What's your killer pool and why?

What killers does everyone play, when do you pick each killer?

I play Doc when I want to have a bit of a laugh, as he has so many fun builds and can use perks like distressing that basically only he can get use out of. I play Twins when I just want to do some trick shots by yeeting Viktor off a roof or when I want to try hard. I then play hag if killer Q's are really long so I want a really long game. I finally end every gaming session with a randomised build for a random killer.

    If I get way too high I will usually just play Nemmy or Legion. I enjoy just going where the game tells me to. I play a lot of people and like to switch it up

    Pinhead is fun, I enjoy working in conjunction with the box. If you work with your power, your power will work for you. But playing him ages me I swear, so I can only take him in small doses.

    Everyone but Nurse because she's kind of boring to play now, and Blight cause I don't know how to play him well

    Main killers that I might randomly choose on a day to day basis; Wraith, Doctor, Ghostface, Myers, Demo, Dredge.

    Very occasionally; Hag, Spirit, Pig, Plague, Onryo.

    If I have to for dailies; Freddy, Legion, Pyramid head, Nemesis, Cenobite, Artist.

    Will not touch, and will reroll dailies; Trapper, Billy, Nurse, Huntress, Bubba, Clown, Oni, Deathslinger, Blight, Twins, Trickster.

    Mainly Clown but I still get wrecked by gens and If I try any other killer I also get wrecked by gens.

    I am a lover of variety, so I just go where the impulse take me usually, but there is some order, I guess:

    Primary rotation: Onryo, Huntress, Pyramid Head, Demo, Spirit, Plague

    Fairly frequent: Artist, Nemesis, Dredge, Myers

    Occasionals: Slinger, Cenobite, Doctor, Trapper, Ghost Face

    Rarely/for dailies: Wraith, Clown, Cannibal, Trickster, Twins, Legion, Freddy, Pig

    No patience for learning curve, waiting for practice mode to learn: Nurse, Billy, Blight, Oni

    Ew, never use, will dodge all dailies: Hag

    Onryo and Myers are my "for fun" killers, because I live to scare people. The rest of my primary rotation is for a balance of power and fun.

    Doctor I will use when I am feeling a little salty and want to share it.

    All of them. Why limit myself? But you know, I do play Leatherface and Nemesis a lot more than the others. A lot more. Wraith for challenges, but I hate him. That being said, there are a lot of challenges. So he is still in my top 3.

  • DoritoHead

    Mains (killers I switch between playing regularly): Oni, Deathslinger, Legion, Demo

    Learning (I play these very often since I want to get used to their powers and I find them interesting): Oni, Pyramid Head, Pinhead, Ghostie, Sadako, Blight, Huntress and Dredge

    Occasionally: Bubba, Spirit, Nurse, Artist

    Almost Never: everyone else, unless I’m forgetting some killers.

    I play Michael when I want to relax but in general, I play whoever I have a daily for.

    Some players like to play Nurse but have never really had the time or interest to master her. It's actually harder if you don't master Nurse first before playing other killers, because muscle memory and intuition tend to become rusty after playing other killers for a while, and you won't have the skill level you need to win in High MMR if you come back.

    I play mostly Hag, Trapper and Plague and sometimes Legion.

    I was maining Plague, Hag and Artist. And occasionally liked Spirit and Huntress. Untill Sadako arrived...

    Trapper. Someone getting stuck in a random trap is just super enjoyable to me. Basement Trapper is always good to fall back on when you have to kill so and so challenges or if you just want to punish squads who want to annoy the killer.

    Doctor is fun because I like making people scream, especially David.

    Hag is fun because I like to just set all of her traps in one spot and hear the repeated scream of the survivor running through them.

    Artist, blight, plague, spirit - if I'm playing multiple killer games in one session I'll do at least 2 of these, probably 3

    Otherwise I have some old favourites, pig, hag etc who I might do if I'm in the mood

    Then I usually have a flavour of the month who I'm currently enjoying but will probably get tired of, it's currently dredge

    And then the rejects who I'll avoid playing without a really good reason - billy, nurse, twins, trickster, cenobite, nemesis, executioner. Although if I'm in a strange mood I still might anyway just for laughs
