People just take advantage of its high speed and tripping effect instead of using it for its intended purpose; weakening heavy-equipped survivors and destroying down camps and buildings.

It's not that much of a big target compared to Brutes or other zombies. I would call a Leaper small target, but that's only because it's on all-fours, exactly like Diggers. The main reason why Leaper looks small is because of the 2.0 package, while Digger uses 1.0, making its torso and limbs more thicker (obviously meaning bigger hitbox).

You weirdly worded out the 2nd and 3rd point of Digger's weaknesses, and I have no idea if the points belong to digger's POV or survivor's POV (POV means Point Of View btw).

Obviously, you mention that the Diggers can be stunned by punches, extinguishers, etc and it's easier said than done. You can't just turn around and punch randomly, hoping to stun a potential Digger. You're not going to have enough time to react when there's a speeding, small-sized zombie charging into you, and if you do, than lucky for you! You'd probably get thrown in the air 'still... because Diggers immediately throw you into the air if you touch it''', no control or skill needed for this act!

While the Digger having high health is somewhat unbalanced, I don't understand why you, or others in this case, complain about the Digger's ability to "dodge" explosives underground. It's logical, and if they're talking about the Pipebomb's explosion, all Diggers are forced out of the ground while a Pipebomb is in play.

WHAT I think a Digger needs is that the tripping effect should be nerfed, it shouldn't throw you in the air, but rather just trip you on the ground, like a zombie when they get punched (with ragdoll physics of course). It gives you enough time to get up and escape than being thrown into the air. This could also potentially prevent survivors being thrown out of the map, and Diggers would have to not rely on the trip effect so much.
