    On killer never. Been a Mikey main from day one.

    On survivor I was initially a Laurie main as I am a die hard Halloween fan. Then I discovered Dweet and I've never looked back.

    Started on my new PC account recently and have been having tons of fun with Pinhead. He might be my new main but I’m not sure if I can give up Clown

    Also I used to be a Kate main since curtain call was my first chapter I bought. Now I main Jane instead because I like her cosmetics more

    Regularly on killer. As survivor it was Jake then Cheryl.

    I was predominantly a Spirit player for a long time, but I found Nurse more fun as I improved, and I was constantly running into 4x Iron Will after the Stridor nerf

    I don’t have a main, whichever killer I have a daily ritual for is the one I play (except Nurse, I just don’t play her at all.)

    I considered myself a twins main for a long time.

    They were the first character I got to level 50, and they carried me from rank 15 to rank 1 (before the system got changed), but I just haven't been playing them since CoH came out.

    I was an OG Freddy main, I didn't like him after changes switched to Legion upon release then they gutted him after release so been Bubba since. Although recent Legion rework is nice, I still prefer Bubba these days.

    I was originally a Doctor main because he seemed the coolest from the Killers that were initially available to me (had the game on PS4, so Doctor and Hag were options). Then when I looked at the licensed Killers available, I liked the idea of killing Survivors with RBTs, so I switched to Pig.

    I started playing as Wraith because he's very fast, and that was great since I didn't have Corrupt or any other gen-related perks yet. But after having more perks I switched to Spirit and Nemi.

    I switch survivors after some time because I get tired of all the sounds they make or when I wanna play on a different MMR lol.

    I've mained Demogorgon ever since I got him, which means I've played him for almost 2 years and I took a single break from him in that time

    For a bit it was looking like I was going to switch to Trickster as my main when he got released. However I didn't really like the post launch changes he got so I dropped him again.

    Deathslinger was my secondary main for quite a while until he got nerfed in the worst ways possible.

    Clown to Huntress To Twins To Artist To Trickster

    Also OG Freddy Main, but BHVR ruined him. Then Plague main, but I made builds and strats around the Vile Purge and never used Corruption, then AGAIN, BHVR forced a fountain reset and forced Corruption on Plague, completely ruining my Killer. So then I became a Deathslinger Main…but…sigh, they extended his terror radius and took away the quick shot so…

    Right now I’ve recently P3 Pinhead and on week 4 of consistently playing him. I’m still considering, his power is still a bit hard for me to control on console. I talk a lot about OG Freddy because everyone does, but personally the Plague changes hurt me the most, I really loved the sickness mechanic and the build up/strong end game of plague. If I wanted to one shot people I’d play huntress, I want people to despair in the sickness cesspool I created, even if I have to fight 5/6 fountains to do it >_<

    My first killer main was Plague, because when I first started the game I found it hilarious that one killer's power was literally just vomiting on people.

    But then I found Legion, and Legion was just too much fun. I haven't played Plague in a long time. I should go back to her for a bit.

    I'd definitely call myself a Legion main but Nemesis and Dredge pull at my heartstrings quite a bit.

    I was Freddy main. BHVR reworked him to garbage. I stopped play him. Old Freddy was much better

    I am feeling your pain. I gave break to DbD. When i back, i played my fav killer first (Freddy). But he was different. So i checked what happened. I saw they reworked him. I gave chance to New Freddy but he was so boring.

    Claudette to Meg because Legion. Easy. Don't remember who I was before Legion...

    I was with Freddy for thousands of hours, on multiple platforms. I was with him on all his ups and downs.

    But all the new maps and map reworks + his last nerfs really killed his gameplay for me. He was in need of balance, but not this way...

    I do still play him, but I don't main him anymore, I switched to Bubba and Doctor

    Huntress was my first main,I've always loved her design and her iconic lullaby.

    Her hatchets are just so fun to use and her skill ceiling can be very high I love playing killers that requires mechanical skills and timing to use their power,that's why I despise killers like Legion or Plague where you feel like you did nothing to deserve the injure on the survivors you just M2 and they all get easily injured.

    then one day I went to check the store and found Kazan AKA The Oni, first I read his lore then watched some videos on YouTube to see how his power works in action.

    Man I was impressed by the movement, by the speed and fluidity,the flicks you can do with him I was missing out on a great killer that I should have bought way earlier !

    now he's been my main for a long time and I completely mastered him I don't think I have anything left to learn about the Oni.

    he's my second and last main,I love him too much there wont be any new killers that could replace him as my main.

    Ex trapper main, now I don't have a real main (I'm close to being a bubba main recently due to the survivors being... Funny...)

    Yes, I used to main Pig a while back but the current state of the game makes her miserable to play. She also is in dire need of buffs. Now I main Artist, because her power is very fun to use and I love everything about her.

    I've been a billy main for years, but the dredge just speaks to me, so I have to main it now! I love the aesthetic (especially the baby doll skin), I love the nightfall, I love the teleporting into lockers. It's creepy, it's thematic, it's so fun!

  • anarchy753

    Only on survivor, because they nerfed David's shirtless cosmetic.

    Funnily enough they still used the old version on the pride twitter posts.

    I started as a Meg main since I started playing the game (June 2020), then became a Yui main in March 2021. I flip flopped a few times (Claudette, Claire, Feng, Mikaela) but Yui is really my actual main survivor. Don’t really have any plans to change any time soon.

  • _NIGHTMARE_
    _NIGHTMARE_ Member Posts: 727

    Yes, a couple of times.

    My first main was Pig after purchasing the Saw DLC.

    After a good few (four, I think?) months or so with her, I changed to Pyramid Head who I mained for a good while longer.

    I've recently moved to Huntress who I've stayed with for a couple of months now.

    I wouldn’t say change, but anytime Im on pc I play nurse, but on console always GF. As for surv started as Dweet until Jonah came out

    Started as a Feng main, went to Claudette for like 2.5 years, went hybrid for a few months after, and now I'm switching between Feng, Kate, and Mikaela.

    I've always been a Claudette main but there are times where ill play Nea or Feng for a few hours. So with that said... no i have never switched mains.

  • Sadako_Best_Girl

    Killer: From Pyramid Head to Sadako. Not only because I love the ring films but also because I like how she fundamentally changes the way the game plays out if you know how to play with TVs. Sure, not top tier by any means and 90% of the times you won't get to get that sweet inexorable stare, but pretty fun nonetheless.

    Survivor: I mained Ash from the beginning but I am beginning to shift towards baby girl Haddie. She gives mad "I am going to beat the ######### out of the killer" vibes.

  • TragicSolitude

    Killer: Spirit lost her collision, so I played Mikey for a while. I switched to playing Blight when his camera was raised. I then switched to Nemesis when he came out because zombies.

    Survivor: I mained Kate for a while, but I started playing more survivors as other ones I like were released and I don't really main anyone anymore.

  • Mister_xD
    Mister_xD Member Posts: 7,669

    4 times now, yes.

    My first main used to be Trapper. I love him, but he is in such a bad state that I genuinely struggled to find enjoyment in him for a long time until I just stopped playing him entirely.

    During this strugge, I started maining Doctor too - he was never my "main" Killer, but towards the end I played him significantly more than Trapper, despite calling myself a "Trapper main". I eventually dropped him too not because of any particular reason that has to do with him (I still like playing him, though I enjoyed the two modes Doc a lot more), but simply because my next main released and hooked me (pun partially intended):

    My third main who stayed my main up until I quit this game in August 2021 was Deathslinger. Now I think it is quite obvious why he is no longer on the list of characters I play: he got absolutely gutted by BHVR.

    And finally my current main, alias the only Killer I can find any enjoyment in as of right now, is Dredge. Ever since I returned with the anniversary event it is the only character that I can play as without feeling an immediate burnout from the game - I am having some serious Deathslinger vibes right now (in terms of enjoyment), which in return greatly worries me that they might do to Dredgie what they did to Slinger.

    I dunno what main means because I switch characters often, but I think I played Myers and Kate the most in the past.

    Now I am not sure if I played them more than others all things considered.

  • Deathstroke
    Deathstroke Member Posts: 3,516

    I used to main bill when I first played and then changed to nea main but later I found bunny feng so she is my main now.

    For killers first I mained oni but now I don't main one killer anymore but play almost all of them.

  • Brimp
    Brimp Member Posts: 2,997

    Well given that mostly everyones first main as killer was huntress but then I switched to blight cause I saw an extremely good blight main and since I'm a more "see and replicate to good levels" type of person I just instantly became really good with blight. Also totally wasn't the fact that at the time J flicks were a thing and extremely fun to do.

  • Echoplex25

    I changed to Nurse when I realized every killer sucks ass other than Nurse

    Oh many times I went through an Oni, Blight, Twins and Billy phase and Im starting to consider Huntress next. Oni was just the most fun killer I had, then I won Blight in a giveaway and fell in love with him, Twins came along then and they just felt fun and then when healing became more prominent and more coordination from MMR I swapped to Billbert. Recently been getting a strange amount of Huntress dailies and Im finding her kinda fun so maybe I will try to learn her well next.

    For survivor, I've always played either Jake (mostly), Dwight, or Feng. Recently started playing and prestige Yoichi too as he's really cool.

    I don't play killer a whole lot anymore, but when I first started playing I mostly mained Ghostface as I thought he was really strong. Looking back, it was because I was a newbie killer with low MMR. The better I got, the less I liked to play him as he wasn't too great against experienced survivors (better since his buff though),

    I was a Billy main until they ruined him. Now my man DemoDog is my favorite and I don't think that's going to change.

    Used to main Clown back when he could disable exhaustion perks, but they nerfed that part of him and he overall became worse because of it. Went over to Legion and haven't looked back.

  • TheDarkTyrant
    TheDarkTyrant Member Posts: 2,074

    Bought the game back when Michael was the only license and bought the game because of him. He was my main. Clown was my 2nd main. I just really find him fun. Then we got to Nemesis. Only reason I main him is because I told everyone I would no matter what. Even if I hated the killer which I do for the reason of him being inaccurate t the character by I have to main him still.
