I wish more people played Pyramid Head
^^ title.
PH - in my biased opinion - is one of the most intimidating and unsettling Killers to go against in the entire game. Maybe it's his strength, maybe it's his unpredictability, maybe it's his pleasingly unsettling music, but I wish that more people played as him so I could enjoy the experience more!!

PH is bug right now its not a huge bug but its enough to be an annoyance when you use his power this may be one if the reason we dont see him the other i can think of is the hold w meta

I bought the game to play as Pyramid Head. I was disappointed after continual use by his useless AddOns, very put out by his poorly designed Trail of Torment, annoyed by how over-hyped his cages were, and really frustrated by the incredibly niche windows where his main power is actually useful.
I'd gone in saying "okay, I'll use addons to get more powerful, I'll set up trails to debuff and locate people, I'll use the torment status to do cool kill animations, and I'll use the shockwaves to hit people instead of having to chase them down all the time." But the addons are worthless and have no actual power increase. The trails take too long to set up, go away too quickly, are too limited in how much you can put down, can't be put down anywhere you'd actually WANT to put them down, don't give you tracking worth a damn, and can be totally avoided by survivors who take a fraction of a second to press Shift. The kill animation is nice except every cage I use removes two torments from the field, making any trails doubly useless. And the shockwave takes SO LONG to put down, has a huge warning sound/light, and has such a gigantic delay that it can't be used from stealth, can't be hidden, doesn't reach far enough to get anyone mid-chase, and can be evaded by using A or D for a fraction of a second. It is ONLY actually useful for locked-animation states like vaulting or pallets.
So anyway. I'm bummed I don't play him more, but he's a great example of taking a fun idea and over-balancing it to the point where he's not actually that much fun to play. Powers should be a delight to use and provide more value than just holding W, but PH's power is only useful if survivors are objectively playing badly and that's a huge bummer.

He's pretty popular on my region. Not Huntress or Bubba level, but definitely popular.

I wish I saw more Pyramid Heads too. However, they typically either D/C or pitch a fit in the endgame lobby... kinda sad. Thankfully, I mainly play him myself and he's probably my favorite Killer to play, so at least I get to see him then -- especially with his Corrupted outfit! 😏

I wanted to like him so much. I thought striking through walls looked cool but he kinda got old fast I guess, and his addons are a snooze fest.
I'm not even sure what it'd take for me to go back to him.

I believe in JP servers there is quite a few. Also I play Pyramid Head often but he bugged rn.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Once I got too good as Killer, I started facing people that I could rarely hit with my M2 as they almost always juked it. The only hits I got were when they threw pallets/vaulted, any other times were useless. That's why I picked up Nemesis, his Tentacle is just an easier to use Punishment, albeit with less range and not able to go through walls.
Similar to you, I don't know what'd bring me back to him. I LOVE how unique he is, and still think he's the best aesthetically designed Killer, he's just been over-balanced.

I'd play pyramid head more if he actually had good add ons it's boring only having like 3 be effective

He got old? I kind of like him because of all the different mechanics. He has more depth than most killers, imo. But he kind of becomes just an m1 killer against competent survivors which sucks.

He needs better add-ons. I do like him but if you just use his power at windows and pallets and M1 for the free hit after zoning them out, it just feels boring. However, if you're good at him, he can be really fun if you can land those difficult shots, his skill cap is insane.

What is the bug?

It's an animation bug. It takes longer for him to put the sword down. It doesn't affect the actual attack but if your used to the normal animation it looks and feels very, VERY, off.
