the game already runs pretty poorly for modern hardware devices , DBD optimization was never good , I can just imagine the frame-drops of a sandstorm or tornado effects kicking ...uhh god , pls no ..... Realm Beyond was an entire mess in terms of optimzations + new content being added just makes the problem even worse , remenber when nemesis first came out? yeah that was a frame-drop mess + some assets are poorly optimized causing consoles to stutter more often compared to PC but even on pc the game still runs bad on low settings.
fun fact: its been 3 years already since they promise to add a in-game option to disable antialising (and no news on that YET)
well we are still stuck with the ULTRA - MEDIUM - LOW settings....BHVR pls give us more video options jeeeeez..

The sample size is big enough that your confidence level (I forget the correct term, Statistics was a long time ago) is fairly high - it's probably not perfectly representative of high MMR play, but it's likely pretty damn close.

Confidence interval? I never got around to stats before I got sick but I helped my friends with it.

Anyways, I don't have high confidence in it. Prior to the 6.1.0 patch, NightLight shows DH with a 47% pick rate, presumably at high mmr. The official stats show DH at a 70% pick rate at high mmr.

That's a pretty huge difference. I think you can use it to show trends, like in usage, but not really for specific points.

That's a bit unlucky.
But okay - you nerf Eruption. To the ground. Because that is what happens to regression perks (see Ruin, Thana, Overcharge).
Now it's just CI/PR/DMS all the way down.
How long, do you estimate, it'll take before the front page is carping about PR+DMS, how it's the most boring, unfun thing to face, how if BHVR don't nerf it people are quitting and the rest.
Eruption could be tuned to be nicer for solos - but if it's keep it as it is, so there's at least some variety in the regression meta, or destroy it, then Eruption stays.

Going off NightLight, which is generally high MMR stuff - so where you'd expect to see the meta, last time I checked it was 28-30%. So that's some...incredible luck.
A few things, as someone who plays a fair amount of solo queue and can generally deal with Eruption.
Run Empathy. Survivors move a certain way before they go down in almost all cases.
If you see someone spinning, let go immediately.
It's not a perfect counter, because anything with a perfect counter is a bad perk. But I think I'm avoiding at least 50% of Eruptions now, and it could easily be 60% if I was a bit more conservative letting go.

KnightLight is entirely self-reported and encompasses a VERY small percentage of the playerbase.

I wouldn't really trust it.

Legion and Pinhead are more hated.

It probably stems from the fact that a lot of people disliked him being added to the game and felt it was a pretty blatant cash-grab attempt. Also that he's super weak in most scenarios but in the places where he's good, there is LITERALLY nothing you can do.

Also also, he's borderline unplayable on console

I actually do like playing knight in general, it's just that I don't feel I can really do well with him. Or more specifically, that whether I do well or not doesn't really depend on me, but the survivors.
And it does get a bit frustrating. But from OPs answer I surmise that I simply don't have the mindset to play him well, so I'll keep fooling around with him when I'm in the mood and not much more.

He really thrives in the whole, "I want to win at any cost" sort of mindset that is prevalent in comp and in I suppose more importantly, in me.

He tunnels easily, deals with bodyblocks easily, can proxy effectively and can hold a horrific three-gen. That makes his macro gameplay extremely hard to deal with for the average player. I've found that even experienced Survivors like Oso or Brice have issues with him too

Whenever I see someone boast like that on their steam profile, I make it a point to report their profile.
And if Steam says 'We took action', I check; If nothing changed, I report again. And again. And again. Until I get a mod who actually does something about it.
Thankfully, their profiles usually end up wiped clean by a mod within a try or two. They still WORK (Sadly), but the mod removes all offending comments.

The guy I saw the other month had hundreds of pages of comments on his profile, literally thousands of "X characters killed" and screenshots of people getting upset with him in the EGC.

I don't suicide on hook if I think it's going to have a result on the match. 7 hooks at 5 gens? Probably just gonna move on.

I'm simply sympathetic to people who get fed up with the bullshit the game throws at you. You want to have fun, you go in with a good attitude, nice perks, you don't even care if you survive. Then boom, tunneled out in 2 minutes, no gens are done. Boom, Bubba facecamping you. Boom, Eruption infinite three-gen.
