    He is getting better with the killer now. Saying she is mid to top tier.

    Why need corrupted purge if they're all broken and sick, can't heal so you're 1 shot.


    It's no different than going against a Trapper, M1 Billy, Pig, etc................. except WOW THEYRE INJURED AND CANT HEAL

    It's the same thing with Legion, just stay injured and rush generators. Now, the Plague is going to suffer from this as well because survivors will stay injured and rush generators with the benefit of denying her Corrupted Purge.


    I know what I'm talking, it's the SAME EXACT thing that's happening with Legion. Do you see it or should use a scenario?

    Another Youtuber/Streamer calling a Killer weak the day they’re released? I’m shocked.

    If that keeps happening to you then take Thanatophobia, they get a 24% debuff all game. Plus now everyone only needs 1 hit to go down.

    However I'm still yet to see these elusive teams that stay injured all game.

    I think she's mid tier with potential.

    As we have only had a few number of games with her, we have a lot yet to be seen, figure out and improve. Also since it's only in the PTB, she has the potential to gain nerfs or buffs. We will have to wait and see.

    Currently though, I place her in mid tier. Similar to Clown, I find myself enjoying the character, and while not overwhelmingly powerful like Billy or Nurse, The Plague is no slouch and can pull her share.

    She's 115% ms not 110%


    I don't see where you're going with this

  • twistedmonkey
    twistedmonkey Member Posts: 4,293

    Not quite as the plague is a 115% killer while the legion is 110% so she is better at the M1 game.

    Think about corruption as the pigs rbt's it's a second stage power but it's not the main one.

    I don't think she's weak, but her weaknesses are easy to exploit.

    Who cares what he thinks. Form your own damn opinions instead of sitting there going "He don't like it so I don't like it". Form an opinion on your own instead of having other people influence your decisions.

    His opinion has changed.

    i dont think the sickness is enough of a hinderence for survivors, but i do not think she is weak. id say she is somewhere in mid-tier... id say somewhere around the doc.

  • TeambossFloze
    TeambossFloze Member Posts: 1,260

    Strange he has totally switched his opinion and thinks she is mid/high tier now

  • The_Crusader
    The_Crusader Member Posts: 3,688

    Knowing tru3 by next week he'll be saying she's ######### again.

  • thesuicidefox

    I bet it was only after he discovered you didn't need to hold the power to use it. He was doing that for a while.

  • TeambossFloze
    TeambossFloze Member Posts: 1,260

    Its important to have the ability to change your opinion though - life lesson right there

  • Eveline
    Eveline Member Posts: 2,340

    Holding power most of the time is actually better especially with the faster movement add on. Not holding it slows you down. And he is making them broken then downs them. It works because they don't get the speed boost like when you normally hit them.

    In case anyone hasn't said, he's completely changed his mind now that he's figured her out. I think he reckons she's high tier

    [Edit: literally the guys above me are talking about it. BE PERCEPTIVE MINE, CHRIST]

  • The_Crusader
    The_Crusader Member Posts: 3,688

    To be fair he's on stream all day throwing out opinions.

    He kind of needs to say what's on his mind at the time. He can't just say nothing. That does lead to people taking first impressions as gospel though.

    Personally I'm withholding judgement until I've played her more.

  • OrionsFury4789
    OrionsFury4789 Member Posts: 637

    It's not the same , this killer has a increased movement speed and can make multiple survivors broken basically not able to heal unless they choose to go to a fountain and if they don't go it's not like legion where he almost needs his power to stay in chase , she can catch the survivors and m1 just like the trapper. I personally think legion is a strong killer in the right hands and if you believe not then why do all these people DC as soon as they find out it's legion?

  • SmokePotion
    SmokePotion Member Posts: 1,089

    you arent watching todays stream.

    You can't get a good estimate for a killer in a day, and he says so every killer.

    He just said on stream his opinion of her went from a 3 (bad) to like 7 or 8 (good).

    She takes some knowledge, but she's ok. I still think she needs more tweaks.

  • The_Crusader
    The_Crusader Member Posts: 3,688

    It's cool that tru3 has found his strategy. Barf until broken and then hit. If that works for him cool.

    I've seen noob3's recent video though, and others have been applying this strategy. They barf on them and let them go. The survivors cleanse and they constantly use the corrupted purge to down. Looks like people are having pretty good success with this tactic too.

    Why do we keep seeing posts about what TruTalent thinks!! Who cares

  • HatCreature
    HatCreature Member Posts: 3,298

    I think the most accurate stance on her strength is that if you play her straightforward, in your face with Vomit and hit them when they're Broken, she's strong.

    If you play her the way the game presents her with spreading the sickness to as many people, then she's weak. She can't be played well the way she should be played which is ridiculous.

    Keep in mind, this is a TEST build, not the finished product. People cant seem to grasp this concept.

  • Carpemortum
    Carpemortum Member Posts: 4,506

    I think the default "reset them all once they're all tainted at once" is a bit much. I like the idea of passing on an upgrade to keep the survivors weak. Maybe if it gets to one pure, and someone uses it, it simply resets a single fountain elsewhere. Keeps them from being completely screwed, but also let's her keep up some pressure.

    Yes, but rushing to judgement, to only rush to a different opinion on a whim isnt the same as being open minded to alternatives.

    Alot of people saying they don't care about his opinion but then berate the guy. Seriously? Abit toxic guys! He didn't make any conclusive decisions on his stream he thought she may be weak but still hadn't figured her out yet and then after figuring her out is enjoying her and is giving high praise. He's a streamer, just a guy playing a game saying what he thinks it's not as if he made a highly edited video saying plague is trash or anything he was just spitballing his thoughts.

    Oh dear. This doesn't fit the killer main narrative, better shut this thread down.

    NOED doesn't work with any killers power (hatchets, frenzy, traps, gas bottles) So I thought it would have been known it wouldn't have worked for the Purge.

    No... Really????

    He changed his mind?

    Almost like first reactions are garbage when you don't know how to play a character in videogame...

  • MhhBurgers
    MhhBurgers Member Posts: 1,758

    Let's say I made a character that has 115% movement speed and has no TR but a lullaby, it takes 7 seconds before you can attack a survivor while during that time they can do what they want. Other than that he's a m1 killer with a maphack on survivors he's already found but they can wake up easily.


    It doesn't take a genius to know that this would be ######### in comparison to billy/huntress/nurse


    Same for the Plague, her M2 basically takes pressure off of survivors by healing them in 6 seconds, to offset this she turns into a temporary huntress that is even more loopable once she goes to one of these corrupted fountains that could be faaar away, survivors will also get a notification to hide while she is corrupted or go to the nearest jungle gym. pair that with her 32m terror radius.


    It doesn't take a genius to know that her concept sucks, they just need to remove the healing from the wells and make the puking louder.

  • Mc_Harty
    Mc_Harty Member Posts: 3,293

    Her M2 either makes the survivor get one shot or makes her down them faster then huntress. You don't have to go halfway across the map to pick up your buff. Keep infecting them and keep tabs on where the fountains are. She's incredible easy to master phase one but phase 2 requires a lot more map aweness.


    Also jungle gyms? Did you really list that as a counter to her leathal vomit? ######### lol. You have no idea what you're talking about.

  • HURRI_KAIN
    HURRI_KAIN Member Posts: 358

    He said the same thing about Legion, before he realized how strong he is. Fact is, she is strong, very strong, ranks right up with spirit and nurse. Noone has played with her much yet. She is a ranged killer with fast speed. There's a reason huntress doesn't have 115% speed, giving that kind of speed to a ranged killer is OP. This killer has a fast ranged effect AOE, and can effectively be a one shot. Don't even need the power up if you give them broken status in a chase. There is literally no counterplay to Plague, except, stay away, don't get found, and don't even be in her killer radius. Oh,.. and hope that you don't have to interact with something that is infected. I do like the new map.

    Head on -Much needed, but shouldn't be exhaustion perk, there's already a 3 second requirement before it can be used.

    Corrupt intervention- creative and was probably needed.

    Dark devotion is a fun addition to the game.

    Infectious fright, - very strong.

    Solidarity - A nice addition after the healing nerf.

    Poised - should also block bitter murmur. Blocking scratch marks alone, really just makes it useful against nurse, or sometimes hillbilly or hag.

    PS. Deep wound status still needs to stop countdown while in terror radius. It breaks legion. - It should've never been added to borrowed time.

    Yeah the last video he uploaded last night has him saying that he finally figured out how the Plague was supposed to be played. He changed his mind about her being weak, though admitted (as most have) that the fountain Insta-heals needed to go

  • HURRI_KAIN
    HURRI_KAIN Member Posts: 358

    He also said the same thing about Spirit being weak, now he calls her the 2nd best. I'm calling it now, as is, she rivals the top tier killers.

  • Eveline
    Eveline Member Posts: 2,340

    I don't think she is good as nurse or spirit. For start, she can't move fast like them.

  • Warlock_2020
    Warlock_2020 Member Posts: 1,867

    True is a bit too biased for me. I've only played her twice, so I can't say one way or the other, but weak is not my first impression. Not OP either, but not weak. True thinks everyone is weak if they can't shut down survivors within 2 gens. He is getting worse in his crankiness as time goes on. Soon, he'll be just like Tyde.

  • MhhBurgers
    MhhBurgers Member Posts: 1,758

    This is the first killer that has an ability that takes pressure of survivors atm. She is objectivly weak.

  • The_Crusader
    The_Crusader Member Posts: 3,688

    Know what would be nice? If I could try her out without ######### coldwind coming up every time.

    I don't care how good she is when it's immersed claudettes on rotten fields. Cant kill what you can't see.
