What Killers do you enjoy going up against and vice versa? What makes you like/dislike them?

I want to see if there's a common trend on which Killers people like going up against and which people don't like to go up against. For example, I really like going up against fast Killers like Hillbilly, Blight, and Oni because as a survivor not only do they constantly require me to think a little outside the box to counter them but they each have not only fun but fair counterplay which lets me have really enjoyable chases with them. Demo, Wesker, and Bubba also kinda apply but they have some issues IMO.

On the other hand anyone with an extremely oppressive chase power I tend to strongly dislike due to the fact that the chase will always just boil down to holding W and dropping pallets down early. Killers like Deathslinger, Artist, Spirit, and especially Nemesis. Also, other Killers I dislike are M1 Killers as they're just not that fun to loop, like Wraith, Trapper, Freddy, Clown, Legion, Myers, Ghostface, Plague, and Doctor. The type of Killer I despise the most are secondary objective Killers like Pig, Cenobite, and Sadako as these mechanics can be used to get Kills I just really don't like (Pig purposely chasing one survivor off of boxes, Sadako slugging everyone constantly, Cenobite chaining together boxes.)

Honorable mentions to hag for being really good at camping and having uninteresting chases IMO, Trickster feels like he either downs you quickly or you loop him insanely long + being huntress but with less skill, Twins for slugging for the whole match, Phead for being a tunnel machine, Nurse because every time I play against her I'm just playing the same way every time which gets old real quick, and Dredge just being kinda...Meh. Not bad but not exactly groundbreaking, just boring to play against.

What type of Killer do you guys enjoy going up against and Vice Versa? Also included a tier list to act as a TLDR.

    For me, Huntress, Oni, Blight, Billy, and Wesker are all very fun to play against. They all change up how you have to loop them compared to m1 killers and I find that aspect of coming up with different ways to escape them very fun. Their chases tend to be very interactive and playing mindgames on both sides is fun.

    I'd say Trickster and Nurse are possibly my least favorites to go up against. For Trickster, it's because his chase power is super oppressive to the point where you already know you will go down eventually as most tiles aren't great for avoiding his big supply of fast knife throws. Ironic since he is my main and I find him enjoyable to play as, but he'd be more enjoyable to play against if he had a different throwing style. For Nurse, I just don't like that she can go through walls and has a very oppressive power that, most of the time, makes it clear that you can't escape from it.

    Every other killer for me, I'm basically neutral about. Usually depends on the situation to decide if I will enjoy going up against them or not.

    Love: I love going against Ghostie simply because most players meme around and act silly, even when playing in a serious way. Demo because they're just generally fun and chill. Billy because the same reason.

    Hate: Pinhead because I'm a solo player. Wesker because I see him almost every match and his voice lines get annoying after a while. Pyramid Head because most of them tunnel for some weird reason. Legion because mending simulator. Hag because it's Hag. Nurse because it's Nurse.

    Every other killer I'm pretty neutral with.

    I like playing against wesker. He is strong, but has counterplay. Its interesting to play around his power and move accordingly.

    I dont like nemesis. I cant loop against him most of the time. I guess i need some more practice against him and need to change how i loop. Zombies are annoying. Most of the time useless, but it feels so dumb if they harrass your gen or make looping impossible.

    Trapper is a problem bc i have trap-blindness.

    Legion, Pinhead and Bubba are my most hated.

    Legion matches are boring as #########. Pinhead matches are horrific in solo q. And Bubba is gonna facecamp.

    There is only one killer that's my fav to go against - demo. Same with only one killer I really hate to face (yet I never DC tho - hate it much more) - hag. Rest depends on playstyle, even nurse can be fun to play against.
