Least favorite Killer to face and why?
Just doing a quick little research on the communities opinion. (P.S. Hi everyone that remembers me, I missed you all! Its been a little while.)
I will go ahead and participate by saying Legion is my least favorite Killer to face. The mending simulator is a huge portion of it. Overall they are just so mediocre to me lore, design, and power-wise.

dredge/plague are my least favorites. they are probably the killers i go next the most against. plague is super unfun to go against for me, she is a super good solo queue stomper and i rarely ever don't play solo queue. and dredge is a major accessibility problem with me. his nightfall makes me feel unwell and sickly. genuinely don't think anyone comes close to them except clown (same reason as dredge to a lesser extent) those 3 have their own special tier of awful

skull merchant I think its clear why

Welcome back Unicorn!
I would've said Legion as well, but Dull Merchant won me over to hating her more.
9 -
knight or SM
11 -
Knight, Billy, Legion, I used to love twins but do there hotboxes feel so unfair sometimes.
2 -
Plague and Skull merchant.
8 -
Plague, legion, skull merchant. Obvious reasons.
I’m really not a fan of Freddy either.
EDIT -Knight is absolutely terrible. So is artist.
3 -
Sadako, cause people in soloq I meet rarely play well against her and my games devolve into me running around and trying to save potatoes from the fire only to get sacrificed/sweat for a hatch.
Snore Merchant, but for the reason how silly her animation is. I refuse to engage this badly designed character in any way. I just kill myself on the first hook and move on.

Blight with Alc Ring. Imagine if every Killer with a cooldown had an add-on to instantly refresh their power on hit. It removes any semblance of balance. Cooldowns exist for a reason.
Lot of people saying Skull Merchant, and I get why. But I think once Overcharge/CoB is nerfed, she'll be much less annoying.
5 -
Clown. The bottle effect gives me headaches.
5 -
Trapper. Super annoying as a solo.
4 -
Skull merchant is easily the #1 for me. Just pretty boring.
Twins- slugfest isn't fun
Legion- mending fest isn't fun
Plague- puke fest isn't fun
Leatherface-primarily because of how often they camp with him.
One that I don't love to go against is pinhead. His chains can be super annoying.

Man I miss old freddy. He was awesome

Trapper
My diet which consists of magnets, magnets, and more magnets, are not ideal when going against crunchy toes
3 -
Bubba, because of 100% camping.
Pyramidhead/Wraith/Nemesis/Legion, because almost always tunneling.
All others are pretty much OK.

Skull Merchant currently takes the dubious honor. The gameplay against her is tedious, drawn out, and repetitive. Hacking a drone the very first time was cool. Hacking a drone every time you want to do a gen is repetitive and tedious. Hacking a drone for the fourth time in a trial only for the killer to walk up and immediately replace it is with another one is downright annoying.
She needs a complete rework from the ground up. Not since release Legion have I consistently been on solo queue teams that collectively say "nah" at the start of a trial this consistently against a killer.

Skull merchant. I probably don't need to explain why.

The saw brothers. Bubba's usually camp and it's always the same point blank saw with Billy.
Merchant gets an dishonorable mention due to how 90% of people play her.

Hi Unicorn! I remember you, good to have you back.
Surprisingly hard question cause i don't usually focus on negatives too much but if i had to pick probably hag.
More of how little the avarage soloq teammate knows about her then hag herself but yeah.
Nothing more agrevating then crouching to the hook for the unhooked person to instantly run and trigger the trap resulting in you getting make your choiced

Wraith- the character isn’t too bad (though I hate his snarling), it’s just the players who play him usually seem to be miserable people.
Trapper- I learned how weak he is against good survivors but that doesn’t change the fact that I get anxiety every time I go against him due to the fact that I always step in a trap when I get chased.
Tentacle Daddy- The killer himself is fine but Barbra and Harold always find me and chase me off of gens. I’m a magnet to them.
Freddy- His power is boring, attracts the same players as Wraith and I hate the dreamworld. He’s in dire need of an overhaul.

Trapper, Hag and Pig... by far my least favorite Killers to face
1 -
I had close to a 1 hr game against SM. Oh my glob was that draining 😫
2 -
LOL
3 -
I'm not sure what's up with Wraith, but for one that just plays the game I get three that act like they enjoy torturing hamsters in their spare time.

I have an irrational dislike for Deathslinger. It's not even that he's strong, his TR just makes me depressed.
0 -
Blight. He has for too much going on. Nightfall is abhorrent.
0 -
Me seeing hate towards Dredge, Billy, Sadako and Plague makes me want to cry ಥ╭╮ಥ
2 -
I’d say he has just enough going on.
0 -
Pinhead. His power is super obnoxious.
Legion. Just mending simulator games. As much fun as watching paint dry.
Skull Merchant. 30+ minute matches of drone camping three gens.
1 -
Trickster. His knives are so aggravating to deal with and there’s no counterplay to it other than just running forward and hoping he’s bad.
1 -
I only actively like only going against one killer, but I can name the 3 I can't stand the most though.
- Pinhead, the anti-solo queue man himself. I want to tear my hair out because unless you got a good matchmaking lobby solo q is just horrific in this. No one goes for the box until it's too late, and people make the werirdest decisions like 'I'm death hook, I'm the only one on death hook, and I'm injured, I'ma get the box :!)' and then it's a 3v1 at 2 gens left. I also find his voice lines really annoying and distracting.
- Huntress. I'm going to be honest, perhaps borderline a skill issue - but I think she has the problem of she's eventually going to down you that trickster has. I don't think being unpredictable (like switching the way you juke) is good enough counterplay because stuff like that forces you into a 50/50 (which is my main issue with nurse), and even if you take cover and break line of sight (which, is counterplay) is map dependent and you are at the mercy of your hitbox and latency if you try to take cover. The last time I played against huntress I was behind a wall completely, and I still got downed from latency. Ironically, I main huntress and have poured hundreds of hundreds of hours into her and a lot of times I think my god some hits I'm making are bs. I don't think she's op, and I think she's mostly balanced, I just find it annoying and you face them so often.
- Trapper. Completely on me. I am a goldfish and will step in the same trap twice.
Runner ups are nurse and blight because people give up immediately with them, I don't even blame them sometimes, but just makes for bad matches.
edit: oh my god I forgot about the worst of them all hag. I want chases, which she does not provide. I block her out of my memory and forgot all about her
1 -
Hag, no contest. Especially when they use the addon where the traps go off invisibly. I'd rather get 3-genned by skull merchant 10 times in a row.
1 -
My bottom 3 are Twins, Hag, and Trickster, in that order.
0 -
Nemesis. His zombie AI are free gen slowdown and they're just annoying to deal with as surv. Plus my brain from some reason turns to mush whenever I loop him, I just cant juke his whip unless the player is extremely new. Same goes for good Deathslingers. Skull Merchant is becoming a very close second.
0 -
Freddy. I know he's weak, but it bothers me to face him I never understood why.
0 -
Plague.
Shutting down an entire game mechanic thanks to her power makes her quite boring to me.
Also, her apparent counterplay isn't really counterplay but rahter a lose lose scenario. You either cleanse and give her 60 seconds of Omega Huntress or you don't cleanse and you're permanently exposed and easy to track. Also, the constant coughing is really annoying on some Survivors.
Then there is the solo reason I hate her so much, solo teammates will cleanse cleanse and cleanse left and right, they won't try to stay broken even for a second and will cleanse at the most detremental times possible.
Yeah, that's my little rant on her entire design.
0 -
Pinhead, there is nothing less fun then playing against a pinhead who knows box locations
0 -
Pinhead because I usually play solo queue and he’s stupidly OP if you can’t communicate with your teammates to know who is going to the box.
Overall worst (for solo and SWF) would be Legion. Such a terrible killer design that encourages incredibly long and boring mend simulator matches.

Wesker/trickster. I hate hearing their audio mess. Makes me want to DC every time. I don’t of course.
0 -
knight. the easiest question in the universe
1 -
Why knight? I don't love knight by any means but I don't think I hate him nearly as much as most
0 -
Snore Merchant. Not sure what I would have answered before her introduction.
3 -
there are quite a few contenders.
Clown and Plague not so much because of mechanics but visual/sound design of their powers.
Wraith mostly because I only ever see best add-ons Wraith played mostly by people who are of a particular kind. One that I stay clear of if given the choice.
These come to mind first but its rather subjective and conditional.
As for a General dislike, regardless of the soecific build but just the mechanuc it gotta be Pinhead. The way the box and the chains work is just something that makes me want to just go do a Narnia tech on a regular basis.

Huntress, Freddy, and Trickster. Haven't played against enough Skull Merchants to form a hate for her but I probably will eventually.
0 -
Twins, Birdie, Legion. It's almost never fun.
Plague when the team sucks.
Trickster with the bouncing add-on.
Huntress with the iridescent hatchet.
I've never versed a SM so I can't tell anything about it.
0 -
I don't like Pig.
1 -
Spirit, I'm not sure why no one is giving her any hate. Playing against her just feels like run in a random direction and hold m1 on gens simulator.
3 -
PC Blights, hug teching is unfair. 😒
2 -
I play solo too, and honestly 9 times out of 10 if I don't grab the box then no one will. The only thing that makes Pinhead games bad are a bad batch of team mates.
0 -
Console blights can hug tech too.
