Wouldn't Doom Slayer be a good new killer for DBD?

Wouldn't the Doom Slayer be a really cool addition to the Killer's roster?

    Doom Slayer is not evil. He would never willingly serve the entity .

    He'd be a cool killer but would make no sense in the killer role or the game in general.

    Doom Slayer has been explicitly show to be firm, but gentle with other humans. His beef is with demons, not them.

    He won't work as a killer and he'll be a bad survivor. He's got way too much going on with him when he's does nothing but rip and tear demons and other horrors.

    You see? Darth Vader makes a lot more sense than this too.

    Honestly I'd take a Baron of Hell or some other band of Doom demons as a killer. Without DoomGuy it would sell the idea Doom enemies would be nightmare scenarios for basically anyone but him. Besides, Pinky's and Cacodemons are probably some of the most common hell designs in public conscience, I think it'd fit like a glove in DBD.

    Other than not fitting that well thematically, Doom Slayer wouldn't really have a good power, either. He's the Shoots You and Is Fast guy. There's nothing you could really do there without making him busted or feel immensely nerfed, at which point, why bother?

    Willingness to serve the entity means nothing because there's a plethora of killers that wouldn't ever serve the entity, but they do because they don't have a choice. They were forced to.

    Doom-Guy would be awesome, don’t get me wrong, but it wouldn’t work for DBD for a few reasons

    For one, Doom Guy only kills demons, never people

    Two, brainwashing him into think the Survivors are demons wouldn’t work, dude is built different and mind-control doesn’t work on him

    Three, he killed God, he would 100% try to kill the Entity and in-all likelihood win

    Four, ignoring all of that, fitting Doom’s gameplay into DBD would be a balancing nightmare

    Agreed, the demons in prettymuch any of the doom games would work well as a new killer, maybe a cosplay of doomguy at most. But there would also be allot of confusion as to why make a collab if the franchise's main character isn't a part of it. In comparison itd be like adding a Spawn chaptet, just they can't use spawn as a survivor because hes too strong, can't be a killer because he more of a goodguy, but they bring in Violator as a killer, itd be kinda awkward yo have the collab at all lol
