    Killers that have a rather low skill ceiling but get stomped easily so I’d say Pig or Freddy.

    Twins, trickster, slinger for me

    That probably comes down to "Who is the most boring to play".

    Why would anyone main someone who is boring for them? Lol

    Anyway, back to your question... I think the most boring for me is Bubba, Shape or Hag.

    My least favorite killers are Shape, Hag, Freddy, and Cannibal.

    Hag, don't enjoy her playstyle, and the sound she makes when drawing the traps, irritates me. I play her from time to time tho, but I rarely use her twice in a row.

    Artist has to be the most boring killer to go against in DBD right now, even if they are not desperate losers using every spoiling tactic they can to win they are still really boring to play against

    Bubba and Trapper. There's also Hag, but I do play her occasionally.

    Wraith.

    As a killer I’m never all that “bored”. Outside of the very endgame where either the survivors have opened the gates and I can’t stop them from getting out or where the last remaining survivor is just hiding hoping I don’t find them I’m always doing something the entire match.

    I’m definitely better at some killers and worse at others, and I don’t like playing some killers as much as others, but I can’t think of any I think are “boring”.

    Freddy. There's really nothing to him. Especially if you're playing dream pallets. There's no mechanical optimization because basic M1 stuff or faking a telport. His add ons don't really interact with his power at all. He has louder gen add ons. Like....wut. It's a shame.

    At least with Hag you have the ability to pop off and chain a bunch of hits/downs in rapid succession. Plus there's the optimization of trap placements unless someone is going the baby Hag 10 traps at hook route.

    Myers 100%. He has the lowest skill ceiling in the game imo.

    Freddy/Twins. Twins' use rate is the lowest for a reason. I recently played as the Twins for the current tome, but that was the first time in ages. Freddy? It's been a looooooong time.

    Freddy. Playing him is like working a soul draining repetitive job that you hate.

  • Lx_malice

    Artist or Plague for me.

  • Bwsted
    Bwsted Member Posts: 3,452

    It's a such a subjective question. For me, probably Bubba.

  • Hex_Ignored
    Hex_Ignored Member Posts: 1,955

    This depends entirely on the player's preferences. For me it's a toss up between legion and deathslinger

  • edgarpoop
    edgarpoop Member Posts: 8,441

    Artist is so boring that I forgot about them in my initial post. I think they're the only killer on the roster that I actively dislike playing. I'd refund the DLC if I could.

  • drsoontm
    drsoontm Member Posts: 4,903

    Boring? Boring doesn't apply here.

    If you mean the least enjoyable it has to be the Twins.

    The second place is a tie between Sadako and the Artist.

  • Kokujin

    Pig by a mile or two.

    Hag and maybe Twins. I mained Twins for some time but it gets boring.

  • Aven_Fallen
    Aven_Fallen Member Posts: 16,343

    Hag or Freddy. One of those.

    Hag is just boring because you cannot chase. If the Survivor steps into a Trap, you get a hit. If not, you wont get a hit.

    And Freddy is just Skill Floor = Skill Ceiling. If you play one Freddy-game, you basically know everything what he can do. No depth at all.

  • pizzaduffyhp90
    pizzaduffyhp90 Member Posts: 901

    I'd say maybe Hag or Trickster.

    Executioner, Freddy and Doctor.

    I've not been bored playing a killer except for spirit. sure there are ones i rarely play or enjoy but i seem to not be able to get into spirit at all her power is very uninteresting. but i like her out of the box addons the ones where you can go back to the husk or block a window with it which may make me try her once in a while.

    Trapper IMO

    Well explain to me what they have going mechanically.

  • RaSavage42
    RaSavage42 Member Posts: 5,566

    I play a lot of them... so for this I'll say

    Freddie- The gameplay loop and Survivor DC'ing (for the most part)

    Bubba- I can never get the chainsaw to work the way i want it to (aka Lack of skill playing this Killer)

    Trapper- Just hearing the snap of a disabled trap (and the loud noise notification) is deflating to say the least

    Myers- Tiering up is the most boring thing i can think of... but tier 3 makes up for it

    Pig is the most boring. Freddy would take the crown from her if it wasn't for nostalgia. Nightmare on Elm Street was my first horror movie.

  • pseudechis
    pseudechis Member Posts: 3,904

    Basement trapper gets me a lot of 3-4 K, you only need one and the rest will come to you while you sit in your shack plunkin’ ya banjo.

  • pseudechis
    pseudechis Member Posts: 3,904

    I think killers are only boring when you try and play them all the same way. Some aren’t really built to chase so why chase in those scenarios.

    Fun is in the eye of the beholder, I mean afk pig isn’t very interactive, one could say boring, but it’s exciting to see how many head pops you get, satisfying when you do get one, or better yet more than one and then the endgame is usually really sweaty as you try and get the last kills before the egc.

    Freddy, his character is boring, and the dreamland is annoying to look at 24/7

  • gnehehe
    gnehehe Member Posts: 510

    Hag or Nurse ... teleporting killers (very boring imo, at least in DbD context) with easy 4ks once you mastered them (esp with the early suicide/DC every 2 games lol)

  • AnnoyingNarrator
    AnnoyingNarrator Member Posts: 222

    Freddy by far. At least with Hag, you can have some stupid but fun builds using some of her addons. Freddy has nothing to work with for fun builds.

    Artist..

    For me Spirit, its just too damn easy to play even after the changes its still too strong for such little effort, I dont like being spoonfed.

    I find Nurse super boring mostly since its nothing but teleporting to survivors.


    to counter my above I enjoy Freddy lol but i think i would of enjoyed the OG freddy even more. ( i never got to play him!! 😑 )


    Myers is fun because you can roleplay Halloween to counter some above me! Same with Pig with doing games lol!

    Big sadge for all the people who dislike artist :(

    On the other hand, I think the most boring killer for me to play is probably either Doctor or or Twins. I honestly don't think any of the killers are inherently boring because they all have nuances to their power that can give some type of enjoyment (for someone in theory). I'm just not fond of the optimal playstyle for Twins because it requires slugging and I know the survivors are not having fun at all when this is done. Doctor I'm just not great at and find a lot of my chases are very linear. Hard to counter people who pre-drop, there's some tricks you can do to guarantee a hit, but against good survivors I don't have much fun in playing him.

  • Marigoria
    Marigoria Member Posts: 6,090

    I like both franchises. A killer doesn't need to be strong for me to find them fun.

    Fake pallets are quite fun to me, and pig is also fun, I like her built in slowdown and stealth.

  • Viskod

    I have a completely irrational soft spot and love for Wraith purely because of Saminations take on him. Can't help it.

  • Blueberry
    Blueberry Member Posts: 13,671

    I’d say Clown or Freddy. Both very weak and both have very low skill ceilings. Freddy’s addons are just straight up embarrassing though.

  • Hoodied
    Hoodied Member Posts: 13,022

    Nothing fun exists about Freddy, he is literally just "Teleport to gen or set trap that'll work 50% of the time", I like my bread and butter part of my power being noticeable instantly or atleast passively, but god somehow freddy feels like nothing ever really happens throughout the game

    His traps need a big rework. They disappear, you can't even see auras of the ones you've placed, they have lots of environmental problems where you just can't place them in certain areas.

    I think a good change for him would be that as generators are completed and he can teleport to fewer places, his traps become more powerful. This would also fall in line with his intended theme of getting stronger as the trial gets closer to the end.
