Your worst Killer to play against

What is your worst Killer to play against? Mine is the Cenobite. I objectively do play worse against him than any other Killer. The reason being is that I refuse to solve the puzzle cube. I’m afraid that if I solve it in the game he will show up in real life and take me away 😂

What Killer(s) are you for some reason bad against? Why?

    Dull Merchant. I tend to take a nap mid-game and that messes me up SO bad smh.

    Twins, Hag and Trickster.

    Death slinger & Demo.

    I have no idea why but it always seems to go wrong against them.

    Slingers just seem to proxy camp me litterally every time

    & demoI really couldn't say what it was but they usually have my number its actually more surprising when I get out of the gate against them!

    Seen so many demos since their return too & had a fair few bs hits against me that make a hunteress hatchet look fair!

    I used to roll my eyes at weskers but these days I have a rule play vs wesker once all good play vs wesker twice im playing killer or turning the game off rest of the day.

    Some days I get 20 plus games in on survivor a lot of days I don't get to 5!

    Cenobite, knight and nurse I would say is my worst. I just don't know how to survive chases with them ( I know a little of nurse but against a good nurse I'm hopeless, and cenobite I can sometimes dodge the power)

    Plague. I just find everything she does a turn off, I just want to go to the next match, I don't want to play with people who chose her.

    Close second is dullmerchant of course. I can feel my eyes roll way back when I hear her chase music.

    Knight and Trickster.

    Knight because there is no engaging or fun gameplay when versing one, all he has to do is place a guard down, you have to hold W, and you eventually go down because you run into an area with no pallets or a deadzone which is a free down, and the cycle repeats.

    Trickster because he feels super oppressive when your at a low tile/loop, and once he's up on you there is no getting away it's pretty much game over unless you have a safe pallet or wall to go behind which can stall him, but he will eventually get you downed.

    The devs giving Trickster these upcoming buffs is going to make him more miserable to face, I'm not ready for him what so ever once those changes hit live servers.

  • Xernoton
    Xernoton Member Posts: 5,842

    Wraith. I always have the luck of him teleporting across the map to hit me in a dead zone. For some reason, whenever I get chased by a Wraith all the pallets on the map just disappear. Funnily enough, they come back when he's gone. 😂

  • edgarpoop
    edgarpoop Member Posts: 8,369

    Skull Merchant is the obvious one.

    Not so obvious one: Ghostface. Especially if they're a console Ghostface. They're immune to the reveal mechanic. I'm at the point where I don't even bother trying to reveal him anymore because it just puts me out of position.

  • cmmurray74

    Trickster, Deathslinger and Skulk Merchant.

  • Xyvielia

    Ghostface

    I always just know it’s him, when it’s too quiet and can sense him sneaking around like a little creeper!

    Then I get paranoid of where he is and get all panicky that he’s about to startle me right off the couch or sth… I srsly play DBD waay differently when it’s GF, but I’m much better w his jumpscare shenanigans then I used to be.

    Probably The Clown for me too. Hate this guy. If he gets me with one of his bottles then I'm hitting the dirt in seconds. I would say Skull Merchant because I don't understand how her drones work at all, but I've only faced her about 4 times so...

    Honest answer though, any moderately competent Killer is my "worst Killer" to go against.

    And truth be told, I probably won't be trying my best not to die against Pinhead, Ghost Face, Doctor, Wesker or Wraith.

    Trapper. I go full paraniod and expect a trap at every window/pallet/grass patch.

  • radiantHero23
    radiantHero23 Member Posts: 4,241

    That's a bit harsh in regards to knight and artist. Both killers are way more than you give them credit for.

  • Dwight_Fairfield

    Pinhead. Just get grabbed by five chains I need to break while he walk over and gets an easy hit.

  • ChrissyG88

    For me it's Spirit. Even after the nerf I always struggle against her.

  • lav3

    Ceno - basekit slowdown from cube, slow movement/vault while possessed by chains

    Demo - very oppressive in straight loops

    Wraith - one of the best stealth killers with mobility, Sloppy suits him very well, green & purple add-ons make him very powerful

  • HugTechLover
    HugTechLover Member Posts: 2,482

    No, they really aren’t. Lol

    Run to loop, drop a bird / guard, repeat. Very boring gameplay.

  • Phantom_
    Phantom_ Member Posts: 1,354

    Alien/Xeno. I just cannot dodge its attacks for some reason? Give me Huntress, Caleb, or Nemi and I can dodge 99% of their hits, which are so much the same as Xeno's, but for some reason Xeno itself I just can't.

    Trickster with his billion ricocheting knives. What's the point of trying to dodge the first thousand knives when he has so many anyways. I'll take Nurse and Blight over them any day.

  • Gabe_Soma

    Hag, Knight and SM

  • xEa

    Alien, Pyramid Head and Artist.

    Or generallly speaking killer who can force you with no effort into a loose loose situation.

  • Avo

    Deathslinger. Because of the latency/ping and map-sized hitboxes.

    I'm tied between Clown and Trickster. Clown I hate because of his bottles are so boring and his laugh really annoys me. Trickster I already hated before his buff but I didn't see him very often but his buff makes zero sense. It was supposed to make him more fun to play against but he is now just nearly impossible to deal with. They have given a ranged killer the benfits of a regular killer and he has no recoil which means he requires practically zero skill.

    I agree with the bit on trickster. At least Blight and Nurse require a lot of time to master.

    Probably the Knight. There's just a lot going on usually in those matches with him and his goons. Love using his yellow and brown add-on combo when I play him, but hate facing it lol.

  • radiantHero23
    radiantHero23 Member Posts: 4,241

    Playing them this way is by far not the most effective way to play them.

    Both excel in multitasking. Artist can bother multiple survivors at once across the map and can even go for snipes while chasing someone else.

    Knight can do a similar thing, bothering at least two people simultaneously. On top of that, carnifex can be used as the most effective pallet break in the game. Way better chasing tool if you ask me.

    Sure, people can play them in the boring way, but reducing them both to only this playstyle is like saying : "Blight is super boring. They just use their power to delete pallets and create dead zones to play m1 killer better."

  • HugTechLover
    HugTechLover Member Posts: 2,482

    Ok, but I’m not going off of “welllll they CAN play this way!”

    The reality is 90% of artists and knight play exactly the way I describe. This has been my experience and the experience of many others as I’ve seen on the forums.

    And I maybe get 1 in 10 blights who play the way you described.

    You won’t change my mind on this, these “antiloop” killers are extremely boring, in that they promote holding W. Nobody likes that.

  • radiantHero23
    radiantHero23 Member Posts: 4,241

    But that doesn't mean that this is all they can do.

    As I said. There CAN be more to them. Same with other killers.

    I dont want to change your opinion. I know that many play them this way. Sadly.

    I just wanted to point out that these killers are more than you give them credit for.

    Also, you can shift w almost every killer. In the same way, you can pre drop against almost every killer. These killers may make this necessary sometimes, but many do this against almost every other killer as well, that do t make it necessary.

    Always has been and always will be trickster and twins. it's probably because I hate them so I throw my own mind off from the git go.

    Just recently came back after 3 years and I will say most of the newer killers are dog to play against too

    Oni.

    Even if someone runs him for five gens, he'll get his rampage and slug the entire team when nobody has unbreakable. I swear I have a better escape record against Nurses and Blights than Onis.

  • HarlockTaliesin
    HarlockTaliesin Member Posts: 763

    Legion and SM. Instant go next as soon as I hear their TR music. Complete waste of time trials. Winning those trials somehow feels worse.

    Coming soon, Trickster's being added to the list. He's already annoying as-is. After the buffs, nope. Would rather have a fun trial, even if I lose.

    1.) Legion 👨‍🎤

    2.) Wraith 💀

    3.) Ghost 👤

    I hate Legion's anti-loop, anti-hold w, anti-vault, anti-hide, and anti-heal powers. Wraith and Ghost make you play extremely cautious and slow.

    Has to be Clown for me too... I get a huge mental block vs. this guy. I never know when to leave a loop, I never know when to throw pallets, I path bad... I just become an absolute Bambi vs. him.

    Everyone else, I can end up making a bad move and I know I've made a mistake, but can usually assess that quickly and in a fraction of a second say "OK I'm caught, but what can I do to waste as much time as possible?".

    Even a Nurse or Blight I have the mental presense to at least try and squeeze some extra seconds out of them... but Clown it's almost like I just pull Vincent's Pulp Fiction shrug and go down.

    Knight. Without a doubt.

    Hate his minions. I know... They're actually called "guardians", but to me, they're like those yellow minions from Despicable Me, that annoy everyone. And his terror radius is way too big. And his music always cuts for a second everytime he sends out those minions. Way too good at three genning

    Cenobite and SM comes shared second place.

    So if I understand the question correctly: it's not which killers do I personally dislike, but which do I feel like are at a much higher tier level than others find them.

    Plague and Clown. Plague is partly me up in my head about getting infected, but Clown I don't know how others loop him so easily. I seem to just constantly be in a hindered cloud and am run down in seconds.

  • egg_
    egg_ Member Posts: 1,933

    SM (insta go next), and second place was Knight, Trickster and Artist together (roll eyes and get on with the game without pretending it's engaging in any way whatsoever).

    After next week's patch Trickster will jump to first with SM, the rest will stay there as they are.

    dredge, i dont understand how to loop them. they just drop their thingy so they can go back to it, you run at it you get hit, you double back towards him you get hit. i will never understand it

    1) Pig- The ones that I play against Tunnel the Survivor with a Trap on... which irritates me to no end

    2) Bubba- I just can't get away from him... LOL

    The Huntress for me. Bar perhaps a small number, the Huntresses I face just outplay me most of the time. Although my escapes against Huntress are probably 50/50, it's either a lucky Hatch or the talent of my fellow Survivors that gets me through in those difficult trials.
