The Pig Full Rework

TheTrueLynX

Posted this to Reddit but I might as well put my ideas here as well.

With all the things with this SAW event going on, I decided to make a list of things I'd like changed for The Pig. Everyone can agree she is on the weaker side, and if the devs ever decide to give her a Freddy style rework or really any rework at all, these are my suggestions.

Perks

-First I want to say I think her perks are fine, sure you could argue some buffs for some of them but they aren't the main problem with her kit and I think they work just fine.

Basekit

Pig Terror Radius - decrease from 32 to 28 or 24

Pig Crouch Speed - increase from 3.6 to 3.8

Transition To / From Crouching - decrease from 1.3s to .8s

Ambush Dash Charge Time - decrease from 0.75s to 0.6

Ambush Dash Missed Hit Cooldown - increase from 2 seconds to 3 seconds

Jigsaw Box Search Time - increase from 12s to 13s

Jigsaw Box Skill Checks - Slightly Smaller Skill Check Zones (Jigsaw Box Skill Checks Should Also Be Triggered & Affected By Perks)

Reverse Bear Trap Death Timer - Decrease from 2:30 to 2:15

Addons

Workshop Grease - Replace with Amanda's Accessory - Reverse Beartrap timers are decreased by 20%. When Active Reverse Beartraps reach the end of their timer, confetti pops out of them. Reverse beartraps do not kill the survivor. Gain 100% more Blood Points in the deviousness category.

Combat Straps - Slightly Increase Crouch Movement Speed

Utility Blades - When a survivor removes a Reverse Bear Trap they suffer from the hemorrhage status effect for 60 seconds even while healthy

Razor Wires - Moderately increases Jigsaw Box Skill Check trigger odds. Slightly increase regression penalty of all failed Skill Checks while the trap is on your head

Last Will - Available Reverse Bear Traps increased by 1. Slightly reduce Reverse Bear Trap setting time

Face Mask - Survivors caught in a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the Blindness and breath 50% louder

Slow-Release Toxin - Survivors that remove an inactive Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the Broken Status Effect for 60 seconds

Rusty Attachments - Survivors that remove a Reverse Bear Trap on their first or second try suffer from the Exhaustion Status Effect for 60 seconds

Interlocking Razor - Fully interacting with a Jigsaw Box causes the Deep Wound Status Effect. -1 Jigsaw Box on the map.

Bag of Gears - Slightly increases Jigsaw Box Search time. Moderately increase Skill Check trigger odds when searching a Jigsaw Box.

Tampered Timer - Survivors cannot see their death timer. The Pig can see survivors death timers. Active Reverse Bear Traps beep 50% louder

Crate of Gears - Moderately increases Jigsaw Box Search time. Moderately increase Skill Check trigger odds when searching a Jigsaw Box. Jigsaw Boxes don't give Great Skill Checks.

Amanda's Secret - Survivors caught in a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect. Removing a Reverse Bear Trap has a chance of giving either Blindness, Oblivious, Mangled, or Hemorrhage for 60 seconds

Rule Set No.2 - Combine with the effects of the current unchanged Amanda's Secret - (Disables the Survivors' ability to see the Auras of Jigsaw Boxes until their Reverse Bear Trap is activated. Gain a notification when a Survivor removes a Reverse Bear Trap. Auras of Survivors removing a Reverse Bear Trap are revealed to The Pig for 6 seconds. Disables The Pig's ability to see the Auras of Jigsaw Boxes.)

Amanda's Letter - When crouched, Auras of Survivors within 12 meters are revealed to The Pig. Available Reverse Bear Traps reduced by 3. Available Jigsaw Boxes reduced by 2. Survivors caught in a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the Incapacitated Status Effect.

I've seen a lot of posts on these forums on ways to rework pig, but this is one of the only ones I 100% agree with. A lot of people say her RNG should be more consistent. I've never agreed with this idea. I personally think having killers with RNG aspects to their powers makes them more interesting and helps make games more exciting. Plus the RNG on pig is really consistent with the themes of the SAW films and makes her a faithful adaptation. Instead, the pig's base stats, such as her crouch speed and terror radius, should be buffed to improve her non-RNG dependent strengths. This will compensate for the fact that a large part of her power is RNG dependent. This gives players a way to still win even if they get bad RNG and survivors get the bear traps off quickly, while also not making pig too overpowered if the pig player gets good RNG. I seriously hope more people take notice of concepts like yours and give my girl Amanda the buff she deserves. I want playing her to be a less inconsistent and frustrating experience.

The only thing I don't agree with is the massive buff to her crouching/standing up speed. Pig's crouch is not Ghostface's crouch, it actually gives you an undetectable status effect and a dash ability to use. Being able to crouch that fast will mean her ambush is no longer only used strategically, but can literally be used in a chase to catch up faster.

I thought of that too, that's one of the reasons I put "Ambush Dash Missed Hit Cooldown - increase from 2 seconds to 3 seconds"

Meaning you wouldn't be able to do that

Go try to play Ghostface, when you have to crouch all the time. It is terrible. You don't see anything on maps with grass, having it separate is way better, so I wouldn't mind, if they buff pig's crouch.

But if you want to buff crouch this much, then Terror Radius shouldn't be changed. You would make Whispers way too good.

I like that crouch would be better and easier to use, but you will also get punished more, if you fail.

If they ever rework pig, then I hope they will not touch oink sound for ambush. It is best thing she does.
