My top 3 is

Oni - overpowered and busted

Wraith - if he decide to tunnel you without teamwork you dead

Huntress - her busted hatchet hitbox

    A tunneling wraith is probably the first.

    Also, clown is quite unenjoyable too.

    Im not saying they are too strong, just unfun to play against.

    Skull Merchant and Hag are easily the least fun for me.

    No way you said that killer that can insta down you and run as fast as a Flash is balanced (including his synergy with stealth perk / legion cry in the corner)

    I just dislike Wraith simply because of his uncloak animation being deceptive, but that's a me issue.

    Also, Oni? Really?

    1. Fast as a Flash 2. Can Instadown 3. Great synergy with all meta perks 4. Never run out juice (unlike Myers). This 4 is enough to hate Oni

    that's the first time I've heard that oni is op lol.

    but to answer your question it is Knight, SM and Ghostface

    The saw bros

    Or any killer we've seen 5+ times in the same night

    1. Plague - can't stand the vomiting and there is no downside to her power (cleanse and she gets a one hit down -don't cleanse and she gets a one hit down).

    2. Huntress. Used to really like going against huntress killers. They seemed fair and down for a good time. Now they're always sweaty and proxy campers. It's draining.

    3. Legion - get hit, heal for an eternity. Repeat. Get nothing done for 30 minutes. Boring.

    Honourable mentions:

    Wraith - tunnelers, proxy campers and body blockers

    Dredge - can't stand nightfall. It's obnoxious.

    The main problem with huntress no matter of playstyle is unfair hatch hitboxes

    Artist, Knight, and SM.

    All three just put you in lose/lose scenarios with little counter play. Note I'm not saying over powered, just unhealthy design.

    Nurse, Karen Merchant and Hag

    1. Oni → everyone that mains him exploits the hell out of his power to break the turn rate cap by throwing their mouse across the room and calls it "skill"

    2. Billy → completely overbuffed, the longer curve window ruined what used to be fair and fun chase interactions with him

    3. tough call between Hag and Skull Merchant. equally boring zero interaction gameplay.

    1. Doctor - hate everything about playing against Doctor. Constant interruptions and screaming and annoying skill checks.
    2. Plague - hate running around broken especially when the killer didn't really do anything to "earn" that injury. Unhook a sick survivor? Broken. Trying to stop regression on broken gen? Broken. If you want to get rid of broken status then you are powering up killer further. That and it never seems to fail that when I'm working on a quest that requires healing or something, I get Plague.
    3. Legion - It wouldn't be so bad if I was playing SWF but I play virtually exclusively solo queue and it seems like I get team mates that just don't seem to understand how to counter Legion and it turns into a cluster. Like every time.

    Wraith - Nothing wrong with the killer, but 90% of the time it's going to be a proxy camping hard tunneler with NOED.

    Trickster - I don't hate his power or anything, but again, I always wince when I see him because Tricksters always play kinda scummy and proxy hooks, then unload knives into the unhooker and eat through basekit BT. Plus he's surprisingly nasty in narrow-corridor indoor maps because he always brings bouncy knives.

    Skull Merchant - The ultimate "uggghhhh, not this one." Everything about this killer was a mistake, my teammates DC or kill themselves on hook, and the people who still play her have more often than not earned the reputation. I've had maybe one fun Skull Merchant match that I can remember.

    If we're talking about killers whose mechanics I don't like, Skull Merchant again, but then make that Knight and Legion. I dislike mending simulator and not having any way to hide when my teammates get hit, and Thana Legion is a nuisance, and with Knight and Skull Merchant I find gen defense the least fun form of play. Big timewaster games with brainless antiloop when the killer can be bothered to commit to chasing you.

    BirbLady only because of her sounds.

    Trapper because the Paranoia drives me crazy.

    Ghostface because I always think I’m sneaking away only to walk into him. Same with Myers though I actually enjoy facing a Tombstone or infinite Tier3 version. I also like playing as him.

    Vommy mommy only because no one is on the same page when it comes to cleansing or not.

    Busted hatchet hit box goes both ways though.

    Pinhead: Ugh, so unfun. Literally everything about playing against cenobite is annoying and eyeroll worthy.

    Dixter: they're usually jerks. Slugging the last surv and refusing to hook them even right next to a hook is prime dixter behavior.

    Knight: see dixter, but more annoying "music"

  • Dwight_Fairfield
    Dwight_Fairfield Member Posts: 7,036

    Dull Merchant: For obvious reasons.

    Pinhead: Obnoxious is every way.

    Knight: I love being outplayed at loops because he has A.I. guards to do half the work for him.

    Skull Merchant - needs way to much teamplay for soloQ. drones should break on hacking
    Trickster - counterplay depends much more on map than on skill
    Twins - counterplay against victor is running around a tree or stairs. yeah.

  • Hexonthebeach

    Tombstone Myers

    Wraith

    Nurse

  • StereoGang

    Ghostface - his reveal mechanic is the most infurious thing ever (And it is also infurious when you play as him). It's probably due to server delay, but I hate the fact that I see him and the game is like "nope, you don't see him well enough, get exposed now".

    Clown - not especially strong, but his power is boring to play against. Get slowdowned, hit, run away, repeat. At least, now you can see where you are going.

    Wraith - usually you get hit because you saw him too late. He isn't that strong but his power feels cheap when facing him. Also the fact that he is a good camper makes him annoying to face.

    Plague - the fact she remove completly healing at base kit, I'm not fan.

  • jamally093
    jamally093 Member Posts: 1,680

    Simple question just a killer(s) that you just can't enjoy facing. Either because their power, some kind of feeling you get facing them or overall just the fact you know your not going to enjoy the match.

    Nurse: Two for Two with this question simple her power due to the fact that I barely can figure out how to face her since all the Nurses I face just play her alone I have no idea how to counter her so I usually am I left in not a grumpy mood but more of a "I seriously don't know what to do" mood

    Hillbilly: My first main reason why I don't enjoy facing him also his power. But more the fact that there's no...uniqueness or unpredictability? Mostly the fact that every Hillbilly I face uses their chainsaw...a lot and I mean a lot even if your injured he'll still use it so it's more it enters a dull area where when I face him I know I'll just be hearing more chainsaw revving and his...scream? He makes when starting I don't hate him I just find him dull after a while.

    Not really any killer in general, more like their specific add-ons / builds.

    I hate Shackles Hag so much...

    Tombstone piece Myers etc.

    Nurse, Skull Merchant, because they need a nerf

    Hag, twins, wraith, not because they need a nerf because of their playstyle and how players use them :/

  • MaTtRoSiTy
    MaTtRoSiTy Member Posts: 1,947

    Trickster, SM, Twins and Knight are all killers I despise with a passion.

    I find Legion tedious as well as Plague and I cant stand GF due to his ridiculous break out mechanic where if you don't look at him right you still get exposed.

    It changes alot. At the moment it'd be Skull Merchant, Trickster, and Pinhead. I don't mind the latter in general, it's just that he's miserable to face in solo queue because of how many survivors avoid doing the box. I usually end up doing it most of the time so am just always in chase. When I have a team that takes turns then I don't mind facing Pinhead so much.

  • MaTtRoSiTy

    Yeah the chain hunt thingy is PAINFUL and very annoying, otherwise I don't mind PH as much as I used to. There are far worse killers imo

    Nurse- Guess I don't get to play DBD this round and instead just hope they're bad

    Knight- Love losing to AI.

    Blight/Billy- "Okay well they hooked across the the map so hopefully I should be able to get this gen done…aaaand they're here already."

    There’s a reason why Huntress’s feel the need to camp, just saying.

    Insta down killers are all pretty much unfun to me. Since if you make 1 mistake the chase ends immediately.

    I played against a streamer P100 Billy and it was the most miserable match I ever played because how good they were. Every Chase was less than 15 seconds. I was trying everything too, crouch techs, abusing windows and so on but it didn’t matter.

    I would honestly rather play against skull merchant because even an insane skill merchant won’t insta down you 99% of the time.

    I mean she’s better than the other two but that counter play window is very, very little outside of just holding w. It feels like free downs if holding w isn’t an option at certain loops. Facing Artist as survivor just feels like very little interactivity and the scenario just plays itself.

    Long range snipe Artist is very fun to face though. I wish that play style would get buffs.

    Bubba. Always an entire game of camping, tunneling, and slugging. Basement trapper is pretty grueling too.

  • danielmaster87
    danielmaster87 Member Posts: 9,452

    Nurse. I must think I'm so unpredictable with my movement and I'm really not, because she almost never fails to hit me.

    Trapper. He gets a basement hook, guaranteed 1-2k. If not, NOED for the 3-4k. Just my luck.

    Oni/Blight. Don't know if I go exclusively against their PC players, but these killers almost never get dead angled in my matches, and instead get constant hits and downs.

    I'd include Skull Merchant, but she doesn't deserve my anger. The people who don't even try against her do.

    Skull Merchant is preferable for me instead of a lot of killers. I just need a decent team, and it could be a really fun match instead of a miserably slow futile one. Solo queue.

    Skull merchant- zones you until you die

    Hag- zones you until you die

    Knight-Zones you with guards, until you die

    Honorable mention to legion
