I've only been playing scenario one so far, but I would have to say I absolutely hate Dol Guldur Orcs. Their when revealed hurts and their shadow ALWAYS comes up when I let a guy through. A close second would be King Spider. Exhausting an additional guy when you weren't planning for it hurts.

The Brown Lands is on the list. You commit some people anticipating getting a little progress and bam +5 Threat Strength. Eat your threat and like it!

Also Despair as a Shadow card. Ignores your bloody defense and you watch in horror as your Hero dies. 

Dol Goldur Orcs and Hummerhorns are my current least favorite Encounter cards.

I also don't enjoy getting caught in a web. Among the enemies the worgs are really annoying since they keep running back to the staging area.

Haven't any of you guys met the Hill Troll? If not, you are in for a treat. 

I agree with Hummerhorns, though. I had it in the staging area today, just waiting. It took a desperate maneuver, exhausting Gleowine, drawing and playing Wealth of Lorien, drawing Gandalf and playing him via Sneak Attack and then hitting with his damage to erase Hummerhorns. Otherwise, I would have lost my second hero. 

Honorable mention goes to The Necromancer's Reach.

For me to hate a card it must be something that I could have avoided had I only been more lucky with my card draws.

Well, it takes a bit of luck, but Ungoliant's Spawn can actually be avoided. I come to it from the opposite point of view. Most cards that may or may not show up, don't bother me as much. It's the one royal pain in the rear end that can't be avoided that frustrates me. But as you say, it is easier to prepare for them.  

I absolutely hate Caught in a Web! That card is putting a way too strong limitation on my heroes, especially when drawn early in the game it seriously puts you behind. In solo-mode it's almost equal to a loss when drawn in the set-up phase of scenario 3!
