Is David Less Popular Now?
David was one of the most popular survivors. Actually he was the most popular male survivor after Dwight.
But now? I am almost never seeing him. Are people stopped play him? Why he is so rare now

Dead Hard nerf probably

This is nothing with perk. Most of people already unlocked Dead Hard years ago.

Felix and victorrio shirtless cosmetics happened
never liked david at any point Anyway
17 -
You like Felix and Vittorio more than David?

Victorrio is garbage but felix is good b tier survivor
1 -
I dont know there has been quite a few new survivors, alot of varied male survivors 2. Felix, Viagrrio, and jonah so im not surprised. dont really dislike or like david tho
0 -
Vittorio is actually good survivor, i liked his cosmetics. He is different type survivor and i like him for that.
4 -
Vittorio replaced him, I get at least 1 every match.

David used to be the only "hot" male survivor, now there's Felix and Vittorio. Not only are do players find them attractive but they have cosmetic options that don't suck - not saying David's are bad, just having good cosmetic options increases people wanting to use characters.

David main here (P64) and it saddens me to never see David players in my lobby 😭
And most Davids I see are usually pretty altruistic and good at the game so I like that a lot and hope to see a P100 David in my lobby soon 😁

After graphic update, his renewed face is not much attractive imo.
His cosmetics also didn't look like before and his lips are so weird.
1 -
yea, I see less and less of David. I miss getting teamed up with three shirtless David’s.
I see more and more Fengs, Leons and Elodies with a sprinkling of Janes and The rare Nancy here and there.
0 -
They stopped giving him cosmetics and all his players jumped ship. Like, the only person who's gotten less than him this last year is Elodie.

I don't remember ever seeing him that much. He's loud asf so that may be a factor.
1 -
I dont see claudettes in my games
1 -
I still see them but nowhere near as much as I used to. They’ve become a rare species. The Bush is not what it once was. Players have given the message they want “sexy, glamorous, hot and cool” characters and the devs obliged.
Not complaining, I just wish they’d let me design 10 outfits for Claudette.

I've always steered clear of David because I find his grunts irritating af. It pains me to play him--the only survivor I feel that way for.
If I was a content creator, I'd 100% make a video playing David titled "If I get injured, the video ends."
Edit: I should have made one when Elodie was released, titled "If I get hooked, the video ends," then cut as soon as her scream starts.

He is extremely loud lol
1 -
I meant that i dont see them because they are always hiding lmao
3 -
They’re not hiding, they’re just admiring the leaves and branches.

Vitorrio is a lot more attractive imo. David will always have a special place in my heart, but Vitorrio is S+ tier to me at the moment.
3 -
Vittorio is extremely handsome, I dont think there is a female counterpart in terms of look
2 -
Most David's are P100, and playing P100 in the current climate is like asking for an unfun match, I personally stopped playing him after getting tunneled and slugged because I 'm p100 on him.
Since David and Vittorio have similar charm I mainly just play Vitto instead.
Doesn't help that David has so many joke cosmetics.
2 -
Felix and Vittorio have shirtless cosmetics now and then there is Renato, who is very popular as well.
0 -
Probably a combination of
1. All bad or mediocre perks now
2. Other character being more popular/being released
3. Minimal new costumes for a long time
4. He's sooo loud compared to most survivors
0 -
Vittorio replaced him as the gigachad male survivor and he is also DILF material, haha.
2 -
Very few identify themselves with David now. I'm not playing David again for example and I used to play all survivors.
11 -
Since iron will nerf you barely will see alot of survivors, i rarely see janes.. and jeffs cause what... they so loud lol
3 -
Why not

Yun-Jin's struggle sounds are up there.

I enjoy playing Felix with Resident Evil outfit and Vittorio with his medieval/fantasy armour. For me both have more character than David.

This is exactly why I was content making sure all my Killers and Survivors were at least P3 before leveling my main.
I can't say for certain whether or not Fortnite played a big influence in this effect, but after the John Wick era, I noticed a wave of vindictive and nasty attitudes towards players who prominantly displayed their achievements for others to see. We went from "oh god, it's John Wick, he's cracked!" to "look at this loser wearing their tier 100 battlepass skin."
Being an OG (Skulltrooper/Legacy Skin) became the new status symbol, and anyone who tried to flex their grind was clout-chasing and shamed for devoting so much time to the hobby.
When BHVR announced the new prestige system, I knew players would be falling into that trap. P100 isn't so impressive now, because the new system has been out a while, but that doesn't seem to stop people from singling them out in-game.

Lmao grow up

He not answering that lmao
6 -
He might be right though.
15 -
I only play David unless I have a daily/tome challenge requiring me to play someone else.
0 -
Oh, I thought they were gonna say people would worry they were British.
Okay no but really, if that is the reason that's pathetic. His orientation changes nothing, it's just one part of his character. What's the big deal?
I play Yoichi, I'm not asian nor am I a marine biologist and I'm not particularly worried if people assume I am LOL.

I love playing killer against Davids. He makes the most hilarious noises. But other thirst-trap survivors exist now so David players probably jumped ship to Felix and Vittorio.
1 -
Then they can all grow up too 😭
4 -
You identify with Ash? Yun-Jin? Yoichi? Any of the RE cast?
5 -
Why is no one talking about Carlos being the hottest male ? have you seen his cake ?
I was a main Felix when they releasaed his open pyjamas but as soon as Carlos was released I shifted
1 -
Male survivors in general area a lot rarer to come across in general tbh. A solid 80% of the survivors I play as/against are playing Feng, Nea, Claud, Kate and Zarina.
0 -
I like certain characters such as David but seldom play them because they seem more ‘hardcore’ and the same for certain cosmetics I like but don’t use. I often feel they’re telling the killer “I’m strong - come for me if you dare!”
I don’t dare lol 😅
0 -
Yeah, I can ONLY play David because I can't identify with any other survivor.
I couldn't actually play DBD until David 'came out'
5 -
Well they changed David so more people could be represented in the game. It doesn't make someone a bigot if they no longer identify with a character and choose not to play them. I think maybe you have some growing up to do.
15 -
I think he’s just overshadowed by other, newer, attractive male characters (who also have shirtless cosmetics).
0 -
Why do you think that is?
0 -
- Male (cis/het) gamers tend to play female characters because looking at the butt all the time.
- Female gamers tend to play female characters because representation.
- Gamers like to look fabulous.
- Feng has all the cosmetics.
- bnuuy

"I refuse to play David King because he is gay" is a sentiment held exclusively by bigots and 2 year olds because that's the only character trait that differenciates him from the rest of the roster. And the person I was responding to said they stopped playing him because they could no longer relate (the only thing that changed is he was revealed to be gay) despite playing all of the roster.
But I guess they can relate to Yoichi, Claudette, Dwight, Felix, and Feng Min simultaniously?

Probably a lack of new cosmetics, maybe some people unconfortable with him being gay, he is big and loud, new male characters that are popular, most survivors play female survivors because they are smaller for stealth and generally make less noises.
I used to play David, but then switched to Jeff after i got some cool cosmetics for him
