Which Killers do you respect/have fun with the most?

Just for some fun, which killers/builds do you respect and why?

I'm pretty low MMR, for me it has to be:

  • Hillbilly and Oni. Regardless of builds, if he catches you, it's cause he's a good player. I never once felt cheated by either of these killers (assuming no face camping).
  • Pig with Combat Straps and Ambushing addons (instead of any bear trap timer add ons). A chase Pig is great, I have a lot of fun vs. Her.
  • Basic Shape. I love standard Myers, I don't like any off his goofy add ons, silent Myers and mori Myers are very frustrating, but standard Myers is spooky, and a lot of fun.
  • Cenobite w/o box tracking addons. Obviously as a soloQ vs. Cenobite can get crushed, but I get a strange satisfaction facing Pinhead. I enjoy juking his chains and his slow down is strong, but it feels like there is room for people who know how it works to mitigate the issue for players who don't.
  • Huntress ofc, because Huntress.
  • Nemesis because his big thudding feet really mess with me... especially with Tinkerer, I crap myself every time.
  • Dredge because he ofc takes the jump scare prize... I have legit had my hand jump off my controller facing Dredge, and again nothing feels bad from his addons.
  • Honourable mention to Trapper. I respect Trapper's, but I really hate facing them, cause I am apparently blind xD

    Billy for sure, as long as he‘s using his chainsaw. Had a rare Billy game yesterday, haven‘t had so much fun in DbD in a while.

    Nurse if she’s merely good and neither bad nor godlike.

    Dredge: horrible to face, but in a weirdly good way. Nightfall is genuinely unpleasant.

    Bubba: can't really hate Bubba. Yes, he's a campy boi, and I've seen my share of face-camps, but I still can't hate him.

    All killers except Nurse, Blight and SM.

    Sure i hate to go against Hag, Twins, Trickster etc but it just because i don't like their gameplays.

    So i respect all killers except Nurse, Blight and SM. Because they are not playing easy mod, they are playing killers which both sides have chance to win.

    All I need is pig with Amanda's letter and an indoor map offerings. It's just fun sneaking around corners and seeing how/when people react.

    I respect all Killers who don't go Chess Merchant or similar annoying playstyles to a degree, but i really love people who put hours in characters most don't want to play, the underdogs like Deathslinger, Clown, Twins, Doctor and Miss Piggy

    Clowns I have respect for. Been playing him and realized that it's harder than it looks.

    Twins, Billy, Pig, Oni and Pyramid head.


    Zero respect for hag

    I tend to respect the killers who are the most likely to goof off at least once per match and embrace the party aspect of the game. Those being Plague, Pig, Billy, Huntress, Booba, Ghostface and Nemesis.

    I live in a parallel universe where every Booba I meet is extremely honorable and flees the hook like he's allergic to it, and Nemesis players almost always goof off and never tunnel. Don't envy me though, as in my universe, Hag is actually reasonably common.

    Billy: regardless of builds , hes a cutie.

    Pig: if shes playing normally instead of just going for headpops ignoring anyone without a reverse beartrap.

    Legion: If playing normally, I love facing the ones with chase builds, however teammates can be a huge factor on this.

    Trapper: hes fun to go against every now and them , but if they are running a hardcore basement build yeah ill pass.

    Slinger: Dodging their shots its soo fun to me , like really fun , even if i get tunneled for them; i dont care regardless of builds.

    Honorable mention:

    Oni , the reason i dont have that much fun with him its because teammates can literally make my time miserable if they are getting hit like flies over and over too early on the match plus wasting resources to early on.

    I literally have fun with any killer that don't camp or tunnel (which is SUPER RARE).

    I struggle with some killers more and don't know how to counter them (ghostface, singularity, nurse, blight), but it's still fun when they not being morons and not stick to single survivor or put nose into groin of hooked survivor.

    Knight and Leatherface despite their tendencies to facecamp a lot but if they do chase? Oh I'm in for some good time.

    basically all of them

    Billy. I main him and I know how hard he is. I love to play against other Billy players because it feels like a constant back and forth and I can sometimes learn from them.

    Huntress. I played against a Huntress that hit me with double hatchets once. That was one of the most incredible things I've seen a killer do in my games. Mad respect for anyone that can pull off some insane snipes with her.

    Oni. Another very hard and very demanding killer with a lot of counterplay and constant back and forth in chase.

    Nemesis. I love playing against Nemesis. Especially when they use the tentacle to go for some ambitious hits.

    I really like facing Wesker,he's strong but his power leaves room for you to outplay him,and it also has intricacies that immediately tell you the killer is experienced with him.

    Hillbilly and Blight are the funnest killers to go against.

    that would be pyramidhead, simply because he has build flexibility and you can do a lot of things, adapt to every situation and easily counter flashlight squads, hook sabotage squads, anti-slugging builds, unhook builds, he can deny all of that.

    also passive iridescent mori that doesn't waste time, great great great.

    The weird symphony of children chanting/mumbling during Nightfall is genuinely creepy as hell. They hit the nail on the head with that one.

    Disagree. I feel that Wesker's M2 hitbox is ridiculously generous. I can't tell you the amount of times I've seen him physically go past me only for me to be sucked into a grab. Or, even worse, the classic being grabbed on the other side of a window or pallet.

    Killers I pretty much always have fun playing against: Nurse, Billy, Huntress, Deathslinger, Demo and (so far) Xeno.

    I respect killers who play Singularity and Billy well because I wish I could do that lol. More generally I respect killers who obviously go out of their way to "play fair" and not tunnel.

    Oni, Wesker, Billy, Bubba, Nemesis, Sadako, Clown, any Killer who goes for hooks instead of kills

    Cept Hag, Hag can jump off a bridge.

    None.

    I often read that Demo, Ghostface and Billy players are really nice and chill, but I've been BMed by them so much that at this point I have no respect for any Killer by default.
