Read more Dead by Daylight ➜ https://deadbydaylight.mgn.gg
According to some, not all Dead by Daylight survivors are created equally. While some survivors like Dwight, Feng, and Kate have massive player-bases, some characters seem to have been left behind by the larger DBD community… and maybe even by BHVR themselves. Which survivors deserve more love? Let’s talk about it.

"some people look at jonahs lore.."
generic dude number 5 has LORE??
Can you do one of these for killers too!? I’m a loyal yoichi main. Raincoat stans rise up
Quentin is my most played survivor.
Then there's Bill, Yui, sometimes Haddie, Dwight, Jeff and sometimes Leon.
I don't play many survivors yea I know 'X)
I think the reason Zarina and Elodie are lesser popular because of the killers they come with;
I had Deathslinger for months before I realised he came with a survivor cos all the promo for that DLC was just him (also there were a few DLCs at that time which were JUST killers or survivors)
and Elodie came with Twins…. enough said
Since then Zarina has easily been my most played survivor since then, she has some really nice simple clothes that aren't too flashy but are eye catching enough to be interesting
Only reason I don’t use a character is because I haven’t unlocked them..
Otherwise I play every character killer and survivor
Part human/Part dump-truck I'm weak
Haddie Mains rise up
I feel the only one I disagree with is Bill, I feel like he should have been in popular at least because you see him a lot in lower skill levels, being the only free licensed character
Zarina and Elodie, I see quite frequently in EU lobbies. In my opinion, they deserve to be in the mid categorie
When Jonathan Byers is so irrelevant he’s not in the irrelevant survivors list
F13 5 was awesome you hush!
The issue with Jonah as a morally-grey survivor is that his motivation for being so isn't as understandable as Elodie or Yun-Jin. Yun had to kiss ass and be cutthroat in a cutthroat industry to achieve what she had. Elodie spent half of her life surrounded by gritty occult stuff while fruitlessly searching for her parents. Both are embittered people. For Jonah, his tome reveals that he's incompetent when it comes to anything besides numbers, brushes off casualties as another day on the job, and is aware that he neglects the father that protected him from ever knowing poverty. Oh yeah, he also has a random passion for baseball. That's…..neat. Nothing about him feels like a survivor of something.
You are a good person for what you said about the female survivors, i loved your speech about Zarina and Haddie (and I'm a Elodie main, I agree with EVERY word you said) same thing to character like Quentin, Adam, Jeff and Jonah.
The only category i don't agree is the licensed characters; Bill had his glory days in the past for a looooong time, now it's time to leave space to some other survivors; for Tapp i think you understimated him a bit, i like him from the franchise, his design is nice and he got awesome perks; instead Ash is the worst character in the game and there are plenty of reasons why we should not use him, his design, his height and his breathing, his PERKS, i don't even like his voice acting (i like the fact that his actor is behind him but there is no passion in his grunts and general voice), anyway you did a pretty good job so far
P.S. a bunch of them are now more picked like Jeff and Zarina cause behaviour recently released new cosmetics for them; plus i forgot Yoichi and I don't have much to say about him
i personally enjoy these lesser picked characters a lot. Jonah, Bill, Haddie, Jeff, Adam & Tapp are 6 of my personal favorites from this list, but i also like the others too. It's always nice to play as a character you don't see very often, cause they're won't be doubles of those survivors in lobbies XD
and plus I'm sure people will be shocked to see those survivors in those lobbies.
I feel like most of the unpopular ones can be explained because they're neither female nor attractive to the majority of them playbase.
Bro, Part 8 had Julius, the only man to ever punch the shit out of Jason for over a minute.
Edit: I main Tapp by the way. No clue why, I just think he's neat.
Jeff, Adam, Zarina and Haddie my beloved <3
I don't even play DBD, but I wanna see more Ash Love. 🙁
I’m a P21 Haddie main, and I’m really surprised she is as rare at it gets. When she first came out I thought that Tons of more people would play her, but I usually only see like 1-2 Haddie’s every 20 matches, sometimes not even at all. So Sadge 🙁
Steve, Jeff and Semi Jonah main personally. Couldnt agree with you more on your take for Jeff 😂 and I got Jonah cause he has Fresno outfit and I lived there a good portion of my life.
I love Elodie as a character, but i don't play her bcs of her scream. Same goes for Lisa Garland… i stopped playing her after they changed her voice and her scream just isn't for me. Probably silly reasons, but the only ones i got to not play them as often.
I haven't even watched the video yet but, real reason why no one really plays them is because they got shit cosmetics. I loved Haddie when she came out, she looks so fkn cool, but holy shit, her outfits? nahh
Adam mains are STARVING 😭
Haddie should have been one of the most played survivors with the chapter she came in. It was an anniversary chapter which you’d think would make her a pretty popular pick.
I who have been just recently playing more survivor recently have chosen Tapp as my main survivor feel hurt that no one likes him and hope one day to get his video game outfit
As an ash main, Ashy slashy is the best cosmetic in the game, no bias trust
As an elodie main I think I have a few reasons why she is barely played. 1 she has very mediocre and bad cosmetics the only good one she has was the contest one and even then I saw other better submissions.
2. Her perks are very low teir. While they can be fun they don't really help alot in game and all of them I would say basically need a build centered around it to get an effect. The only decent perk she has is power struggle which needs another perk to even get more use out of it. Lastly the chapter she cane out from was not really well received. A binding of kin chapter was a buggy mess and an even buggy killer and even elodies perks were bugged as well. First time I used deception I got stuck in the locker. Who a chapter perform can definitely contribute to if a survivor is played more
Ash is the coolest survivor in dbd and I agree with what you have said about him
ur description made me smile thanks :)) great video btw!!! <3
I wish for Ash he would get his classic looks from evil dead 1 & 2 in Dbd
It depends on region as well. Maybe on US some character are not that popular, but somewhere else they are.
For haddie, People don't like her because she isn't "attractive" for jeff it's the fact he's a older guy and he's chubby, for Zarina ig it's her lore? Not sure but for Adam it's becouse his lore is boring and he's not really an interesting character.
I think 🤔 people don't play other characters cause of there cosmetics..
75% of the least popular characters you mentioned have mediocre perks, and that is something very important because perk variety is always good when you are looking in having fun in your gameplay, not the case if we can't get value from them. But you almost didnt mention it.
Ash is probs a character most people have because of how mettle of man released, for me the reason I don’t play him is because of how behaviour then nickel and dime the player base after reworking mettle of man to being only good in a very specific play style and build, not offering refunded for Ashe was just kinda bs
what perk icon pack are you using I would like to use it
Huge W acknowledging jeff as a great saw protagonist but huge L including army or darkness and evil dead 2 and not the best one. Evil dead 1
1. Jeff has 1 good perk, distortion
2. I think I might be stealing your Zarina luck cuz I see her in like every second match
As a Jeff and (former) Quentin main, thanks for advocating our corners.
To be honest I barely see any Janes and Davids in my games. I was surprised you put them that high on your list.
Huh, I see Bill a lot. Could be because I'm still new to the game so I'm probably stuck with more people who don't wanna buy other characters, but I've seen him a lot
But Vittorio is a GILF.
AND a daddy.
I've never ever thought of zarina as an SJW girl or a boss. I always see Adam Francis every other game.
IMHO if you see a character within 5 matches. Then they're popular.
If you can go 10+ games and NOT see a character. Then they're dead.
In 10 games who do you never see? Elodie, Jeff, jack, Bill, caudette, & Tapp
(That yellow raincoat guy) they are definitely dead.
I don't see caudettes. But then again she's probably hiding in a bush.
I plan Survivor the most in this game but I don't have a main at all
I joined the game with Chains of Hate and mained Zarina for a long time. I only switched to Yun-Jin Lee as my main when All Kill released. Zarina deserves more cosmetics, if she got some fun ones I'd play her more. I will say, the ones she does have are amazing!
I would say its base on some prejudice, but it is very odd that claudette is so popular, but other color characters aren't.
Distortion is really cool though:(
I will play Haddie the day she gets cosmetics, the diving one is pretty but all the other ones are horrid recolors
