What is your least played killer and why?

For me it’s probably Trapper or Freddy. Both have pretty garbage tier powers, and anytime I try them out for variety it always feels like a losing battle.

Trapper especially, as the years go on he just feels worse and worse to play, and the maps get bigger and have less cover for his traps.

Freddy is just dull. I’m not even gonna entertain the idea of explaining why. You know.

Twins and Sadako would probably be up there too if I bought them, but I believe in somewhat good spending habits!

    Freddy simply due to him getting nerfed into oblivion. I played him as a main for awhile then the nerfs just kept coming


    Legion shortly after him on the list for having a generally bad power (same as freddy).

    I do not like playing as Executioner or Dredge. I mean I could. But I never want to.

    Dredge I think has a weak power. It doesn't feel good or excite me to teleport to the lockers. He's probably due for some sort of buffs. Feels like his only advantage is the speed of returning to hook. Zubat compared him to Hag with extra steps. That's what it feels like for me.

    Executioner I really enjoy caging and mori'ing survivors, but his ranged ability doesn't feel good with the change in sensitivity while holding the M2. I don't think they should change it necessarily but I don't enjoy it.

    Dredge. Haven't unlocked him yet.

    On PC, Twins or Freddy because I literally haven’t bought them.

    Overall, Doc but I’ve been playing him a lot more in the last few days.

    Nurse.

    Not a fan of her gameplay.

    I can use her pretty well, but the sound effects, camera shaking, etc. are too grating.

    Aside from her, I play everyone else a little bit :3

    Sadako, she's the one Killer I refuse to play even though I still enjoy going against her and I definitely enjoyed playing as her in the PTB

    She's just at the top of my 'Fun, but not fun enough to deal with the bull*' list. Its fun trying to use creative mindgames with some of the stealth Killers, but there's only so much you can do with your M1 and shaky mobility. Hopefully she gets a touch-up soon, Freddy too

    Nurse is the only killer I actively never play. I even keep a Nurse daily ritual in my log just so it never appears again. I can't stand Nurse staring at the ground half the match, it's so irritating. If she kept her head up between blinks I might give her another shot, even if they balanced that out by slowing down her Blink refresh, but as is I have zero interest in ever playing her.

    Other than Nurse I typically play a game or two of whatever killer I have a daily ritual for that night. I enjoy some killers more than others but I don't particularly play any killer more than anybody else.

    Twins. I really want to like them, but their power is just so buggy and clunky to use.

    Huntress. My muscle memory with Slinger makes me chuck hatchets into walls constantly and go for shots that are simply impossible for her.

    Hag. The whole proxy camp playstyle isn’t for me.

    Dredge. Just don't find the power that interesting. Second least played is the Artist. Her audio is too harsh for me.

  • NomiNomad
    NomiNomad Member Posts: 3,181

    Hag. I hate her. I hate her playstyle. She's the ######### worst.

    Second would prolly be Plague or Artist.

    Billy. His chainsaw feels so clunky it seems like I have to fight the game mechanics to hit Survivors with it.

    Hag.

    I played exactly ONE (1) [I] game with Hag to get the adept, and then never again.

    hag and spirit cause i genuinely enjoyer killers like clown more.

    Probably wraith and Freddy because I find them super uninteresting.

    But I'd also add Spirit because I play without headphones so I feel like I'm never gonna be able to use her 100%

    Billy or Freddy

    Freddy isn't as unique since the rework and i've got a grudge against Billy from all the ones that keep trying to point blank saw me.

    Trickster. Can't play him on console, moreso than Nurse, Huntress, Oni, etc.

  • Ayamir

    Legion is just boring and a cringe killer in general you get free injures for using M2 no mechanical skills needed my mans is just dull and uninspired,he's still garbage tier tho.

    Same for Plague both of those killers reward you with injures for just using M2 run Corrupt and puke on gens 0 brain thinking or mechanical skills needed.

    I only play them if I have a daily ritual otherwise I never touch them the way they play is just not for me.

  • LapisInfernalis

    Bubba. I maybe played him 2-3 times in total. I just dispise everything about him and that he stands for the most boring playstyle in this game.

    I also don't like loud killers like Oni, Dredge, Demo or Nemesis. The only exception to this is Pyramid Head.

    Twins and Hag are also low on my list.

    For me it's Dredge and Oni. For the life of me I can't enjoy them. They both feel like tanks to me. Incredibly clunky and somewhat sluggish. I know a lot of people like both of these killers and they definitely aren't weak but I can't play them.

    As a console player, Blight, Trickster and Hillbilly are killers I never play unless going for a specific tome challenge. It's agonizing to control / aim with them. Though I acknowledge that it's probably a skill issue on my part.

    I see a lot of people hating on Hag but she's my fav killer to play 👀

    Nurse, she makes me very motion sick.

    There were some excellent Console Billy's back in the day.

    Console Blight won't ever get to PC Blight levels of performance, but I would still say he's top 5.

    Trickster is bad on PC and probably the worst Killer on Console.

    Spirit.

    I quite simply don't find her power fun to use. I don't have any more proper explanation, playing her just leaves me thinking "Man, I'd rather play another killer right now". Has nothing to do with strength or anything it's just not for me I guess.

    Freddy - Boring.

    PH - Boring addons.

    Hillbilly and Oni - Just never got a feel for them.

    Onryo - Too map dependent.

    Nurse - Too one dimensional.

    I think top 3 least played from top of my head would be:

    1. Nurse

    - I hate playing her and playing againts her. She is not fun for me since I don't main her and she is difficult for me to play as well. Even if I am winning with her I am usualy not having good time since she is frustraiting for me.

    2. Hag

    - Compare to Nurse, Hag is way more fun for me to play as but still I usualy not play her. She is too slow and short for me, you can't chase with her and you have to relly on your traps. I usualy play her ineffectively because I would be bored to just sit and wait for traps to trigger without any chasing.

    3. Shape or Bubba

    - They both have not interesting, simple power that doesn't interest me. I would rather play someone else.

    I still play a lot of Hag, and she's likely my most played killer.

    I never camp and I barely slug.

    Instead, I run Monitor on her and I roam around, putting down traps like a minelayer at junctions and high traffic areas and then herd people towards them. It works really damn well, but you desperately need CI to buy you time initially.

    My least played killers:

    Hag : played once, simply because I don’t like her play style.

    freddy : played a handful of times since nerf. For obvious reasons.

    Artist : her counter is boring.

    Plague : played a couple times. She’s powerful but not really my style

    Hag because she's boring as hell to play, at least for me. I just don't like set up killers

    oni, I can't use his power... waiting for bots on console.

    My least played killer is Blight, because...

    1. He's hard to learn, even if you did learn him, he's hard to play.
    2. Driving mouse left and right through whole table is not a healthy way of playing. In my opinion.
    3. I don't like making changes in my keyboard or mouse, just to play certain killers.
    4. "Hugging techs" or other stuff that you have to "learn" on him is a clear bugs, I don't like using bugs.

    I would love to play him tbh, I like the design, I like sounds, I like animations, I like the power, but... I can't, it's so weird.

    Blight is just not my type of killer. Sadly.
