Least favorite (not strongest) killer(s) to face?

Twins, Knight, Xeno, Chuckie, Nemesis.

Deathslinger, Legion, Pyramid Head, Twins, Wesker, Chucky, Vecna, Pinhead, and (obviously) Skull Merchant. There are a lot of them. I generally hate killers who have fast moving attacks that interact poorly with the horrendous ping / hitboxes / netcode / whatever sorcery goes into Huntress hatchets and the like hitting the air six feet behind you and still doing damage. Huntress, Blight, and Billy are notable exceptions that I think are actually fun. There's a lot more that pisses me off about these killers than attack speed, though. They also suffer from serious bugs, lose/lose mechanics, and otherwise irritating powers.

There are handful of others I dislike but find some redeeming value to: Knight, Singularity, Dracula, Sadako, Artist, Trickster, and Nemesis are in this category.

I am various levels of positive about playing against everyone else; at the very least the good outweighs the bad, and many of them are a downright pleasure to play against. It is not a coincidence that the vast majority of killers released over the past few years are on one of the two lists above. I have really been hating the new killer designs. This carries over into my preferences for playing killer too, as I have no interest in playing a killer that I personally can't stand.

I main Trapper but he is my least favorite to go against. Sometimes I would say to myself “I’d rather face a Nurse right now.”

Even though I rarely get caught in traps, it’s the inconvenience of seen traps shutting down loops and the paronia of wondering if a trap is in this tall grass or on the other side of that window you want to hop while being chased. That paronia is so mental, I take it with me into my next match and immediately start watching the floor when the game starts. Now that’s nuts.

I don't really like playing against low-tier killers. I don't know… No satisfaction…

Hag and Spirit.

Hag because she so, so often tunnels in my experience, even outdoing Nemesis percentage-wise. And Spirit because I somehow really struggle with telling where she is.

Blight, Nurse and SM are runner-ups for how they get kinda overwhelming for me. SM in particular has a lot going on, and I'm very prone to get information overload against her.

Also Trickster, but that's mostly just because I find him kinda dull to face.

why do you hate ghostface? i dislike nurse only. the other two killer that are sort of boring to play against but not on the level of unfun is Pig and Myer's. i don't find the mori aspect of those 2 killers interactive as survivor. Kinda feels out of your control and rely on a combination of luck and team competency to survive + a bit of killer misplay.

Wesker, Billy, Blight

Twins is probably the worst for me. I rarely see them but when i do they all typically play the same, just slugging with victor. On top of that most people see them so rarely they don't know how to play against them. I could probably count on one hand how many times i've played against twins in the past year and all have been the same victor slugfests.

Chucky, Trapper, Freddy, Clown, Knight, Twins and Plague. I'm thankful that only one of these is common lol

Also if we got the REAL Freddy I wouldn't mind him nearly as much

deathbringer, everytime i manage to put some distance between him and me and he just hook me, eliminating the gap between us , that make me feal this killer isnt fair

I despise The Legion because each game against one is just a mending simulator. Plus they all use the same slowdown builds that makes getting anything meaningful done as a survivor impossible. It's usually not a problem on most maps but on smaller ones he's completely busted

y ghostface? knigth i get hes unfun i dont like being teamed up on, but ghostfaec seems fine… hes just rly hard to see. is it cause he can tbag????

For me it's the bugginess / clunkiness of the reveal mechanic. Ghost Face is designed to be able to peek around corners, but survivors can't reveal him unless 30% of his body is visible. He banks progress on his stalk even after being broken out of his power, while survivor reveal progress can easily be interrupted and reset, especially since the reveal mechanic itself is temperamental. He can stalk you through objects you can't reveal him through and he can stalk you from a farther distance than you can reveal him from.

The end result is that his power is eminently cheesable. You can see him coming the whole way and in the time it took to reveal him you get halfway stalked. He starts a chase with you, and then ~20 seconds letter he gets his power back and finishes the stalk in your face for a free exposed. And I say "free" because the whole point of the killer is to be rewarded for being stealthy, but that doesn't end up mattering much. It's more like exposed on a timer. He takes 1.5 seconds to reveal and takes 5 seconds to mark you or 2.5 seconds with a lean. Even if you start revealing quickly and don't get the reveal interrupted, it's a miracle if he can't mark you on the second power activation.

The end result is that interacting with his power feels horrendous.

Chucky, Pinhead, and Blight.

thats funny because i feel like hes ez to handle bc i am always revealing him when he clearly doesnt want to be or shouldnt be. i think the reveal is just buggy and needs fixing, not the killers fault. :/

If your team is also good at revealing him, he can start to feel really weak really fast. Certain maps are just inherently hard for him too. But when you're going 1v1 against a Ghost Face in Night Shroud, the reveal mechanic is so easy for him to cheese. He starts stalking, you start revealing, he ducks behind a wall, or a railing, or a lamp post and resets your reveal progress, then continues to stalk you… that's clearly not the intent of the killer's power, but that's how it feels to play against Ghost Face a lot of the time. Some of this might just be bugs that can be fixed, but he's been out since 2019, they've fiddled with his power a few times, and it still feels like an inconsistent mess. I'm not holding my breath.

I still don't dislike him as a killer though because he's one of the few killers in the game that can actually be scary to play against. I think we need more of that.

It would seem strange for the intent of the power to be Ghost Face pantomiming "you don't see me! you don't see me!" as he hides behind a fence post, or something, but maybe BHVR was leaning into the horror comedy thing? (not a chance, but funny thought!). The only justification I have for why he can do that is because he would be pitifully weak without that and he is not high enough on the list for a rework for the devs to consider larger changes to his power anytime soon.
