What's the most obnoxious killer power for you?

What's the most obnoxious killer perk that you hate playing with or against?

I personally find dredge's power super obnoxious. On a naturally darker map I can't see anything so I usualy end up running into a wall. Even when I play as dredge I'm not a massive fan of it but I have no idea how I'd change it without making it useless.

(Just a side note before anybody misinterpreted what I'm saying. I don't think it's overpowered by any stretch. I just find it annoying to play while it's on, even when I'm playing as killer I don't like it.)

    I think many people don't like doc because of all the effects on screen. Or clown for the drug effect.

    Plague.

    I don't like the vomiting sounds my character makes when sick.

    There are a few:

    Dredge, basically for the reasons already mentioned. I just dislike his Nightfall, it becomes super-dark and uncomfortable. Not even scary or anything, just uncomfortable.

    Trickster, because it is very hectic getting hit by multiple projectiles.

    Artist, because it is just "Place a Crow at Loop, so I have to leave the Loop" and this on repeat.

    And Twins, my soul vanishes from my body when I hear the sound of Victor being released.

    Blight.


    I don't care what anyone says, there's no counterplay to "I can run you down at mach 7". You can't even try to mind game around anything longer than 4m because he'll hug tech around it.


    On top of that, his insane mobility makes certain perks ten times more oppressive because of the reaction time.

    Doctor because of the flashing and weird visual effects that give me a major headache.

    Plague because her power is annoying to go against and I have bad vomit phobia, so everything about her makes me feel grossed out.

    Nemesis because he's just plain annoying and I hate facing him. His zombies are also very annoying, too.

    Bubba's chainsaw near hook. Also his power to attact the most toxic filth and scumbags to play him is immense!

    Trickster is by far the killer I find the most obnoxious as far as their power goes. Twins and Pinhead are not far behind...

    That's hard to tell - I don't like the sound and knowing that my character keeps vomiting when it comes to Adiris. It's gross, yuck! There's also Ji-Woon with his blades; Basically, if I don't have an exhaustion perk, I'm dead unless the map is the Gideon's Meatplant or a map with lotsa walls, so throwing blades isn't an option for him, which is almost never the case.. It's kinda like meeting Bubba's chainsaw in the open field.

    I think, I'll go with Adiris due to my experiences regarding matchmaking; Whenever I use my healing loadout (Self-Care, Botany Knowledge, Desperate Measures), I get Adiris. Yup, so I have three perks that I can't use for the entire match. That's not good at all. And, also because .. Ughh, it's gross.

    **I completely forgot about Ghostface. You do see Ghostface, but the game believes that he's hidden. That's just.. Yikes. Luckily, he's not that popular..

    At least everyone else, you genuinely have a chance to try and counter yourself lol.

    That's not really a hate or negativism towards his power, but towards the gameplay of a player, though.. Isn't it? I mean, Anna and her hatchets do make for quite effective camping aswell, including Lisa's phantasm traps, and so on..

    Pinhead's chains 😤

    ^ She is a very close second, back before IW got nerfed I was always hoping that they'd make IW work on the vomiting sound as well, farewell hopes and dreams 😥

    In a way, but who else's power allows them to down multiple survivors in one go, not injure, but down. True it depends on the gameplay of the player, but 8/10 times you face a bubba it's facecamp bubba 😩

  • VicRatlhead

    Pinheads chains. If they didn't effect you while working on the box I think it'd be more tolerable.

  • Marigoria

    Clown for sure. He is just beyond boring, and super irritating. All clowns do is throw a haste, then spam slowdown bottles at the loop.

    I also can’t stand going against twins.

    Nurse is the only killer I actively don’t play, I hate staring at the ground half the match. Such an annoying way to balance her power.

  • ThatOneDemoPlayer
    ThatOneDemoPlayer Member Posts: 5,623

    MDR/DCB Spirit. Had one of these a few days ago, and I never want to go against a Spirit ever again

  • Xendritch
    Xendritch Member Posts: 1,842

    To play? Nurse because as mentioned staring at the ground constantly is just obnoxious.

    To play against? Legion probably since literally the way you counter them is to have someone not be anywhere near anything so legion can't get full frenzy value. It's literally a killer that deincentivises interaction with the killer and playing with your team so they're just insanely boring to me.

  • GiveMeTheBox

    Trickster. It's just knife spam after knife spam, and his charged up power is just bigger knife spams.

  • KolbyKolbyKolby
    KolbyKolbyKolby Member Posts: 623

    Nemesis. His power is very capable and good at eating through resources very quickly and he would be solid with just that, but then in additon you get two zombies that just chase people off the only objective. People complain that the zombies don't do anything and I feel like they have never played against a Nemesis. Just because they're not infecting or injuring people does not mean they aren't doing anything, they are extremely effective and stopping gens from being worked on.

    It's a tie between Trickster, Hag, and Nemmy. Trickster his ability is just brain dead and annoying with knife spam. At least a good huntress who practices throwing hatches can get some crazy good shots that deserve praise. Even a slinger who can read loops and tag survs. I can't say i've ever seen a trickster who can aim cause the ones I come across don't need to since they lean heavily on spray and pray. A certain add-on just makes him even more so braindead to play.

    Nemmy's tentacle is just pure BS and when it comes to hitting over pallets

    I'm throwing Hag in here too because her Phantasm Traps are probably the most annoying out of everyone's power due to the freakin camera lock-on. 😑.

    Legion for the constant mending.

    Pinhead for all the irritating chain nonsense.

    Trickster for the brainless knife spam.

  • WishIcouldmain
    WishIcouldmain Member Posts: 4,082

    Any stealth killer their power can give them a hit for free but then they pretty much just have to tunnel you because they have weak chase. Huntress because of he hit boxes, Plague because of her anti-heal, Legion because mending makes it annoying in chase.

  • squbax

    Myers, because there is nothing original about him, his power is just glorified haunted grounds, playing against him is boring I want to get out as soon as possible and face someone with an actual power.

    It’s gotta be Trickster tbh.

    Twins, pure agony slug games. I dont feel like playing a 30 minute match against Twins just for them to get a 0k because they dont know how to capitalize their power.

  • catnipthegreat

    The clown. His power makes me have motion sickness-- tbh they should prob do something to make it better.

    They changed a killer challenge to fix the motion sickness issue.


    The vomit noises survivors make is pretty terrible--- but at least it doesnt make my head hurt.

  • Cybil
    Cybil Member Posts: 1,163

    Artist and Plague. Maybe Ghost Face when I get insta exposed mid chase.

  • Ayamir
    Ayamir Member Posts: 291

    Plague and the constant vomiting sounds during the whole game makes me want to DC and go next I just can't stand seeing this big disgusting green vomit on my screen.

  • ThatYellowBunny

    Not exactly a killer specific power, but different killers having odd swing types on their weapons.

    For example: Ghost Face having a wide, far reaching swing despite having a simple knife.

    I don’t think I’ve ever avoided being hit by Ghost Face, but I have several clips of him not hitting anywhere close to me and still getting me, compared to the likes of Trapper, etc.

    Just a little pet peeve haha. I like it when the game feels more about skill, than the inconsistent ability to be missed by a killer who’s not even looking your direction.

    (Only mentioned Ghost Face because he’s the biggest culprit of this, in my experience, but there are other knife killers with the same inconsistency)

    Hot take but I absolutely hate trap killers, having to just make a guess whether or not an area is safe to go to is not fun at all. I prefer reactionary gameplay rather than just hope the killer hasn't been somewhere yet.

  • Yords
    Yords Member Posts: 5,781

    Hag. It is already hard to counter her as a solo player, but the fact that no one knows how really sucks. They should really allow survivors to swipe away her traps if the can find them. Hag right now dominates everyone but swfs. In fact if you happen to run into a hag there is a 99% chance of them being good at her. Games with her are just unfun because its so hard to counter her as a solo player.

  • humanbeing1704

    from my experience most people have no idea crouching is a counter

  • humanbeing1704
    humanbeing1704 Member Posts: 8,999

    dredge: this killer literally causes me headaches is and is disorientating I genuinely I have to suicide on hook or its bothersome

    ghostface: reveal mechanics have always been awful and it always seems like ghostface players night shroud camp

    twins: overall just don't like how Victor has possibly the most giant hitbox it's hatchets on crystal meth

  • Yords
    Yords Member Posts: 5,781

    Exactly. Nor does anyone willingly disable her traps in solo when she is busy.

    sonata93 Member Posts: 418

    Clown. I absolutely hate the screen effects when he throws a bottle at you (it gives me a headache) and I just find everything about him super annoying and obnoxious.

    As another player has pointed out: it's always a repeat of him using a haste bottle and then spamming you with the pink bottles.

  • kisfenkin
    kisfenkin Member Posts: 619

    Dredge is pretty annoying, especially on darker maps, and Plague is kinda gross, but I think they should have called the Doctor the Annoyer. That is the purpose of his power, and what's worse is that is the way 99% of the people playing Doctor play him. They aren't trying to kill you, or often even hit you, they just want to drive you insane. That is their only goal, and I hate it.

  • MeltingPenguins
    MeltingPenguins Member Posts: 3,742

    Bubba.

    Pinhead, Dredge and Trickster are obnoxious, but can be balanced with minor tweaks here and there that wouldn't change anything in a drastic manner.

    But Bubba?

    His power and his perks are an embodiment of 'no fun, no fair', to the point where people in ALL SERIOUSNESS say his counterplay is giving up/letting someone rot on hook and just trying to get out.

    When a killer's power enables their player to basically undermine 3/4 of the regular gameplay (altruism, survival and boldness) then something is wrong. No other killer can do that, not even bubba's proxy Billy.

  • OldIronKing
    OldIronKing Member Posts: 67

    I play Pinhead a lot. The fact that his chain hunt doesn't stop going on the person who is solving the box total nonsense.

  • Marc_go_solo
    Marc_go_solo Member Posts: 5,328

    For me, it's the Cenobite. Those chains firing off can make the experience feel like walking through taffy, and the inconvenient timings of the chain breaks when just trying to get past a pallet is astoundingly frustrating. His power is the one I dislike the most.

  • N8dog
    N8dog Member Posts: 541

    Ghostface, I hate playing as and against this killer and I always have. I'll look directly into his face as a survivor and nothing happens. On the other end, I hide behind a wall or something and still get revealed. It's the worst power ever in my opinion. It never feels like you did something wrong as a survivor when you get exposed and it never feels like you did anything right when you play him and expose survivors. Say what you want about Trapper or Legion being horrible but AT LEAST their power works correctly!

    Legion is the most annoying for me solely because I hate the deep wound screen and how dark it gets while my eyes already suck with glasses
