Is there any characters you refuse to play because you find them unappealing?

I refuse to play Ace because he’s ugly and while Clown’s gameplay and add ons intrigue me, I CANNOT stand that wheezy grunt and laugh of his. It sounds like sandpaper. The Doc’s laugh, on the other hand, is delightfully cute and funny.

    Freddy. I can't stand playing him because the model is based off the remake, and the remake was total garbage.

  • I have no issue at all.

    Jane and Jeff. They’re ridiculously loud I have to run Iron Will as a solo player. When I play killer I purposely slug them knowing they’ll be easy to find cause they’re so loud

    Hag. Just plain ugly imo. I also find her skins ridiculous (with exception of medusa, its pretty cool). She is also slow, easly bullied without top addons. Everything in her design is a big oof for me.

    Hah, the tastes, I love Clown @pemberley

    None on Killer Side.

    On Survivor Side: I dont like Jane. She also sounds weird when injured... Also not really a fan of Jeff because he is so loud and looks quite ugly for me, but I like his Black Metal-Cosmetic.

    Ace I ######### hate Ace.

    There are killers that I don't play but not because of their appeal.

    Wraith, LF, and Clown I have no interest in playing because I just find their powers boring to use.

    Legion and Doc I hate with a passion as survivor so I won't play them.

    Trapper. I love the design of the character but i'm really not a fan of his power. It's an ugly mix of skill, luck and wasted time.

    At least Doc has counterplay. But I feel you with Legion.


    I dislike playing legion because every time they come out of Frenzy it sounds like they hit their shin on something.

    Freddy is my soulmate, he resonates to me on a personal level. On the other hand Frank is just an edgy kid that sliced up a guy, whic his why I play Julie currently.

    @projecteulogy Yea, Doc and Legion aren't OP or anything but they are both insanely annoying to play against.

    Doc annoys me because doing more skill checks is not fun. Keyword is FUN. It's not difficult to hit those Madness skill checks that appear in different spots or shake, but skill checks themselves are the least fun thing about survivor, so having a killer that does something to skill checks just make them even less fun to do.

    I also find it annoying that he can lock you out of actions, specifically vaulting which feels so incredibly buggy. So many times I've vaulted a window only to randomly scream and teleport back to the other side. I understand why he has it, because it helps him deal with loops, but dear Jebus it's just so janky and makes the game feel like crap. I don't get why it can't force a slow vault, or maybe stop your run so that you have to release and press the button again. Something like that would feel way less buggy and laggy.

    The fact he can lock you out of doing gens makes him the ONLY killer that can legit hold a game hostage. People often say "don't 3 gen yourself" well the thing is Doc can 3 gen even when the gens aren't the closest ones. In fact the only time he can't 3 gen is if you completely split the map, but Docs can still play to stop that and force you to leave 3 gens close enough together to do a 3 gen strat. Not to mention, 3 gen Docs love to offer Game which is impossible to NOT 3 gen yourself.

    And locking you out of healing means that you can't heal a slug, giving him free 4k's if he slugs the third guy and gets you into Madness 3. There is literally no way to heal the other guy, so it's just a matter of time before you go down. Against any other killer you can at least make a play to heal the slug, and keep the game going.

    Oh and he can completely stop you from unhooking via shocks too, which makes it super easy to camp with Doc as it's near impossible to save someone if he is standing there shocking the hook.

    It all just adds up to a super lame experience. I'd be totally fine with him getting a rework, making him STRONGER in some ways if they remove all this crap I mention above that just makes him super unfun to play against. But so many killer mains jump down my throat, claiming I just get beat by Docs or that I can't do skill checks, or that I never think ahead to avoid a 3 gen, or that he's low tier and NEEDS this garbage to compete. No, NONE of this. He is just not fun to deal with, difficulty/counter player has nothing to do with it. I'd rather do my taxes on pen and paper than play against a Doc. It's like saying that hardcore camping in a shooter is fine because you can beat these players with X strategy. That doesn't change the fact that X strategy is a super lame, unfun and tedious experience. Sure camping is beatable, but you have to play like a derphole and it sucks. Same with Doc.

    And people make similar points about Legion, a killer who actually has no counter play. This doesn't make him OP or anything, just lame to play against. And any sort of counter play that does exist is not fun. Again, taxes. Yet somehow these complaints are valid while my complaints against Doc are not.

    Sorry for the rant but I just hate these killers so much.

    How is losing a killer in a chase not fun, legion's counterplay is losing him during his frenzy, it's especially possible once he second time hits you and eats the ministun. Ofc he can't have bloodhound for this to be possible.


    Esp at rank 10 I lose legions SO often it's funny.

  • thesuicidefox
    thesuicidefox Member Posts: 8,223

    1) At rank 1 you're not going to "lose" a Legion. Good killers generally don't lose survivors. Doesn't matter if you can't see scratch marks, good killers will use sound, blood, or just basic LOGIC to find you (jump through a window and suddenly no survivor? probably did a window juke or Urban'd away somewhere, but he can't go far doing that so just look around and you will find them).

    2) If you lose Legion then you have to Mend. If he is a good killer then he will likely KNOW where you went. Now you are in a catch 22. Stay still and mend so he can just walk up and hit you with a normal attack, or keep running and let the timer run out. Either way you are screwed. Heck some Legions lose the chase on purpose to force this, then cheese the chase mechanics by moonwalking and following blood. There is nothing you can do against it.

    Most of the females expect for Jane. I notice I play more of the male characters; mainly David, Jake, and Dwight.

    Jane being the only female I’ve played the most so far. I just love her character design so much! 💕💕

  • MhhBurgers
    MhhBurgers Member Posts: 1,758

    I talk about actually really losing in a way where he won't find you again. This can happen if you have iron will+DWM and he doesn't use bloodhound. But yes a good legion you can't lose them but you cannot lose any good killer. Maybe it's because I don't hear sounds and I don't want to use bloodhound unless I play sweaty so you can lose me.

  • thesuicidefox
    thesuicidefox Member Posts: 8,223

    You won't lose them where they won't find you again if they are a good killer. If you do "lose" a good killer 99% of the time it's because they let you go. Losing a good killer, even Legion, is a very rare thing. Just because you play a certain way to make it fair to survivors doesn't mean it can be done normally otherwise.

    Even though Ace is from Argentina and he could’ve been my neighbor... I can’t stand his vibe. Looks like a pervert.

    I can’t be bothered to buy tapp let alone even play him, his perks are bad and he seems bland to me.

    Clown,leather face, and Freddy: they all just seem boring to play as, especially leatherface who really doesn’t have a cool power, like Freddy has a cool but weak power

  • MhhBurgers
    MhhBurgers Member Posts: 1,758

    how does freddy have a cool power. His power is literally "I cannot hit you if I didn't wait 7 seconds and after that I can hit you but I can also see you"

  • pemberley
    pemberley Member Posts: 1,510

    He has weaknesses and needs buffs, but having built in wall hacks, deerstalker, nurses, and a potentially nastier Thana is pretty cool. You also can’t see him unless you’re asleep - and he can still see you. Bye bye OoO!

    There was never a Survivor that I hated. At most, I only have a minor dislike of David, and he used to be at the bottom of my list.

    But now that Ash is coming to the game, I think he might become my new least favourite Survivor. There’s just something about him that boils my blood. I guess some people just don’t mix.

  • pemberley
    pemberley Member Posts: 1,510

    Yes, I did. He looks like a slimy dead beat that would hit on people that barely graduated out of high school.

    I hate David with a passion. You will never ever see me play David unless I'm being forced to.
