch on the Killer as well as potential obstacles around me which forces me to change how I play is immensely fun to go against. He has power over you, so when you fight back it feels so ######### satisfying.

    The Huntress. Another "Forum Favourite", but genuinely love playing against her. Especially if I'm facing someone who can cross-map snipe. They're rare and a dime-a-dozen but when you face them you will feel a paranoia like no other playing as a Survivor since she might throw a hatchet your way just because she thinks you're there. And if you get hit and get downed, well, she played well and you got a good jumpscare to go along with it.

    Hillbilly, Pig, Pyramid Head, Oni, Ghostface, and Oni are all killers that I like going against. If I had to pick one though, it would be Oni.

    Oni

    Perfect combination of threat, terror, and fairness. Aside from the ones that camped (that could've been any other killer), I don't think I had an Oni game I thought wasn't fun.

    Nurse. She's as close to a pure skill vs skill interaction that there is in this game. If a Nurse repeatedly two-taps you and ends chases in under 20 seconds, they're outplaying you. And if you run a Nurse for a long time on most maps, you're outplaying them.

    Trickster because he’s my favorite, but I haven’t played against him post-buff, so we’ll see if that changes.

    Legion because the chases are genuinely exciting when I don’t know whether or not the killer can just fast slide over that pallet I dropped.

    Ghostface because quite frankly the fact that he can also teabag is hilarious.

    Trickster for sure. The ungodly squeal that comes from me when I face one can be heard across the nation. I immediately drop my item for them and 98% of the time they'll be nice to me and allow me to simp. I just can't help it. I've met some of the kindest players in the community who play Trickster.

    I don't mind facing Billy's, demos, Huntress's, Onis, Micheal (but no tombstone) Bubbas (if they don't basement camp), Pyrimid Heads.

  • Volcz

    I love playing against Nurses. I see so few people playing as her. I actually had a match a while ago where I was able to loop a Nurse for quite a while and I don't know how. She finally downed me, stood over me, then spun in a circle like "I got you, I got you!" and I tried to spin too, but she picked me up. It was such a fun match and since that one, I've had maybe 4 matches against Nurses and one of them, my game froze and booted me out.

    I also love playing against Spirit, Plague, Twins, Demogorgon and Blight.
