Some fair Pig changes

Hello guys. As u know many killers got some small rework or changes during last months. We don't have to doubt that Pig is not a very strong killer and playing her against good survivors can be punishment. Overall here I came with a suggestions on some changes to her. It's not drastic, but would help her and make her more balanced. I will write about no-power changes, power changes and add on changes. Pls leave me you comments and opinions. Any critic is welcomed.

No power changes:

  • Decrease Pig's TR to 24m instead of 32 to help her use her stealth without need of a perk. (Most Pig mains run Whispers and MaA, what's in my opinion a waste of perk slots for a one component of her power)
  • Remove the blade sounds when she's crouching/uncrouching. (Experienced survivors will know according to boxes what to expect and will pay attention).

Power - crouching/dash:

  • Increase the crouch movement speed to 3.8 from 3.6 (This might sound like a not big change, but overall you will cover larger area in shorter time and survivors will be prevented to being followed with active trap. The same speed as survivors might be abused imo).
  • Decrease her TR fade and appear from 4s to 3s.
  • Increase the dash duration so the Pig can cover 20m instead of 12. (Pig can choose either to use her ambush on loops or not, but there are big amount of tiles you can't dash over and u will have to mind game it, what's a big waste of times with experienced survivors.)
  • Increase the movement speed when Pig charges her ambush attack to 3.0m/s (what may allow her to move slightly faster when deciding whether use her power or not and choose a direction etc...)
  • Increases the default charge speed of ambush by 25 %.
  • Give Pig ability to destroy dropped pallets while she's using her power. (similiar to Blight's changes)
  • Ambush cooldown can be reduced with perk Save the best for last. (The cooldown is long and survivor has more distance - and yeah... Pig is m1 killer).

Power - RBTs:

  • Each time survivor is trapped in the RBT, there will be one box's aura highlited at a time, the furthest one. (similiar to Freddy's clocks)
  • Each time survivor is searching a Jigsaw box, all remaining Jigsaw boxes auras will be highlited for the duration.
  • After search the furthest box aura stays highlited.
  • Pig starts the match with 2 RBTs. For each generator completed she will gain a 2 extra RBTs.
  • Jigsaw boxes no longer have skill checks.
  • Default timer is increased to 3mins.
  • New status effect RESURGENCE. Survivor will be immune to Pig's RBT for 1min after removing RBT. (That means that u can't put a multiple RBT on same survivors in a short duration.)

Add ons changes:

Amanda's letter: Remove's the secondary RBT power and allows Pig to see survivors within 20m while crouching. (1RBT and 2 boxes are useless for this ultra rare add ons imo).

Rules set no2: Trap is activated when the survivor is saved from the hook.

Amanda's secret: While crouching, you see auras of survivors within 6m. (imo might be a big help while using your ambush but don't want to choose Amanda's letter add on and remove your secondary power).

Crate of gears: Moderately increases the distance between Jigsaw boxes, moderatly decreases time it takes to put RBT on survivor.

Jigsaw's sketch: good add on, no rework needed.

Tempered timer: good add on as well. (-30s, from 3mins to 2,5min)

Bag of gears: Slightly increases the distance between Jigsaw boxes, slightly decreases time it takes to put RBT on survivor.

Interlocking razors: Increases search time by 4s. (Very rare)

Jigsaw's annotated plan: good add on. no rework needed.

Rusty attachments: When survivors with RBT search Jigsaw boxes all injured survivors suffer from mangled status effects for the duration.

Slow release toxic: When survivors with RBT search Jigsaw boxes all untrapped survivors suffer from exhausted effect for the duration.

Face mask: When searching Jigsaw boxes, there is only one other Jigsaw box aura revealed.

Last will: After successfull land of dash attack the deep wound status effect is applied.

Razor wires: Disable survivor to interact with the Jigsaw boxes for 6s after he cancelled the search progress.

Utility blades: Survivor in RBT suffer from 8 % debuff to action speeds, also is applied to searching Jigsaw boxes.

Video tape: good add on.

Combat straps: not bad add on at all for brown one, but may decrease the time it takes to crouch from -0.3s to -0.55s. But not extremely needed change imo).

John's medical file: good add on.

Shattered syringe: good add on.

Workshop grease: After cancelling search action survivor is unable to search a box for 3s.


Please give me your opinions and critics. Thanks for your attention. Give Piggy some love.
