Are there killers that you WANT to enjoy, but can’t?
Basically killers that you love the idea/visual design of but just can’t seem to have fun playing them.
For me, it’s Twins, Freddy, Doctor, Michael, and Ghostface.
For Twins I really like the idea of a 2-in-1 killer and I even had a lot of fun with them before they made Victor get DS stunned after getting a hit.
For Freddy, he doesn’t really feel like himself and he’s just dull overall, but I love how the dream world looks and I love that we have him in the game.
For Doctor, I love his cosmetics, I like the little chuckle he does and I like how electricity is incorporated into his power. But his power feels so unrewarding yet inconsistent.
Michael is a faithful enough adaptation and he can be fun, but he’s just so simple and can feel powerless at times.
It’s fun to sneak around as Ghostface but playing him really stresses me out for some reason.

Plague.
Controller just sucks.

None. As long as I enjoy Spirit I don’t need to enjoy anyone else.

Deathslinger is my favourite killer lore wise and visually wise but I just suck at aiming with him. My lack of mechanical skill is basically why I play clown :(

Artist.

Like just play and have fun or learn how to play???
I like to play: Pig, Huntress, Hag and Spirit (nothing out of the ordinary)
Learn how to play: Nurse, Hillbilly, Nemesis,
Ones that I enjoy playing no matter what... that's hard to say.... Maybe Legion, Doctor, Deathslinger
But then again I haven't been able to play the game in like 8-9 months

Pig. Trickster

Any of them I don't really know how to play and therefore I generally ignore
So Billy (can't seem to figure out his chainsaw quite right), Spirit (phasing), Nurse (blinks), Huntress (chucking hatchets), The Blight (pinball wizard), and Trickster (knives)
Now granted, about half these damn killers I'm relatively confident are a controller v M/Kb issue since most of the killers I can't seem to nail down have issues with aiming but some of them I just can't seem to ever get the hang of for some reason.

Survivor. I want to enjoy survivor. But all things left to do I have only for survivor, and it's pain and frustration.
1 -
I play every killer except the hillbilly. I just don't like anything about him. His mechanics his look his control... I would rather play leatherface.
Everyone else I'm good with. Considering I don't care about winning or losing.

Artist is the one I'm having trouble learning. I know she has insane potential and is strong but I'm having trouble adapting to her playstyle.

Nurse and Legion
0 -
Twins
I LOVE their concept, but when it comes to gameplay, they're so unpleasant to learn.
Hilbilly
I adore his players, I love him as a character and I'm always so happy to face them. But he's SO DIFFICULT to learn.
Trapper
One of my dream killers to be good at, his mains have some incredible galaxy brains. The amount of knowledge that goes into utilizing such a simple kit to make it work vs smarter survivors. But I can't find any way to enjoy him. I tried many builds, and still nothing sparked in me.
Artist
I fell in love with her once i was doing her adept, but after finishing it, next games became pain for some reason, I will give her another chance tho, she's too cool to give up on
0 -
That'll change when they bring the bots mode. You'll be able to get tonnes of practice. Heck I'm a console player and will give Nurse and Blight a bash 😅

Dredge. I love it to bits on maps it works well but some maps just feel miserable and I'd rather play Freddy or Demo hell even Sadako.
2 -
Slinger, I love playing FPS games but his ADS animation just robs all the joy I have from the killer just cause it looks so horrible when aiming
0 -
The Wraith.
I really wanna enjoy stalking around sneaking up on Survivors but it just ends up bingbonging to cloak, speeding across and then bingbonging next to them and hitting. It's really unsatisfying and is super boring.
0 -
Aw -- so many. I would love to play Trickster and Huntress because they have nice cosmetics, but I can't aim at all. I would like to play Legion, also for the nice cosmetics, but having to stab people while I'm going extra fast is also my aiming nightmare.
0 -
Artist is my current main, and one thing that helped me a lot was watching Otz's 50 win streak on her. Lots of tips and tricks I didn't know, if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it.
Once you've gotten really good with her she's a monster, probably my most DC'ed against killer besides Nurse.
0 -
Yes. Ghostface, Trickster, and Hillbilly. I love their cosmetics, but their powers just feel awful to use.
0 -
triskster, i play on controller so his knives can be annoying at times. plus he doesnt really feel rewarding (just gotta hit 12 out of 44 knives)
pinhead. power sounds fun on paper but games with him drag so long

Pinhead
I won the dlc from a giveaway of one of my favorite streamers, so I kinda feel bad not playing him, but his main power somehow short-circuits my brain and I'm always confused when I "teleport back" after using the chains
0 -
Plague - Love her Design but sadly im Not so Good whit her would Love to get better whit her
Twins - before Dredge they was my Main becausei Love the Design and Lore but sadly they are so stressful to Play on Console
Pinhead - very Fun but awful to Play whit Controller i cant hit his Chains
0 -
Trickster for me. Controller is ass ):
1 -
I enjoy Sadako even though her condemn feels a little lackluster. Just overall fun to play for me.
1 -
1) Nurse. Too many dcs and that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that Nurse so hard while I easily down a survivor with a god setup.
2) Oni. I'm clumsy with his power and genuinely don't enjoy running into walls until I adjust my aim enough to go around and try to flick.
3) Dredge. I don't know why but any time I see his teleport animation I want to puke. It looks like the killer is crawling towards that damn locker.
4) Twins. Even though I find their concept pretty cool I don't exactly feel happines when my little brother gets held hostage or I have to suffer through an immense cooldown.

Anyone that isn't artist.
If I had to pick one, trickster, he's just so bad and even worse on controller.
1 -
Trickster, Legion, Sadako, Oni, and Nemesis.
Trickster - Console. I literally can't aim and from what I've seen it seems that I'm not the only one with that issue.
Legion - They kinda are fun cause running and stabbing is fun, but the lack of a power when they shouldn't use frenzy is kinda bad.
Sadako - She feels so gimmicky and weak. I definitely think their gonna buff her or rework her within this year cause she is kinda unhealthy for the game.
Oni - Same as Legion. You can't use your power sometimes so you literally have nothing.
Nemesis - Nemesis is a little fun for me but he feels so incredibly underwhelming. He feels like he should have so much more in his kit.
0 -
I want to enjoy every killer. Some I like less than others though.
- Nurse - My least favorite killer, I have no idea why the devs though staring at the ground half the match wouldn't be super annoying.
- Hillbilly - He just feels so clunky! Bubba just feels a lot smoother and Blight has at least as much mobility
- Hag - I love watching Michi play Hag, I just don't like playing her much though, I don't have the timing to hit the teleports reliably and she's so slow that without that she's not very good.
- Huntress, Deathslinger, Trickster - I don't like moving 110% and I'm not into ranged attacks. Not to mention DbD is weirdly the only first person shooter where characters don't have crosshairs, so annoying!
- Spirit - I don't like playing only by ear.
- Blight - If I played him often enough to hit his Lethal Rushes consistently I'd probably like him. I hardly play him though and I don't feel like practicing him just to get over that hump.
0 -
Freddy. I really like the character. He is so evil and his theme is so eerie, but damn, playing with him is just so hard that even a chill player like me can't seem to enjoy him.
0 -
Hag. She's way too stressful under MMR. My survivors always seem to know the perfect time to trip my traps to where I can't get any use of them, meaning I wasted like 30 seconds collectively placing all that. I try to give her a go every now and then but it's always the same story.
0 -
Doctor. I mained him pre rework, he feels too easy now. I miss the old doctor.
0 -
Hag.
But as I'm an anxious person, I can't keep up with her slow gameplay.
0 -
legion
i like running and stabbing but survivors hate them and they're still one of the most map dependent killers in the game
0 -
spirit, oni, huntress,, plauge
all amazing killers (maybe except spirit) but i suck ass at them
0 -
You know for a bit I was actually avoiding playing nurse because she seemed way too complex and disorienting but after playing a couple games with her I can say she feels the most satisfying to play. Landing successful blink attacks are genuinely some of the most fun i've had since I started playing killer. Outside of that though for some reason Billy makes me very anxious and I have no idea why.
0 -
The dredge is a main one for me the sounds and visuals from dredge make me physically ill as in I get headaches so I genuinely can't play dredge every once in awhile I play the game muted with like whispers but thats a bad experience usually
also hillbilly for some reason the game likes to put me against high mmr survivors when I play hillbilly and it's really discouraging trying to learn a killer

Like I really enjoy Freddy Krueger, Twins, Michael and Ghostface, but for me it's a few: Doctor, Wesker, Pig, Wraith, Legion, Clown and Blight.
• Blight's audio visual design is very cool, but after they buffed him a while ago people JUST play him because he's insanely powerful with good perks and addons. When I played him when he came out, he was one of the most hated Killers just from his low POV and he had a wonky hitbox but he was still very fun. Now just the worst Killer players play him with Pain Res, DMS and whatever just to stomp in pubs.
• Wraith's audio visual design is lame, but the concept is cool.
• Clown's audio visual and gameplay area don't sit with me, I like the idea of a creepy clown but he's not very creepy.
• Pig has no unique TR, being from a franchise that is known for its ICONIC soundtrack it just feels very cheap.
• Doctor is surprisingly weak and can have a lot of trouble ending chase quickly against coordinated groups, I like everything else about him tho.
• Legion's gameplay is awesome, his audio visuals suck.
• Wesker's animations were bugged post-6.2.2, a recent hotfix completely broke all his power animations. Otherwise I mostly like everything about him.

Trapper, Nemesis, Deathslinger. I'd love to play them, however playing vs good survivors and/or on bad maps is very unenjoyable on them, so i'll avoid them until they get a buff. I'll stick to Wesker until then.
1 -
I could say almost the whole roster, but I'll settle with Ghost face.
I don't need to really explain, but he's weak.
And he doesn't have an addon the shows survivors auras through walls for some reason. I thought he did and wanted 700k trynna get It. It was a pig add on I was thinking of. a PIG one. Outrageous.
1 -
Blight, sadly.
I tried to play him but his turn rate (even with add-ons) feels worse than Onis. But I recently watched Tofu's Pallet Break Video and he could turn better than me (even with adrenaline vile).
Is there a hidden technic to turn more or is just putting your sensitivity all the way up to 100%.
Also Hillbilly feels very weak and unrewarding, especially against experienced survivors. And to make it worse, there are pretty annoying maps for him, making enjoying him very unlikely.
I also have bad experience with set-up killers, since you get:
a) completely stomped with almost no hooks
or
b) two or all survivors die with little stress.
0 -
Nurse. If I lose sight of a survivor, I will always struggle to find them again, and Nurse looks down every 10 seconds because of fatigue, which makes her very unpleasant to play for me.
0 -
Freddy - Fake-Pallet-Fun-Gameplay vs. Gen-Defence. A lot of perks arent usable, his addons are bad.
Would love to see buffs/Addon-Pass.
1 -
Dredge for me too, Nightfall gets hard on the eyes after a couple of games and he’s just super simple and kind of boring to use
0 -
I would play nurse but she gives me motion sickness so I gave up on learning her 🙃
I kinda enjoy Wraith but is "grrr" annoys me and same for Plague when she have her power, the whispers are just too much for me. It's a shame because otherwise i enjoy her a lot.
0 -
Trapper. Takes too long to setup and since there's no SWF indicator you have no idea who is in voice chat calling out where you're putting traps and who isn't. Really fun to play otherwise though imo.
1 -
Myers... I just really like his design even if it is very simple. But playing him is often just painful as he just takes too long to get momentum and you lose gens too fast. I enjoy going against him though but often end up just feeling bad and relating to the player as the outcome is usually the same
1 -
He's just too easy and fast to reveal, really bad mechanics wise.
There's a binding in the keyboard settings called "Look Left/Right" that you can bind to keys on your keyboard that always give you the max turnrate with Killer abilities like Oni, Blight and Billy (even though they don't output the max turn rate for normal gameplay.) Try it and you will see you can literally turn 100 degrees to your side as Blight.

Hillbilly, I can’t steer to save myself have a similar problem with oni like em both but just can’t get into em.
Nurse, I wish I was better at nurse. She’s got one of the best powers in the game and a really creepy aesthetic. I can play her but just not good enough and I’m not motivated enough to put the time in to master it anymore.

Spirit. For my first few hundred hours of DBD pretty much all I did was play Spirit, and I loved it. But I am deaf in one ear, so needed to use prediction to be effective, and her nerf kind of eliminated my ability to do that effectively (at least against good survs), so using her now is not great for me.
And that makes me sad.
Also, I wish Hillbilly's power was more accessible.
But #1 might be Oni. One of my earliest DBD aspirations was to become a really good Oni, but I just can't with his power on console.
I would say the same of Blight and Nurse, but I don't really want to become part of that problem.
3 -
Nurse. I tried Nurse once when I first started playing DBD and I found her to be so unpleasant to play. Her cooldown animation and noise get super annoying, and considering she relies on her power so much, you spend half your match in that cooldown. It's not like other killers who can still be fun in M1 whilst you wait for their power to recharge, it's just a constant loop of: blink, blink, hit, cooldown. Blink, blink, cooldown. Blink, blink, hit, cooldown. I don't get the hype, personally. I know she's super powerful, but I find her annoying and unimmersive.
