There being basically no way to counter Killer Instinct, combined with Legion's obnoxious ability, makes him the worst (and most annoying). Krasue is up there too, especially since most of her players cheese with Bamboozle and Dissolution to further shut down counterplay. Singulairty wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take 5 days to get the EMP.
Requires swf level coordination to counter as survivor, feels absolutely annoying to go up against swfs as krasue.
But if xenomorph were on this list he'd be #1 for me. The turrets are either doing nothing with no clear way to place them, or they become uncounterable safe zones
Krasue has by far the worst power design I’ve seen since old legion. Auto aim into a way too forgiving dash in the head form. No counterplay when spamming her headlong flight. It’s always miserable.
Knight for sure, and that's because at least there is a certain amount of counterplay to the other killers. While Knight isn't oppressively strong, there are so many scenarios, especially against a decent Knight player, that are just lose-lose and you will always get hit no matter what you do, and your only play is to just do whatever you can to delay the hit by just 2 more seconds. Things like faking the window against a guard is useful in certain scenarios where the killer is expecting you to vault to the other side of the window, but not only is this scenario not super common, but this also essentially just becomes a 50/50, but your movement after the fake is extremely limited because any direction in a 60 degree angle will lead you straight into the guard.
Krasue has the counterplay of bodyblocking, which I like when survivors are encouraged to play as a team, the issue is that it's much easier to do so as a SWF. But at least it exists, and when I play against her I do my best to fill in that role for my random teammates.
Legion I honestly feel is fine on their own, the issue is when you add Iri Button into the mix. Iri Button Legions are the most braindead killers on the planet, often with Bamboozle or End Fury as well to make sure they don't have to think because there is zero counterplay. One of the most problematic addons imo

Also for Knight they removed the counterplay of pre-dropping a pallet against a guard.
For me its knight just because its literally just gameless, its an AI that follows you and makes annoying sounds that denies loops and pallet stuns, and really anything except exhaustion perks, even if knight is worse now than he was its just not a good experience to face him ever.
I don't actually dislike going against Singularity and I understand why it had to be done, but the speed at getting an EMP compared to how fast Singularity can repod/tag makes it such a slog.
Artist should be here imo, going against a mediocre-good one feels terrible.
Aside from that, Spirit is a literal free injury every 9 seconds pair that with the fact that as long as you have average hearing skills she's super easy to play and easier to win with. Also there is a literal delay for when her counterplay activates, (Directional audio) which makes playing short loops impossible.
Knight 100% but thats coming from the fact that he has so much counterplay that works against him that he becomes a glorified M1 killer with a couple of screaming buddies.
My answer isn't in the poll, but The Ghost Face. His reveal mechanic with his Night Shroud power is super inconsistent. I often find myself having staring contests with this Killer to try and reveal him only to get exposed and die anyway…

The reveal mechanic has been tweaked a lot to make it more difficult.
Surprising to see krasue has a lot of votes, her counterplay is more than just bodyblocking, it is so interesting and has so much depth yet people don't take the time to learn it on either side. Krasue can do many things such as counter players counterplay/help alleviate against it vice versa and there are so many interesting parts about her, I recently saw a bit of the hens lawless tourney (rarely watch him, I don't think he is all of comp dbd before you ask) and a player played as krasue awfully and same goes for players against her. They of course played better than I can but the strats and techs used could def use much work, they didn't use half her kit and survivors were rightfully awful.
Trapper has the most boring counter-play out of the choices although that doesn't mean he's boring to verse.

From the list provided my vote is for Krause because her counterplay is bodyblocking, much easier for a SWF to coordinate that then it is for soloq
Knight Is a close second for me.
Legion. He is just so boring. Mend, mend, mend, mend…
Unknown should also be on the list IMO. Any killer where a counter is to run towards the m1, is awful.
