Most notably, the free classes are leading most likely due to them being free and available to all players.But also, it could possibly be because the Purple Dragon Knight doesn't even have an identity. The Champion is someone that dominates with sheer will, like an arena champion. The battlemaster is tactical and understands their enemy's weakness, like someone who has mastered battle. The eldritch knight has mastered the arcane, much like a magical knight that chose magic in a way other than religion or study. The Purple Dragon Knight...what in the world does that name even mean? It's a knight, sure, but um...purple dragon? That doesn't even exist in D&D lore and it's meaningless. You aren't replicating a Dragon.Everyone knows what a cavalier is unless you don't know the definition of the word. I know the definition of the words purple and dragon and knight and I have no clue what they are supposed to mean when put together. I also don't think being at the bottom of a popularity list makes them unpopular. The least popular would be correct, but unpopular implies the majority of people don't like them, which isn't necessarily true. It would be like an election between two extremely favorable Prime Ministers (if only this was common), so someone has to win and someone has to lose, but that doesn't mean that even a single person disliked the loser.But if I was asked to play any of the fighter subclasses, hearing "Purple Dragon Knight" out of Champion, Samurai, Arcane Archer, Battlemaster, etc. Would make me think you added it as a joke or something.</blockquote>
