'How Much Fun To Face' Tierlist

Don't have much to say about the ones in amazing/mostly great, they're just fun to play against.

For mixed bag:

Leatherface: Reasonably fun chase mechanic, that allows for interesting play from both side. Only reason he's not higher is the ability to easily face camp, as well as bamboozle making him far less fun to face, as the biggest counter play is removed. That encourages holding w and only using pallets, which is meh.

Plague: Honestly, I love Plague, she's just this low since killers that hard counter items aggravate me.

Twins: Might be controversial to have them high, but I think the twins are quite fun, when they aren't slugging constantly that is. I completely get they aren't very good without slugging, but it's not the most enjoyable to be lying on the floor for half the game.

Ghost face: Stealth killers are annoying most of the time, and his reveal mechanic is complete garbage. With that said, I'm higher on normal chase killers now, because of how many 'respect the pallet and get a hit' killers there are right now.

Pyramid Head: Just ok in basically every way.

Annoying:

Wraith: I think his rework was extremely lazy. I really wish they gave him a reason to stay uncloaked, rather than just buff his numbers. He's just frustrating, and he's sooooo common to face, that it gets old fast.

Blight: On his own, he's probably in the 'mostly great' category. Holding him back is every Blight using the same perks and add ons, that make him extremely repetitive to face. This is made worse by the fact that like Wraith, you will constantly be facing him, much more than the more enjoyable killers.

Trapper: I really don't like looking at the ground.

Legion: Mending is awful, boring power, boring design, just bleh. Saved from the terrible tier by the fact that you get max boldness every match against them.

Garbage:

Trickster: You either loop him for eternity, or get downed extremely fast, depending on the loop. There is hardly any interaction in chase, other than running him around in a circle. Amazing camper too, which is lame.

Hag: Same as Trapper but even worse, because crouching is so painfully slow!

Deathslinger: He can injure almost as easily as Legion (although only in the 1v1, not 1v4), and his power is still really good against injured survivors too. His terror radius is really annoying, and he's essentially just boring Huntress that takes far less skill.

Freddy: Irredeemable, there is nothing fun about Freddy. Everyone knows why.

Clown: Yay, I have to insta drop pallets or get hit, so much fun...

Pig: I despise Pig, she's so poorly designed. The bear traps are an awful mechanic, as they're the same as gens, but you have to constantly go cross map. She literally has add on combinations that make it impossible to search every box, and way too many Pig's take a Midwich offering which is my least favourite map. They also seem to tunnel far more than most killers, which is really odd, as why would you bother putting a trap on someone you're going to tunnel? Hate her, so boring.

Nemesis: For a while, he was the worst, but at least he's not as frustrating as the bottom killer. His power is literally just a less enjoyable version of PH's. The zombies seemed cool when they were revealed, but they are nothing more than a nuisance, constantly making you have to move to heal, run them away from gens, etc. Zombies + ruin on a small map is just... awful. The vaccine animation is lazy. Possibly the most likely to be toxic of any of the killers.

Spirit: Just a reminder that Billy was chosen to be nerfed, over Spirit. I cannot stand Spirit at all, as you are doomed as soon as you get injured, if you don't have Iron Will, and I don't like running all meta perks so. Disgustingly strong add ons, egregiously easy to play, which allows for some killers to be at red ranks, when they absolutely should not be. Hardly anything you can do against her, it's just a guessing game, but not in a way where there is any room to mindgame, or an even guessing game, as Spirit always has a massive advantage over the survivor. Just ######### spirit quite frankly.

    i agree with a lot of these except twins should be dropped immidiately to the bottom tier and bubba can be higher

    honestly twins are so rare that the novelty of facing them once every month makes me laugh, they aren't that great yeah

    Almost fully agree but i'd put Pyramid Head at garbage tier, out of all the killers that can create a "doomed if you do, doomed if you don't" scenario he's the worst to face for me and extremely unfun. Most of the time you could just hold M2 then cancel and get a hit anyway. Not to mention his ability to easily tunnel you out of the game without even having to worry about DS and BT. The "nerf" to his cages didn't do much, it's not hard to tell at all where the cage will spawn.

    And i find Pig very fun to face actually, as long as it's not one of those Pig players who constantly go after the trapped guy.

    Fair enough, I get why people dislike PH, I’m not sure why I find him ok. My problem with Pig is that most of them are like that lol.

    I can handle playing against every single killer in this game, except one.

    Hag.

    I can have at least somewhat fun against every single killer aside from that terrible lore-having corpse. Any game against hags makes me want to jump into a bathtub full of tacks and legos, I can not stand playing against Hag god ######### that killer

    I guess i'm lucky with the Pig players i get then lol. But yeah, occasionally i also get that hardcore tunneling pig or double slowdowns for boxes and a huge map. It's obnoxious to play against.

    Just run urban evasion for the 0.1% of games you’ll get against her

    I respect how much you hate Pig

    as a fellow Pig despiser, I think we're kindred spirits

    About time I made one of these.

    Hillbilly

    I'm always elated to go up against a Hillbilly, especially if they're really good. I will usually give Billy the kill if I have the chance to escape. Un-nerf Billy!!!

    Mostly Fun

    1. Oni - The only thing that keeps Oni from the top tier is that Demon Strike sometimes is hitting you through a wall and you get downed. Otherwise, a pretty fun killer!
    2. Blight - Only thing about Blight is that the flickers are pretty annoying and some of his add-ons I don't like. Otherwise, top tier.
    3. Bubba - If there wasn't a large population of NOED camping Boobs, he'd be top tier with Billy.
    4. Demogorgon - The pallet shredding thing as well as the over abundance of people using Save on Demo Lovato is the only thing keeping the goodboi from top tier.

    Sometimes Fun

    1. Myers - A few BS add-ons. No one likes getting hit with a tombstone or infinite Tier III. Teammates do screw over other by feeding stalk fairly frequently. Otherwise, a pretty fun killer.
    2. Red Pyramid Thing - (bet you weren't expecting me to use that name lol) I don't like his pallet play, and his ability to tunnel from cages is extremely frustrating sometimes, but still a pretty fun killer.
    3. Nurse - If only average Nurses played, she'd be top tier. Too many Nurses that slug for 4 mins with Ruin + Undying + Infectious.
    Skipping over the "just okays." They all have a few mechanics I either don't jive with or are just fairly inoffensive all-around.

    Usually Unfun

    1. Wraith - Just generally overplayed and boring to face.
    2. Trickster - Everything fun about Huntress being removed is basically what playing against Trickster feels like.
    3. Ghostie - PERHAPS IF I COULD ACTUALLY REVEAL HIM :)
    4. Deathslinger - Hashslinging Slasher gameplay be like: fake aim fake aim fake aim fake aim fake aim SHOOT DOWN

    Boring

    1. Freddy - Fredward Benson gameplay be like: snare loop snare loop snare loop snare loop drop pallet snare loop TELEPORT DREAM WORLD snare loop down
    2. Twins - Victor is just so annoying. Spending so much time either on the ground or getting camped by Victor is so fun!! /s
    3. Clown - Finger Lickin' Good gameplay be like: bottle loop blind bottle loop blind bottle loop blind

    Spirit

    Spirit.

    I hate the memes with a passion

    Not only because I don't think it's funny but it also gives people the false impression that pig players/pig mains are all 'wholesome' when in reality the majority of them are a good combination of toxic and sweaty or sweaxic. (trademark pending)

    Huntress in Z tier if the game is laggy

    If it's not then S tier
