I was thinking about my top 5 most annoying killers to go against just two days ago and funnily enough my top 3 were exactly the same.
Ghoul is just absolutely obnoxious. One thing that would make him a bit more bearable would be the removal of Deep Wound in his kit. Knight is obnoxious as well, although less strong. But nothing fun when you play against one, especially the hardcore twotap ones. Trickster is pretty harmless overall, but the knives are just completely stupid to me. And I hate his chase theme.
Spot 4 and 5 for me are Doctor and Legion. Tbf Doctor is annoying by nature, that's his whole gimmick. Legion was an absolute disaster the last 2v8 they were available and since then I absolutely hate this killer.
The biggest difference is that I don't get the rating for Pinhead and Nurse, as I actually enjoy playing against them (same goes for Blight). It can be rough, but I like the gameplay against them.

I think it is a bit different. With Spirit it was mostly Prayer Beads and the collision and with Freddy it was Forever Freddy. But I think Basekit many people had not really issues with those Killers.
But every Ghoul is obnoxious.

Not suprised tbh. Any killer power that takes an ounce of braincells to counter survivors hate, and more than half of these killers are b tiers and below. (relatively weak) even Ghoul and Krasue have counterplay, they're just stronger killers so even with proper counterplay you don't last long

Your right it was problematic add-ons that made them hated while these are hated on due to how they are designed.

I agree with most of these, except for:
Trickster - I’ve honestly never had trouble against him and he’s generally considered to be pretty low tier
Legion - he’s only a problem if players keep healing back to full health instead of doing gens. He only does well against players who are too scared to play injured.
Doctor - similar to Trickster, I’ve never had a problem against him. Seems like he only does well against newer players who can’t hit skill checks and don’t know to predrop pallet.
I would have added Singularity to the list, especially for solo queue. Seems like teammates never disable the cameras near gens so he’s always interrupting gen progress and it’s really tough to win against a decent Singularity unless you have good team coordination.1 -
Trickster is seen as annoying because he's Spam slop
1 -
Im actually glad to see Legion outside of the top 5. I think he has been overhated for a long time and he isn't that powerful particularly if survivors spread out. I'm almost surprised pinhead cracked top 10 since be is so rare to see due to being unavailable.
2 -
I can see the annoyance in almost all these killers but what did Chucky and Doctor do 🤣
4 -
I still hate Spirit…
3 -
Not at all surprised by the top spot one.
I remember those days. Forever Freddy and Stridor Spirit.
1 -
Phew only one of mine is up there 😅

Prayer Beads was bad but she was hated after its rework as well. People weren’t a fan of her lack of feedback when phasing.
2 -
Weird poll.
No Blight in the top 10 but chucky…
4 -
Prayer Beads was the all-time best jumpscare add-on.
I remember scaring my best buddy with that so bad. Priceless!
I would argue that the current Cherry Blossom is worse to face than Prayer Beads were, because it removes the counterplay to her phasing.0 -
Frankly I'm tired of hearing people cry about Ghoul. They are far less oppressive than a good Blight or Nurse. People just flat out hate mobility killers.
-2 -
Blight, Chucky, Doctor, Cenobite, HoundMaster, Singu, Springtrap
It’s not like “I really hate you” list. But I felt annoyed playing against them because simply bad at dodging them when see good players.
Ironically, I loved looping Ghoul.
2 -
All I can guess is Dash spam ain't fun to go against Chucky.
Doctor I geuss the madness can be very annoying and the impossible skill check builds on doctor has made people hate him
-1 -
I don't personally mind Blight/Nurse. They can be quite fun to play against for me.
For me it all comes to difficulty of playing as vs playing against. Ghoul simply fails there with how easy he is to use.
I agree Blight/Nurse are stronger than him in hands of decent players, but I will take them any day over Ghoul/Krasue.Remove Ghoul's ability to cancel in middle of dash and only after the slide ends and I am fine with him, because suddenly he will need to know where to dash in order to get down with it.
1 -
Okay now I know you're taking the piss with Krasue. Krasue having infection removed after a hook made their power virtually useless.
-1 -
Pinhead should be topping the "most fun in game" list.

i will give u my top 10 hated killers to verse on the current pallet filler update, and its as legit as it can be, 10 is the least of a problem, 1 is the most problematic.
#10 = Houndmaster - boring gameplay.
#9 = Alien - Too many fillers and now alien can easily 2tap people with his power.
#8 = Knight - Boring just like the houndmaster but also annoying due to u getting chased by a guard for no reason wasting ur time.
#7 = Trickster - Due to pallets getting shrinked he can easily zone u with his knives and hit u though those unsafe loops and down u quickly, only option is to stay as far as possible, not much of a fun experience overall.
#6 = Krasu - now with the smaller loops u no longer need to use perks such bloodfavor to gain momentum, can easily mark survivors and hit them around loops before they manage to drop any pallet.
#5 = Oni - cause his power was made for bad players to get downs easily and now with the current update its far too easy to spin around loops and get free downs.
4# = Spirit - Goodluck mind gaming on unsafe loops.
3# = Blight - enjoy free hit on nearly every loop, and u cant even leave the unsafe loops anyway.
2# = Ghoul - can easily free hit anybody, build pressure everywhere at the same time, run perks like surge and dms, 0 counterplay litereally.
#1 = Twins - for obvious reasons, no counterplay already and now even the m1 form is capable due to the size of the new filler pallets.
this is the list, is not about who is the strongest in the list, but who is the most annoying to verse, i will also share my opinion on the tier list currently for those killers below.
10 = B+
9 = A
8 = B
7 = B+
6 = S-
5 = A+
4 = S-
3 = S+
2 = S
1 = S+
feel free to disagree, its my personal opinion.

She is still hated and when I got her someone will dc most likely because people still hate her for some reason even the fact she is just worse than trapper maybe.
1 -
I still don't understand what exactly they nerfed about the Ghoul. All the things people hate about him are still in the game.
2 -
Only half of them would really make it onto my list (Knight, Pinhead, Trickster, Clown). Krasue and Ghoul would probably be up there if I saw them more often but I don't.
My others would be Ghost Face, Wesker, Huntress (I'm just sick to death of seeing these three Killers at this point), Spirit (zero counter play without a pair of headphones which I don't wear), Oni (hate the slugging play style) and Singularity. I used to like Singu before they buffed him but now he's incredibly oppressive against my disorganised Solo Q teams. He can lock down a 3 gen like nobody else and he has a very strong chase power as well.

She's still hated but when your basically none existent you don't have to worry about her
2 -
Knight as number two is interesting. I don't have that strong of feelings about him but I do think his gameplay is lame. Trickster is number one for me. I just think he's annoying. Same with Legion and Doctor, though I find them both fun to play as, just not against. Clown and Chucky I'd agree, not because of the kits necessarily, but because of the people who play them.
0 -
Knight is most boring because he's just an M1 Killer that has you being chased by bots simulator so I can kinda see why
0 -
No I totally get it. I think it's a goofy set of abilities. Number two just seems extreme for him. Like Knight right under the most complained about killer in the game? I never hear about Knight.
0 -
True what are the chances that you will be matched against one of five p100 merchant, pretty low.
0 -
knight being second when his guards dont do ######### 90% of the time and hes one of the few (or only) killer that get punished for working WITH your power is crazy to me…
1 -
this would kill the killer tho? if you cant predict with the mid "dash" cancel then he wil be legion but more clunky since you gotta finish the dash before you can end it giving the survivors ample time to double back and run/sprint burst away
0 -
if you cant predict with the mid "dash" cancel
There is nothing to predict, he can do it on reaction.
His last dash has no slide, so he can always use that to bodyblock survivors.
This will simply mean it will be more difficult to end directly next to a survivor, but he should not be able to do it in first place. It will still be great for mobility.Either he shouldn't have chase power, or he shouldn't have free injury. It doesn't make sense to have both.
giving the survivors ample time to double back
That's the whole point. If you dash too close, survivor can double back. So you need to know the distance you are going to cover with slide and dash based on it, which is suddenly way more likely to miss play.

Oh dear God had to remind me of old Spirit. Back then she literally had zero counter play until she got a directional audio que. Used to D/C or give up on hook a lot against her.
Heard but never played vs old Freddy before.
0 -
Of course, my number one hated Killer is Hag. So thank God I don't see her very often, haha.
0 -
the good ol days when you could unironically have your cat walk by and trip on your controller cord and somehow that could score you a hit/down with Spirit
1 -
My most hated killer is Oni.
It didn't used to be like that, until he got impossible to counterplay around loops, thanks to the practical "auto-aim" you have now.
Also, your ping needs to be PERFECT against him, otherwise, you end up getting hit through corners that shouldn't have been possible in the first place.3 -
Makes sense sense Oni can hit you from any angle now there really no counterplay against his Blood fury now
1 -
Just out of curiosity what is it about hag that you don't like?
I don't have hated killers but there are killers that I just go up against too often ie springtrap, trapper, wraith. Ghostface is another but they usually have a lot of personality so its still enjoyable
1 -
It's just the way her traps can trigger from a mile away, and how your camera automatically turns when they trigger, making me run into obstacles and guarantee getting hit. It's even worse when she's running the Rusty Shackles add-on. Her entire kit just irritates me like grinding gears with a piercing screech.

Would be nice if he gets the Myers add-on treatment (even if I hate modern Myers), where you:
- With an add-on you get the free injury, but you lose the ability to stop. This would be better for console players who can't pull off the flicks required to cut off/lamd hits easily.
- At base, your grab instead purely becomes a dodgable skillshot, but you retain the ability to slide cancel.
Seems pretty fair in that outcome.
-1 -
That's basically the idea. The "nerf ghoul" crowd wants him taken out back and given the Skull Merchant treatment. They will never stop crying about him no matter what.
-3 -
Doesn't Chucky have a 12-second cooldown after using his ability, and isn't he a 110% killer? How is that considered dash spamming?
0 -
My guess is it's a holdout from when he had a 7-8 sec cooldown and stuff like unnerfed Rat Poison and old Slice and Dice speed. Even stuff like Chucky flick tech and manual scamper for the few months that was a thing was enough to cement a bad taste in many players mouth.
I think opinion will chill more on him as time goes on and other killers catch ire. He's in a solid enough state now, though I'll never stop asking for him to get his stealth vault back while in Hidey Ho mode.

i dunn how doc is up in the top ten . i can think so many more killers more annoying . and this is coming from a doc main
0 -
Like even Doc's arguably most annoying build (rhythm game build) is not that hard to deal with.
0 -
He's just boring dash slop people don't actually like that since now that's all he is
