    Sweaty pick: Nobody. I do never play competitively, if the others can cheat without getting punished (VOIP).

    Fun pick: Anna or Rin, mood dependable.

    Sweat: Hag or Doctor, both require effort on my end to do well with.

    Fun: Dredge, near complete map presence (unless Swamp), rapid downs with MYC, gives me control of the game so I can mess about.

    No real sweaty pick. I play laid back.

    That said, if I'm really in the mood to goof off, I run Santa Clown with Franklin's. I then knock something out of your hand and dance around it while showering the area with bottles. (It was better before they changed the animation for reloading. You could spam the beginning of reload and it made his belly shake while it looked like he was dancing.)

    You may be the only one atm tho 😜

    Haven't touched the game since a month after the introduction of MMR.

    So atm you are probably the only wraith main, and I'm a wraith main on sabbatical 😉

    Neither I guess? 🤷‍♂️ I normally just play the killer I have a daily ritual for that night.

    That’s not to say I’m not better or worse with certain killers than others. Since I don’t regularly play any specific killer I’m best with the ones that are mostly basic attack chasers (e.g. Dredge, Sadako, Doctor, Clown, Pig, Freddy, etc) and worst with the ones who have a special ability that they need to get hits with (e.g. Huntress, Deathslinger, Hag, Trickster, Plague, Nurse, etc.)

  • RatbasterdJr
    RatbasterdJr Member Posts: 702

    Sweat - blight, oni, spirit

    fun - any killer with meme builds, or basement bubba

  • AngryHobo2
    AngryHobo2 Member Posts: 106

    If I want to appease the Entity I choose Huntress.

    If I want to meme around it's Deathslinger.

    Trickster is usually a middle ground between the two.

  • RonMan32
    RonMan32 Member Posts: 413

    Sweat pick: Deathslinger

    Fun pick: Deathslinger

    BHVR please rework him or slightly revert the nerf into a middle ground. :(

    I never play sweaty as killer (I don't even use addons). My favorite killers are Pig and Legion. I have pretty much every killer unlocked, but I only play those two.

    Edit- I'm not a killer main (I play both sides). Didn't really pay attention to the title. 😆

    DragonMasterDarren Member Posts: 2,878

    Sweat Pick: Literally nobody because i don't sweat, but Demo is my best killer, so i'll pick him

    Fun Pick: Demo, Dredge, Wraith, Nemesis, Pig, Clown, Trickster, Legion, Blight, and Wesker when he comes out, i pick one of those at random and then go from there

    Blue_Archer33 Member Posts: 318

    I'm not sure... 😅 I kinda sweat with every Killer I play, but if I'm in the mood I'll also just have fun with every Killer I play.

    Like I'll sweat hard with PyramidH, PinH, Sadako, Nemmy, Dredge, Demo, Plague

    ... but then I'll also have fun with the same Killers if I'm in the mood or if the survivors crack me up. Or if I curb stomped them before they like ANY gens so then I pity them.

  • BenOfMilam
    BenOfMilam Member Posts: 911

    Sweat: Twins and Legion. I can't turn off the sweat when I play these killers, it's too satisfying to play efficiently with them.

    Fun: Slinger and Bubba. Prolly 50% of my playtime has been playing Deathslinger, I always enjoy him. Bubba is just very relaxing to play, you don't have to try very hard at all to get good results with him.

    Suddenly you hear a loud bing bong behind you 😜😂

  • Maelstrom808
    Maelstrom808 Member Posts: 685

    Yeah, that's not really how it works for me. I sweat every match until I get everyone hooked once. Then I assess how the survivors are doing. If they are struggling, I'll chill a bit and take my time to get the next round of hooks. If they are still having trouble (say they haven't popped more then a couple gens) then I'll meme around till the end of the match and let them go.

    If they are doing fine I'll sweat until the end or I get a couple of kills. Exceptions being if they are acting like asses to me or each other, then I'm happy to punish that, or if I have challenges that basically require 3-4ks.

    That's how I make most matches fun for me, and usually the survivors too.

  • Zeidoktor
    Zeidoktor Member Posts: 2,065

    I don't have a specific killer that I sweat with. I tend to play killers I don't use often (Deathslinger, Oni, and so on) more seriously, so a blanket "killers I use infrequently" would be my answer.

    My goof-around killer is definitely Freddy. I arm him with Terror Radius perks them go see how often I can trigger Infectious Fright.

  • Jivetalkin13

    Love everyones choices and some of the people saying they just play to goof off 😊 good vibes!


    I'm also happy to see more people than I would've expected picking Sadako. She's one of my faves but I rarely every play against her when I'm playing survivor!

  • Kolitra
    Kolitra Member Posts: 61

    Hag is my main, so when i want to play very serious, i take her, but this past months were so not kind to her that i barely play her anymore, i explain, hag mains will understand;

    • Artist map is HUGE and worst is you can't hide traps, ground is too clear and clean.
    • The rework of the game (saw map), ground is too clear and clean too, was a very cool map before rework but not now.
    • The rework of myers map, this map is fkin way too HUGE !

    They should give us less visible traps, at least on the clearer maps. Too easy to counter by survs. It broke the hag gameplay.

    My fun killer is nemesis, easy and fun to play and i can run my endgame build with him because with best for the end, i don't have to hit M1 the obssession.

  • xni6_
    xni6_ Member Posts: 505

  • Gamedozer7
