Height Classes need to be Changed!

In the current PTB for the Alien chapter, The Xenomorph is listed as Average height by the game. However, taking a look at the model, the Xenomorph itself is actually one of the tallest Killers in the game, period.

However, Xenomorph's curious height is not what I'm talking about, so don't put this on the 7.2.0 PTB feedback page. The curious height discrepancy is actually only part of the problem at the moment, as I believe that the height classes for Dead by Daylight need a substantial change to what they currently are.

Characters such as The Artist and The Xenomorph are listed (inaccurately) as "Average" height. Characters who can either be seen in-game or in-model being significantly taller than the likes of The Knight or The Doctor.

Characters such as The Legion and The Nightmare are even in the same height category as The Artist.

The Hag, the second smallest Killer in the game, isn't even given the Short designation that is also seen with The Onryo, despite the two having practically identical height.

So while this would be a very minor change in the grand scheme of things, I believe that the game needs an overhaul to the height classification system. This is my suggestion:

  • New height class has been added: Very Tall.
  • The following Killers are considered Very Tall:
    • The Doctor
    • The Plague
    • The Demogorgon
    • The Executioner
    • The Nemesis
    • The Dredge
    • The Xenomorph
  • The following Killers are considered Tall:
    • The Trapper
    • The Wraith
    • The Hillbilly
    • The Shape
    • The Huntress
    • The Cannibal
    • The Clown
    • The Oni
    • The Blight
    • The Twins
    • The Cenobite
    • The Artist
    • The Knight
    • The Singularity
  • The following Killers are considered Average:
    • The Nurse
    • The Pig
    • The Spirit
    • The Legion
    • The Ghost Face
    • The Trickster
    • The Mastermind
    • The Skull Merchant
  • The following Killers are considered Short:
    • The Hag
    • The Nightmare
    • The Onryo

    I wouldn't mind a new height category, but I don't think Xeno & Demo should be in very tall, their models aren't representative of their eye level while playing because of their posture, and the height should represent how it feels to play them and not how tall they technically are when you stretch them out.
