Plague will Get Nerfs
Do you know why? Because of Solo-q. Pinhead, Freddy, Deathslinger nerfed for same reason.
Plague is fair and decent killer on my book but it is really annoying to play against her. Because i am solo player and always someone is cleansing against her. And this makes her powerful. I can see some nerfs for her in future sadly. I wish Solo-q survivors would have some brain.

She's really not that good. She still is reduced to m1 killer. She has some cool things she can do, but she's left having to attain downs with a basic m1. It will always be why she will not achieve a higher tier. Just like Legion.

I know. But Freddy, Pinhead and Deathslinger was high tier? They all were mid-tier killers and they all nerfed for Solo-q.
Problem with Plague against solo teams, always someone is going to cleanse. And you can not stop them. I really started hate to play against her because of my teammates.
BHVR will not look what happened with Plague, they will just look stats. And they will say Plague is destroying solo teams, maybe she is bit stronger than we planned.
They just keep nerfing Twins. What is Plague's chance?

How do you know that those Killers were nerfed because of Solo-Queue?
I mean, I might give you Pinhead with that, however, Engineers Fang was Bullshit all the time. And the Box-Add Ons got nerfed, because the Devs kept his ability to use Hoarder (and Franklins) with the Box, which was asked about. So they nerfed the second best thing, which were the Add-Ons. But I can get behind the idea that this was done because of Solo-Queue, because there is less coordination and multiple people or none are going to the Box.
But Deathslinger and Freddy...
Freddy-->Really, he was so easy to play. He was simply too strong for being that easy, since they reworked him, my cat could probably play Freddy and achieve a 4K. Stacking Slowdown and reverse-bloodlusting were just awful mechanics which made him very easy to play.
Deathslinger-->It does not matter if the team is Solo or SWF, him being able to fake his power and also shot without any time to react was not ok. SWFs might have a better chance against him, because they coordinate better and do the Gens more efficiently, but this goes for Solos as well. When you go against decent Solos and you play Deathslinger, they will push the Gens, because you cannot really go into Chases with that guy. So the only strategy is to do the Objective and leave the game as fast as possible.

That's literally all slinger had going for him. He went from C tier to F tier

but that doesn’t excuse bad game design. Legion was a bad killer but his gameplay was god awful. Slinger is not as bad he was better but ######### killers don’t excuse bad power design

I feel like Plague's power doesn't strictly come from solo queue, but rather bad decisionmaking in general - people cleansing when they're not fully sick, people cleansing when they're about to go touch a dirty gen or unhook a sick person. She's not like Pinhead where it's 100% a lack of information that enables her power; she's a little more like Hag, where people not knowing how to deal with the killer is the crux of the matter and comms just lets people self-correct and give instructions as long as one person knows what they're doing. I don't even think she's as bad as Hag in the solo queue department, because you have a bit more ability to protect yourself from your teammates' poor decisions (with Hag, you're just dead. Or they immediately get themselves killed and you're the only one up) and you can even roll with them (if your teammates are cleansing like mad, try and reset Plague's fountains to get something out of the fiasco.)
While I do love Plague, I'm pretty sure her popularity right now is a result of CoH and she'll fade a bit once it's less of a thorn in the sides of literally everybody else on the roster. Sincerely hope she's not in line for nerfs, especially not after those lovely QoL buffs that got rid of her laggy feel.

Thats because he was a very bad game design.

By that logic Trapper is going to get nerfed as well, considering he's kind of tough to face on solo without being able to call out trap locations.

this "dont cleanse" meta... yeah, infinite T3 Myers is OP; but granting the plague exposed while coughing and smoking in the far to get found easily on top is fine. Like everyone is a god looper.
And Plague just got buffed, so I don't see the point of this thread
1 -
So maybe if you know that you are nerfing already bad killer, buff everything else that killer has?
This is not supposed to be fixed in way that you just nerf him into oblivion...
1 -
I agree, slinger should have gotten buffed I won’t argue with that
2 -
So being able to hurt people with your power is "bullsh1t"...ok,now He requires nurse ish high effort for no reward at all,great....also,survivors always whining that a killer is "anti loop" but when they get a ######### 1v1 but a good 1v4 its unfair and boring.

Why create the guy and put himin the game in the first place

Yeah, as someone who plays Plague a lot, I am totally fine with survs not cleansing. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other as far as I am concerned. Have lots of corrupted pools is nice, but so is having four loud, exposed, broken survivors. I see survivors get really nasty with each other because some cleanse, but it really doesn't matter all that much, imo.
As far as the broader point, I think she is fair to use and to go against. And as others have pointed out, she just got a buff, so I don't see a nerf coming soon.

It wouldn't surprise me. She is extremely powerful in the current meta. I wouldn't even be mad, but instead they will nerf Pig. She is due for one.

Plague just got buffed... 0 chance she’ll get nerfed.

This is what we call Plagueception

Umm, she is in a better spot now, but nowhere near being too OP.
