Plague is only here because I have severe Emetophobia and can't handle vomit at all. Other than that I feel most of them are self explanatory.

Thank you! Here is my enjoyment list
Edit: changed the tier titles for more clarity

No problem, my friend, glad to help!
Interesting tier list! One of the two here to have Nurse as their favorite.
Thank you for sharing it, my friend!
I'm guessing Springtrap is at the bottom because of how popular he is?

Thank you for this, I had no idea how to make these.
Anyway, here's my personal list (for clarification, I've barely faced Houndmaster and Dracula, so they're in 50/50 by default - also the 50/50 are the Killers where it just depends on the match. Could be fun one match, miserable the next.):

I am really not a fan of his playstyle in the slightest, a stealth killer with a ranged attack? No thank you. On top of his new pallet breaking build making loops always unsafe just isn't fun at all.

She's always been one of my favourites to go against. I know she can be frustrating for alot, but I feel like she breaks the standard chase monotony enough that it keeps things interesting.

No problem, friend, glad to be of assistance!
Fair enough, thanks for the clarification.

One note: Ghoul and Deathslinger can be on D or S tier depend on player i play against.

Interesting watching Hag bounce around. I was under the impression Hag was pretty universally disliked by Survivors. Legion is also surprisingly high πΆ
Skull Merchant hate is wild to me. Her drones basically do nothing so you just use her drones to be a 4.6 Undetectable m1 killer. She is basically a worse version of Wraith now, but unable to do any of the things that make Wraith dangerous and disliked by some people.
Pig love is surprising... after so many people were supporting that 30s timer increase in her last set of changes, kinda got the feeling people hated her... π½
I enjoy my games vs. Killers most of the time, just the killers that scored lower often have really cheesy or lame strategies they can use, frequent moments where you just can't avoid a hit, or are otherwise capable of (and often using) mean and obnoxious builds.
I wish I could place Hag higher myself... on the rare occasion I see a Hag, she catches 1 survivor and traps the crap out of hook... and aomwonenin AoloQ always falls for it. When I play Hag, I always focus on maintaining my Web, and a good Hag is lots of fun and has me constantly on edge... but I've only ever seen 1 or 2 other players do this and play Hag properly... and that really sucks π
Singularity almost found himself lower... but... a lot of his nastier combos keep getting nerfed, and not many Singularity's use them in my MMR. Nurse is another outlier, cause in my MMR, I still quite often get some pretty fun Nurse games.

It sure is interesting to look at the results here, my friend!
What makes a killer fun changes heavily, there is no universal agreement.
2 -
Pretty much the majority of them up to Twins imo, then it went downhill from there.
Almost all of the killers I absolutely despise versing started at and includes Twins, so I wont waste my time with a tier list as its pretty simple to sum up for me. I prefer the old school killers without a doubt
2 -
I don't understand how some of you.play when about half or more of the killers are on the bottom half of your tier lists tbh
-1 -
I don't think survivor is fun to play in general so none of them
2 -
Each tier is ordered from left to right by most to least fun to play against.
2 -
Fair enough, my friend, that is a fair point.
I do believe killer design was, overall, better in the past, but there are exceptions. Skull Merchant, Knight, Springtrap, Singularity, these are all killers that I really enjoy.
The other half is really fun though.
In all seriousness, it is pretty much impossible to find a player who likes every single killer in the game. We all have our preferences.

where are the red circles and arrows I don't see them

I like the list despite being a legion main but I just do NOT like wraithππ

I like Wraith because he was the original invisible Killer.

Felt I should explain my list a bit more.
<3 : Most of these Killers I play to some degree, or just find super fun because their playstyle feels different, engaging, or their players are chill. Ghostface is up there because most of his Mains are cool, nice people in my experience, plus they take the game serious - but never so serious they have to BM. Ghostface Mains are just silly lil guys and I love them - the silly gremlin jesters of the Fog, I cannot stay mad at Ghostface even if one BMs me. :) I love having to dodge short range attacks by the skin of my teeth, so I really enjoy Dracula, Nemmy, Pinhead, and Springtrap for that - none of them feel overly unfair either. In addition, Nemesis, Springtrap, and Pinhead mains in my experience are pretty vibey, or at least are serious without taking the game to ubersweat levels of serious. They clearly do not care they're playing mid-tier Killers, they just wanna have a good time. Dracula Mains are more serious, but also are likely to be chill and really never play unfair in any way. They do sometimes seem a little confused on what form they want to stick to though.
:D : These Killers are usually pretty cool, take the game serious but not too much so, and generally are gentle souls unless you push them too far. They also usually have some pretty fun mechanics that make me play the game a bit different. Some have short range attacks. I love Vecna, Pig, and Sadako for that reason - they make you play the game different and do anything other than just sit on a gen. I like Dredge because it's fun to verse my Main, and I also think Dredges play the right mix of serious and calm. They often try to go for the jumpscare, and I play similar, so I like Dredge. Demo Mains are hilarious and always get goodboi points but I have seen some sweaty ones, too. Pyramid Heads are pretty fair and chill, but will slap you around if you're a little jerk, so I respect them. I find the trails fun to dodge too. Spirit basically plays like an M1 with a short range M2 attack around loops she's so fast, so I enjoy trying to loop her and out-listen her or hide. I must be insufferable to Spirit playersβ¦:) : I usually like playing against these Killers unless they're playing That One Build, use That One Strat, or they're sweating super hard. Myers is awesome unless he's Tombstone. Billy, Bubba, and Oni are fun and chill unless they tunnel a lot or slug everyone. Artist and Unknown are usually fine and dandy unless they're really obnoxious about their ranged attacks, tunnel, or run perks that negate their weaknesses - I've had a fair few BMing Artists and Unknowns sadly. Hag is usually pretty chill all around, I just find her more boring than other Killers so she goes here. She's not bad and I don't mind her, I just don't think she's as fun as others.
:| : "This sure is a round of DBDβ¦" I am ambivalent to these Killers. 50/50, they go either way, half are cool people and fun but half are sweaty or toxic and unfun. Or, half of them are very good at DBD and fun, while the other half suck and aren't much fun to verse because of obvious mismatches. Often rely on kinda nasty strats at their worst, but the chill ones are gold. Wraith, Nurse, Huntress, Blight, and Wesker are all cool if they don't play That One Really Toxic Playstyle - hard tunnels, slugging, hitting on hook, proxy camping with range/speed, etc. Xenos either universally suck behind, or they're really good and can be fun. I just have no real strong feelings on Xeno. Singularity is the same - either the Singu sucks, or they're a champion of the Fog and they destroy you without a chance, either way it's not very fun. Also tend to use the cameras to proxy gens, which is miserable if it's a 3gen. Legion is annoying but has no choice not to be, I forgive them, they're about as barebones DBD as you can get. Freddys are either like a more annoying Dredge mixed with a more annoying Legion, or chill. No in between.
:( : Their playstyle is annoying and often their players are salty or toxic. Or, they tend to run the most irritating builds known to man. I have rarely met a kind Knight, Slinger, or Chucky, they're always super obnoxious. They tend to tunnel a lot too, and some even camp hooks. I also dislike Knight's Mori, I don't wanna be ganged up on by four dudes. I just find Trapper's traps VERY annoying; Trapper mains themselves are fine. I swear to God every Doctor alive tries their hardest every round to be as irritating as possible; they're the mosquitoes of the Fog for real.
>:( : I am not enjoying this round - either the Killer usually dominates and we get to have no fun, I can't seem to figure the counter out, they play like a jerk E V E R Y time I face one, or they just have really unfun powers to face. Trickster mains are fine, I just don't like versing a Killer that I can't do anything to loop against or dodge, so all I do with Trickster is rat which isn't very fun. Clowns are universally the most miserable people in the Fog and I'm sure of it. Houndmaster herself is problematic in that she's not really a Killer you can loop, but unlike Knight she's not got a clear enough counter to her dog and I just⦠I just don't know man. I just don't see her much, I don't know how to play against her, she feels like she gets BS hits with the dog and I hate it. She's fine, her mains are fine, they're not rude or anything, I just don't enjoy playing against her kit.
DCs and Eats Penalty: Self-explanatory. I can, have, and will DC against these Killers and eat the penalty if I am frustrated enough. I will tap out and stand under a hook if I can't. I have no real issue with Skurchent whatsoever and never did since her first nerf - she's only here for memes. Realistically I don't mind her. The others, though⦠Every Kaneki tunnels I swear, and that QTE Ghoul Mark is awful. I hate that it halts my momentum for ages. I hate that you can't easily avoid it unless you pan your camera like a swivel chair. I hate that he's hard to loop. I hate his speed. I hate that EVERY KANEKI IN THE FOG PLAYS LIKE THE SWEATIEST SWEAT ALIVE. I do not like Kaneki, I do not like versing Kaneki. Not even a bad one. I have never met a Plague that didn't feel like she was playing for the $5 Subway card, and her mechanic simply isn't enjoyable. I genrush as hard as I can against her and if I see ANY sign of toxicity from her, I tap out. Sorry, not doing it. I also really, REALLY hate her Mori. I have never met a Twins that did not slug, camp hooks with Victor, or otherwise play like a jerk, and the issue is that's their kit. That's deadass their kit, that is their playstyle and the only reason they're strong. I swear I have never not once managed to actually kick Victor properly. Their Mains have this "uwu soft" energy but they play like absolute jerks because⦠well⦠that's their kit. They also tend to prevent you from attempting to leave the round unless you DC, I have had so many Twins slug me instead of hooking me to die, bleed me out with Victor over me, and camp my hook with Victor. It's like they think they're the moral enforcers of the Fog and I hate it.

Well, when you enjoy a game, you play it. Now, yes, there are way too many Killers where they're just never fun to face, or depend on the match, that doesn't mean every Killer is unfun to face - and it is mainly down to preference. Frankly, if you're not critiquing a game and its design, then are you really a fan? Criticism is how developers know what areas they need to improve, so letting them know which Killers aren't fun to face or to even play let's them know where to improve, if they even care to look at the forums, anyway.
Tier lists like these can help set an average, to let them know, on average, who is fun to face (i.e. ones who don't really need to be nerfed) and who aren't fun to face (the ones who probably need a nerf).

Interesting situation with Singularity, my dear friend, before this thread I thought most players liked him.

I love how mine is very bell-curve-like!

I get that heβs probably really fun to play, and itβs no hate against singularity players, friend promise itβs not you pinky swear, they donβt even play βtoxicβ usually. Itβs just man you gotta sit on gens, then gotta stand around and hold down a button for a box to get the emps on repeat, sometimes they hit and run so now your adding healing sim on top of it which is more standing around. To me he does incorporate something different , I just donβt like the different.
At least with pigs old school braces that promote jaw realignment Iβm running around trying to get it off and the side quest feels more engaging. The players usually have a lot of personality. Ya never know whatβs going to happen with them. Itβs a vs his kit thing for me more than a person behind the wheel with singularity. Theyβre all down there for different reasons. Iβd rather see singularity than cannibal if it makes you feel better.
Like Iβm not gonna lie to you clown and doctor are both down there because 1. I donβt like screaming my head off it gives me a headache. 2. I just have a visceral loathing for clowns smoker cough, and I gotta listen to it. Doesnβt even have anything to do with their gameplay. If I could mute those singular noise interactions both would jump up to still having fun.

The screaming childrenβ¦ the loud pitched whining in his Total Darkness. Iβve always hated it and wish it was removed or replaced with something not so insufferably annoying.
Regardless, I do enjoy going against him overall. He doesnβt feel bad to play against. Just very auditorily annoying.

My take would look something like this:

Interesting tier list, my friend!
While I disagree with Wesker, I'm happy to see my favorite killers in the "Depends on the build" tier. That means they have the potential of providing enjoyable games, which is always a good thing!

Here is my list. Unknown probably takes the number 1 overall spot for me. His whole kit is very interactive for both sides imo. Idk if thatβs a popular opinion, but it is what I believe nonetheless.

Damn I forgot about the max madness static images; those were good times. Very creative and anxiety inducing.

Doctor's face suddenly showing up on your screen was an awesome little effect, I miss it.

Personally I have a lot of fun looping ghoul never understood the frustration of going against him ππ

Hello friend, interesting list! I like the Skull Merchant appreciation here!
I've noticed the Vecna appreciation these last few lists. Though I must admit I don't really like him.

I just really like the the items you can get from going against him spices up the game a bit :D
