I'm pretty surprised that Sangria didn't even catch 6th place as almost everyone considers her a nerf-desserving uncounterable hunter. Also, Grace not being first place is a big twist.

[@Biscuitio]

Grace is not even that good, I’m surprised she’s even in the top 5. She’s so fun to kite against.

[@axelleenan3801]

Having BW, Opera Singer, Disciple, Wax Artist and Nightmare on a game is unfair to say that Grace is bad to play against

[@kirariichan09]

@@Biscuitio mid-mammoths keeping banning Grace despite having several characters that can counter her + flywheel is... While we have NW or Opera singer where NW is countered by a few survs, Opera singer is just too fast that even perfumer has trouble against her

Naiad is easy to deal with, it's just that her abilities seemed frustrating at first

[@StelleCaelus]

I think what’s interesting about the top hated is that some are not meta. I think they’re more hated than someone like dream witch because they’re more common to find. Probably the reason why bonbon is higher than a lot of other hunters is because he’s uncommon to encounter and you have to change your kiting strategy a lot.

[@lyl_es9421]

and his camping strength is just high up there good lord

[@assiaelmabrouki5552]

I rarely ever rescue against BonBon he's too scary 😂

[@garukong.]

bonbon just makes you too lazy to rescue because even seeing his 9839093 bombs and red lines on the ground is just ugh...it feels like you're constantly getting blown up in the face without rest

[@HarrisonTong-jh2rk]

I'm surprised that Photographer wasn't on here, everyone hates him for his 3/4 normal hit but I definitely agree with all of these on this list, especially night watch and breaking wheel

[@zombeeJack]

Joseph is easy tho??? And fun to go against. He is literally just a luck depended m1 killer. If you can't go against him you just bad. He has nothing to assist him in chase besides a blink so of you get to the point in match where he is annoying to go against(everyone injured) you have no one to blame other than yourself. Im saying this as both Joseph main and survivor who wishes I see more photo in the wild.

I know a lot of people keep mentioning Sangria, but if I recall, she wasn't an option in the poll because she was too new at the time. Even if she was an option, she is still too new for people to formulate a proper opinion on her, so who knows, maybe on the next poll that will change! (I still don't really know how I feel about her)

[@alex_rose3930]

Still there's a lot of people (a couple of content creators among em) that are sure that even with that in mind she should be nerfed

[@MsPokemonqueen]

Man, every time I see someone say sangria needs a Nerf clearly has never played her she really doesn’t her ONLY ABILITY is to chase every other hunter gets a slight extra ability she DOESNT yea she’s fast but THATS HER ONLY THING take that away and she becomes the weakest hunter in game and with how broken cypher rush as she would become unplayable and that’s not fair to her mains

[@felipelima7267]

@@MsPokemonqueen the thing about her is that she has no CD on her dash, even when she gets stunned, and the tops sangria's players in Asia have 100% win rate with her, so she's kinda op

[@MsPokemonqueen]

@@felipelima7267 the skill level between Asia and NA/EU is vastly different and focusing only on win rate is a flawed counterargument, my idea of OP would be Alva who can down all 4 survs at once AND can alter the game flow and counter Chiper rush Sangria doesn’t have that same kind of level of control YES she is very Fast but that is her INTENDED PURPOSE she also requires Skill and a bit of luck to play but she is by no means an Op meta hunter that is an insta win like everyone is saying!

im honestly surprised over naiad being so high xD i'd expect her to be on maybe 5 or 4th place, personally i find her quite easy to kite since you just gotta transition... bonbon being so high was expected though!! no one likes him!!

[@BBlackPhoenix]

Ha! Don't see much of BonBon though. He isn't on everyone's need to play list!

[@Biscuitio]

Naiad is one of my fav hunters to kite since there’s a lot of brain play that happens during it and that’s my favorite part about chases, the ‘mindgames’

[@lazynaibidv]

@@BBlackPhoenix true!! he's not that popular!!

[@saraheehee5875]

I'm not surprised at all. i hate her so much simply cause i see her in every second match and it makes the game boring. also, her pee puddles last for a little too long for my taste.

[@assiaelmabrouki5552]

He was so expected. The most frustrating hunter imo

[@aki_7778]

I used to be Naiad #1 hater but compared to Nightwatch and Sangria she's way more easy to counter. Great video btw! The solution to hunters you hate is learning how to counter them. I usually try to play them to understand their point of view

[@assiaelmabrouki5552]

Naiad is actually rather easy to deal with! Would rather go against her than Bonbon lol

[@weiyunx]

Night watch easy to counter what

[@assiaelmabrouki5552]

@@weiyunx yes there is actually counterplay to Night Watch but when he was early none was familiar with him at all so he was hard

[@radioedwaves]

@@weiyunx i dont mind kiting nightwatch, i just think its way better banning him if im with randoms since i know dang well a lot of them will have trouble containing him (considering the fact most bans i get are naiads, it should explain how questionable my teammates can be)

[@Lumiere20]

Not me throwing all the knowledge ive learned on this video the moment i see a hunter chasing me in game

[@mxmx9914]

I used to be Naiad’s #1 hater but after maining Ento I have no problem kiting her. I’m surprised Sangria isnt here. Her skill cool time is short, her attack recovery is short and its really easy for her to catch up to survivors which makes transition kiting a pain 😭.

[@lukastores4788]

There’s another problem, and it’s why I hate her, she can cancel her dash cool down in two different ways meaning she basically always can use her abilities, plus because she can cancel cool-downs, she basically has her first presence ability at the start of the game, not to mention because of how good her kit is her presence abilities are actually unnecessary for her

[@callmefat]

Im surprised that Ann or even clerk was in the top 5

[@SapphireYuna]

Can't believe Bonbon is 1st lol like said in the video transition kiting easily counters him. Transition kiting is the strong suit for most meta survivors so I'd put those above the hunters who struggle against it. That's just me tho everyone has their preferences but for me the only two hunters I struggle against is Naiad and NW (at full presence, I'm alright with first kite)

[@evelynzhang8657]

You can kite bonbon really well (in low tiers) high areas such as the slides in the carnival map (i forgot the name) since he can’t really throw the bombs that high and if he comes up you can just slide down and transition

[@pennytrui1149]

Can't believe bloody queen didn't make the list a high tier bloody queen is almost impossible to kite. If the mirror spawns right next to you just expect to be hit

[@mayura7210]

Go through the mirror the moment she enters the attack animation, in other words, when she's gonna hit you It's a little hard sometimes bc you have to be fast and always see the mirror but that's how you dodge it

[@assiaelmabrouki5552]

Yes BQ can be quite challenging too

[@soapyidv]

Wow, I love going against night watch and naiad! But I guess I hold some bias considering I main the two, so I'm just that much familiar with how they work.

[@beta_6467]

Being a Naiad main helped me know how to kite her, I really recommend you doing that.

[@lissy.f03]

After cleaning out my phone and finally having enough storage to play again after a year I’m shocked by some of these new hunters

[@goldenhielitosv2176]

I personally would have put undead, he is a counter to almost every type of survivor, he is a counter to antiqu, ench, and in a certain way to the prospector, he is a counter to rescuers and supports such as cowboy, batter or forward and he is a counter to the decoders with the dash and teleport, not to mention that he has a stun that he can use 2 times in a row and cause damage and can break pallets with the basic hit

[@trollonrgaming5904]

[@VissyTrashy]

I main Nightmare and play him with teleport, it usually brings funny and pretty chaotic matches for both sides, but i really feel like Nightmare deserves a buff like the Little Girl one, i think it would be good if he could slide a little bit when doing attacks because he usually gets stuck with rocket chairs, boxes, stones, etc, playing him in Arms Factory and Leo's Memory is something i'd never wish to anyone

[@1Robkip]

Yeah, playing on maps with the walls having bits that stick out and stuff is terrible. On the other hand though, if I'm playing around a wall that's flat, I can get the dive attack to slide against the wall and then around it to hit a survivor. Reminds me of the DBD Blight tricks where you slide against walls, except with WAYY less skill required. Lakeside is a map I'm not fond of when playing Nightmare, but Arms is fine for me since most survs don't utilize the kiting areas well when I play.

[@bolotiart]

he does not need a buff 💀

[@Chaos-ux2sz]

I really think he should get a short speed boost after teleporting to a crow

[@6BloodyRoad9]

In the last couple of seasons every hunter is a pain to go against.

[@onemanoneperpes1119]

He did forget Night Watch also has a big hitbox. When I first used him I got a bunch of terror shocks from his hit box. Flywheel does help with that but I always forget when I play survivor ageinst him (as I also main him ) that I have flywheel so i get clapped hard.

[@OwzeDaMyth]

I had to go against Night watch and Guard-26 and I was lucky guy. I managed to get put in a rocket chair, and when I was trying to get away, night watch used their pull to slow me down, thankfully, little girl saved me with a flare gun and after a few seconds from running away from Night watch, they gave up. I managed to kite both of them for 3.9 minutes/234 secs. I’m so proud of myself because I think that’s the longest I’ve kited before

[@Whore97292]

Galatea is way harder to kite than guard imo. Her statues can change the direction of the surf, even more difficult to dodge some statues when she is fully stacked. Also her control of cipher machines is so annoying

[@H.M._]

Bro she’s so ez to kite un gotta be kidding 💀

[@TexopIDV]

Gelatea is the hardest hunter to kite. Overall, she counters tightkiting and really hard to transition against her, and with peaper looping isn't an option as for bonnon 2 story building are the key

[@monomimoon]

It's probably just me when I play her but I find her statues hard to aim

[@AC-dj2nn]

[@aki_7778]

Also against a bonbon you can just sell and get a tie, with sculptor you can't because cipher control

[@H0llowAsMr]

It's easy to hit a survivor when they are looping a pallet when using night watch. When you use the vacuum skill, most of the time they'll drop the pallet but by then you can hit even before the vacuum skill ends. Hope this made sense and I'm only talking with experience.

[@shadowmonarch008]

As a night watch i can agree with that but if we have the wind power bar and use his speed thing we can jump over the pallet so i guess make it easy to catch the survive tbh i main him like 5 week and just know about it today went i first play him i dont understand how to use it at first but ya learn step by step is good and now im happy that im very comfortable while using him 😊😊😊

I'll say that apart from that, we know how much multitasking takes to play her. So when we get outsmart is like" Jesus, that was impressive" so yeah her matches tend to be more fun because they are so dynamic xD

[@adefenselessnoob]

yes. The reason she’s banned in tourney is because she’s a 4K hunter and you need to avoid 4ks in tournaments because they give the other team a point bonus. But when she’s not 4king, she’s not too hard to 3-escape and her play style is very unique and the map control forces all survivors to work together and ‘contribute’ in some way instead of just deciding the whole match( kiting their leech, deleeching)-which I’m guessing for many players, makes her very tricky but fun to play against.

i agree with this list somewhat, however i would change some places. firstly, i wouldnt put naiad in the list at all. while shes easy to learn and quite op, shes also easy to counter. i know that a lot of people hate her though, and i can see why. still, id put her lower in my opinion, so she wouldnt be in the list at all. bonbon is definitely number one that is something i agree with. rest of the list would go with ithaqua, disciple, wax artist and breaking wheel. ann being here might surprise some people but hear me out. shes similar to wax artist but easier to use in my opinion. her and wax artist are hunters who rely on stunning survivors to give hits, which i call, the easy way out. disciple's cats might be easy to dodge but unlike wax artist there isnt much aiming needed when playing her, also once you have the cat on someone, she just cannot be countered as easy as wax artist, since she can also cancel abilities. also, i would place breaking wheel on number one spot only if they were easy to use. for a hunter to be considered op and hated the most, they have to be easy to master and strong enough to guarantee a tie. since polun isnt easy compared to others, theyre still on the list for me, but would stay at the very bottom. though i think polun mains are absolutely terrifying. then, why isnt naiad here, if shes easy to learn and also op? because unlike others, shes quite easy to counter with transition kiting. i dont think shes as much of a nightmare like the rest, shes more like mary or geisha; easy to use but easy to counter. this might seem similar to what i said about ann but a naiad player has to give hits with the water otherwise theyre only left with basic attacks, meanwhile ann's cats can stun survivors and lock their abilities rather giving direct hits with them. does that make sense...? well its 6 am and i got bored so i wanted to share my opinion lol.
