Who is the worst killer?

Recently I decided to learn Nurse. I'm actually doing quite well, although Nurse is proving to be one of the most difficult killers to "master".

Well, whatever....after dropping 1,000,000 BPs in Nurse, I've decided to see what everyone else is talking about.

I want the opinion of the community about the weakest/worst killer. I want to see how far I can take that killer. Despite the label of "easy" or "hard", I want the challenge!

I want to see how good I can really be....how far can I go with the handicap.

    I was at work when I posted this, and got different posts crossed. The worst killer on PC would probably be Freddy, but I don’t usually do that bad with him on the PS4. On PS4, Nurse is definitely the worst, due to the frame rate. Once a survivor knows how to juke a Nurse and lose LOS, they will never die. It’s just to easy to get away. That being said, if you play Freddy now, it will be a total loss once his rework is out. They started from scratch, and we have no idea what his new power will be.

    I’d say, go for LF if you really want something difficult, and won’t be changing anytime soon. At the higher ranks you’ll definitely have a difficult time, if you can even get him there under the current system.

    Freddy, but Trapper or doctor will probably take his place after the rework.

    While I appreciate your taking the time to respond, I'm not sure you understood my question:

    I want a challenge. I want the weakest/worst killer in players opinions so I can start a new main. I want to experience (test) the worst of the worst, the most frustrating, the most annoying killer to PLAY!

    @HavelmomDaS1

    Doc is my main...he is NOT weak by any means.

    So far I have:

    1 - Meyers

    1 - Freddy

    I’d probably say leatherface, although I still like playing as him occasionally. The most frustrating part about him is when you bump your chainsaw into an object and he throws a little tantrum. If you don’t equip add-ons to shorten the tantrum, that survivor you were chasing will be long gone by the time you regain control.

    Also, Freddy as everyone says. He’s fun to play as, but having to put everyone frequently in the dream can be a pain. Expect a lot of survivors to body block your ass.

    @Kaelum Marth is getting pretty bad at DbD. He was great once but went downhill after the anniversary tournament.

    Due to long breaks and health issues.

    Same with Tyde he cut his hours by a ton too focusing on achievement hunting other games and isn't as good anymore.

    Zubat and Scott are the greats atm.

    Tldr: Mid 2018 Marth was an incredible Nurse.

    @Bbbrian2013 Check out Ardetha. He's by far the best nurse I've ever seen.


    @FSB75 Are you going to use add ons? If so then Leatherface. If not then Freddy.

    I’d say Leatherface after Legion gets their reworks.

    @HavelmomDaS1

    Lol at Doctor being anywhere near worst Killer in the game. He’s actually a mid tier Killer who can easily find Survivors and prevent them from vaulting/dropping a pallet so he can get an easy hit in.

    3 - Leatherface

    1 - Meyers

    1 - Freddy

    Freddy, Leatherface, Doctor, Legion.

    I'd say Leatherface takes the trophy. I personally find him even worse than Freddy.

    Doc and Freddy are lame.

    The bottom of the sewer crap is Legion.

    Nooo!

    Leather face and Stabby Mc Stabface are really fun to play as!

    I find Plague to be a real stinker at the mo. Her charge time on vomit, is a massive hindrance, ineffective and only useful against potatoes in the chase, as is the need to visit pools to temporarily make her power offensive. Oh and those pools also FULLY heal survivors.

    I'd say that's worth 2 votes alone!

    Leather face may need to charge his power, but if he hits, you're buggered; if plague hits against a savvy survivor, its barely an inconvenience!

    Oh and Freddy is awesome at transitional mind games. So many funny free hits!!!

    Worst killer is me when I'm playing as one.

    In my opinion the weakest killer is Leatherface. He can be strong of course, but that applies to all killers. Once you master a killer, you can use them even at rank 1

  • Captain_Spaulding
    Captain_Spaulding Member Posts: 587

    Trapper. Freddy can ######### with the team and leatherface has a one hit down option. Even if his add ons are trash just run em down. Trapper gets outplayed by his own traps far too often simply cause the hitbox is buggered to hell.

  • Ihatelife
    Ihatelife Member Posts: 5,069

    Since Freddy and Legion are getting a rework, Letherface will be the worst killer.

    Myers second worst killer? What game are you playing?

    A doctor main thinks doctors is not bad. No surprise to me tho

    @FSB75 myers bad ? Are you a rank 20?

    In my opinion, LF and Trapper at high ranks can be a nightmare.

    @HavelmomDaS1

    Myers is definitely at least a mid tier Killer.

    I'd like to know why you think Doctor is anywhere close to being the worst Killer in the game.

    Freddy is currently the weakest by far. But you will only notice how weak he is when you play against good survivors. Against inexperienced survivors, he is as viable as everybody else.

  • ClogWench
    ClogWench Member Posts: 2,582

    100% doctor. Freddy has flaws but at least has some niche strengths that make up for them. Doctors ability is honestly worthless and relies heavily on survivors making pretty basic mistakes to get any leverage. A survivor with good reaction time and situational awareness can outright deny doctors from getting any leverage out of his power in a chase and at best it just slows them down outside of a chase as their forced to snap out of it. He's good with tracking but once in a chase he's a basic M1 killer who can trick novice players into believing he's not.

    Aside from Freddy, Trapper is really weak. He is pure RNG.

  • OGlilSPOOK20
    OGlilSPOOK20 Member Posts: 716

    Well, we've been over this many many times. Freddy is by far the worst, solely because he is super add-on and certain perks dependent just to win. But if you wanna get technical here "hehe" Legion by far isn't even on the Tier list... Just a poorly designed killer meant to satisfy those whiny/bad killer mains that don't know their way through a pallet and bad mind games.

    I'll perform a tally this evening and start a new main based on the community's opinion...looks like I'm gonna get to know Leatherface very well.

    Basically, I'm simply taking the first killer name mentioned.

    I will be using the killer perks and addons, as such "no blink nurse" isn't counted as a real vote.

  • FSB75

    Looks like I'm going to main Leatherface....

  • Kiskashi
    Kiskashi Member Posts: 1,043

    I'm a little offended here 😂, I'd say leatherface and don't camp, see how that goes. Plague and clown are a little lacking too. Freddy and Mikey are fine.

  • Dustin
    Dustin Member Posts: 2,306

    Between Freddy and Leatherface but I'd probably say Leatherface for consistency.

    Sometimes you can have good games as Freddy if everything goes right and none of the survivors are prepared to exploit Freddy's weaknesses. Leatherface is just consistently on the same level of performance really.

  • edgarpoop
    edgarpoop Member Posts: 8,369

    Clown is actually really bad in my opinion. Most pallets are still safe even if the survivor runs through the gas unless you have certain add ons, and good survivors just drop pallets early against him. He has zero map pressure, no game slowing ability, doesn't snowball well, and you'll have to reload frequently, which negates most upside he has in a chase. Maybe it's just me, but I find him mostly useless beyond rank 10. Freddy's game stalling gets me more than Clown's time saved in chases.

  • FSB75
    FSB75 Member Posts: 474

    I find Clown to be add on dependent. I don't play him much, but like Huntress, he has a ranged "hinder" ability that can really do help close the gap and do some serious damage quickly.

    Nea, she’s too reliant on pallets blocking in survivors to their doom.

    The Legion is pretty damn weak if people would stop ragequitting against him. It's very easy to survive him.

    I honestly think Freddy is stronger, but that could just be a distorted perception due to everyone being dumb and selfish against him.

    Leigons who waste time doing just deep wounds (with filthy nasty blades!) are the worst. They dedicate that match to just annoy you

    @FSB75 With Leatherface, you'll never experience the feeling when gens get finished, hex totems get cleansed, survivors get healed or unhooked right in front of you and you have to watch helplessly. Also Adrenaline and MoM would hit you more hard as Freddy. Freddy has the weakest basement game. If you really want to play the weakest killer, there is only one option.
