My Beef with Every Killer
Any additions y'all would like to add?
Trapper: Placing traps on the exit gate switches is the biggest 🤓 thing you can do in this game.
Wraith: No beef; a nice, balanced killer.
Hillbilly: Players have forgotten he has a hammer. 🤯
Nurse: No beef; I just believe her terror radius should be larger.
Shape: PTSD whenever I see a Léry’s offering.
Hag: Drops half her traps around each hooked survivor. Seriously? Overkill, much?
Doctor: Always use Static Blast when you’re in the basement or a subterranean area; think they have to run Merciless Storm.
Huntress: Sweats and tryhards who spam aura-reading perks; hatchet hitboxes are pathetic.
Cannibal: Also forgets to use the hammer provided to him; Barbecue & Chilli is like riding with training wheels.
Nightmare: Lousy, fake pallets.
Pig: Chases and hooks survivors with an active trap. That defeats the purpose of them.
Clown: Annoying SFX that makes them appear ultra-edgy.
Spirit: Knows where you are when phasing, even if you’re uninjured and walking - and not in grass.
Legion: Can see where everyone is from too far away via Killer Instinct - including inside lockers.
Ghostface: Should not be able to pop his power mid-chase; I roll my eyes when I face him - which is too often since he’s so popular (for whatever reason). 🙄
Plague: Those who chase you around and puke on you until you're broken instead of just hitting you for the same result. (BTW the vomit has an absolutely horrific hitbox - needs Huntress love).
Demogorgon: No beef; my favorite to play as.
Oni: Recharges power too easily/quickly.
Deathslinger: No beef; my second favorite to play as.
Executioner: Always returns to the hook for a Torment hit on both survivors.
Blight: Can turn too sharply while rushing - if out in the open, he won’t miss a swing; also needs a larger terror radius alongside Nurse.
Twins: No beef; starting to see more players than historic trends, which is good.
Trickster: Used to be annoying when everyone played him but is calmer now; strafing does not allow you to dodge his knives.
Nemesis: Jumpscare SFX when he reaches Tier 3.
Cenobite: Invisible Configuration add-on makes me want to cry; too hard to time the solve just right when harassed by chains.
Artist: Can easily protect the last three gens with constant crows; can’t escape via gate as last survivor for the same reason.
Onryō: Will do nothing but spam teleport to blowout Condemned on everyone.
Dredge: No beef.
Mastermind: "Oh, hooray, another Weskar." 😴
Knight: Those that run alongside survivors until the guard hits them to get an insta-down. 🙄 Probably my third-favorite killer to play as.
Skull Merchant: Every SM plays the exact same, like drones programmed to act alike.
Singularity: Sweats who will stop mid-chase to switch to cameras just to shoot/teleport to the person right in front of them. Seriously?
Xenomorph: The tail attack never misses - ever; introduced easy-mode perks that make you facepalm.
Good Guy: Annoying SFX; another traditionally tryhard killer.
Unknown: That lame spitting power that almost gives an auto-hit because it's AOE, not pinpoint precision (e.g. Plague); the ear-splitting SFX when he jumps to his illusions is terrible.
Lich: Some cringemasters waste all four of his powers in chase with a single survivor. Calm down, bro.
Dark Lord: Very lenient hitbox with the fireballs.
Houndmaster: Dog runs faster than a cheetah; the legendary skin is a poodle (omegalul).

Chucky is not a tryhard killer anymore, he is extremely outclassed.

Me after stepping into my own trap after vaulting a window a Survivor just fast vaulted
Desperately trying to hit that last knife as Trickster before they start to decay
Teleporting to the wrong locker as Dredge
12 -
Oni: attempting to look like a hotshot when becoming friendly with survs and missing the most obvious 180 while 2 of them are healing in the most open space possible.
Myers: dude, Scratched Mirror Myers is so passe, stop trying to jumpscare me for content, it won't work, you are a snooze fest anyway
Wraith: allergic to chases
Knight: i get it bro, you can't down me without your guard zoning the hell out of me.
Trapper: when on a pallet, try to actually place a trap well instead of placing it so that i can go past it and you just end up stepping into it.
Nemesis: M1 exists mate, why are you trying to point blank whip me.
Doctor: omg an impossible skillcheck.build, how original.
Blight: alr i get it, your life depends on the win.
Huntress: darling, your hatchet is stuck in your hand, maybe actually drop a chase instead of trying to zone the hell out of me.
Pyramidhead: never hits M2, only fakes it until you are completely zoned
1 -
Some of these are wild… The Singularity one is literally just "omg i can't believe they'd STOP in chase to USE THEIR POWER 🙄 what tryhards"
DBD players will hate over half the roster and still say they like this game.
5 -
mine was truly for goof purposes too, makes me giggle a bit (especially the Oni one since i am often the one that does that lol)
0 -
Most definitely NOT how he was designed to be played. Same for Ghostface popping Exposed mid-chase (even though he's not hiding).
0 -
Oh yeah, I was mainly talking about OP's post, not yours x3
The Nemesis one is relatable, like c'mon man you could've got the hit 30 seconds ago if you weren't trying to use the whip LOL
0 -
Quick Switching to cams is absolutely meant to be a thing? That's why you can do it so quickly, and why there's an auto-aim.
Same with Ghostface being able to 99 stalk and pop exposed mid-chase. His stalk decayed passively on the PTB he released, and it got changed because he was abysmal. He's still not a good killer by any means even today.

OH THIS ONE IS FUN I LOVE IT !!!!
Trapper= no issues , gotta love poster boy
Wraith= Brain dead easy to use with ability to block off pallet/windows/ tunnels alot and removing lightburn only increase my hate 20x for them, use to love when they try think amma get a free hit=boom flashbang or flashlight burn
Billy= I use to love them until they change him to just spam saw, spam saw until eventually hit=because of no punishment anymore for missing
Nurse= I have no problem with her honestly lol.
Myers= Every iteration of this guy is just boring. indoor map spams=for boring 24/7 wall hacks. Perm expose= dont even bother healing. Tombstone piece=because ofc instead of nerfing this bvhr nerfs the other add on that really was….already fine?
Hag= They are rare but as op said they gotta lay like 5+ traps as if there is no other areas to try space them out for mind gaming?
doctors=brain dead killer because its just spam spam spam jock=stops you for doing anything 5 seconds is way too much. Trying to hook save well good luck as most times its almost neigh impossible unless swfing.
huntress= Aura spam aura spam and more aura spam. With distortion garbage now my hate for them increase 10 fold and all I do is growl anytime I hear one. Like 5 + aura stacking how is that even fine=(they need to nerf aura reading stacking for both sides but mostly specially for killer)
Bubba= saw spam saw spam like billy. Honestly instant down killers are just hella boring and they all do this=if healthy spam instant down power, if not healthy=m1
Freddy=fake pallets=cheap as hell ability
Pig= One of the biggest game slow down annoyance ever. Most of them too just simply tunnel people with already active rbts. Boop the snoot? sure with a pallet and flashbang I shall.
Clown=spam spam easy slow down for easy hits=a braindead killer per say
Spirit= I hate this killer as much as I hate skull merchant. 0 counter play even IF you use iron will. Hated how bvhr lied that she was to also kick dust up when phasing but they scrap that part of her nerf.
Legion= Them and their bestie plague ever with the drag out games, however they are more annoying than her because its just nothing but stab and drop chase 95% of the time. I guess I do love getting free chase emblems points though lol. Mending 500 times+ is just meh.
Plague= throwing up on things is appealing?=they and their beastie legion love running thana and dying light thinking that oh well people dont heal vs me anyway. Sadly I be that survivor that will stay fully heal vs either of them.
Ghost Face= Yeah 90% of the time your starting into his soul to even kiss him and he still pops expose on you=will this ever be fixed?
Demo= No issue with him
Oni= No issue with him even though he is instant down but I love angry grandpa=(i call him that since the forums say he is spirit great great great grandfather)
Slinger= Yeah lets have a ranged version of legion giving damage+mend and is the king of ability to bypass bt since they reel you in but let it go down first before downing.
pyramid head= Return to hook Andies who loves using m2 to hit two people for free which is a bad design. They also love saving their condemn for free mori 95% of the time unless they are struggling badly and do not wanna waste more time on hooks.
Blight= No problems with him lol (dont hate me that I like him and nurse)
Twins= Rare in breed but ofc hated. Everyone of them only believes in m1 with charolette and if they cant get you with their second hit they call on their little brother to finish work of downing(he should not be able to down people even if injured)
Trickster= That is my hubby sorry nothing but love
Nemesis= The guy uses a rocket launcher not zombies. Zombie are free info, as well as extra stress, nothing like having a great loop area only to be hit or body block out of no where by a zombie or being chased of an important gen your trying to get rid of asap. increasing his tentacle to 6.5 makes him huntress 2.0 so I hate him even as a re veteran.(Tbh i hated re 3 cause he was just way more annoying unlike mr x in re 2)
Pinhead= pig 2.0 with annoying slow down and solo q =you auto lose as no one wanna get the box cause they dont wanna be chased.
Artist = They are rare but anti loop killers are just boring as heck. Saying holding shift+w or L1(ps) is just plain lies because either way your going to go down by her
Onryu= I did not mind her very first version when she first came out now shes just annoying because all they do is tv spam to get condemn up and some maps tvs are so close(like dead dawg) its like meh.
Dredge=Another boring antiloop killer and the darkness is very annoying as someone who wears glasses Id love this being looked into just like how clown bottles and soon mending=will no longer be trouble some. I get trying to make something unique but no its too much, making him more silent too only ofc increase my hate for him.
Wesker= my second hubby gimmie them anytime anyday even if they are toxic.
Knight= still boring as hell(got one yesterday) using their little brothers(the guard) to go one area so that they can just go the other direction and double tap you easily. Brainless much?
Skull merchant= I do not have to explain nothing am sure, just she is a failure and should have just be scraped from the game with spirit.
singularity= Yeah lets make a killer have everything via cameras and can just port to any gen anytime for 3 gen camping, or in chase =-you get some distance but you may as well stay still since once they pod you they can just teleport to you. Why should I hate nurse when she is more punished for missing a blink and has to recover? Cherry on top is pallets are usually useless because their base kit spirit fury via over clock
xenomorph= huntress and demo 2.0. The main thing I cant stand with them is that tail attacks like huntress giving unfair hits they should NOT get.
Chucky= talks way too much, and unlike vecna and weskers cool sfx. Chucky makes me just wish I can grab him out my tv/pc monitor. Try hard chuckies think THEY are the chucky mains and usually will always hit you on hook because you looped and mind game them so well with dry humping to boot. Bro that is so cringe… your a doll man.
Unknown= Return to hook Andies with annoying antiloop and a aoe that gets unfair hits similar to xeno and huntress. Then its chase theme just remind me of them deep toilets that takes forever to flush on an aeroplane.
Vecna= No issue at all, I love playing this killer and vsing this killer. This kill to me is perfect because of several counter play for survivors or against survivors
Dracula= Only thing I hate is wolf form, missing a pounces gives him way too much catch up and usually your just gonna get hit by the second after. If its one pounce only then he is alright too me. Most dracs however seem sweet specially cause am playing my third main alucard, I usually let them kill me once the others leave the trail as a respect to my father even though some of them gets sad about it that they wanted me to escape.
Hound Master= Ofc now way over buffed and dog is getting some grabs he normally should not have gotten ggs so no dont like her.

Finally, someone gets it!

It's quick because, if it wasn't, people would want to beat their heads against a wall. If it was as slow as switching between the Twins, people would complain. Auto-aim is QOL, not a justification for a lousy playstyle. That doesn't mean you abuse the power to be a tryhard. Just continue the chase and M1 like you're supposed to, it's not that hard.
Ghostface's power revolves around hiding around a corner and filling a meter from a stalking position while remaining unseen. He is most definitely not unseen mid-chase out in the open and should not be allowed to pop it on a whim. We already have Myers for that. Every time some loser pops Ghost's power mid-chase, I roll my eyes and let them hook me - because at that point, why bother? Let the noobs have their "fun".
You're guilty of both of these, aren't you?
1 -
I find it hard to believe you have any beef with me.
4 -
Guilty of….. playing the killer as intended?
The mindsets of some people genuinely baffle me. You are literally getting mad to the point of ragequitting over people using their power properly.
4 -
That's because killer-mains have solidified an iron grip on the game's narrative and dismiss any tiny, minute critique against them as "whining" or "complaining". You guys have absolutely no self-awareness and zero accountability. You genuinely believe you are incapable of playing wrong. Even your extreme defensiveness over this semi-satire post proves that.
2 -
Brother, it aint that deep
3 -
I hate this spacing between each item.
0 -
Odd response, especially considering we're not even talking contentious tactics like tunneling, slugging or camping here, it's literally just using your power.
Your mindset is concerning and I think you should probably lay off the tinfoil hatting. There is no shadowy cabal of killer mains pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As a Pig who studied from the holy scriptures of our lord and saviour Skorpionz, this thread deeply saddens me...
;🐽;
0 -
Dude just because you declare a certain playstyle as wrong doesn't mean it's actually wrong. In the grand scheme no one cares about what people like you have to say.
And I have no idea how "killer mains" have 0 self-awareness and accountability. That's pretty ironic coming from someone who wants to dictate how others play with a certain killer.
3 -
My only beef with you is you can hold 3 gens and be oppressive in chase just as much as reworked Skull Merchant could, in fact in a lot of ways far better... and yet no one joined a mass hysteria about you, yet Adriana meanwhile got taken out back and shot in the knees... 🥺🥺🥺
Skully needs to hire your PR team... or have you just Skynetted your way into all annuls of the Internet and been carefully orchestrating online discussion around you behind the scenes? 😏
1 -
The latter 😏

Stop saying y'all it makes you sound like a Richard head.

This ought to be good. My beef with every killer as a killer player
- Trapper: Having to drop a good chase to go grab morons that get trapped across the map. Lest I get accused of slugging in post game chat. (Happens anyway)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Wraith: As a killer player the uncloak speed gets on my nerves sometimes but it is acceptable seeing as he runs at mach 10 while cloaked. (Both of these things can be faster with add-ons as well)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Hillbilly: My least favorite killer, idk how I manage to bump into every single tree or rock anytime I try to use his power. (skill issue I know) Wouldn't mind if Billy got deleted from the game forever, genuinely.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Nurse: Hate that I can't see where I'm teleporting without plaid flannel (add-on). Other than that it's a general consensus that nurse is goated, arguably op.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Shape: Walks like a dork, boring power, don't care for the Halloween franchise. (painting a target on my back with this one)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Hag: Teleport range is goofy and I hate loud noise notifications.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Doctor: Add-ons are stupid complicated for no reason.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Huntress: Hard to complain when she gets s+ tier cosmetics consistently, hit reg is broken in her favor (most of the time), and her character design/backstory is cool, came with one of my favorite maps, the list goes on. There is no beef
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Cannibal: Billy on training wheels. Do not like his sfx, the screeching is genuinely torture. I WANT Bubba to get deleted from the game forever, genuinely. (His perks can stay, I don't use knockout but I shamelessly run aura reading and bbq n chili will forever be S tier. Not only that but franklin's demise is a must have on pinhead who I used to main)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Nightmare: Haven't tried the new F R E D D Y B O O G E R S in the ptb yet but from what I've seen it looks like they just gave him too much extra utility in an effort to make him powerful again. Plus they removed the teleport cancel which is arguably the best thing going for him as of pre-rework in my opinion. I also do not understand the dream world mechanics and I don't want to because I'll hardly play him anyway. In game model looks like butt, no cosmetics but that's not a bad thing really
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Pig: Reverse bear trap mechanics feel like trash to me, the crouch/dash is weird but I've landed some satisfying hits with it from time to time. I do not like when survivors attempt to "boop the snoot" sorry if that makes me a buzzkill. 🤷
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Clown: LEGENDARY. There is no beef.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Spirit: Tomie cosmetic could be better in my opinion. That's it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Legion: LEGENDARY. I used to hate on Joey but he grew on me, there is no beef.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Ghostface: Skill issue: I get exposed too fast since I don't like to hide. Only fun for the first 35 seconds when survivors don't know what killer you're playing and you get one or 2 good exposed hits.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Plague: Only has 1, MAYBE 2 good cosmetics. That's it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Demogorgon: I seriously don't know what my problem is with demo but I do not like playing him. His shred is undeniably good, his teleport is sweet especially after the recent buff. I don't dislike stranger things either. I'm just as confused as you are. 🤷
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Oni: LEGENDARY. Just picked him up after a long while. I used to hate on oni HARDCORE but for some reason his turning speed during demon dash and the Kanabo hits are 10x more satisfying than they used to be. There is no beef.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Deathslinger: If the hit reg for the redeemer were half as broken as the huntress hatchets this killer would still suck. Reeling window is too short. What's the point of having a ranged killer if you have to be less than 5 feet away from a survivor to land a hit? You could argue you can shorten chases with it and not go for hits sure… Except the cooldown for losing a survivor + the reload animation just puts you back at square 1.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Executioner: LEGENDARY. Aura reading + wallbang power = profit. Had basekit mori before basekit mori, funny cage to avoid saves, the list goes on. There is no beef.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Blight: Alchemist's ring + adrenaline vial = profit. I do wish the William Birkin cosmetic had blight's pointy fingernails. There is no beef.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Twins: TBD (No redeeming qualities)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Trickster: Not a k-pop stan. Souichi comestic is the only reason I play him now. I hate that the throwing knife's model is unchanged for Souichi but whatever.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Nemesis: BHVr should've based his player model off of the og nemesis design and not the re3 remake version. Zombies are obviously garbage.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Cenobite: LEGENDARY. There is no beef.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Artist: Another killer I like 10x more with the Junji Ito cosmetic since it gets rid of the horrible squawking.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Onryō: Good character all around but oh my god she's so boooooooring. Only thing that stands out about ringu lady to me is the lobby jumpscare.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Dredge: Gimmick character, only fun when playing endgame builds which means you're playing to lose.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Mastermind: "Seven minutes is all I can spare to play with you." No seriously I play one game with Mr. Whiskers and I'm set for the yeatr. Very fun but can't make plays particularly interesting unless you're power sliding around tiles like a total dork and I'm not tryna do allat.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Knight: TBD (Goated back story)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Skull Merchant: This killer should've never happened and everyone knows it. BHVr's biggest shame, I try to play her from time to time and the concept has grown on me but I can't think of a way they can revive her without making survivors suffer. The drones are just too strong if they do their job.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Singularity: I have to say nice things since I know they'll probably see this. I definitely DO NOT have any problems with this killer. Uhh, LEGENDARY if you will. There is no beef. But… The power is so dumb I do not understand. It's just because I'm a low IQ clown main. I'm so sorry please don't modify my genes
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Xenomorph: There's just something about teleport across the map characters that I cannot vibe with. Demo, Onryo, Xeno, and Dredge are all so uninteresting to me. I do appreciate that instead of just teleporting you actually have to move through the tunnels with Xeno but still. Tail attack is goated, I don't have beef with the turrets either it's just the dang tunnels.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Good Guy: More like slow guy. More like broken legs guy. Oh well… :(
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Unknown: LEGENDARY. Needs more cosmetics. If the leaks are correct and he's actually getting a RE skin I'll flip. There is no beef.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Lich: Mad respect for Matt Mercer but I cringe so bad whenever this killer opens his mouth. Bro is also purple as hell… Why? When it comes to his gameplay I do not understand why BHVr has been hellbent on cramming so much utility into killers recently. Bro does not need to fly, have an ranged attack, have an info ability and an anti loop ability all at once it is so stupid.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Dark Lord: Another killer with too much going on for no good reason. Bat form is based, it makes sense and it's good utility. But why play anything besides haste wolf with tracking?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Houndmaster: Yeah I paid for the $20 poodle. So what? I think the dog should injure people or something but that would be too powerful. Though it had to happen I didn't like that they fixed the issue that caused Houndmaster's Dog to vault over elevated vaults that players normally fall from.
