    Disgusting: Hag, Clown, Legion, Trickster, Twins, Knight and Dredge

    Annoying: Nurse, Doctor, Freddy, Plague, Cenobite

    Depends: Trapper, Wraith, Cannibal, Spirit, Blight, Nemesis, Artist, Sadako

    Fun: Shape, Huntress, Ghost face, Oni, Deathslinger, Demo, Executioner

    Always Fun: Billy, Pig, Wesker

    Cannibal would be in always fun if not for the camping problem and plague would be higher in SWF but in solo its a nightmare with dumb randos that kill you and get infected immediately after.

    Nurse, Blight, Spirit, Wesker, Billy (yeah I said it) and Myers.

    Really I just don't like the high mobility always on you killers cuz they're stressful. Myers is just because they're always running tombstone or infinite t3 nonsense, you hardly ever see a Myers run anything else.

    Because it feels like you never have any downtime against them. You can lose them but they can down someone else and then be on you again very quickly.

    If we are talking flat out annoying killers it would be Legion, Pinhead, and Doctor. Doctor’s entire schtick is to annoy the player, Legion just hits and runs and commits to no chases, and Pinhead completely destroys solo queue with the box mechanic.

    The hit and run Wraith build is also one of the most annoying and dull things you can ever face. It’s the basic Legion playstyle, but better. It’s the reason I despise seeing Wraith.

    A lot of it comes down to the killer's playstyle and my mood that day so it varies.

    Unless its Hag. Don't remember the last time I enjoyed going against her. Also Wraith is up there too.

    Its wraith. Good wraith destroy you, bad one gets destroyed. There is nothing in between.

    Legion...eh. Don't hate facing them - the worst thing is that every game has an 'oh no, I got injured! DC!' teammate.

    Wesker - love facing them. Not even seeing that many anymore.

    Bubba...yeah. But the ones who don't facecamp really struggle.

    TSP Myers is gross, but IT3 is fine unless they are camping.

    Legion, Pinhead, Trickster, Twins, Knight, GF and probably Plague

    But I rarely ever see Twins and hopefully it stays that way

    Deathslinger is just a boring block LoS as long as you can with little interactivity. Very boring. Hag is just gonna be them picking a 3 gen, hook someone in the 3 gen, then never leave and essentially every single hook save to be a trade for the rest the game. I don’t blame them for this as it’s what you have to do with her, it’s just super boring and non interactive. I’d say huntress and spirit are my favorites to face.

    Pinhead and Trickster is for me most disgusting. Not because they are S-Tier or whatever but pinhead is just annoying... and for trickster i always imagine a 12yr old player addicted to some anime/k-pop stuff who unleashes all his inner hate against the survivors, usually combined with camping and/or tunneling (not all but most i faced) :D


    EDIT: oh and NURSE if played decent/good.... just no chance.

    Not in order.

    1. Nemesis. The Zombie RNG is very frustrating. I don't really enjoy going against his chase power once he has his levels. They also all seem to be very serious? I don't think I've ever met a nemesis running a goofy build or that gave someone hatch.
    2. Plague. I am very squeamish and honestly probably emetophobic, so she's very uncomfortable.
    3. Knight. Obvious complaint is just dropping his power at a loop and forcing you to hold w to the next one. But also, after putting a lot of hours into playing him, I've come to find that his optimal playstyle is frankly pretty evil. Basically asides from what you do in chase abuse your 3-gen potential.

    Honorable mentions: Blight, but only when he brings his amazing addons. Legion if they focus on forcing you to mend all the time even if you're already injured, not all do this though.

    Pinhead, Legion, or Knight with slowdowns because the games usually take so long if they didn't use the genkick meta I would be more than fine going up against them, even Pinhead, but its just feels so boring it makes me want to genuinely just fall asleep because Eruption paired with call of brine and overcharge is just too much on a killer with stuff in their kit to already slowdown the game.

    Legion, knight and probably twins or hag,, i absolutely hate hate these 3,,they make me wanna sleep on my keyboard, honorable mention is scratched mirror Myers,, for some reason all they do is camp their one hook behind some wall in lerys instead of trying to be spooky

    I know people really like GhostFace, but I personally can't stand him. Most of the ones I've come across are sweaty tryhards who run the meta perks and use map offerings (could justt be my bad luck tho). Also, other games are thrown because my team wants to photo bomb GF's mori's.

    Myers is also annoying, purely for the few I've run across that were running purple tombstone piece and tuft of hair. My first interaction with the killer goes like this, I carefully sneak my way around the map completing one and a half generators before my team accidentally leads Myers to me, this is usually after he has stalked the rest of my team, my fate is then to be grabbed and insta mori'ed. Like it is so unfun that my first interaction with the killer, before I can loop him or even get away is to be insta grabbed then killed. Most exciting 3 minutes of gameplay. >.>

    Anything that promotes w or takes away skilled play from survivors consistently. They actually made knight in 2023 lmao.

    Hag: fear of stepping on a trap all the time.

    Trapper: same reason as Hag.

    Ghostface: You have to be turning the camera all the time while repairing generators and it isn't always enough for avoiding being marked.

    Jumpscare Myers (Scratched Mirror + Closed Map offering).

    Pinhead: SoloQ destroyer, too much pasive pressure with the box.

    As a concept Clown and Plague. Just URGH.

    Depending on what build they put on I really dislike "funny Legion", "funny Pinhead" and "funny Wesker".

    Nurse, Blight and Spirit with you-know-which-addons are miserable as well but I guess I'm jaded enough at this point to not care anymore.
