    I love Legion, Wraith, Pig, I just don't play them when I'm interested in pipping up. Otherwise, after I get streamrolled in 3-4 matches, I usually get a few chill ones.

    If I'm not against my skill of survivors then sure, as soon as I start to verse my skill it's just stress...

    You try out forced penance on her? From what little ive watched, it seems like survivors are very prone to try and body block if someone is condemned.

    While i like this game, i dont like chases that much. As survivor, i play the stealth-approach and try to lose the killer in a chase, rather than extending the chase till the game is over.

    Thats why i like killers that dont chase normaly either.

    I like hag, but she is very hard if survivors know what they are doing.

    Doctor is great, i dont break god pallets, but when survivors realize my shock hit them in time and they are trapped by that pallet, its so great.

    Silent wraith can still grap survivors of gens, its always fun.

    Same is true for no tr-meyers, at least with a decent map offering.

    I haven't, never got it. The broken could be nice but after a hit they won't be taking many more and condemned only really comes into play if they mess up badly or I have the ring drawing addon

    Huntress is one of my favorite killers to play. Plague being a close close second.

    Me.

    Most of the killers I play are mid to low tier except Oni, Plague and Cenobite. Trapper is one of my most played killers despite being bottom tier.

    I don't play any of the top tier killers (Nurse and Blight).

    I think with "weak" killers you still get the enjoyment from downing and outplaying a survivor, but it's just less consistent. (My recent experience trying The Artist cause her teachables)

    Also it's a pain when even with "the strongest" build (no add-ons) you still struggle against a good team with meta perks. (*looks at legion with bloodfavor)

    I like a lot of weak killers other then the spirit most of my mains are weak.

    I don't even know if the spirit strong anymore.

    I said this many times what the point of having all these killers if only 2 to 3 strong.

    All of my main played killers and actual main are "bad killers" so yes, i do.

    It's a pretty common thing as well tbh, most of the bad killers have the most interesting/fun powers to use.

    I play mostly "bad" killers with Artist being the only high tier killer i enjoy playing. Legion, Doc, and Pig can be fun, but too often easily dealt with so they're most stressful than what they're worth playing.

    Trapper, Clown and GhostFace are the most satisfying out of the bad killers to play as. Trapper just so satisfying when someone steps on a trap just after they got healed or stepping into a 2nd trap immediately after they got out of the first trap. Clown very simple, decent in chases and has my favorite chase music. GF you can actually play very sneaky and creep up on them.

    I enjoy so called "bad" killers, you just have to play to their strengths.

    I do a lot of basement trapper, he excels at that.

    3 gen trap web Hag,

    Insta kill myers or indoor map jumpscare myers.

    I mean these killers are only weak because the mainstay of the game is mobility and braindead looping, which they often don't do well at with base mechanics alone.

    Problem is the player base mindset that there is only one way to play the game "properly", which is commit to a playstyle that on "weak" killers heavily favors survivors, such as low return chasing of healthy survivors and lack of mobility gen defense.

    If you try and play like that with killers who are "weak" at this playstyle you are making the game harder for yourself as killer.

    The best example is basement bubba, bubba isn't weak in chase but his power is most threatening when survivors are grouped up in a confined space. So three survivors trying to get out of the basement is bread and butter for bubba's saw, sometimes the best play you can make is defensive over chasing in a lot of cases.

    There are no "bad" killers unless you are trying to pigeonhole the overall game into a single playstyle that is running loops. Then the mobile killers and the anti-loop killers will excel while others will seem lackluster.

    Wraith, Doctor, Myers, Clown are my favorite M1 killers. But I like playing almost all killers. Exceptions are Trickster, Huntress, Hag and Ghostface.

    Twins. They captured my heart ever since their release.

    They are the epitome of what I like in online games, teamwork. Having to control and maneuver both Charlotte & Victor in a trial feels so fun.
