10 Video Game Enemies We Hate More Than The Final Boss

The Marauders were an interesting idea for a Doom enemy. Lore-wise, they're sick as hell, being traitorous Night Sentinels who turned against the order to serve the Khan Makyr. Making the Marauders suped-up demon knights with the exact same training as the Doom Slayer. Awesome idea: print it, run it, and put it on a billboard.

Gameplay-wise, it's also an interesting challenge for the devs, since this makes the Marauders into essentially duels for the Doom Slayer, having to fight a guy who knows how to fight back. Just a shame that this is where the execution trips up.

Everyone who has played Doom Eternal hates these damn things. The reaction time demanded of the player is too tight compared to how devastating the consequences for missing it are, the Marauder zips across the screen and can only be hurt at certain times. It also has attacks that can counter almost every tactic you employ, and getting hit once, especially on the higher difficulties, tears valleys off of your health. 

The Marauder was a neat idea, but in execution it was just too much, and led to the Marauder overshadowing the Khan Makyr herself for the most hateable thing in this entire game.
