Every Killer Ranked Least to Most Fun for BOTH Sides! (Dead by Daylight)

I like that you do this based on polls; it makes it a lot more objective. Not that there isn't a place for a personal tier list, but it's good to distinguish between "this is what I personally think" and "this is what the community as polled appears to think," and I appreciate that you make that distinction.

Amen, I dont get how its great to face countless Blights, Huntresses and Nurses. I'd play Trickster because I love playing as him.

[@Legacy0901]

I think a big reason that Myers and Ghostface are consistently loved to play against is because stealth killers can really immerse you in the experience and get you in that 'horror movie' mindset. M1 killers are undeniably charming from a survivor perspective, aside from Myers t3 giving him a slight edge neither of them have any overbearing gimmicks in chase and rely on getting clean hits to win.

It’s always very interesting to see how general opinions stack against my own personal opinions. My mains are generally poorly received (Sadako, Nurse, Spirit), and some of my least favorite to play against were rated pretty high (Wraith). It’s also very interesting how the way a person plays can dramatically impact how fun they are to face. Artist who uses her power to zone? Kinda whatever. Artist that uses her power for map-wide pressure and goes for snipes? Super fun.

I may be in a minority here but I actually do enjoy facing Nurse. I love that she makes me change up how I have to loop, whether it's breaking line of sight or doing a last second turn around a random object. Also, I think Knight is higher than SM because he offers more feelings of intimidation for both sides and the guards offer more entertainment. When the Call of Brine/Eruption combo got nerfed, he seemed to get the brunt of the blame for that but hopefully this list shows that some of his hate has lessened. Slightly at least.

[@Smokin_Choochang]

As a halfway clown main, people have the totally wrong idea of how to use him, which leads to boring gameplay. I feel taking advantage of his speed bottle is the way better way to play him. Currently running a build of Agitation, STFBL, Jolt, and Coup de Grace. What makes clown instantly fun is dropping a speed bottle right at your feet right before you pick up a downed survivor, and with Agitation, you are ZOOMIN!

[@Sariiger]

I'm surprised Spirit is so low. She's my favorite killer to face, as I love audio based gameplay, and she's also one of my favorite ones to play for the same reason. I do have a pair of really expensive (~$400) headphones though, so that definitely helps. She's the only killer I've ever looped for 5 gens, and nothing's more satisfying than perfectly knowing where she is as she's phasing and timing pallet stuns over and over again. I do realize that predropping is normally the way to go against her, but if I experience that the headphone gap is big enough in my favor, I'll play riskier, and it usually pays off. On the killer side it's also super fun to mind-game, and find survivors that are healthy crouching still just based on the very subtle breaths they let out. I feel she's super fun to play against and as, and it feels rewarding in both cases when you're popping off.

@@liandre9035 I love playing as Trickster, Legion and Knight. Trickster being my main bae. But the Hope, MFT meta killed him as he's slower then a survivor and has to work twice as hard than any 4.4 killer to get a down. I mean his speed drops lower then base survivor when he has knives drawn. Pair that with survivors outspeeding a running Trickster. Goodbye game, hello L's. Trickster sadly works as a noobstomper who doesnt know how to loop. As soon as Trickster looses line of sight he's useless and his Laceration Decays, so all that work you put in a chase is for nothing even if you're a knife away. Im also gonna add that its bs that a piss easy killer is ranked low to face. I swear people hate him for the kpop theme. I dont get how people can find Blight more fun to face as he's a stronger and more common killer. You'd think survivors would want diversity in matches and an easier killer. Not to mention he's ranked low as Skull Merchant who took games hostage, while with Tricksters they breeze

[@liandre9035]

@@FinestFantasyVI 100% agree with you. I used to be a killer main, Legion was my first. And with more and more broken perks added for survivors and nerfed gen regression perks i started maining survivor. I used to play 40/60 though leaning more towards killer, then it became like 20/80 leaning towards survivors. And now that mostly only pro players dare to really play killer anymore (in my mmr at least, after the softcap) even survivor became totally unfun. there is SO many interesting killers just like trickster and yet you hardly see any of em because they are all so damn weak. Unless you have like 4000 hours worth of play time with em. But even so its no wonder most people play blight or nurse or snipe with huntress rather than using trickster if its coming down to ranged killers. But the survivor heavy community doesnt care, they can just demand and demand and demand and behaviour gives it to them because they fear getting review bombed again. By a survivors book every killer is annoying if they dont let them just win. I tend to get annoyed by certain killers too but (oni and myers for example) because i really dont like their gameplay but its not half as exhausting as playing killer nowdays. Thats why i only ever play against bots, no use getting salty comments from spoiled players just because i try to win when all cards are against me.

[@FinestFantasyVI]

@@liandre9035 And besides, even if you are the best Trickster main. Is it really worth sinking hours of your life in a frustrating game where you will get hate for playing as Trickster or would you rather play a casual single player game for actual fun. I am a staunch meta rejector who prefers to make games fun. I never used the broken Eruption, Call of Brine, Overcharge, gen kick meta combo. Even if it would benefit me. I always put just 1 slowdown perk and some others for diversity. My whole shtick is/was to put some flavour into DBD with a rarer seen killer and perks. People will always tell me "You're low mmr thats why this and that". But bruh, when the game is unplayable its unplayable. Idc what mmr I am not. If the game is shoehorning you to play the same 3 killers, the same 4 perks. The game aint worth it imo. I havent touched Trickster since MFT got released. Last time I did actually was during the Nick Cage PTB where I just wanted to see a mori with Nick. But everyone ran the sweatiest perks and would hide away to Plot Twist and again all MFT Hope bs. And so true. To survivors every killer is annoying unless they win. To me the most unfun killers to face are Huntress, Blight, Plague and Pinhead. There was once a day that I ran into 10 Huntresses in a row. I counted, there wasnt even a Tome, and different cosmetics and usernames. I just ran to Huntresses in my lobbies. I got so oversaturated by the camping and tunneling Huntresses I just grew to despize them. On the contrary, when Knight released and the lobby was full of them for their tome, several actually were delightful and had a charm to them and a sense of humour. My survivor playstyle is also a staunch meta rejector, my build consiting of Kindred, Self Aware and Blood Pact. With one random perk sprinked in. Im legit the 1% on NightLight that runs BloodPact. MintSkull and others pulled by BP info which is hilarious

[@TekaMountinui-ih2zv]

For me, I think Doctor is definitely the funniest to play in my opinion. I like playing him because I can use the intimate skill check build and just have fun representing getting survivors tier III of madness and just heading the crazy,killer,mad, insane laugh after AfTeR EVERY SHOCK😈. I think it's fun to play against doctor because it to as a challenge to sense the doctor, learn loops and mind games, and having to know when to leave a loop or progressing generator so you're not in the vicinity of the blast of his electricity power.

[@SoUlBrO1612]

As a Nemesis main i was surprised to see him so high, sometimes Nemesis can feel so slow and because of the 3th hit mechanic sometimes even weak, but as the survivor (and myself included) if you incounter Nemises then in 80-90% he will be a hardcore tunneling machine like people trying to play him as lore accurate as possible lol. But non the less i love Nemi and it's really warms my heart that people that play against me don't hate but rather enjoy play against me! But if i see someone playing as S.T.A.R.S. member team i will equipe a mori and do what ever it takes to kill ya, not because im trying to roleplay (maybe a lil bit tho) but because i freaking LOVE WHEN NEMI SAYS S.T.A.R.S.

I like playing as 1.knight, 2.dredge, and... actually, I think 3.Onryo but I don't like them as much nowadays. As for facing? I like 1.Pig, 2.Dredge, and... either 3.1.xenomorph or 3.2.singularity. It used to be Onryo in third but with the new condemn mechanics it actually kinda sucks to play against, atleast according to the last match I played. I like playing as knight because having the illusion of not playing alone, managing minions, and multitasking is fun. Dredge is atmospheric and I love the nightfall mechanic. Literally my favorite thing about a killer ever. And with Onryo because she's just so cool. Idk what it is but the character is just so cool to me even if I don't like playing as them all that much. As for the characters I like playing against. I love characters that change the game fundamentally. Pig is just awesome to play against, feeling rushed to get it off and the suspense that the headtrap gives is downright exhilarating. The ticking timer, the beeping, the knowledge that if you don't hurry and get unlucky, you *will* die. It's just great. Dredge's nightfall mechanic is once again one of my favorite mechanics ever and I always get scared whenever night falls, It feels like he could appear from any corner, from any locker. From anywhere. The tense feeling, that dread... The true fear I feel. It's absolutely beautiful. It's why I like playing dredge, because I want others to experience the same kind of fear. I like dredge mostly entirely because of nightfall. As for Xenomorph or the robot. For the Xenomorph, the turrets are cool and the xenomorph is just by far the coolest killer in the game looks wise. He creates a decent atmosphere and his animations are beautiful to watch, the only think I hate is crawler mode. It just kills most of the fear and honestly makes him look so stupid compared to his intimidating stance when standing. I do not understand why using crawler mode isn't a choice. You just get forced into it, whether you want to or not. It's so lame. But ignoring the lame crawler mode, the Xenomorph is very cool. As for the robot, the feeling of being monitored is just a nice feeling. His gameplay feels both fair and unfair at times so I really kinda like him but also don't like him. It's weird that it is how it is but that's just how it is. He's good in a way that hard to describe. As for Onryo, once again I just find them cool but with the new mechanics, the killer feels so... weird to play against. I'm not sure if it's bad or good but it's certainly weird. I don't like playing against her nearly as much.

I can tell you. Right before End Transmission. MFT killed Trickster, because the Haste stacking with Hope. You run faster then him. Can lose line of sight. His blades cant down you as he moves slower then base speed survivor when having blades drawn. Laceration decays, and one bad chase loses the game. Pair that with everyone at the time having MFT Hope and prob still do. It rendered Trickster unplayable, because he's the only 4.4 killer who has to hit you 6 times to down you or more if the laceration decays just a bit. And this is normal to high mmr Low mmr, Trickster is a noob stomper because newbies dont know how to loop yet. He has the opposite effect of Nurse. Where noob mmr Nurse is weak because player cant play her and its easy to escape her. While top mmr Nurse is a queen. Thats Trickster but reverse, he's easy to play as killer, not easy to avoid if you dunno what you're doing. As soon as you do tho. Trickster is done for.

Yeah you heard me, I actually love going against Knight. Besides maining him and knowing how he works, I do find that Knights who can constantly predict your moves with their guards are some of the most fun. Primarily because you are always constantly looping and second-guessing if Knight comes for you specifically. Suffice to say, yeah I'm an outlier on this lol --

[@kore2202]

has anyone else NOT seen a knight main in a long time?

[@keganbauer5119]

The hillbilly placement I’m not surprised by. He is really hard to get good results with if your using your saw for downs so unless you’ve played him for like 2 years like me he’s really challenging. Once you learn him though he is so satisfying to play it’s also nice to know the other side is having fun too so that’s a bonus

[@veissra4047]

Kind of wild Wraith got the rating he did. Personally he's down there with Freddy for me. Face one Wraith and you've seen all the killer can do, high ranked players just know how to do it more consistently. Plus anytime I get bodied by one, I always walk away feeling like that player could have done that with any killer, not that they are some insane Wraith player lol.

[@FinestFantasyVI]

Yea he's just an m1 killer. His power is more for traversal around the map, no interaction between survivor and power. He just uncloaks and m1's. And every killer does that

[@Prime-o2j]

I feel bad for freddy being this low, but 1 hour ago, they said freddy and Myers are on there to do list for reworks it's just they don't have designs yet so they can't share anything wich is very nice to hear since

[@vanillaseahorse4228]

One thing to mention about why people don’t like playing against Plague: A lot of people (myself included) have emetophobia and having to the hear the sounds of vomiting the whole game is very deeply uncomfortable. I don’t get triggered by it much when I actually play her weirdly enough, but I feel borderline nauseous after a match against her.

[@savq553]

damn..feel bad for you

[@death-dg3ns]

Love playing Blight for his oppression and winning ability. Deathslinger because... love shooting I guess. And Ghostface for his tbag ability and jumpscares. Love facing them, Nurse, good Billy and Oni. Hate Nemesis because of zombies and sound they make, and Spirit because the ability feels unfair sometimes.

[@Awesometrax]

I still contend that Knight is the least fun killer to be in chase with because more often than not it feels like there's nothing you can do, and it takes very little skill to get that value. And don't get me started on the ones who still just lock down 3 gens.

[@redjr9856]

Knight actually has a surprising learning curve to get good with him as you have to predict survivors pathing and put some for thought on where you send your guards and keep in mind which guard is next. additionally you need to be good as a powerless m1 killer when your guard is busy or using your power is a bad idea. Yes the knight can eventually exhaust a survivors options but it takes way to long to do so most of the time. BUT as a knight main I completely agree that he can be quite unfunto go against given the nature of his power and unfortunately brain dead plays can still yield results

[@Sheepy765.]

I'm surprised doctor is as high as he is, I've seen a lot of people voice how much they don't like playing against doctor.

[@David_Hypnos]

A lot of these were really weird to me…. 99% of ppl I’ve seen HATE going against Wesker so to see him ranked so high was baffling.

[@liandre9035]

most survivors hate going against every killer that doesnt play like a bot.

[@Infernallycharged]

I literally guessed pinheads placement lol

[@santiagouc2364]

Also, one of the probable main reasons people enjoy demogorgon, like my case, it's that his gameplay is not going to change and if it does, it will probably be really minor changes.

[@KaitoGillscale]

Wow, as someone who bounces between Hag, Doctor, and Huntress, these results are pretty interesting.

[@SoulEatingBrickTTV]

I love using freddy, blight, and pyramid head Same when playing survivor, im a freddy main

[@TheAbigailDee]

I'm curious what the poll results would say now with the newest round of killers... Mostly because of my bias all around for The Unknown!!!!

[@thornykettle112]

With the new bot update, i'm genuinely shocked Pinhead is so high up. My teammates just dc immediately the second they hear his radius and leave us, the remaining human survivors, with bots that never unhook and just barely do gens. So rest assured that they don't do the box either which almost always leads to the chain hunt playing off cooldown

[@Bf1zz1e]

Huntress being low and Blight being high is insane to me.

[@Kersakofu]

I'm probably one of the few that liked SM before the rework. Not for the gen camping aspect, but just certain add ons made her feel like a good M1 chase killer. I used to be a legion main, but a team with a basic knowledge of looping stomps legion, along with staying away from each other. Any killer that chases and has good interaction from both sides is good for me. Not that SM does, it was basically clown but throwing drones instead of bottles. And my hot take is I don't enjoy playing Wesker. I understand he gets some getting used to, but I don't like having to learn character specific tech to play him well. As a newbie Wesker player, it often feels like survivors have way more knowledge than me, and the sprays kill my power. I have all the characters unlocked to bounce between them, so my mastery is more general killer focus and map knowledge. Hux is in the same boat. Power feels useless with the item counterplay. Requires too much reaction time for me to enjoy making use of. And while he does have his speed up moments, a lot of things slow him down. It's pretty clear BHVR didn't want to make Nurse with cameras, and for the average player, Hux just doesn't feel great to generally play. I imagine mains have a blast.

[@Beessokoo1coo1]

My favorite killers to play: Michael myers, singularity, alien, wesker, nemesis, skull merchant (might be the last because rework), knight, Sadako. My favorite killers to face: I say almost all of them as long they don’t play so competitively or having a bad day and yeah yeah I’ve been there.

[@xandru04]

i didnt expect at all demo at first place

[@randombeing3701]

I feel as a trapper main I'd like to say that yes, he's not very fun to play But I'm happy to see 68.5% of survivors have fun when facing me, that's the reason I play as him, GGs 🗿🍷

[@vanillaseahorse4228]

Also a Trapper main. My joy in playing Trapper comes from the fact that since the odds are so stacked against me from the beginning, winning a match feels much sweeter because I felt like I really worked hard to earn it.

[@WombRaider-on5ro]

What are your thoughts on his upcoming buff? I like playing against him so I'm hoping it does him some justice

[@randombeing3701]

@@WombRaider-on5ro it feels slightly helpful, not game-changing but it's nice

[@Isaac_646]

I used to play a lot of Hillbilly. And usually the flow of games would be me getting closer to ragequitting, and the survivors slowly starting to feel bad. Now i play mostly Pig and Deathslinger. Glad to see they got good placements!

[@jada4203]

You don't gotta win every game to have fun, think of it this way, there's no real reward or incentive to doing so, unless you're grinding to iri 1.

[@gamemf5979]

Hence why I play Nurse with builds like chase or No TR, making the killer fun to play and to face

[@Gutz.star666]

4:10 ☠️☠️☠️☠️ that was the worst time for me to zone out and focus on the gameplay

[@michellerahe4853]

Honestly I love going against any type of Hillbilly. He's about if not even more rare then Twins players. I never like going against bubbas because they all play and act the same cringey way. Out of all of my hours playing dbd, I've only played against like 5 bubbas I remember vividly that actually tried to mindgame with their chainsaw which was fun when it lasted

[@RealEvilLordExdeath]

Going from this, i see it as following: Survivors want a killer that is running around never hits them without any mechanics they have ro watch out for. While killers like playing killers that arw complex and interesting.

[@mattiacicchetti4728]

My most favorite Killers to play as: Dredge, Alien, Legion, Hag and Wraith My most favorite killers to go against: Nemesis, Amanda, Dredge, Clown and Ghostface My most hated killers to go against: Wesker, Huntress, Artist, Twins and old Skull merchant

[@Halovex]

The fun of playing clown comes from enjoying his silly laughing and gasping and big goofy belly. You have to embrace the ridiculousness, I think.

[@FrostyTheNightmare]

Favorites to Play: Dredge, Hux, Nemisis Factories to Face: Myers, Ghostface, Dredge

[@jameskelso2435]

I don't understand hag. I thought the jumpscare happened and then they teleport but now nothing jumps up and they just teleport and insta hit. Also crouching doesn't work anymore?

[@jojojojojojojojojojojojo4181]

Those are addons

[@angi3natorTTV]

Personnally I play a lot as Dredge, Myers, Ghosty, and I used to play as Trickster a lot and Hag - I wish i went against Drege, trickster, and hag more

[@adrianmalinowski1073]

Remove overheating or make it happen only when revving near hook. He is already punished a lot for using his power.

[@elionnoa9957]

Trapper is the funnest killer in the game if you ask me. There is something just so satasfying about him and his pkaystyle

[@ivanleonov4579]

New skull merchant is actually super fun

[@stewartlaird4571]

Favourite to play: Executioner, Onryo, Nemesis Favorite to face: Xenomorph, Demogorgon, Trapper

[@novapolatin2314]

No hey everyone? 😢

[@nathan3252]

Survivors love blood point pinatas. You do not have to do much, the killer is easily bullied, and everyone walks away a winner except for the killer who loses bloodpoints.

[@justinmcleod4130]

I love playing as Freddy bc it’s one of my most favorite horror movies. He’s not good but I think it’s fun😂. Just hoping for Robert one day

[@eliasar5051]

I used to like to play as Legion the most, only followed by a Ghostface by a tiny margin. Not anymore, as playing Legion right now is just so bad and frustrating experience that began to tilt me beyond reason. So now, I have become an Artist enjoyer, hoping to return to my (probably former) main sometime in future patches. Why I´m saying all this? Because in my opinion, it is not surprising that quite a lot of people seem to suddenly somewhat like to play against Legion, getting used to them and realizing how weak and often powerless they really are.

[@Trident_Gaming03]

Out of curiosity, how many votes went into these stats?

[@Idyliss]

Believe it or not😂 Favorite killers to play: Clown, Knight, Deathslinger Favorites to face: Billy, Oni, Dredge

[@Sceneric_]

As a Billy main, I approve of this thumbnail

[@J-zero00]

This comment, right here officer

[@kore2202]

oh

[@RaffoPhantom]

I honestly expected Huntress to be in the top 3 along with Wesker and either Demo or Spirit

[@qwerbyy]

I'm honestly shocked pyramid head isn't in the bottom 10, personally I think he's abhorrent to play against. Torment allows you to tunnel someone out the game really easily since you never have to worry about any endurance and his ability to cancel rites into M1 makes it so you get zoned into a hit in so many scenarios its just boring. Additionally its multi hit so you cant body block or unhook infront of him. Thematically he's awesome though so maybe theres some bias

[@AChocolateCow1]

I’ll be honest as someone who plays casually, while also being a Nemesis main, I’m shocked how high the nemesis is on the list.

[@D2-Breakneck]

time to find out which killer is the most popular and make it my whole personality

[@GodKingIssei]

Fun to play: Trickster as he has insane skill ceiling with 2 specific blade addons, Legion, Xenomorph Huntress Fun to play against: Pig, Huntress, Hillbilly, Cenobite, Nurse if it's not some hacker like top tier while you play alone as survivor.

[@FinestFantasyVI]

Oh is it the Trick blades and the diamond cufflinks? My fav combo. And highly agreed on the skill ceiling. Major respect for high tier Tricksters

[@GodKingIssei]

@@FinestFantasyVI No, Edge of Revival Album or Trick blades, both combined or added alone give you completely new ways to play with knives, the skill ceiling is possibly the highest out of all killers honestly.

[@FinestFantasyVI]

@@GodKingIssei I never used Edge of Revival much. Interesting combo idea
