Who is the worst killer in the game?

Trapper, Pig, and Sadoko are the bottom three.

Trapper requires too much set up. You have to hope nobody saw where you set your traps. Even then your traps can still be avoided making you a killer with no power.

Pig has no control of her own power and is just reliant on RNG.

Sadoko is a poor man's Wraith/Demo. Its almost impossible to get anyone condemned if they have two brain cells to rub together.

Sadako

Deathslinger. He just has the least redeemable features to me. They absolutely gutted Caleb.

Every killer that isn’t Spirit.

Statistically Trickster seems to have the lowest kill rate right now since the big rework on the site I follow. And historically he’s not rated very highly on popular tier lists, usually average or below average. And I don’t think most people consider him as good as Huntress or Deathslinger since his ability takes longer to actually damage someone. So I don’t know if he’s the worst but he’s apparently down there.

Trapper would have been my pick prior to the rework, but the change to Dead Hard where now you can’t jump over traps made Basement Trapper in particular really vicious. If he gets someone in the basement and traps the entrances it’s very, VERY hard to save the person without getting downed and the person still getting caught again in the process. Even the new Endurance after an unhook doesn’t help because traps still immobilize the survivor for an easy down. I still don’t think he’s great but I do think he’s enjoying more kills now!

Aside from those two, I might go with Meyers? 🤷‍♂️ Meyers has the most fun add-ons in the game, but ultimately his problems are he has a pretty slow startup time (unless of course you use the Mirror add-ons which are fun to play) and no way to get around the map quickly. So if the survivors are spreading out and holding W and looping well when running forward doesn’t work it’s going to take him time to actually catch up and get the down. And yes, he can use Tombstone for instant kills, but that makes his setup time even longer which isn’t ideal. If you can weather the first half of the match and build up zones with destroyed pallets though then he becomes better by the late game and if the survivors mess up and get too close together he can get multiple downs in a row and that could be game over. Generally speaking though the only thing going for him in his base kit is instant downs and simple controls, but Bubba for instance can get instant downs too and his power is available from the very start of the match and he has built in pallet shredding to boot.

Honestly either Sadako or Myers.

Myers is basicly downgrade from your regular m1 killers until he reaches tier 2. Even in tier 2 he has nothing and he is the only killer in DBD who can run out of his power.

Sadako is just sad. Mediocre stealth, add-ons, teleport and horrible slowdown. I have no idea how devs thought that Sadako can be released in this state.

In my opinion Myers

And with the latest updates it's myers by far. Like in a tier of his own

Trapper benifited massively from the latest changes and i think people are kinda sleeping on him now. I think he easilly went up a couple of tiers

Myers is the slowest killer bar nurse in tier 1. Against most survivors this isn't a problem but when you face ones that know how to deny stalk you realise just how bad it really is.

The lesser terror radius in tier 2 is nice and probably the best thing he has going for him but won't do miracles

Tier 3 is underwhelming. It does have good snowball potential which is why people don't rate him as the worst but he's still a m1 killer with slightly longer lunge and vault speed.

Good survivors will be able to deny that snowball.

That said his power is amazing in concept though, one of the more faithfull ones. And because of his snowball you can do well against avarage survivors.

He just is a killer who you won't know how bad he is untill you faced survivors that really know what to do against him.

Probably not the worst if you look at dbd as a whole but would be the last pick if you had to face the best

Sadako, her power’s strength revolves mainly around condemnation, which is still pretty weak as to get any pressure from condemnation you need to have a good way to reliably give it to survivors, which her teleport is already pretty restricted as is due to the thing having a long cooldown, doesn’t really help that Dredge does what she does but better at the moment

Surprised so many people are saying Myers when he's pretty clearly got a bunch of advantages over other killers if you know what you're doing. He's certainly weaker than he needs to be, but he's not the weakest by a long shot. It's also not Sadako, lol.

My pick for the weakest is Clown. Trapper is a good contender, but at least he's got the capability to snowball and has some solid addons for punishing survivors with-- compare to Clown, who has two bottles that both serve the same major purpose (shortening some chases), while being completely countered by predropped pallets and having absolutely no snowball capacity. I love him dearly but he's still the weakest, he's just pretty reliable + consistent - to say nothing of how fun he is, obviously. Some of his addons do help his lacklustre power, but he's still only good at one thing and that one thing is still very easily countered.

Again, though, I love Clown, and I actually think it's a good sign that the weakest killer is as dependable as Clown. He's still perfectly playable, after all!

Nurse, she's so bad that most games vs her I face in soloQ someone disconnects

I'll bet you $10,000 I can do better with Nemesis than you can do vs who I think is the worst killer across all maps in the game - in a no addon challenge vs SWF groups that will rotate across a full rotation against all maps (and repeat that process 10 times).

You should really try him with Save the best for last. You only have to whip two or three people the whole game. You whip twice to get tier two and then you will only whip the obsession unless you would otherwise get nothing at a loop. There are pretty common circumstances where you can get two hits faster with 8 stacks as Nemesis than a nurse can down a survivor with blinks.

"Mobility, Lethality, Objectives"

I will suggest a new category for you to consider : Tunnel Potential. Most of the M1 killers suck at tunneling because someone who is about to die can just throw all the pallets and extend a chase long enough to punish you. You can't do that vs Nemesis. Because he can run STBFL Nemesis is quite good at tunneling. Body blocks help you when you are building stacks (you can't both be evasive and protect someone if you are the obsession if I use my whip on you). Hitting people as they get unhooked helps you build more stacks.

You also ignore: 4v1 potential. Pinhead's cube can interrupt all 4 survivors. Zombies can stop or slow gen repairs while you are in a chase. Doctor can force you the team to "snap out" and not be able to do anything else. These are a few examples but we also have the snowball potential from killers like Myers, Oni, Huntress and Nurse who have the potential to chain damage really quickly. Even though this bleeds into the lethality category it is usually considered to be part of this category as you can sometimes pressure everyone at once.

You seem to have a grasp of the game's mechanics but I don't think you've ever really watched someone good play Nemesis. You underestimate how good he is at zoning survivors. Nemesis has a Huge advantage when it comes to Lethality over Ring. Nemesis Blight and Nurse have one of the most supreme advantages in the game in that they can almost ignore pallets with their power.

Mobility becomes far less valuable if you tunnel someone out of the game. Nemesis also becomes stronger when you tunnel someone out of the game because suddenly it becomes a 3v3 game. Yes the zombies often do not help you but with almost any other killer you have 100% chance of zero outside help.

The other thing to consider is that Mobility doesn't matter if you hard camp and control a three gen setup. This point is easily illustrated when playing infinite tier three Michael Myers and you hook a survivor in the middle of a three gen setup. How do you get a safe save? You don't. Likewise how do you get a safe save vs Nemesis with 8 stacks? You don't. If I punch you on your way to the hook I will recover before you can make the unhook. If I punch you as you are unhooking you will be down before you have a chance to dead hard.

Based.

Weakest killer depends on the limitations. Michael Myers can play at "A" level with best addons. But he's probably C or D tier with none. By comparison Trapper and Pig are just built poorly. No addon combination makes them "A" tier. Both Trapper and Pig become highly ineffective in a large number of the game's realms.

Playing trapper with no grass is just not fun. Why? Because some people play the game with filters. There is nothing wrong with using filters as they are 100% allowed by the developers.

Likewise Pig is not fun on any Open Map. Crouching becomes pointless and you basically have no power - other than the fact that you can potentially use STBFL. Both Trapper and Pig are absolutely pathetic without addons. Pig doesn't really have amazing addons but she has some "ok" options. Trapper is night and day different with Bloody Coil (disarming traps damages you) & Iridescent Stone (one trap resets every 30 seconds). But even with those addons he won't play too well "off grass". The most powerful weapon in the trapper arsenal are "sinking traps" that are invisible - but this is an exploit and is not something you should do as they fix those positions eventually.

If we were making a list based on no addons I would probably put Wraith at the very bottom. Even on a map with no Grass Trapper can place traps to block pallets. This creates a hard stop with no way to avoid it. Wraith without any addons is abysmal. You move around quickly and can find people but they can vault a window and you don't even get a free hit. You're moving around the map slower than Ring and you're just as pathetic in chase.

I've watched CMWinter enough to know that Pig has some crazy potential if you play her well.

I've watched TheEntityLeftHand enough to know that Trapper has some potential if you play well enough.

From what I know - there is no "famous" Wraith main. Marth can play a mean wraith and he loves wraith dearly but I would bet against him if it were a no addon challenge between him and the other two mains.

Trapper and Myers compete for who is the weakest. I would say Trapper is the worst against average survivors and Myers is the worst against highly skilled survivors.

Trapper has a limited power that wastes his time and only works if the survivors go where the trap is, and is not always possible to push them there. It's also much weaker on certain maps. Organized SWFs can also share information and deactivate many of his traps.

Myers has the weakest early game. He also has the easiest to land instadown in the game, but he needs to stalk first to build up his power AND he loses stealth when reaching Tier III. Against the most skilled survivors, he will often get only one instadowns per use of stage III.

If we're going for perk and add-on value, however, the Shape is better than the Trapper. Myers has some really strong purple and iridescent add-ons (Tombstone Piece is actually busted), and bamboozle makes his stage III counter windows well. Sure, trapper has some nice ad-ons like the Iridescent Stone and the Trapper Sack, but they aren't as busted.

Pinheads cube, Doctors insanity, Plagues spit, Pigs Helmet are all side objectives.

And for killers as far as objectives go, If you can ignore the side objective, then its not worth having. Nemesis's side objective is his infection cleanse. Which...honestly you can pretty much ignore. And for the times you choose not to ignore it, you get a bonus health state.

Tunnel potential isn't a thing. Because every killer in this game can tunnel a survivor out of the match and end it there. Just depends on how hardcore you're willing to go to get someone out. Plus theres other killers who tunnel better by simply having better Objectives, better Lethality, and better Mobility.

Pig- M1 killer and can't do much in chase so you may not even get all 4 head traps on by endgame

Onryo- Jack of all trades, master at nothing.

Trapper-BHVR PLEASE just let him start with his traps so he doesn't lose 2 gens at the start

Onryo. She is next to useless.
