Would you rather die to Nicki Minaj or Homelander? Ranking Call of Duty’s worst operator skins to get eliminated by

Fast-paced multiplayer games with respawn enabled are great since you can hop right back in after being eliminated. But to pretend that every death feels the same would be a lie. Dying to certain skins in Call of Duty can be an infuriating experience when compared to others, for a variety of reasons. Some Warzone or Black Ops 6 collab skins are awesome, and they just kind of make sense that you die to them, like Michael Myers from Halloween, Ghostface from Scream, or Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My favorite is Art the Clown from Terrorizer. But for as many badass skins that there are in CoD, there are even more that piss me off to no end when I die to them. If you've played CoD in the past few years, you know exactly what I'm talking about, too.

As time goes on, CoD moves further and further away from the realistic military origins it began with while adding sillier and sillier skins with each passing update. I normally don't have an issue with that, because it's fun and it supports further game development.

But some skins don't deserve my apathy.
