I've seen a video recently and found it quite interesting. Wanted to share my personal Tier List.

Would like to know your personal opinions.

Edit: Just seen that Dracula and Vecna aren't even on it. I'd put them both in fun.

    Whats wrong with Cenobite and Trickster? If you hate Trickster zoning potential, then Deathslinger far worse to face. And Cenobite without some addons also not opressive.

    All killers are fun until they play in certain ways that are deemed 'unfun' by survivors.

    Everyone's taste & perceived fun is always going to be personally subjective (as ut should be enough sheep mentality in the world)

    But Wesker seems to be the ultimate love or hate killer (hate camp myself plating or going against)

    Favourites personally to play against are Oni, Trapper, Myers & none trap tunneling pigs

    I love going against Nurse, Spirit and Blight.

    I'm sure I'll like going against Wesker once I learn to dodge him more easily.

    Going against a Huntress can be fun. Especially if I can keep dodging hatchets.

    I don't like going against stealth killers and the Doctor as they tend to be natural counters my play-style.

    I don't like The Artist either for some reason.

    I despise going against the Skull Merchant. (Not that I see her often mind you. I've not seen her since she was gutted.)

    I don't feel strongly about other killers in general.

    To answer any of why certain killers are in D; plague - puking on gens unfun/unteractive and snowballs off teamates too easily, chucky - constant aura read and nonstop power spam, clown - vision blur is nauseating, phead - cage system makes too many perks not work and can be predicted for tunneling, dredge - nightfall un-interactive and hurts my eyes.

    Others that would be higher if not for certain aspects of their kit; Unkown - teleporting to a husk you are removing, Pig - getting chased off a box losing progress and timer is shorter while youre on the other side of the map. Blight - addons are too oppressive, Oni - bleeding while you are healing and flicks, huntress - too strong after buffs and some annoying addons

    For me its not about Tiers of which killer is high or low or what not. I as you can see rather have S killers like nurse over some B C D killer like pig or what not killer because its about their power and how fun/annoying it is.

    I don't know how anyone finds playing against Leatherface fun. In my experience they all use stealth perks for surprise chainsaw downs followed by hardcore camping.

    Notes:

    The list is ordered from best to worst. Yes I'd rather verse SM and Xeno over Oni.

    F Tier: I could rant on and on about why I dislike Chucky so much but the main reason he's so low is because his power being easy to use while simultaneously being stupidly oppressive. His player base also has behavioral issues and I would place him lower than twins for that but the only reason I don't is because the match typically ends pretty fast. Twins is a huge mistake all around. The concept of two killers coexisting in the same match pioneered a new design for killer powers that we haven't seen before, but the execution of it, at least for Twins, was horrible.

    D Tier: Trapper and Myers are the definition of weak ≠ fun to play against. The most effective counterplay to Trapper is to have someone follow him around disarming his traps, but as a solo queue player that just simply isn't happening. Going down by basement instantly guarantees him a kill as well. Most Michaels now use tombstone, tuft of hair, or both. I don't think that needs a real explanation on why that's uninteractive.

    C Tier: Dracula unironically would be mid B-tier but the people who play him and his current cooldowns hurt him severely.

    B Tier: Pinhead is my most polarizing killer in terms of how fun they can be. For me they're generally a 50/50 split of either "I want to get out right now" or "I could play this match out all day". Teammates not knowing when and when not to solve the box definitely takes him down a few notches.

    A tier: Billy has always been recognized as a survivor's favorite killer to verse for a while and it still holds up. Every Billy I've gone against since I came back is ridiculously good at him and just so happen to be veterans of the game and very kind players. I really can't name a time when I've had a bad interaction with a Billy main.

    S Tier: Blight is no doubt my favorite killer in the game to verse and would be at the top of my list if it weren't for the fact that a lot of survivors struggle horribly against him and a lot of people who play blight either play him like their life is on the line or have an ego problem.

    surprisingly i dont hate most oppressive killers because their power is usually engaging, i dont really mind going against any killer as long as its not below D tier

    Anything OK or above I have no qualms playing against. Characters in "meh" it depends on playstyle, for example many pyramid heads do not use their power in fun ways like wall snipes but rather boring zoning at pallets, but the ones that don't can be fun. Boring tier is killers whose gameplay I really just do not enjoy at all.

    And like a jinx, I've encountered another camping Bubba.

    Seriously, how does anyone have fun playing against this killer when they all play in the most unenjoyable ways possible?

    Not right now, but I just googled "Killer fun to go against Tierlist dbd" and got it pretty much instantly .

    Why is single Larry in the 'snot merchant' category? I'm guessing he's meant to be in the C category where she is.

  • Marc_go_solo
    Marc_go_solo Member Posts: 5,327

    Here's mine, based on my initial reaction when I find out I'm against them:

    S = Amazing!

    A = This is gonna be good!

    B = Should be fun!

    C = It's fine.

    D = Oh yay /s

    Personal take, but this is usually how I rank my matches against these killers.
    Yes, I know I ranked Victor separately from Charlotte, but that little devil is the definition of toxicity, alongside Trickster.

    Singularity is the new skull merchant and I'm tired of pretending he's not.

    To everyone that placed Piggy in a high-tier… I wish you all a very pleasant day filled with good fortunes.

    Myers is probably thematically the closest thing to what DBD represents and gives the most heart in mouth moments.

    A category are killers I personally enjoy facing the most and rhough with mixed results, I find their powers the most balanced and conducive to close and fun matches. B are killers that I can enjoy the matches tho vomit lady generally negates my play style, its not overly oppressive when in a team.

    C are those killers I don’t really have a positive or negative opinion against.

    D killers I generally don’t like playing against

    No: I just don’t like playing against these killers - generally tedious or overly sweaty. Also I just don’t like Weskers chase music and the fact that he ‘feels’ sweaty.

    … tbh I don’t and have never had a personal issue with skull merchant that much it’s just that most teammates in soloq always gave up against her so they weren’t great experiences.

    Spirit and especially Trickster I actively dislike and most of the toxicity I’ve faced in the game has been overwhelmingly displayed by these killers. Most (but of course not all!) of the players I’ve faced with these two killers tend to be sweatier than a rugby sock. 🧦💦

    I think most killers can be fun. It's mostly tactics and absurdly powerful kits that survivors hate.

    Plague camping with power, doc camping with shock therapy, trapper basement, and head trap following pig can also be super annoying.

    I can identify with some tier lists, but not at all with others.

    Basically it's a combination with interaction of the killer, which is the subjective part, different for everyone and on the other hand how many counter play options you have that are fair.

    For this reason, a Xenomorph, a Singularity, or a Chucky... would never be at the top of my list, but rather closer to the bottom of this list.

    Always pre dropping pallets against a good singularity player is no fun, just like the tail attack from the alien is basically free from all range killers.

    I honestly don't see a lot of Bubba's who hard commit to camping after the devs introduced Antiface camp. Not trying to discount your experience cause Camping Bubba's are maybe the most uninteractive thing in the game (especially when he could just sit in front of hook uncontested), but a lot of the Leatherface's I see are complete sweety pies who play into the goofiness of his animations and nod constantly and whatnot. He'd be really high up in my personal list.
