Anti-Bully Killer Tier list
This is a rough draft and also not meant to really be taken seriously but considering how many complaints of bully squads there are I thought it would be fun to do a tier lit of what killer have the best kits to combat what typically players consider bullying (flashlights/tbagging at gates/saboing hooks) some of these killers are obviously not good at a high level but obviously if you're high mmr you really can't be bullied if you know what you're doing so ease of use and lower mmr was taken into consideration for this.
Happy to hear input into this some of these as I'm really not sure on some like Larry, Hag, and Huntress.

######### is a larry?
I don't think wraith can get bullied as much as he did before, now that his flashlight burn is gone. Pinhead is quite the victim if someone keeps hold of the box, same as Twins but she can recall after a while.

Wraith got burn removed? Since when?
I've been gone for a minute, but I thought I had caught up on everything. I had no clue about burn being gone.

Singularity = Larry
Pinhead is totally dependent on fighting over the box if you win you bully the survivors if you lose they can bully you so it's really a toss up but he gets into B tier cuz he can create entity blockers at gates if he chains someone and downs them so t-bagging at the gate is usually a bad idea against him.
Wraith is kinda just a regular m1 killer so he falls victim to basically everything.
Twins can keep people from leaving and victor can be a warning detection system against flashlights but maybe they belong in B tier instead cuz they fall prey to power struggle builds that usually run unbreakable and teamwork in general.

It's a recent change, same as nurse's lightburn no longer being a thing.

Hmm. I noticed I could wipe Hag's traps away now, so I'm guessing it applies to her as well.
Do flashlights still work against Artist's Crows? I know I can still blind Nemesis zombies, so I'm not sure.

Bubba is definitely top tier. I remember shortly after I started playing I got a bully squad with Bubba. They had fun and tbagged and macro spammed for a while. Until I got a down and a hook in the basement. Needless to say they suddenly stopped mocking me.
Legion I'd say is also great. Can't get a down? Outplay them at their own game. Start a war of attrition and stab them until they don't have fun anymore. At some point they will get bored of mending every 5 seconds.
I'm not sure where I would place Myers. As long as he doesn't have the addon of doom he is not really that much of a threat. And a bully quad will use that against him.
With the right build and addons Doctor can get pretty nasty as well. Have you ever played against a gen hostage Doctor on The Game? Because I have. I have also done it. And it's definitely not fun to go against. You pretty much hold them in tier 3 madness all game and keep stalling until you break their morale. That should work against bully squads just as well.
I'm not 100% sure if I'd place Wesker that high up in the list. If you are an inexperienced Wesker, a real bully squad will break you. I'm talking making you vault stuff on accident and teabagging you during every cooldown as well as blinds and head on stuns everywhere. If you are more experienced however you have good chances of turning such a game around.

Yeah flashlights don't clear her traps anymore and don't work on swarms or idle crows.

flashlights are only for blinds now. it only works against nemesis' zombies, and that's it

I see. Thank you both!

I'd put Hag and Trickster in A.
I tend to snowball really hard with Trickster when survivors try to bully. Main Event rips through health states quickly. And you always have the chance of landing some cheeky long range snipes on survivors who get cocky or stop paying attention with their Laceration meter built up.
And Hag can be tough to bully once you learn to stay patient and while your traps are being harassed.
Granted, my definition of a bully squad is a group of survivors getting in a killer's face and trying to put them on a montage. If we're talking a squad of actually good survivors who are being optimal and simply playing to win, I don't think Hag or Trickster are good.

The problem with Trickster is he struggleds on most maps a bully squad will want to take you to but I acknowledge main event will destroy a team that doesn't respect it.

Pinhead is (kind of) a glorified M1 killer, he's not that hard to bully sadly. Anyone with comms can handle him without too much trouble

about 6 months ago, all flashlight interactions with killers got removed. all they do is blind now, nothing else. if its not a blind it cant do it anymore. except nemmy zombies for some reason, they still get blinded.

Bro you had them mad as hell fr fr

Lightburn was removed a long while ago now, I dont remember the exact update but it's been awhile.
I wish DBD did a better job at informing players since I still get people trying to Lightburn Wraith despite it being removed.
