My submission for "worst" and "best" is the same:

 

Nice autoaim on that pillar.

 

As for me, dying to a Lost Soul that I never heard because it went halfway across the fricking map. Jumpscares me all the time.

The worst way in my opinion is getting telefragged by a demon.

Dying on ITYTD to a former human right next to either a megasphere or invulnerability sphere.

[Senor Cacodemon]

Alot of people are talking about dieing on ITYTD, I've never played the difficulty so I cant relate on how painful it is to die in that difficulty

[Mr.Rocket]

Playing hell to get past a certain area and then forgetting to save.

death by own rocket while trying to kill an enemy some distance away but hitting a spectre or a lost soul with your own rocket at point blank range instead

Auto-switch deciding that switching to that shotgun I did not pick up yet is more important than chainstunning a Chaingunner in my face.

 

Or a rocket launcher, so I need to switch weapons again.

when an archvile is in a crowd, you fire 3 or 4 rockets at it, figuring those rockets, combined with the random projectiles also hitting the viles from other enemies in the crowd, will do enough damage to kill it, but the vile survives with like 2hp, targets you, then zaps you and you die

Getting goddamn softlocked and having to restart the level.

^{Or noclip}

You're standing on an elevated platform... you're shooting rockets towards cacos some distance away... Demon on the ground below casually passes through your field of view... auto aim kicks in and rocket is launched downward into the platform you are on... SPLAT!

 

... also, long time lurker, first time poster achievement here!

[jerk-o]

Having another player berserk punch you to death in a deathmatch game.  (I did that to my brother once)

I think I've found the hypothetical worst (unluckiest) way to die in Doom:

Imagine you're playing on a non-ZDoom port on Nightmare! or with -fast monsters. An imp launches a fireball that you successfully dodge, however due to its increased speed with -fast parameter and flawed collision detection it goes right through a wall, then wraps around the map, then goes through a wall again and enters the map in a completely different area and unexpectedly hits you right in the face when you're at very low health and kills you!

[DoomPlayer00]

Getting hit by a max damage Revenant missile at 79hp and no armor.

I think one of my very early memories of "worst ways to die" was around the beginning of some map with a high healthy state and I got cornered by a spectre and I couldn't kill it because bullets were going through it. Then I made this thread. 

[Devalaous]

Getting killed by the buggy reverse crushers, the ones that raise into the ceiling then get you stuck.

[Lizardcommando]

Getting killed by a lone zombieman at the end of a level right after fighting a huge swarm of monsters.

Deaths where the player's body slides directly onto a medikit so it takes up the whole screen while they contemplate their recent decisions are always 10/10 👌😂

[bowserknight]

 

 

This comes to my mind... I was doing a difficult challenge run of dead.air and I died literally at the very end. I beat the entire map but after everything except 1 Caco was dead, I got hit by some homing projectiles. I was pretty pissed.

When you shoot at a crowd of enemies with a rocket launcher and then Lostsoul suddenly appears in your face and you just kill yourself with a rocket

Haha yeah, I call those kinds of deaths "The Longest Yard".

Dying in any means with your field of view right in front of a medkit, taunting you.

I was testing my map yesterday...this made me spit bullets :)

[fruity lerlups]

checkmated by cacodemons flying above you, absolute most frustrating death you could possibly have, and it makes it worse I feel guilty about playing at different complevels so i just suck it up and deal with infinitely tall mobs.

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

I play my life using Mighty DOOM, now I can't live anymore because I don't have enough money for the in-app purchases. I want a refund. Life sucks this way, I hate only being able to see from a top-down view. Fuck this shit, I'm deleting the app. Goodbye.

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

Nevermind I was able to buy 100 energy for $59.99 so I can still live more. Great deal btw only good for twelve hours!

Coming to the heartbreaking realization that you're soft-locked and blowing yourself up with a rocket because you're too proud to load a saved game or noclip your ass out

I had worse: I got softlocked in a tiny box (ambush closet) and I couldn't even blow myself up. Somehow the splash damage wasn't dealt to me despite being point blank. For reference (if anyone wants to check it themselves), it was on map 08 of Requiem (the exact softlock spot is written on the wiki page) and I was playing on complevel 2.

[NecrumWarrior]

Getting killed by a Mancubus fireball through a wall.
