leapers do lock survivors in place when they're caught, but doesnt have the agility the digger possesses, but doesnt use energy when attacking. leapers are much faster in taking down lonely survivors due to its jumping/attacking speed and are far more threatening to survivors if the survivor team is dogshit useless (read: void)

i may have missed some of your points but this is what i could come up with: leapers and diggers both have their cons and pros, but in the end, i believe that both zombies are equal in threat, strength and annoyance.

and also digger's hand have hitscans so shit you could claw at a survivor that isnt even melee immuned and it would still not cause damage You can simply run up to humans not pressing left click to damage them as well, making energy only for digging underground.
