Does Pig need a buff?
Your opinions below, please...

Statistically speaking, pig don't need a buff, just like pinhead and such she is an absolute newbie wrecker and can and will get free kills from all those juicy newbies.

Yes

so what about against better players, does she become a dummy to become clicked on?

All "nerf Pig" jokes aside, yes. She is in dire need of some buffs. Maybe even a rework.

I think her base power idea is fine, HOWEVER I believe it should have something to do with other survivors, as in the original SAW, Amanda was able to survive by finding the key in her drugged boyfriend. I just think so many powers are, "you're trapped, go open that chest and now you're safe until you get trapped again" (yet Amanda has a slightly more unique power, in exchange for limited traps, which are easily gotten off)

She does decent with an addon that makes all survivor to start with traps, beside that I honestly believes she will be a dummy 99%.

Her traps are in a good spot. Her stealth and ambush is kinda weak because when Behaviour designed the killer she had a 24 metre terror radius and they changed all 115% killers to 32 metres even though her stealth was balanced around this. I'd love to see combat straps made basekit or crouch speed increased from 90 to 95%.

I mean, the concept for that add-on is recycled for some killers like Dredge's Purple add-on (note that pig's is iri, and all traps aren't active, so no immediate pressure, unlike Dredge, where you won't know where it is), and Freddy's Red Paint Brush, which I also would say is better, as it ruins your vision, and makes you oblivious at the very beginning; Is it as good as the Dredge's add-on? No, but beggars can't be choosers.
On a side note, Pig and Freddy are pretty old when in comparison to Dredge. Of course in the Q&A, they hinted at another Freddy rework in the future, so.

I honestly believe pig's is strongest out of those, dredge or freddy can't actually "pressure" survivors, by that I mean "force their time to do some work", so this is truly a passive slowdown that survivor has to work on, at the (mostly) start of the match.
And pig video tape doesn't reduce trap count either, making pig to waste survivors time twice as much at most.

Yes... but they are just making a couple addons basekit
Crouching and standing up
TR reduction speed (this just needs to happen)
Faster Crouch movement speed
Faster Dash attack charge speed
Faster RBT animation
Longer Box Search time
But IMO the biggest thing I would want is to have her TR 28M or even 30M
Making the boxes not highlighted... and will only be highlighted once an RBT has been put on
I can't think of anything else

This pretty much sums up what I think. I hate the time it takes for her to stand up.
0 -
Not really. But I do wish part of the camera bug, the one where it's at standing height when crouched, was a normal part of her.
0 -
Please, no...Some how the devs will mess it up and make the FOV like the Blight when the Blight released.

No
The main issue with pig is her design still has rng elements that lead to inconsistent snowball and her power has a low skill ceiling. Her dash is cool but realistically unusable in most loops if the survivors has more than 2 braincells
By buffing her (specifically her traps) she still stays low skill but gets high reward for passive slowdown that’s applied through just playing normally.
Same issue as pinhead really. Her inherently passive slowdown leads to her needing a weaker active power which ends up making things less fun for both sides in the long run

Pig is the killer I've picked to main, and I've watched numerous guides and gameplay videos from high level Pig mains about her.
The general consesus is her traps are perfectly fine as is. The 3 jigsaw box average makes her reverse bear traps reasonably consistent in their effect on game slow down. The only thing she actually needs is improvements in chase and map traversal.
- Faster crouched movement speed (the recent addon buff for it is very nice)
- Faster crouch and stand up speeds
- Possibly a means of breaking pallets when using her ambush
These are the more common things cited to improve upon her...
