    Nurse's presence makes me quite uneasy than Hag.

    She nurse is difficult but good. the pig is great like Freddy.but bad is rather the twins who can do nothing at all

    Is this a list on how well the killers perform or is it how bad they are in personal taste?

    If we're talking about strength, the worst Killer is The Trapper no doubt in my mind but if we're talking about how good we are as a killer, then probably Nurse

    If by 'bad' you mean objective strength, Nurse definitely doesn't belong on the list, but it's your list so whatever. I don't think Freddy belongs there either, but Pig I can agree with.

    In terms of playstyle is Trickster in my opinion.

    Throwing knives like fountain is boring.

    Aesthetically - Trickster

    Strength - Tricker

    Annoyance - Doctor

    I dont usually care to play nurse/spirit/hag because even perkless and with no addons the games are too much of a steamroll to be fun. Trickster I would say is the worst power wise because his pinnacle of power is pounding knives into someone unhooking which is just a scummy way to play because evidently his knives even hit the person being unhooked through their invincibility in the animation.

    If survivors know what they’re doing Legion. May it be a 1 in 3 billion good solo team. Or some competitive SWF. But in reality any killer is viable in Solo Q

    I love me some legion! But yeah It's only been once but I did have a team that kept 2 teammates on the opposite side of the map from me and just sent 2 people into me 3 gen to work on different gens and the second I hit one they would run to the other side and get healed and only having m1 felt kinda bad. But like I said that was once in I have no idea how many games.

    Had a couple of fun trials with Pig, wasn't all that bad. Last time I played Plague though must have been... weeks? Months?


    Can't be bothered currently, nigh-unplayable on console with the still existing stutters and lag issues. Plus the still unresolved general issue with Plague's vomit sometimes magically just not hitting while hitting. Not worth my playtime.


    So for me, Pig is not that bad in comparison. At least playing her you are not becoming trolled as much by technical flaws of the game.

    To me it's Trapper then Nemesis for different reasons. Trapper is legit the weakest right now and Nemesis whole power makes no sense to me. Tentacle is too short, Contamination does nothing, Zombies are the biggest gamble roll in DbD. Only redeeming quality is how Meaty his M1 punch feels. I'd rather endure Ghostfaces stupid Reveal Mechanic than play Trapper or Nemesis.

    These are in no particular order but Twins, Doctor and Trickster.

    How are Twins and Doctor on the same level as Trickster?

    Is this based off of your personal worst killers or worst killers in general?

    Globally the worst:

    • Clown
    • Trapper
    • Legion

    Not really in order, but those 3 are probably the worst in general.

    My 3 personally weakest Killers:

    • Clown (I just throw bottles without thinking, he is just to boring so I don't really care to play efficient with him)
    • Twins (Similar to Clown, I just spam Victor and hope it lands, not really caring about playing efficient)
    • Freddy (Place a Snare, teleport a bit, gg. Nothing interactive)

    It's not really that I am bad with them because I don't know how to play them, it's just that I don't care in playing them effieciently.

    Weakest, starting from the worst:

    1. Trapper
    2. Myers
    3. Pig
  • DBD78

    Trapper, Pig, Clown in that order.

  • unluckycombo

    Overall, based on my understanding of the game: Trapper. Poor boy needs some help.

    When I'm playing them: Any of the speed bois- Oni, Blight or Billy. I get super disoriented while playing them and I just run around like a headless chicken most of the match.

    Personal Opinion/Taste: Currently, for me, it's a tie between Deathslinger and Spirit for lead on least fun to verse. Both have the weird interactions in the 1v1 (one of my favourite parts of the game, personally) where they can do either really well, or you just destroy them because they don't know what's happening, and neither feel very satisfying to verse. Wraith is a good runner-up though, mostly since just about every Wraith player I've faced has been super toxic. (There are a few good bois out there, but they're rare for me.)

    Nurse is the strongest killer in the game. No opinion, fact.

    Nightmare is not as great as he used to be, but still good.

    Pig.. yea maybe. She is weak compared to the rest.

    They're not, like I said they're not in any particular order the reason why I put them here along with Trickster is just that they're all weak killers in my opinion, I don't think twins or doctor are nearly as bad, though. And I don't know if mean that trickster is better than them, but I certainly don't think he is.

    Legion is the worst killer in the game. His power does nothing but put people in the injured state, which then turns him into an M1 killer. If you're capable of looping, then all this does is make him easy to deal with and encourage survivors to pound gens.

    Pig at least can sneak up on people, or use her power at a surprising amount of loops for a down. Combined with two addons that let you do it easier, and her traps and maybe getting RNG, she isn't the worse. She has two things that at least function.

    Arguably Trapper is probably second worst, generally speaking he's even worse than Legion if the survivors are decent. In fact, you could probably just hold W against a Trapper in safer, non-trapped areas and win easy mode. Without traps, he's without a power, which objectively makes him even worse than Legion because he can't put you into injured state.

    Freddy can teleport to gens and place slows at many loops. He has powers that function. Clown can get a bit of speed and slow survivors at loops, he also has a power that functions.

    I'm not even going to waste my time talking about moronic you would have to be to call Nurse the worst killer in the game. I think Doc is probably third on the list here. After that, there's a lot of bad killers but they at least have the ability to be good.

    The worst killer as a power design is Nemesis. He just doesnt make any sense

  • danielmaster87

    It's Trickster. Too slow. Too many projectiles needed. You get nothing from them if the laceration goes down.

    Well depends how you define "worst".

    Bc if you're just talking about overall strength then nurse and freddy should be nowhere near this list lol.

    Trickster. He's a giant middle finger to console players.

  • SirGando
    SirGando Member Posts: 374

    Trapper, Myers and Pig are the worst by a long shot imo. they really need buffs.
