Is David the hardest survivor to play?

Why i think he is the hardest survivor to play:

He is not the loudest survivor, but he is not far away from being it.

He is the biggest survivor in the game,which will make him underpeform in most situations.

For example, he cannot go trough small trapped areas like a Nancy would.A Nancy would easly go next to the Freddy's dream snares that are placed on the middle, but David doesnt even stands a chance against those traps.

Also like is said he is big, which means he is also widder, which means he can do less loops compared to the other survivors.Why? bcs. u take more space, which means u will need to take more space to turn around while looping.

The same applies for 360 movement, which is also harder to do with a widder character.

I main David for a long time, i used many builds on him, and even achieved rank 1 with him.But i kinda just wanted to point out that he is slightly underperforming compared to the rest of survivors.

He has just one thing going for him, and this is being a big body blocker.

    every survivor has the same hitboxes, so it wouldn't change anything, if David can't fit in a small gap, neither can Nancy, Feng or Meg. The same goes for the space discussion, the only thing different is that he's gonna get spotted easier.

    He definitely is because most killers can't resist shirtless David!

    I think Jeff is the loudest survivor overall. His breathing, his injured state, his yells, the dude is just a truck horn.

    He probably would be but he isn't due to him having the shirtless cosmetic. It gives you a secret passive intimidation buff which really helps him out.

    Not even joking, I've had killers ignore me because they assumed I was a god tier looper in a 4-man swf. I've also had people tunnel me because of it and either way that means you're probably going to get out or you're going to be getting more experience in chases which will make you a better player. Win-win.

    Oh she can, and i witnessed it myself, otherwise i would point it out.Hitbox do not belong in the same category as interaction with obstacles, and traps.Those things belong more so in the category of Area of Effect aka AOE.

    The same applies to widder killers too, Oni has the same problem with obsatcles. And thats good otherwise he wouldnt be balanced, but i don't think David is balanced.A tough guy like him should have a deeper voice at least.
