IMO Twins is the worst killer to go against and play as
Twins have slowly become my most hated killer in the entire game. They are so boring to play against and play as for a number of reasons but just to say, I don't think for a second that they are too weak or too strong. They are an effective killer in the right hands and are not impossible to go against as survivor, but their entire design revolves around 2 very unfun tactics: camping and slugging.
Most twin players I go against will often do the same thing, get a hit with charlotte, then down you with victor and then use him to latch onto someone else. So then you're left on the floor until she comes along to grab you or until your team mates get you back up which with solo que who bloody knows when that will be.
If charlotte gets to you first, you then have the pleasure of having Victor staring at you from a distance waiting for you to be saved. When that happens the little bastard will down you, latch onto the teammate that saved you and once again your playing slug simulator waiting for someone, charlotte or other survivors to come get you. After all that its usually rinse and repeat onto death hook or for more slug simulator 2021.
Now you cant exactly blame people for playing them like this as its clearly a very effective tactic to use with them, its just how they work, but boy oh boy does going through this every time I see twins just make me want to stop playing. Even doing this when playing as them whenever I have a daily that wants me to down survivors with victor make me almost fall asleep with how dull it is to do this. Plus I just feel bad for the survivors I'm against.
Then there's Victor himself who I just find so dammed hard to actually avoid his pounces. Even when I trick him go 6 feet next to me or above, it'll still count as a hit because the server said so. But then again the opposite can happen where he's headbutted me but for some reason that's not a hit. It's one of the many things in this game that's just so inconsistent. If by chance you do avoid him and kick him, it seems to not really matter as he'll be back on top of you within 20 seconds if they want to get you that much, which makes them a very effective tunneller too which is also a pain to deal with. So you basically have a tiny midget with a hit box the size of mars who will camp and tunnel you most times.
I do get that sometimes killers do have to camp, tunnel and slug if they need to build pressure when gens are getting done too fast but twins just seems to promote this play style the moment they load into the game regardless on how its going.
Sorry this post was so long, it was a bit of a rant but I am so done going against this horrible killer and just feel like from now on, any dailies that involve them will just be scrapped

Honestly twins gameplay is pretty bad they are the only killer I have left to buy and they don't even seem worth 9k shards

I actually don’t mind twins too much. They encourage teamwork and Victor can have some fun chases.
Trickster on the other hand is just depressing to fight

All you ever see them do is proxy camp, and there's really no change that can be made without a complete remaking of the killer from scratch.

while trickster is bad, at least for the most part you don't get slugged for 3 minuets

Twins can be pretty ok to go against.
Just remember to
-Stay in groups
-Try to go into a locker if you're about be downed
-Don't be afraid to use pallets against Victor

I can’t stand them either. People complain about other killers but I’d rather face 500 Spirits than play another match against the Twins, to be honest. The fact that Victor is a 150% stealth killer with built-in Bloodhound and a ranged attack is so dumb I don’t even know where to start with it.
I don’t give up easily when playing survivor, even in solo queue, but as soon as I hear the sound of Victor being released my desire to play the game just leaves me completely.

Twins require coordination to play against. The most effective way is to separate into two groups of two. WGLF does wonders against them.

I really hate playing as and vs Twins also. Though I would say Hag is worse.
My reasoning for this is because a bad Twins player is fun to vs. They usually miss Victor a lot for some easy kicks (which is the best thing about Twins) and eventually give up on Victor.
A bad Hag will eventually down someone and if they place all 10 traps around a hook you can still die through hard camping and the bullshit camera turning. To me there's never any fun facing a Hag.

I have the Twins, but I have been too scared to even try them. 😂

I love playing as and against them. They encourage teamwork and as others have said, staying in groups or in pairs is VERY effective. Whenever I play with friends, we have a blast whenever the twins are the killer(s). It's so fun being chased by Victor and having to work around both Charlotte and Victor is a fun challenge.
I honestly don't understand how some people would rather go against spirits then killers that have legit counters.

Agreed, Twins is so ######### boring to play as and against. They're a solo queue destroyer because good Twins players require coordination to play against, so SWF is more effective in beating them.
To be fair though, it's preference really.

Me who used to main them:
haha yeah guys, what a terrible killer am i right...?

“but their entire design revolves around 2 very unfun tactics: camping and slugging.”
Incorrect. This is just something most Twins players are utilising. But their kit is way deeper than that. There’s nothing boring about playing as Twins at all because there is a plethora of interesting strategies in their base kit. Someone bored of playing as Twins is simply ignoring all the other interesting things that can be done with them.

Here is how deep their kit actually is (beyond camping and slugging)

They're kit maybe deeper than camping and slugging, but It's clear it what they excel in compared to most other killers hence why loads of them do it.
I'm not saying that they're bad in strength at all, it's obvious that they can be a very effective killer in the right hands. I just personally don't find their play style fun to go against or to use. It's fine if others like them and it's great if you and others found a way to play and enjoy them, I just really don't like them

I agree they are a pain to play against but running around as victor and flying at people is so much fun.

How can you say this when trickster exists? He is literally unplayable on console and while I don't have the update yet it seems he just got worse. He is also quite...interesting to play against because he is so lopsided. He either finds you in the open and downs you in 10 seconds or there is a rock you can loop him around for 10 minutes. There is no inbetween

Twins are pretty fun to play against if your team (AND YOU) knows what to do against them. They're the most teamwork encouraging killer in the game, which is pretty fitting considering they're a teamwork focused killer (though Charlotte is quite literally just Victor's janitor after he poops his diaper all over the team). People just don't play them, and so they don't actually know what to do against them, get ######### on, then proceed to get frustrated and cry when it's probably their - and their teammates' - fault for not actually using any of the very Twins-specific counterplay to waste a considerable amount of their time.

Probably because it takes him three minutes to cross a map looking for somebody.

I like Twins. At least they are something different from the two archetypes we've been having of "ranged antiloop killer" or "killer that runs fast". Sure they could have some tweaks, but I feel people really understimate how creative their concept was.
