Do people really want greater killer diversity?

I'd rather play against the old skull merchant than get more hag games. Hag is by far the most horrible killer to play against in the entire game. Every hag game is exactly the same and it never gets anymore enjoyable. I've been playing a lot of scroll wheel hag lately and the amount of DCs I get is INSANE. Twins should be obvious since every game involves an excessive amount of slugging. Legion is hated because mend simulator isn't fun. Although this really depends on the player. Legion games were especially bad when the rework first went live. This was because every legion was obsessed with trying to get a down with their power. You just had to mend constantly since they would never chase normally. The games are still unfun but they are much more tolerable than they were.

If we just got more wesker type killers with extremely high mechanical skill but a low skill floor with interesting counterplay then this problem would vanish overnight.

I see quite a few different killers. Many Weskers but also some Trappers, Wraiths (who I don't like playing against), Deathslingers and the occasional Blight. I would like to see even more killer diversity but honestly it's no wonder that some killers' pickrates are abysmal.

Nobody plays Twins, so I would be fine with facing them for a change but they're not the most fun killer to play against. There power is literally slugging. They get punished for not doing it and they can't prevent it thanks to that massive 8 seconds cooldown. It has been a while since I last saw a Hag but I would take one. Caitlyn 3Genner is still awful. Her chases are pretty boring and the chess play style still works. Knight leaves no room for actual looping and forces you to Shift + W. Not all that fun but I'll take him over SM. Sadako can feel pretty bad to play against. She just insta kills you and won't commit for long chases. Artist is not the most fun killer to play against but it's something different from what you usually get in a chase, so it can be fun for that reason alone. I really have no issues with Pinhead. As long as it's not with Original Pain / Engineer's Feng. That is pretty nasty.

I don't get why anyone would compare to play against Freddy nowadays. He is so incredibly weak, that you can do whatever the hell you want and it will counter him in some way. Plague is always a more sweaty experience. Survivors need to finish the game fast because they can't heal and the Plague will have to find a way to force survivors to cleanse. I have nothing against going against a Plague every once in a while but if her pick rate were to skyrocket I'd probably take a little break from playing survivor.

It has been so long since I last saw someone else play Hillbilly. I would really like to play against another. Unfortunately they are a rare breed.

Then we'd have a new problem: all the popular killers feeling the same.

Lol no. I think I'm only P11 or P12 Freddy

survivor just want every killer nerfed to have easy games. only killer ask for killer diversity so they can play different killers without being at a massive disadvantage.

I dont get the hate with Hag shes super bad after her last nerf but even before that I'd say she was one of the more fun killers.

Idk which killers I think are fun now a days, most of them suck to go against tbh now lol. Maybe Hag, Pig, and Sadako can be fun but thats about it now.

Wise words 💜

Hot take:

No, many people actually do not want that, i don't even think they understand that they don't.

People want the Killers they like to be picked and no one else. Its very evident even in this thread, something we have to accept is if we want the game to be balanced, we will have to live with Killers we don't like having a similar pick rate to those we don't. Everyone who argues "Yeah anyone but (insert Killer here they don't like for subjective reasons)" can't be taken seriously nor sound regarding balance. Just see the amount of people who claim a Killer they don't like is objectively bad purely for reasons that are completely subjective, i personally blame some content creators for spreading this rot.

Imagine a CoD player leaving bad reviews on fighting or RTS games claiming they are bad when in reality he doesn't even know how to judge the game by its mechanics, themes, style etc. and simply wrote a bad review because he doesn't like the game genre (which by itself is fine btw), that is how many here act.

Today I learned: Hag is the most fun killer ever.

She's also hot. I feel like playing some Hag now.

It won't be solved because huge ego problem was rooted since game release.

This is also common to killers I beleive.

Most survivors will hate killers who are annoying, boring, very strong 'unless they are bad'.

Game is more than 7 years old and they still hate camp, tunnel, slug, hit & run, many slowdown perks.

And if any killers who they hate win with strats they hate, they say killer don't deserve win and call the match was cheap.

Funny thing is they complain everytime and always click 'ready' button after game.

I tend to use boring to describe killers who are allergic to chase, and are typically awful at it. It's not restricted to a particular character (usually), but a player play style.

Dropping chase to kick or patrol gens, or killers who are trying desperately to hold a 3 gen from the beginning of the game, for example. Can even be applied to the iri head huntress proxy camping a hook for free downs.

There's no actual gameplay there, just someone who's trying to play PvE gen kick simulator instead of DbD.
