Devs should just watch these podcasts
ohTofu does these podcasts with other dead by daylight YouTubers where they discuss what's new in the game and they also discuss others things off of that. He tries to get three different types of players, killer main, survivors main and both sides main to get everyone's point of view on each topic.
After listening to their ideas and stuff it really seems like what the majority of good long time players of dbd want in the game.
I think it would be a great idea for the devs to look at all the podcasts and take it all in and not really change it to what they think should be done since these are the players of your game that spend hours a day every day playing it.
Devs, listen to it with the mindset of "this is what the players want, not what we want" and I bet you that almost everyone will get a lot less toxic and more people will want to play the game.

This is the latest podcast
They don't seem to listen to the thousands of players who already bring up the same issues they all do anyway, so I doubt 4 streamers will make a difference, despite the fact they all hit the nail on the head for the issues with maps, the new killer and current issues in game. The day the Devs really do start listening to everyone is the day it's far too late, if it isn't already too late.
Just going to say that...
Good players DO NOT make good designers.
Listening to them to identify issues with the game is a good idea.
Listening to them to get ideas how to fix those issues is a bad idea.
