    This couldn't be any more wrong than it is. She needs BUFFS not nerfs. If she feels too strong it's a learn to play issue. Once you get high rank she is very weak. If you are getting hit by her absolutely worthless lunge then you're bad. Her lunge is so bad it isn't even worth using unless you're against rank 20 idiots.
    Only thing you got right is about her traps being too weak as well.

    I play pig as my killer main as of right now and she's pretty average. They could buff her traps by making them go off as soon as you get off the hook because in a swf or without a gen popped, her traps are useless. Her traps are only good for end game because you can't escape with them on.

    Didn't the devs confirm the roar is bugged and starts earlier than it should? 

    Anyway, I agree somewhat. Perhaps the RBT needs a passive debuff to the survivor, so as to give incentive to the killer to find and chase other survivors. Perhaps after getting it off, the survivor has a 60 (I thought 90 but that may be too much) second, 20% reduction to repair, healing, cleansing speed. And also reducing the base timer to 2 minutes. Making it overall more rewarding to find and chase other survivors. It slows the game down a bit more, and allows survivors a better chance if getting the RBT off as they aren't being chased but shortens the amount of active time of the RBT.

    If anything the Pig needs a straight buff. Increasing the ambush attack duration by like .5 seconds or adding a couple seconds to search jigsaw boxes would be nice.

    Yeah i think her traps are way to long, a normal pig game and you lose one with a helmet it's almost a guaranteed escape i find

    The Pig is pretty balanced, her itty bitty lnife doesn’t need THAT far of a lunge though. Honestly her lunge should be somewhere in between Tier 1 and Tier 2 Myers. I usually die against the Pig because her playstyle is almost like you HAVE to tunnel survivors and put a bear trap on their head. I think she should be slightly slower than she is currently (maybe the Hag’s movement speed?) and her lunge shouldn't be as far as it is, but she is one of the most balanced killers.

    You’re suggesting nerfs to a killer that is just a little better than Trapper? Lol ok.

    I agree she should be a little slower if she has that long lunge, just like the Hag. Utilize her traps, this where some interesting changes to Amanda could make her better and make it more balanced

    Amush is all about approach. Even then I'm currently at a zero pip rank 4 and it's tricky. I'm generally able to get brutal killer or merciless. The only time I was outright shot stomped was against three last second BNP claudettes that played a new moon and that were a tad too organized, finding everything I had on map in moments. Can't prove hacks but it was just a little too synchronized.

    But yeah I've had some hard fought battles that would've been over if it weren't for Amanda's kit.

    I honestly think pig is balanced, if she tunnels 1 survivor that's typically all she gets. You have to treat her chases 1st part nurse with her lunge, then just loop her. Although I think she's at a weaker state than Doc, but she's still at the same level.

    She's weak, tunnel? Are you serious?

    Wraith is the best killer for tunneling, use the 12m-addon and you can find survivors in no time, he also have bloodhound build into his kit so it's near impossible to lose a survivor, best killer for camping for sure

    Am I the only person who was kinda expecting more? Like don’t get me wrong she’s not bad but I honestly thought she was going to have a perk called game over which allowed her to close the gate and the hatch like John Kramer did at the end of saw and he said GAME OVER! And I also thought she would’ve had an ultra rare add on that made all the survivors start with bear traps on their heads and they either couldn’t interact with the jigsaw boxes or they wouldn’t spawn until the last generator was done and the timers would start and the draw backs were she has no traps and maybe not let her see where the boxes are?

    I've said this a few times on the forums now but I dont mind repeating myself. Initially yes I was expecting more but then I realized the true purpose of the  reverse bear traps: they're not meant to kill they're meant to slow and deter. The problem a lot of people have is they attempt to blow through their traps right off and don't have anything to deter people from leaving when the exit gates happen. You've got to be slow and methodical just like Jigsaw was and how Amanda was supposed to be.

    Why would she have reduce speed she doesn't really have anything to compensate for it Hag has teleportation, Huntress has ranged attacks and Nurse has blinks.

    I don't find the pig to be an op killer. She's balanced, idk why you say that, she have low map control and all she have its her traps, because the dash attack is easy to avoid and hard to use.

    It's not very hard to take off the trap and if she's into tunneling you then try to lose her by not going to the nearest jigsaw box from the hook you were.

    I just think she needs tweaking to make her better
