What is the ONE character you just can't play

I'm pretty much a tank player so I've not really branched out to playing other alts, I do love my lvl 50 stalker Cap'n Piranha though. I'd say MM's are the one alt I just can't get the hang of... Pets seem to run all over the place aggroing everything ending with me face down on the ground.
Stalkers, although I feel like I haven't given it a fair chance, since I only got up to about level 5, then went on to another alt and ended up deleting the stalker.
Haven't gotten very far on a Tanker either, although I just haven't had the chance / motivation to play lately.
Hmm. I've never really given defenders a chance. But then I'm not really the healer type. I might try a pain domination corruptor though.
The one AT I will never play is the dominator. Why? The same reason I can't stand Invulnerability (did I spell that right?)... the graphics is migraine-triggering for me. Odd, I know. Now, this doesn't mean I haven't tried the dominator and the Inv. set, on the contrary, I've tried a couple of times, but started to get a migraine every time.
Really bums me out since I have some wicked concepts that fits dominators and the Inv. set. Oh well.
All villain AT's except masterminds. And tankers I find extremely boring to play.

Can't stand anything that can't solo well when no teams are available (this happens).
You know, Controllers, half of the Defender or Corruptor buff sets..

trollers, i rather kill then sit around setting a heal skill on auto play.

lol if that's the way you played a controller I'm not surprised you gave up on it.
Defenders. I have tried on multiple occasions, all sorts of powerset combinations, and I just can't do it. Especially Empaths. Oh god. I'm amazed anyone can bring themselves to play such a character.

I think your problem with them may well be contained within that very sentence. 
For me, Stalkers. They're like slightly gimped Scrappers to me although admittedly since the recent buffs, they've got a bit better. I've still never gotten one into double figures though.

I've played all the AT's available, but always gravitate back to brawlers. Brutes, Scrappers, Tankers, Stalkers and the melée geared VEAT's. Something about being surrounded by foes and coming out on top just makes me grin and cackle as I dance a jig on the mangled... Back on track. Ranged characters are fun, sure. I've seen people really enjoying them, and quite like the Fire/Fire blaster I have. But as always, the call of spilled blood pulls me back to up-close-and-personal hitting in the face with a massive axe or fists or twinned blades... Mmm... Hitting...
Masterminds, I got one to like level 32 then got rid of him really can't get into them.
Love playing Brutes have so many of them!
One! I have to pick one?!
Um... of all the ATs I've tried, I find Tanks the most boring.

Defenders, Controllers and Dominators. I solo a lot, and these AT's are not built for it. I need constant carnage and/or massive damage numbers for my enjoyment.
If I had friends for regular teaming, sure, but I wouldn't play these AT's outside of a team, which means I don't play these AT's.

me personally i find scrappers the easiest to play wether solo or team, but that just me, everyone has ther own opinion and style of playing, but the hardest for me to get along with ? for me its Tanks, but thats just me, i know plenty of peeps who prefer tanks
@crazybonkers
I am with Col_Blitzkrieg here. If I can't solo with them starting from level 1 up to 50 then it is not a good toon for me. So Trollers and Defenders and their red side equivalent are all out. Never managed to level a troller beyond 20. Worst are buffing characters. I hate to spend looking the whole time for buffs to run out.
Recently found a love for Controllers and i adore the Blaster AT. Can't say i find Stalkers/Scrappers that entertaining and i find WS/PB too mind bogglingly difficult too play. You have so many power options it's ridiculous. Imho they're AT's for those who like stats and figures rather than just for fun.
The above is only my opinion, please don't hate me for it

I find my Dominator is the hardest to play but I blame a few things because of it: He was below SO level, he was my first, he grates so hard on me that when my MM overtook him long ago I realised he just wasn't fun. Since then I've dropped mission after mission or joined an occasional team with him and he's now finally sitting at 22.
The biggest hitch I find is not with the ATs as I've just started a plant/thorn Dom and she's a lot of fun. To me the biggest hitch is the combinations we choose as well can make a decidedly huge influence.
I tried a Dark/Regen scrapper but she's sitting at 10; my Spines/Dark dinged 50 a couple of weeks ago and he was made after she was.
My Mind/FF main Controller was such a chore to ding 50 that he put me off trying controllers again until a well-crafted firekin build landed on my lap and she dinged 50 in a fraction of the time.
So for me it's not necessarily the AT but the powerset choices that I make with it.

I've tried defenders a couple of times, my highest level was 13 I think. But I got tired of everyone telling me how to play it and griefing me when the wrong was on their part.
Good cross section of preferred AT's there. Just as well we're all different otherwise we'd have a City of Tanks or City of Stalkers and that really WOULD be boring
Blasters.

My Ill/Rad was soloing AVs before epic power pools, is possibly an exception rather than the rule for controllers. I couldn't imagine Ice/FF would ever solo particularly well

Stalkers. No matter how hard I try I jusr can't get into them! I would add Tankers but I'm currently levelling one and getting back into the AT, so meh.
