Which killers/killer characters do you hate not because of their power?

For example, I hate a Trickster not only because of his power, but because he is strange (although in fact I hate him with a huge amount of irony)..i think

And I also dislike Frank because I find him too bad a person (for a long time I basically did not play for this legion skin)

And I just wondered if there are still people here who are able to dislike killers not because of their power but because of other factors, by the type of visual design and the nature of the killer as a whole.

    I particularly hate Nemesis' animations, they look very artificial. He running around looks like a toy and his M1 animation looks like a guy who has all his ego embedded in the muscle of his arms. Simply pathetic.

    I don't dislike their characters, but Mastermind's and Trickster's running animations just seem odd and goofy to me. I've never played Resident Evil so I don't know if that is somehow part of Wesker's character in the franchise.

    You could look at the Twins and their lore. Carrying a dead corpse within your body and never removing it? Unsettling. That corpse coming back to life and living within your body? Unnerving.

    And the Blight. While carrying with him the most lore relating to the mysterious and evasive pustula flowers and serum, his person is also unsettling. The character was designed to show the excessive effects of the serum, and his deteriorating form makes for a creepy character [in a horror game] - his face is destroyed, his jawbone melted away, and his hands all but bone. Again, he makes for a simply uncouth appearance of a character.

    I hate Blights who give up trying to rush me and just run me down to M1.

    I also hate Blight. Mid tier posing as a top tier. Pffft. Trapper could take him 1v1.

    I don't like clown due to the fact he make a sound while vaulting. I don't know if it coughing or him licking his tongue when he see my finger.

    I dislike Wesker. He seems off. If you know what I mean.

    I hate the Clown because I don't like Clowns (he's an especially repulsive and nasty one at that). I don't like his laugh. Pretty much everything about him makes my skin crawl.

    I'm not saying this is a bad thing, by the way. This is a horror game after all. But he's easily the most horrific character to me.

    Plague.

    I'm not even among those people who gets nauseous from the vomiting and the sounds. I just don't find it jolly, and rather play anyone else. Got all her perks from the shrine, so I'll happily never get her.

    Regarding Nemesis… “running around looks like a toy”

    🤣idek why but this is too comical😂

    Always felt there was sth silly about Nemo’s movement, tho couldn’t quite find an accurate description for it

    Victor

    I know he’s older, but he just comes off as baby vibes when I see him; and how he’s always scampering around, looking like a completely possessed demonic child is somewhat off-putting. Just not a fan.

    Wesker

    Trickster

    Skull Merchant

    Legion


    There's a theme developing.....

    I don't really hate any killer, but if I had to choose, I'd choose Charlotte, simply because of lost potential. She could be so much more scary and cool with a few animation and voice improvements.

    She is supposed to be obsessively protective of Victor, and yet when seperated from Victor or even when Victor gets kicked in the face, she just seems blank and disinterested.

    Give me snarls and furious chattering when Victor is grappling a survivor, give me angry wails and global screams when Victor gets crushed... sell me on it damnit!

    Maybe Legion. I don't know why, because I am totally fine when I play him/her. Btw, genuine question with curiosity: why you are using the trickster as your profile even though you hate him so much?

    Wesker, Nurse and Blight

    For fun and Irony. A trickster is the best killer for jokes, so why not make fun in such a strange ironic way?  

    He is one of my main characters, but unlike the others, I play for him only because I hate him and because his style, his nature is just great for jokes. My God, in almost every game I play for him, I constantly make arbitrary movements so that it looks like a crazy dance.


    And so...I just hate him and that's it. Thanks for asking.

    Legion, Trickster, Wesker, Skull Merchant

    They all lack horror vibes and not scary at all.

    Hate Trickster and SM. (For obvious facial and animational reasons)

    I’ve never cared for flashy things or people who think they’re better than someone else for superficial reasons. So obviously, trickster and wesker are both disliked.

    Legion. Bunch of uppity teens who killed one person between the four of them. The Entity must have been high or drunk when it chose to bring them into the fog.

    While I don't have a problem with huntress overall, I can't stand that different hum she has with the legendary skin. The sound of it gets on my nerves so much and I really dislike going against that skin.

    Don't like Trickster and Skull Merchant, I think their visual designs are really lame and their lore is really bad. Both feel like they were made to pander to pop culture trends, without much substance to carry them.

    The Twins are technically better written but I just don't like their concept. Probably the most uninteresting killer to me, they don't appeal to me at all.

    At least Artist makes creaking sound and I like Knight's footstep sounds while being chased.

  • SMitchell8

    The first thing I loved about Knight was his footsteps (as killer) He has arguably my favourite TR music.

    Skull Merchant and Artist's backstories make me not like them.

    Xenomorph and Plague's lack of a weapon hit animation makes them feel less satisfying to play.
