For me its Freddy. I usually don't play against Freddy's so when I do, I don't know what to avoid, how to play decent against him, etc. Wby?

    Ghostface can throw me off pretty hard, if I'm not running spine chill. A good hag can be terrifying.

    Of course Spirit gives me trouble but honestly, Hag absolutely wrecks my soul.

    Probably Spirit with Ghostface being a close second.

    Doctor, because he's so annoying to play against. A good doctor is pretty much the only time I ever consider DCing.

    All of them

    My potatoness knows no bounds. I don't know why I play the game sometimes, with how bad I am its amazing that I could survive matches.

    I hate the stealth ones the most, I rely on hearing the killer along with spinechill and premonition. If their ability blocks mine, the chase usually ends quick since I am terrible at looping.

    I enjoy hiding, and creeping around rocks and trees. It's thrilling when the killer is on the other side looking for me, and I am just slowly edging around making sure I am out of their line of sight. heck, its funny when I wedge myself between rocks or hide in a bush and the killer just passes me by.

    I like helping my teammates with unhooks and healing. I hate how they're idiots and run off, leaving a bunch of scratch marks for the killer to follow (or worse, run over all of the hags traps). Seriously, it wouldnt kill you to crawl away to not leave a trail and let me heal you.

    All in all, Ghostface, Mrs Piggy, Legion, and Michael and Wraith give me the most trouble. Ghostface doesn't scare me anymore because I find it funny when I seem him peeking behind a corner.

    Trapper is a pain because he makes all grass become scary.

    I like facing the doctor and Plague if I have good teammates.

    Typically, I dislike killers who trump my stealth because I'm terrible in chases. Like, sure, I can loop, but not as good as your typical rank 1 survivor.

    This is why I use stealth to carry myself to rank 1 because it wastes so much of the killer's time when the search but don't find you. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜


    Therefore, I dislike Doctor a lot, but hey, I'm getting better at chases by the day so it's all good! :)

    Wraith, ghosty face, pig. Unless you're running spine chill or key you don't know they are there until it's too late. They are easy enough to loop but they generally get at least one free hit I can get distance on the other killers so long as I have a terror radius to work with.

    Its not because I have a hard time going against him in a match but because NO ONE PLAYS HIM!

    Hag, because:

    1. She is rarely played, so I didn't have chance to learn how to play against her
    2. I sprint all the time
  • PigMainClaudette
    PigMainClaudette Member Posts: 3,842

    I've never escaped from new Freddy from memory. Hillbilly and Leatherface are also super hard for me to fight, but that's mainly because it seems like a majority of them rely on their chainsaw. Hag is another one because I get camped out by her traps.

  • Lanterns

    You make it sound like "bad" Hillbilly/Leatherface players used their chainsaw and "good ones" played without their power. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    If you can barely properly use Hag, you'll probably kill me.

    Doesn't matter how many Phantasm Traps i avoid or crouch through, i'll somehow die.

    I have REALLY easy games against Trapper though.

    Legion just cause he bores me to death with his 28 useless stabs.

    For real though I get extremely paranoid around trapper not knowing where he placed em so he's probably one I hate facing the most.

    That might be a strange pick but for me it is handsdown:

    The Trapper

    ... i hate Trapper traps

    This Killer is ruining my day every day at least once. I know he is not thats strong, but playing against him is sooo painful. Every window you fault, every grass you walk through, its the pure horror for me when against the Trapper.

  • Dwight_Fairfield
    Dwight_Fairfield Member Posts: 7,095

    Spirit for obvious reasons.

  • Omg me too. I had a match recently where I stepped in so many traps that the killer thanked me at the end. No one else was stepping in then. Sad part is that I wasnโ€™t doing it on purpose. Iโ€™m a klutz in life and in the game.

    I face a top tier nurse and i'm actually able to get a one minute chase off. I'm so proud of myself. Next game i walk up to anything and just get trapped out of nowhere. Trapper is my personal S tier killer. xD

    It's more that I'm so over them waiting until only in M1 or lunge distance to activate their chainsaw. A lot of Leatherfaces I fight abuse the broken nature of environmental hit detection, and Hillbillies will hold it while looping, waiting to be literally touching me before using it, rather than an easy M1 that literally any other killer would be happy to get.

    the oni. i haven't learned all of his power/playstyle yet but he seems hard to go against or play as.

  • Mister_Holdout
    Mister_Holdout Member Posts: 3,144

    Definitely Spirit. I main Jeff, so if the killer is Spirit I'm basically a goner.

  • Heartbound
    Heartbound Member Posts: 3,255

    Hillbilly and Huntress. Which is bad because they're free and common.

    I generally do okay against most killers but somehow the more noise you make the easier it is to sneak up on me. If everything is constant noise I tune it out.

    Unlike with Demogorgon and Oni though those two interrupt my generator time.

    Not trying to be negative towards you but I literally never get hit by a chainsaw unless my team wastes every pallet on the map. Whenever I face a Billy or Bubba and I notice they're "chainsaw happy" I usually either escape without getting injured one single time or I get facecamped after looping them for minutes till they go for their bloodlust-m1-swings.

    In fact I (almost) made a Bubba rage quit about an hour ago because I noticed he was chainsaw happy so I looped every pallet a million times which was easy as I know his chainsaw's biggest weakness (range+speed). I also noticed he ran charge addons which makes it even easier to loop Bubba into oblivion. Looped between the same windows after dropping a few pallets over and over again till he literally stopped moving for a few seconds. I started laughing while looping the same windows all the time.

    He definitely was about to rage quit but (probably) wanted to facecamp me so bad so he "pulled through the match" - with no success.


    After minutes of struggling he decided to m1 me just to lose me eventually due to Iron Will. Then the last gen popped. It was that bone shaped azarov map and they were on the other side of the map so they had enough time to open the gates. Easiest 4 man escape I could have thought of.


    Matches like these make me wonder how I manage to play whole matches using nothing but the chainsaw. It seems laughably easy to loop a chainsaw happy killers as long as there's some good windows and pallets.


    Same goes for Billy. If they're chainsaw happy you can abuse pallets and vaults like hideously easily unless it's a curving Hillbilly who knows what he's doing in which case he deserves to hook me anyday of the week. It's no shame to go down to a curving Billy.


    Sorry for sounding arrogant by the way but I really think it's braindead easy to abuse chainsaw happy killers.

    Nurse although I haven't seen much of her after the changes. I hate Billy so much its unreal. I've never played against a Freddy lmao but I don't play survivor often! Good spirits can be annoying but I enjoy being stealthy so her counter play works great for me ๐Ÿ‘Œ

  • StardustSpeedway
    StardustSpeedway Member Posts: 882

    Freddy.

    Reason: my team mates never know how to properly deal with him so gens never get done. And if they're being worked on, they won't bother hiding in a locker or pretend to go in a different direction so Freddy doesn't pop goes the weasel it.

  • LlamaArmour
    LlamaArmour Member Posts: 75

    Spirit without a doubt.

    Trapper and Freddy are joint second: Trapper because of the tall grass and Forever Freddy because I'm scared of commitment (jk, its actually his snares)

    Well Freddy is just OP atm so not counting him (Not him directly but his slow down addons with the right perks is obviously gonna get nerfed soon), honestly the Pig? The RNG boxes ######### me over every time.

  • PigMainClaudette
    PigMainClaudette Member Posts: 3,842

    Are you playing on PC or console? Because I've tried all these apparant tricks to negate chainsaws and none of them work on Xbox. That and I still think that Bubba's environmental collision is genuinely broken.

  • Micheal_Myers
    Micheal_Myers Member Posts: 1,147

    I'd say, Leatherface or Oni.


    i would say freddy but it's just his hitboxes being bugged.
