Pig Suggestions/Discussion?
I started playing Pig again, since she got some addon changes and I was always keen on Pigs playstyle and her character, since I liked Saw 1 a lot but,
I know it's a giant joke around, talking about how Pig is neglected by the team and all of that, but I'm a bit curious to know what exactly could be done with Pig to make her a more viable killer? Only thing I've been able to muster up myself, is removing the roar on the ambush, or at least changing how the ambush works in general.
Not much of an "ambush" when you just announce your entire location to the survivor. I would love if the traps were not as RNG related, but this is something I don't really think can be fixed given the premise of the power itself.
I've gotten to Gold III with Pig, and it's becoming increasingly harder to play her at this higher MMR, not that high MMR is even required to loop her well. My main problem is when survivors just run from loops when I crouch, which is the right play for them to make, just unfortunate that Pig is in the state she is in at the moment.
I'm all ears to what you all think though. Tips would be nice as well.

I used to play her a bit, back when RNG mori headtraps were a thing. Now I have played pig only a few times for AFK pig.
I think if you were gonna play her seriously, the best addons outside her iri's are probably now combat straps + workshop grease. Those will actually allow you to use the ambush attack in a chase at short loops.
Discordance, whispers, or some other sort of tracking perk is useful to actually use her stealth effectively instead of wasting a ton of time crouching around. I always run a chase perk or two as well, she needs it.

That is a good site to get some perk ideas that may suite your playstyle.

There was an idea (I think from Otz) to make Traps work like this: Each Trap has a different number of Attempts. One Trap will go away on the first try, one on the second, one on the third and one on the forth. This would still be RNG on the Survivor-Side, but the Pig would have a guaranted value of 10 Box Searchers (or 2,5 per Trap on average). However, to do this, something would need to be done about AFK-PIg, because otherwise one Survivor will always die by default.
Regarding the crouch: Her stealth is actually quite good. However, you need to invest Perks into it, so Whispers and Monitor&Abuse and you have quite a good use of her Stealth-Ability. Would be better if she would have 28m-Terror Radius like she used to have, but eh.
@Topic:
Pig needs some Love to her Dash and Stealth. Still, sadly. The Add On-Pass helped her a lot, but IMO too many Add Ons still focus on her Traps and not much love is given to the rest of her Kit.

Yeah, this is what I’ve said before too - each trap should require a certain number of searches rather than needing a certain box. Then you can easily solve AFK pig by adding a 5th box (since no trap will require more than 4), since she can’t camp two boxes simultaneously.
Then with the RNG aspect of her power made more consistent, we can make the other aspects of Pig stronger. I also agree with her getting her 28m TR back.
