Buff Pig SERIOUSLY

I had a 4k last game, where two people had their trap activated after 1st gen (after like 2 mins), the game lastet around 10 mins and they did 3 gens and then went to deactivate their traps and still got them off firs try

A good change might be a shorter timer or survivors need to search at least 2-3 boxes so they dont wait 2 mins and just get it off after doing gens.

    Yeah it's fustrating when the survs get it off first try, but it is part of the RNG of her traps. She has two add-ons that effect the trap countdown, one that shaves off 30sec and another that adds on 30sec for some strange reason. I'd say Piggy needs her add-ons shown some love more than anything about her actual kit.

    From what I hear many long term pig mains DON'T want a garuanteed way o fgetting it off after 2-3 boxes as the times where its on the 4-5th, while rare, makes her considerably stronger.

    Personally I think her bear traps have always been fine. It's the end game changes that made her weaker.

    I play pig sometimes.

    She has 0 gen pressure.

    Trapa are useless because by time they activate most are done.

    Traps are pointless if there is only 1 gen remaining.

    Amush is useless again becuse of the time it takes to attack with it.



    Her entire arsenal is good only in brown and maybe green ranked lobbies. Once you hit purple or red lobbies she's useless unlesss and not worth playing.

    You literally made a new account just to tell Developers to buff the Pig?

    Anyways Pig needs some small buffs, like making her add-ons compliment her play style and lessen the RNG of her Jigsaw Boxes, I really like the idea from Otz's video, where each RBT has set amount of searches before you can take it off, also making her stealth more useful would also be nice.

    How to people get their traps off right away? For me it's ALWAYS the last one. Haven't broken that streak yet

    It's the curse of the Pig, when you're playing as her, every Survivor gets their RBT off first try, when you play against her (especially solo q) it's always the last box.

    They get it off first try because you can't see them. It's the same situation as mindbreaker. You're getting a benefit from it. You just can't see it so it seems like ti doesn't exist.

    I was a Pig main for a long time and I got to Rank 1 using almost strictly Pig. I'd say that is not true about when she's a bad killer. Her main problem is the rng rarely goes the way the Pig player wants it/Pig's for some reason like to go back after the person with the trap.

    If am crouched and i know someone is on a gen. Do you really think i try an ambush attack? No. I stand up and hit them. Why? Because a crouched attack does same as a standard hit. Missing an ambush hit wases more time.

    Ambush shiuld have been a one shot down because it's an attack that isn't worth using.

    Ttaps should auto start in 10 seconds and not waited for gens.

    Survivors with a trap on should not bw able to exit through the gates or exit the hatch. It instead should kill them instead of allowing them to exit.


    Should be harder skill check. Time to check and more boxes in each map etc.

    If you actually know how to play the game and how it works.. the pig has so much gen pressure, here's why:

    The RBT aren't usually used to kill survivors, sure there's a chance, but its most consistent use is gen pressure.

    You down a guy, place a trap, they get unhooked. Now what will they do? A gen or do they try to take it off? They try and take it off.

    You're pretty unlucky if all 4 survivors get their traps off first try, but you always need to consider that.

    But in normal scenarios.. one survivor has to, let's say try 3/4 times? They waste 36/48 seconds on searching, + the time it took them to walk, that's an INSANE amount of time that they don't do gens, bones, heal, etc... So how is there no gen pressure on The Pig?


    The ambush in some scenarios is useless of course, but that doesn't mean her ambush is unviable.

    An ambush can shorten a chase by alot, by using it around a loop, if you're lucky around a pallet, youy ambush, you probably got a hit, which usually takes longer by trying to just M1.

    Ambush also doesn't waste stacks of STBFL when using on obsession.

    Ambush can give survivors little time to react if you run addons, and it can come out of no where.

    I HIGHLY disagree making it insta downable, it also just doesn't make sense why it could, it's an easy to hit power if you're in the open, and combining it with stealth with no things to slow it more down (Like GF with his marking) is just overpowered.

    Of course she could use a QoL update like many killers nowadays, but she is in no condition in need of a "massive buff".
