Idea for a Buff to Pig

It's fair to say that Pig is one of the weakest killers in the game. However, buffing Pig has the potential to go wrong in so many ways. As a Pig main, I'd prefer that BHVR avoid changing her base kit, as it is already pretty solid and fun to play as. Rather, I suggest they reduce the RNG element to her traps. Here's how:

  • Each trap gets its own random number of searches required for it to be removed
  • Number of searches required is a random number from 1-4
  • The total number of required searches of all traps will always add up to ten to normalize the RNG
  • Add-ons can affect the total number of searches required

This way, if a survivor gets their trap off on the first try, it's not completely detrimental since the other survivors will still have to search 9 boxes total to get all of their traps off. What do you guys think?

    I agree that Pig is one of the weaker killers.

    First she needs an entire addon pass. Most are bad or don't make any sense.

    Rule Set#2 base kit please.

    People really like to focus on her traps for a rework but honestly the traps aren't her biggest issue. I do think they need to make them work at end game though and make them more reliably aka less rng. Basically your idea for the total of 10 is a good idea. We don't want the traps to be more deadly, we just want them to waste more time.

    The main issue holding her back is her ambush/crouch. It's pretty garbage. Any loop you could get a hit with her ambush at is an unsafe pallet you could just get the m1 reliably. It needs to be good enough of a loop counter for the tiles that aren't as playable. 9/10 you're better off just uncrouching and going for an m1. To me that's a sign of flawed design. She should be going for ambushes.

    Remove the roar on the ambush, it gives too much of a heads up. Survivors have eyeballs, make them use them. Maybe also remove the red stain just while mid ambush. An addon that silences the sheath and unsheathe when going into crouch would be a nice addition as well.

    Finally raise her view point while crouching. This is such a huge pet peave of mine as she can't even see over grass, it's very annoying.

    All she needs is an add-on pass for all the box related add-ons that aren't the Sketch and maybe some number tweaks for Ambush.
