The best way to know a opponent is to know what they hate fighting so lets as they say know thy foe
me personally i hate first off terminator armies, carnifexes, lictors, tyrants, land raiders, whirlwinds, bikers, assault squads, terminators, summoned deamons, defilers, berserkers, thousand sons, plauge marines, psykers, fabious bile, battle wagons, kommandoes, nobz, ogryns and just about all imperial tanks what about you

I hate gun lines. They stop your stuff from getting where it needs to go, and if you actually get to their line with something (a daemon prince, maybe?), they tend to bitch about cover saves and what not. No, you should not be able to play the game by sitting still. That MAKES NO SENSE.

TFG who must WAAC.
Even in tournaments, where competition is fierce, there is little more annoying than the TFG WAAC player. You know you are playing this person when...
* Every game phase includes an argument phase.
* When you start to win they will pout and call you names.
* They get over-excited about their toy soldiers
* Move their models a bit more than 6" each.
* Forget their own codex rules when convenient

Frenzied Berserker Terminator
In your squads, doing the chainsword tango

I used to work in a net cafe where my coworker was so fat he ate food off a plate off his man titties. And he smelled like a dumpster filled with used diapers and burning hair, sitting in a ceptic tank to marinate and mature the scent. The horror!
I hate Battlecannon/S8+ ordnance weaps (is there a ordnance weap thats below S8?). When the battlecannon hits you as a marine, you might as well be guard :( Losing chunks of a squad to a single shoot sucks nuts

@ Halo, what are you talking about....... /sigh
@ Labmouse: Kudos for that... It will never be a fun game facing the TFG
@ Eldar: We have that kind of guy also, but do you have a TFG with BO in your FLGS? I did.... and boy , it was horrible.
Back to the OP's topic, what do I hate? Something that can outmanuver my army. Mech is ridiculous enough, that vehicle is not as easy to destroy, then we have to worry about that same vehicle dance around 12" (at least) every turn on the table.

I'm gonna have to go with Necrons, like Sniper said. They're the most unimaginative and tactically dry race to play, whether you're playing as them or against them. And then when they bring the Nightringer into the mix.... Suddenly I can't win unless I take half of my army as heavy weapons. (Lascannon syndrome... *shudder*)

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Hahaha, that is so true! At this FLGS the owner will not let you come in and play unless you have bathed. He told me that he enacted that policy when he could smell guys as soon as they walked in and could even smell them all the way at the front of the store when they were way in the back. When people complained he justified it as protecting other customers and forcing his regulars to have proper people skills by bathing on a regular basis.

Lootas still give me fits, even though they're suppposedly nerfed now. I know I'm supposed to just ignore them, but I always wind up doing stupid things to kill them...
Also I hate facing the fluffy bunny player who thinks his battleforce army is competitive in a tournament. I'm always torn between trying to play weak so that he has fun while being smashed, or just rolling him ruthlessly. I'd much rather face a really tough army.
In casual play, I have no problem with the fluffy bunny.

I hate fighting Orks.
It seems for the past 12 years 90% of my games have been against ork players...
Would you believe I've never played against Tau or Dark Eldar army?
Ive played more games VS SQUATS than Tau and Dark Eldar combined... lol.
played against WH once or twice, and DH a like amount.
Ive only played 5 or so games vs Necrons
maybe 20 vs eldar
same for IG
probly 30-40 games vs nids
Chaos Space Marines and Chaos demons ive played against more times than I can count. same with nilla marines/BA/DA/SW/BT
but orks. omg... I went to The Necronomicon this year, and my main goal was to play against some armies Ive never seen before... out of 5 games played 2 of them were vs people that were from my own game store, and 3 of them were ORKS..... (all battlewagon spam orks at that)
I dont have a problem beating orks, Space Wolves laugh at them in close combat, and I play Land Raider heavy.... so yea.

Oooh, a hate thread!
Someone should start a love thread!
Anyway, on with the hate!
I hate:
unpainted armies
poor terrain
More in the spirit of the OP:
Book of Saint Lucius: NEVER intended to have the crushingly awesome effects it does now!
The Entire Ork Codex (Random Units, Dumb Fiction, MOB rule and BS2)
Sisters of Battle (because of faith points rules magic solutions for everything... and the book)
The whole "Vanilla Space Marine Character" concept special 'army' powers should have drawbacks and requirements, and cross chapter chars is in bad taste.
..OH AND!!!
INCOSISTENT UNITS!
How many types of rhinos are there now? How many versions of assault cannon, and machine spirit? It's the same thing, it ought to have the same rules!

Also the way special characters are done in 5e. It's not that they're unfair or unbalanced, but it feels sort if lame that EVERY SINGLE ELDAR STRIKE FORCE is led by Eldrad. And apparently the Salamanders can never, ever go into battle without Vulkan leading them personally. And so on.
