Who are your favorite survivors and why?

[Waloogi]

With L4D3 possibly on the way I want to ask all of you other players who your current favorite characters are, and why? Here's my top 8.

1. Francis
Francis may come over as an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to most people, but after you played the L4D1 campaigns for a while you will notice he actually has a really cool personality. While still being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sometimes he usually is a funny character, often saying that he hates something. Gameplay wise you can put him in any situation with any weapons and it'd fit perfectly, he also has a really cool leather jacket.
2. Nick
Nick may also be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ most of the time but again if you played enough campaigns with Nick you'll notice that he is the only normal person from the L4D2 campaigns. (I'll get to that later) He also seems like the perfect guy for a zombie apocalypse as he would perfectly fit into AMC's the walking dead as another Merle Dixon, and being a gambler he always trys his best to get what he wants.
3. Louis
Louis loves pills alright? That's one thing that you need to know about him before you go into the L4D1 campaigns. About his personality, he is most likely to die first without a group since in alot of the shorts for L4D1 he runs away from the group and runs head first into danger. But here's another fun part about Louis: Louis. Loves. Videogames. And that's not just me saying that, Louis plays valve games such as Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike! Gameplay wise he is not so fun to play for me as he doesn't seem much like a badass, and I like to be badass alright? Just whenever I have to play as Louis I'll play more careful and take more pills.
4. Ellis
Ellis is a chill dude alright, if he was a teacher the only thing he'd be teaching you is to kill all sons of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, he probably isn't smart enough to know what 1 + 1 is anyways. While always forgetting the infected names (Jokey - Headhumper) he sure can ramble alot about his life before the apocalypse. Always telling storys about his buddy Keith who is literally immortal (Gaben confirmed that) but probably not immune, if you ever see a zombie Keith..... welp, you're dead that's all I can see. But we aren't here for keith right? Back to Ellis - so where was I? Well let's get to the only bad thing about this redneck, his personality is a little weird..... often says that he likes one this but when they reach that then he starts hating it, that's about all the bad things I can think about right now.
5. Bill
Bill is here and you won't get rid of him fast, why? Here's why: Bill being a military veteran isn't going to go down from a few weak zombies. And he is probably the most badass character you'll ever find in a zombie game. Sacrificing himself for his group to help them survive, Bill isn't scared of a few lousy tanks, unlike Louis. There isn't really much to say about Bill other than that he is badass really, he's also quite the nice guy.
6. Rochelle
Rochelle over Zoey is a suprise right? But why is she here? Well, she was one of the best characters for a while until valve shut her mouth, if they wouldn't have removed all her voice lines, she'd be higher up but here's what's good about her. Rochelle is the kind of person that'd help you if you're getting bullied in school, but instead of the bullies being some braindead fisheads, the bullies are mutated flesh eating monsters, no offense to any zombies out there. Rochelle nowadays isn't like she used to be so I can't ramble on about how great she WAS, but thankfully there are mods to give her her old voice lines back.
7. Zoey
Zoey way down here may come as a suprise just like Rochelle being on spot 6, but I have my reasons are here they come. So Zoey is a college gamer girl as I often see her described as. She lost both of her parents to the infection wich brings a tear to everyone's eye, but it's even worse seeing Zoey die when a noob plays as her, am I right?
8. Coach
Coach is this low for a reason, the only character traits he has is that he usually explains the story and tells everybody how much he loves cheeseburgers and chocolate, but that's about it. He's badass though, often times being the guy with the chainsaw.

Did you like the list? What are your favorite characters of L4D1&2? I'd love to know! But remember, these are my opinions. If you are just here to get salty at me then please shut down your computer and go outside, we don't need you here.

Nick is my all-time favorite survivor in the Left 4 Dead games. Prior to playing Left 4 Dead 2, I think his sarcastic, grumpy personality resonates very well with me, so I wanted to pick him from the start. And it paid off. Many of his lines make me laugh, and I like his tone when he complains or makes sarcastic remarks ("Great, we crash land in front of a village that hates everyone."). I think it's even funnier when other survivors notice his complaints and tease him for it (like Coach's "Nick, you picked a bad day to wear your suit" just before the sewer or Rochelle's "Hey Nick. Splash fight?" in the sewer in the Passing). I like Nick's relationship with Ellis, with Nick constantly putting down Ellis, but Ellis doesn't really care that much (The Passing: Ellis: We should get tatoos that say bros! Nick: I'm going to get a tattoo that says No.) Overall, I enjoy Nick's attitude and how he sometimes even sounds really nice at points, so he's not a complete jerk to everyone.

For me is Ellis,maybe sometimes he dumb but he isn't stupid,he got some good ideas,like on the mall with the car,and he can know 1+1=2,maybe he got some huge story's that can be annoying,but l think it's cool to be like him on Zombie Apocalypse... :)

[THE LORD SUPER DEMON GOD 1OOOOO]

The other survivors think that Ellis is sometimes care less and a bit not realistic,but l think they should let Ellis be himself :)

[LeftyGemsMagpie]

Ellis is the best. He also likes video games too. He says "Dude, this is just like Team Fortress!" I also like the interaction between him and Nick. I think it's the most prominent between any two survivors? In fact, people ship Ellis and Nick for reasons I will not comprehend. He also has Keith stories, which help to set him apart from other survivors.

I did play Ellis modded at first, so I heard his voice only, but the original character grew on me. I also looked up Eric Ladin, his voice actor, and he's a pretty talented dude.

I like all survivors ultimately, but I think the original four are a bit overrated and I like the second four better.

Francis,Nick,Ellis,Bill,Louis.All of them for their voicelines and attitude.

[Misuune]

Ellis talks about Team Fortress, Louis talks about being Gordon Freeman...
Zoey is punished by Francis for friendly fire screaming ZOOEEEYYYY.

[Reislc]

Nick. Because he's a pessimistic psychotic hack. Like me.

How is Nick psychotic? Sorry but I really want to know.

[Zoey.]

Left 4 Dead: Francis because he calls Bill a "helpless old man"

Left 4 Dead 2: Coach because "get your as$ movin Nick" and "MOTHERF-"

[Vanessa]

I like Zoey because she's believable. The game doesn't fellate her with all "Look what a STRONG FEMALE character she is!" She's not the silent, aloof type. She jokes, she snickers around, she comes across as a survivor and not a token sexy woman for grill gamers to play.

In L4D2, I like Ellis for precisely the opposite reason; he's a lovable, dorky hayseed with loads of memorable lines and it really fits the theme of the game. Also I want to motorboat his pecs.

It can be informed through his dialogue - while healing, he'll say he's done it before... f he kills the wedding witch in the Passing he'll say it isn't easy to get blood from a wedding dress... in Swamp Fever he states that he knows that brains come out of a suit but swamp water doesn't... he'll casually tell greviously-wounded allies that he's seen worse before, he'll mutter something about bringing back some good memories when he picks up a crowbar or an axe...

It's subtle, but it all points to one thing: Nick has done and seen some proper f***ed up things in his life.

Well then, how is Nick like the person that commented that?

L4D3 will never come out unless officially confirmed by Valve. No amount of wishful thinking or begging is going to change anything. Are you seriously going to make these topics that have been written before hundreds of times? By the way, listing down and explaining your interest for every survivor is useless and stupid.
