Hitbox Information

This is a bit of a longshot but figured it was worth a try.

Something I find really lacking in DbD compared to most MP games I play is the knowledge of how the game actually works. Most games I play have great community scientists who can 'locate' this info (hitbox viewers for example in fighting games) but there really isn't anything outside of certain distasteful avenues in DbD which obviously is not a solution.

I'm not expecting the game's guts to be released for everyone to dissect and find exploits in but I think things like seeing the exact hitboxes on certain killer M2s (Nemmy, Demo, Dark Lord, Artist etc.) would be super nice info to have out there, even in screenshot form for a wiki. I could understand the view of not wanting this to feel like required homework for playing or if it goes against the dev philosophies but at this point a lot of counter-play really isn't very intuitive without knowing how killer powers work and we're usually left to lots of trial and error until someone finds what works. Especially with how popular Nemmy/Dark Lord are right now.

While I would never expect a practice mode akin to a fighting game/LoL even something along the lines of a dev blog with these kinds of images would be pretty nice to see in my opinion. And of course a lot of hitbox 'complaints' are generally networking complaints and not much to do with the hitboxes themselves but I still believe the knowledge would do no harm to be out there. Hell even something as simple as a Trapper trap hitbox to visualize would help a lot of people who don't know what exactly they can squeeze past without the experience.
