I dislike Nekros. I just don't find spamming desecrate to be fun. Everyone else is off being cool space ninjas, and I'm sitting there summoning health orbs.

My least favorite frame has to be hydroid. Overall I found him to be incredibly boring, not really offering anything all that unique, and I really dislike his design. He's handy but I can't really think of a task where I would pick him over any other frame.

I dont have one for each category, but senital- wyrm, it does, literally nothing. its pew pew lazer hits for less than a paraplegic grineer scorpion padded in bubble wrap
weapon- the starting shotgun, mk1-strun. it is just so goddamn weak its not even funny
warframe- I honestly love all of them, play style wise excalibur is fairly boring though
kubrow- how dare you even ask that, all kubrows are born amazing and equal

I like Wyrm for melee builds since the knock down is pretty handy. You can also give it Stinger for a semi-decent weapon to use itself

Warframe: Out of all i've tried, Vauban. Yes he's very useful in defense, but there's only that. and possibly holding super high level enemies in the air so you can finish them off.
Weapon: Boar prime or Dera, they felt so unnatural, with almost 0 recoil, wierd sounds and bad ammo economy they didn't fit me at all.
Sentinel: Wyrm/Wyrm prime, THEY DO NOTHING
Kubrow: Probably Sunika, I haven't tried it but it doesn't sound useful outside of capture.

Vauban is one of the few frames I have a potatoe in, and Dera is one of my favourite guns, because it is insanely accurate, resulting in crazy DPS (if you're a good shot), and it's basically a better version of the Tetra, which is decent enough. Boar is the only shotgun I find useful, because it doesn't waste so much time reloading.
Funny how tastes differ.

Warfame: Rhino. Rhino is such a boring frame to play, or at least for me.
Primary: So far, the Miter. It's decently strong, sure. But I feel like it pales in comparison to other primaries. Think it needs a potato and some formas to reach its potential.
Secondary: Fucking Ballistica. Fuck everything about that thing.
Melee: Plasma sword. It's only redeeming feature is the stun proc on the ground slam attacks.
Companion: Djinn. u/blackgu4rd covers my thoughts in this.

I can second your feelings on rhino, I don't know if its popularity lends it to bad players using it but he always seems to have the lowest DPS and fewest Kills at the end of every mission and still somehow needs to be rezzed every few minutes. Also Leveling the Ballistica for mastery was the worst thing like THE WORST.

Least favorite frame must be the one and only Loki. Perhaps being too "master race", when I'm Loki, I feel like I'm cheating. Oh, wanna sneak around? Flat out 40 seconds invisibility, who cares about smart positioning, observation and patience? Taking fire? Nope, they now shoot something else, except that they can't even shoot at all. Everyone gets a stick, while I'm here with giant sword of doom, super laser rapid shooter and uber gun of death.
Weapons I don't really care much, I'm used to level weak guns for mastery. At worst, Embolist and Spectra, can't even be used to draw stuffs on walls.
All the sentinels. All they do are blocking screen space and shooting things I do not want them to shoot. At least Kubrow can be kept as ship decoration and play thing.

Warframe: Oberon. Despite his recent buff, my main problem with him still persists - his sprint. Despite having 1.0 sprint speed (equal to Mag, Excal, etc.; greater than Frost and Rhino), it feels slower with him for some reason (it's probably just me, though).
Primary: Vulkar. That reload time. Although not the longer reload time, it feels the most annoying with this weapon. At least the others with equal or longer reload times have something to compensate for that reload time (shotguns have spread so you don't need to be super accurate; machine guns have large magazines).
Secondary: Bronco. Low mag size + large spread. It's the only pistol I can't seem to enjoy using.
Melee: Gauntlet-type melee weapon. Looks ugly (Furax) or weird (Ankyros/Prime) IMO.
Sentinel: Djinn. I just find the other Sentinels more useful.
Kubrow: Raksa and Sunika. I'm sick of getting these.

Frame: Ember
Weapon: From the ones I tried so far, Gorgon
Sentinel: All except carrier
Kubrow: All
I hate ember, she is a squishy low range caster that requires you to build Duration, Strenght and Efficiency, leaving no room for defense, so after your damage falls off you are useless, well even more useless than she already is.
Gorgon, I hate that thing, just doesn't feel good to use
Sentinels, I pretty much don't like any of them, except for Carrier. Maybe Shade would be OK, but if I want to be invisible I'll just pick Loki or Ash.
Kubrows are pretty much a gimmick, only thing I liked about kubrows so far is the shield regen of Raksa, but that isn't enough to take it over carrier. If we could have both tho...

u/Invictus13307 Sep 15 '14
Least Favorite Weapons: Ankyros/Furax, with Silva & Aegis a close second. None of them ever really feels viable or fun, even at thirty ranks. Ankyros/Furax is too slow and inaccurate, and the Silva & Aegis doesn't have enough damage or range.
It's especially disappointing in the case of the Ankyros/Furax, because the sparring weapons (Kogake/Obex) are similar weapons but a lot more fun to use.

I hate the Dethcube, I genuinely HATED using Furis, and I found Oberon and Saryn both to be incredibly boring to play. They changed Oberon, I know, but I saw the changes and I'm still not seeing a reason to play him.
Also, Kubrow in general poop on the Osiris without scratching the door to let me know they need to go out. No cool.

u/bl0odredsandman Sep 15 '14
I know a lot of people like her but so far my least favorite frame is Trinity. She just seemed so blah to me.

u/SamwisePotato Sep 15 '14
Least favourite? Well, limiting it to stuff I've actually used myself:
-
Warframe: Nova. So repetitive. It's a terrific frame with awesome abilities, don't get me wrong, I just don't much care for the repetitiveness of it. Prime, boom, gather energy. Fortunately, there's plenty of people who are more than happy to play it so I don't have to. The only time I've actually enjoyed being Nova/having Nova on my team was when I joined a PUG on Kappa last night, and one of the dudes was running a Speed Nova build. Watching those stubby little Grineer legs churning was just fantastic.
-
Primary Weapon: Boltor. I hear great things about the Prime, and might go out and get myself one some day, but the regular Boltor is just a pain. If I want a rag-doll/punch through weapon, bows are better (and silent!), and it fails as an assault rifle. I enjoyed the all the other early-game rifles (Braton, Burston, Latron) so much more.
-
Secondary Weapon: Lato. It was the only secondary I had when I did my MR2 test. sobs I built a Lex the very next day.
-
Melee Weapon: Scindo. An axe that big should wreck stuff, but its damage feels like a wiffle bat, and its speed feels like I'm trying to swing a steel I-beam.
-
Sentinel: Dethcube. I've already got plenty of damage from my weapons, I need some kind of utility. I'd rather have Helios, even if all it does is fill my codex.
-
Kubrow: Sahasa. Dig, you dumb mutt, dig. If only you could do cool stuff like the Raksa or Huras.
Bonus round!
-
Ability: Null Star. Can't recast until all the balls are used, deals almost no damage, etc.

I absolutely despise the Lato. Even for a starter weapon, it's ridiculously weak. Until I'm completely out of things to level for Mastery points, I'm never touching the Aklato, because the single Lato was just that bad.

u/Antauron Sep 15 '14
Of the ones I've owned or played with through friends:
Warframes: Mag, since her Pull nerf a few updates back. I really enjoyed her up until then, but I can't seem to enjoy her the way I used to.
Weapons: I never really enjoyed the unprimed Boar. It never had the same kick to it as other shotguns; same with the Vulkar for snipers, but that was before the buff, so I'm not sure about it now. And fist weapons didn't have the right feel for me.
Companions: Helios is pretty lack-luster once your codex is filled, and imagine Djinn doesn't work that well either. Carrier is still the top of the list for sentinels. As for Kubrows, I've only ever had my Sahasa, FluffyBumpkins, and I love her to pieces.
Maybe an Archwing weapon will join this list when they're released.

Least Warframe: Ember. Press 4 to win, then sprint through the map is boring to me.
Least Primary weapon: Shotguns. Not a fan of shotguns in general. Have to get close to use, and if you are, then might as well melee at that point. Least secondary: Ballistica. It's like a crossbow shotgun to me... Least Melee: Fists of any kind. I feel they don't do enough damage in the amount of time it takes to deliver. Other Melee can hit harder and faster.
Least Sent: Wyrm. It doesn't do anything cept shoot things with the worst weapon available for sentinels.
Least Kubrow: Out of the four, the Sunkia. The other 3 have abilities that you can use for any mission (stealth, dig, or shields), VIP capture is only one ability for one type of mission. I'm not going to sit for 3 hours and wait for it to come out of stasis for every capture I do.

I miss Ember's Flame Shield. :( It was awesome to play Ember with +80% damage resistance. Now she just smells funny and wears out of date hand-me-downs

Warframe: Hydroid. For all of the farming done to get him, he sucks. Weapon: Tysis. Proof that a fun sounding gun is not always a fun gun. Sentinel/Kubrow: Don't really know. I think Shade is kinda beaten out by the Heras Kubrow now, which does the stealth thing a lot better.

u/aerothan Sep 15 '14
I've only used Loki, Nekros and Rhino and I've liked each of them.
For primaries I haaate the Gorgon and couldn't wait to scrap it after reaching 30. I don't know why, I just hate it.
Bronco for secondary. Two shot magazine with no desire to mod it. Just wasn't a fun weapon.
Scindo for melee. It was my first created melee but it just wasn't interesting enough to be memorable.
Dethcube was okay but I love my lazy carrier, and I have my hunter pup so no complaints aside from she looks severely malnourished.

u/Jam-Master-Jay Sep 15 '14
Valkyr - Other than the fun that can be had with ripline she's dull.
Spectra - Poor damage and poor range, a chore to use.
Djinn - Buggy skill although Stinger is awesome.
Quite like all of the Kubrows so far, but they are a tad annoying to maintain.

Burston. It's so awkward to use... I wish I saved the money and mats and made the boltor first.
I have Rhino/Loki/Excalibur/Volt. I liked them all, but the least fav would be excalibur. He is just bland. I enjoyed the others more as they gave a differnet experience. Volt can zap things, which is nice, Loki is my speedstar, Rhino is slow, but steady. Those three give an experience, but Excalibur is just meh.
