Any killers you just don’t enjoy playing? Why?

For me there’s like four I just don’t care for at all. Aesthetically/play style, just overall not my cup of tea. pyramid head, oni, pinhead and nemesis. If one of my fave streamers plays them. I just tend to skip to the vod until it’s over lol.

    Huntress. Idk why but she is the one killer I just suck with no matter how much I play her. Every survivor seems to know exactly how to dodge my hatchets so I just turn into a 110 killer who gets looped for years...

    Hag

    I don't really like trap characters and plus chasing with hag is pretty much throwing unless you push em to your web of traps and I prefer the chase as killer

    Nurse

    I want to play Nurse. I really do. But the way the camera shakes when she fatigues literally makes me motion sick and hurts my eyes. If the screen just went dark like Legion, I'd be Nursing all day.

    Hillbilly and Leatherface

    I have some kind of mental block with Hillbilly. I can't chainsaw people for #########. I don't know what it is. Leatherface I just can't stand the noises he makes or his appearance.

    Clown.

    The Clown is gross.

    Twins

    The Twins are gross.

    Hag

    When I first got DBD I actually played a lot of Hag, but then I bought more killers, never went back, and don't really feel compelled to.

    Pig

    Boring.

    Freddy

    Also boring, which is a shame, because I love the character.

    Billy, I swear his chainsaw sprint magnetize to the nearest object 90% of the time. I can make sure I don't press any buttons or move the mouse and he just turn straight into the nearest debris.

    I also hate playing as Nurse and Blight, I can do decent with them but I don't enjoy how mistakes on them hurts you much more than mistakes on other killers.

    Nurse is the only killer I actively never play. I can't stand looking at the ground half the match.

    Freddy. Probably the saddest case because I used to play him quite a bit because I just loved the character. But he is just such a yawnfest. Freddy needs a rework, give the franchise some justice!

    Other than him, Spirit. Was never really that good with her, I hate predicting, and I hate having to throw my volume all the way up just so I can get a better read on where the survivors are.

    Spirit. I have a tendency to miss small audio cues, so playing her is kinda frustrating for me.

    Huntress and Nurse.

    I hate playing as them both.

    Huntress is slow and her hatchets are annoying. And nurse is slow and her blinks are the garbage.

    Artist. I can't stand the Artist. Boring power, clunky power, and super annoying audio.

    Trapper - no one ever steps in my traps.


    Wraith - boring.


    Nurse - I suck.


    Hag - too slow.


    Pig - I think the Dash is dumb and her crouch is too slow.


    Blight - most broken killer in the game.


    Cenobite - I hate his power.


    Artist - just not fun.

    Nurse

    I'm learning her, cuz I feel like my main killers aren't enough, and people made me feel like I need to play her or Blight to improve. But I just can't get to enjoy her. She takes away everything you have to know on other killers to mindgame survivors and she's setting up her own rule-skipping gameplay. Some people will say it makes her enjoyable, but for me she's boring because of that. I will continue learning her tho, cuz i don't really have much choice when my supposed mmr increases, and games get more and more difficult.


    Hilbilly

    He's growing on me, but only because of Space Billy tricks. 9/10 times your games will be completely impossible because of certain maps. He IS enjoyable, but I can't enjoy him without a map offering/sacrificial ward. If i have to go for M1 Billy because i got sent to RPD for 20th time in a row, how he's supposed to be enjoyable.


    Freddy

    Freddy is really close to my heart, because I used to main him. I don't know what happened to him, but he feels completely unenjoyable now. He feels like he can't apply the same amount of pressure that he was used to. With each new/reworked map he feels like he loses more and more power, cuz maps get more spacious and his limit on snares/pallets is so tiny it barely covers anything on them. He needs something to become enjoyable again, but also to don't bring his old, broken self.


    Wraith

    This one's short. I feel like it's impossible to lose games with him, games aren't enjoyable if they're too easy.


    Artist

    I'm completely in love with her concept. She's beautiful, has a great power, I wish I could play her. But the sounds she makes ruin the experience completely. I'm very sensitive to weird sounds (that's why I shall never touch Clown lmao) and her screeching makes it impossible to focus. I can't play the game with the sounds turned off.


    Onryo

    She's super underwhelming. She's kinda a better Freddy, but the same as him, she needs a lot of help. I can't find a way to enjoy her, but i hope that if she'll ever receive changes, she'll be more pleasant to play

    I don't enjoy playing Miss Plague. I boke everywhere and cant get hits lol. Tis awful. I play killer about 30% of the time and can only really play Nemesis... So i'm kinda bad at killer even though I enjoy my nemmy lol

    The two most stupidly designed killers regarding core mechanisms of the game: Hag and Nurse

  • Chaos999
    Chaos999 Member Posts: 869

    Nurse. Because the ground isn't interesting.

    Huntress, because I need a crosshair XDDDDD

    Hag. She's boring and she's dis-incentivized to chase which is the most fun part of the game. She's also slow so I'd rather just play Trapper. Can't stand going against her either, I'm glad she is rare.

    I also don't enjoy playing Pig because she's heavily reliant on RNG and if I win or lose because of it then it doesn't really feel like it was my fault I lost/it doesn't feel like I earned the win. Her ambush is also incredibly weak and her crouch speed is slow. I don't mind playing against Pig though.

    Hag, trapper,twins and artist

    Hag cuz playstyle

    Trapper cuz Dead Hard

    Twins cuz painful cooldown

    Artist W simulator+annoying noises

    Nurse and Twins.

    Nurse because constantly looking at the floor drives me insane and I find her means of movement more stressful than fun. Twins because I hate having to walk across the map after a down and the cooldowns and delays involved with switching characters after a hit (or getting kicked) feels horribly clunky.

  • EnderloganYT
    EnderloganYT Member Posts: 621

    Twins. Everything about them just feels slow and sluggish. They need some help desperately.

    I thought i was the only one with Nurse issues lol makes me wanna puke every single time. Just cant do it

    Trickster, because his aesthetic is laughable, his mechanics are crummy.

    pyramid head and artist. I’m not a big silent hill fan anyway but it’s more about they feel similarly clunky to me so I struggle to do well with them.

    Twins again mechanically clunky.

    Pig she has no real power, traps don’t do much unless you play afk pig then traps a are a lot of fun.

    I find blight’s pin ball bounce silly, great theme and aesthetic but bumper car gameplay is meh.

    I can’t steer oni and billy to save myself but I still like em. Billy’s roar since the nerf is ugh though.

  • ShinobuSK
    ShinobuSK Member Posts: 5,279

    Most of them. I truly enjoy maybe 5 killers max

    Hag's playstyle doesn't appeal to me at all. Plus flashlights and good teams pretty much nullify her power so she can be underwhelming.

    Plague's red vomit is the single most frustrating thing in this game. Yes, even more so than Dead Heard.

    Oni to a lesser extent. I consider myself to be a fairly serviceable Nurse and Blight killer even if I can't do crazy techs with them, but if I'm not in Demon Dash, I just can't land land lunge attacks while in my power to save my life. It doesn't matter how many hours I pour into him, I just bonk walls and the ground constantly.

    Artist,hitting snipes with this killer isn't satisfying enough and her chase music is awful probably the most boring anti-loop killer in the game.

    Pyramid Head is the most enjoyable anti loop killer in the game to play imo his power is so fun to use.

  • Starrseed
    Starrseed Member Posts: 1,774

    Every killer that has a range power because for the love of the entity I can't hit someone and I just don't get myself to spend the time to learn it. Second would be nurse blight and Billy with the last two I just bumb into everything and I'm just bad at teleporting with nurse

  • Chocolate_Cosmos

    Nurse. When I don't do well, I feel frustrated and asking myself why I even bother to play her. When I do well or I win a game, I feel frustrated and exhausted. She is just not for me. Playing just one game with her is like 2h of gym.

  • Aurelle
    Aurelle Member Posts: 3,611

    Hillbilly, Twins, Trickster, and Clown. I can't get chainsaw hits at all, Trickster is just frustrating to play, and The Twins and Clown's power are laughably bad compared to other killers.

  • Marigoria
    Marigoria Member Posts: 6,090

    Clown and Wraith. I just dont enjoy their playstyle much.

  • oxygen
    oxygen Member Posts: 3,325

    Spirit. I dunno, I just don't enjoy using her power and I never did, doesn't matter how well I do while using it I just have more fun playing almost any other killer in the game.

    Twins, for a similar reason. I don't find controlling Victor enjoyable at all and when that's the case there's not much point playing Twins to begin with.

    only deathslinger.

    reason: he feels very bad to play, a weaker huntress, his nerf.

  • Sumnox
    Sumnox Member Posts: 605

    Blight, very difficult to control for me, but also just generally all of him. Boring, uninspired, I don't like him.


    Nurse, repetitive, gets dull and boring very quickly. Once you get the hang of how she works, every match is literally the same. People overestimate how much skill you need to play her, and how difficult she is to control, to justify an absurd design.


    Deathslinger, I'm not a huge fan of firearms in general, so maybe that's why.


    Trickster, I can't stand the sounds he makes, the giggling and music are obnoxious.


    Artist: Again, the sounds she makes. Just no. Also, very cheesy power.


    The rest is sort of ok, depends on my mood.

  • Zozzy
    Zozzy Member Posts: 4,759

    Blight. Way to much effort and wear on the mouse feet.

    Deathsligher. Feels awful and slow.

    Legion. Their sound guy is deaf and turned the music up way to loud and something about it makes my and other peoples ears ring.

    Artist. Clunky and slow

    Twins... it's twins.

    Wraith, Nerfed, slow, clunky and not viable any more.

    That's about it really.

    Billy. He is amazing cool for having fun and memeing, but sincerely his power was so butchered and I just don't have enough notion to control it properly and feel like it is overcomplicated sometimes compared to other killers.

    As someone who stopped playing after 3 years i can tell you i loathe playing any killer now. None of them is well designed mechanics wise, the game is not well thought out, so every single killer feels bad to play. And unfortunantly for everyone Killer is the important role. Without killers there's no DbD. Nobody wants to play against Bot Killers but barely anyone has the will to play killer. Should they make the simplest aspects of killers better, like better regression on kicks, better mobility, better map design then maybe M1 killers would be fun to play and other stronger killers could get some nerfs so that their powers don't feel broken. It's all a matter of making the basics of the game better so everything else can be fine tuned.
