David Mains

Serious question. What is it with David players (usually the topless ones). Of all the survivors to run past you when your on the hook and/or not help in anyway, why is it (in my experience) that David's seem to be the worst. Does the character draw these people in?

    Guess no topless Dave's want to chat

    Atleast it's good eye candy than all the Neas crouching past you with urban evasion.

    Well...not really my thing, I'm more of a Kate person myself when it comes to that set of pixels.

    I like to think David mains (especially the shirtless ones) as failed tryhards. They try pulling off jukes with Dead Hard and fail.

    He's more interested in getting spanked by the killer. I think it's like a BDSM thing.

    I always see David's run in for the unsafe unhooks.

    I ain't no topless David. I'm a 100% black clothed David, so instead of being cheeky I'll look at you about to be consumed by the entity from the exit gate, right in the eye...and say "There can only be one" then walk out...

    I wear black because I'm edgy alright?

    So, you're one of these Davids then.

    Well...that is the other option I suppose

    @Arsoul

    If I can save I will save. If it's unsafe then hell no.

    If I'm at the gate and you're on the hook with lacking support from other teammates, or worse, a NOED killer, then I ain't risking that.

    Way better than the Urban evading neas and the megheads doing questionable plays

    It's a serious question. Im not seeking an argument on other survivors

    I honestly think its for eye candy, or for the burly man feel. I mean.. Unless theres a secret to him or something

    I don't see shirtless Davids being any less helpful than others, they are often more concerned with being killer bait while others come for the save. I've had tons of matches where shirtless Davy was more helpful than any of the others, sometimes coming for the save and distracting the killer during others.

    Hmm I'm not really sure what you're talking about, that's a strange personal experience.

    Sexy David isn't easy to hide with so he's drawing attention to himself because he's so visible (also eye candy) which is good for other survivors because he's taking the heat.

    With Dead Hard it helps if he's injured so he's less afraid of a hit than others.

    And he also has WGLF so if anything David is going to be the most zealous rescuer of all the survivors. "His few friends deserve the best protection" after all.

    Maybe you've had a bad few experiences, but as a Shirtless David who loves being altruistic I can't say I fit the bill. Everything about him suggests altruism/being a hero, I feel Nea, Jake, maybe Dwight would be the least likely to risk themselves for others.

    David's are defiantly the least likely to be altruistic in my game... but maybe there is variation between PC and consoles players...
    Nea's I find do a lot of unhooking, while Dwight is in a locker!
    Cant say much about Quentin, I see him maybe once a week

    David players are very likely to BM. That is my experience at least.

    This has so much truth. Just seems a large number of them are played by.......yeah...pick a bad work or two.

    Shame though, it makes me not trust the David's in my games, even though they might be good
