The plague nerf :(

Oh damn the whining is real.

Riveting revelations. Excellent addition to the post. Gonna print this out and put it on my fridge.

No. It's not. Let's put it this way. You have absolutely no idea what they did to The Plague prior to the public test. They could have nerfed and/or buffed her a 100 times in a 100 different ways. But you don't know and likely never will know what was tested. It's like the old saying goes "if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
If you never played the Plague on the PTB, was she ever nerfed? That is the point I'm making here. Pretend that you didn't play her on the test server and judge her purely from the state she is in currently. What would you think of her? I think she's great just the way she is. I also didn't play on the test server so I don't have a tainted view either.

Current state? She's trash. Your point literally is nonsensical. I don't know what you're trying to do, but I don't care that you like her. That doesn't make her strong. Also, if she was nerfed after the PTB, it doesn't matter if you played her or not, she was nerfed.

Exposed would fix the issue of injured survivors being rewarded by getting sick without changing anything else. Thus making it better to spread out the sickness without actually messing with her specific dynamic in any other situation. It's a way to avoid giving free heals, dealing free damage or being useless and doing nothing at all.

Nurse and Billy are fine as is....... MAYBE and this is a very big maybe! they both we'll need to be toned down when ever the objective gets fixed but this isn't about them this is about the fact that they put out what was a balanced killer right out of the gate and then toned her down for whatever reason..... she's still okay and players will find other ways to play her........ I still applaud the devs for their hardwork!

If it exposed, they wouldn't be damaged, so the fountains would still in essence heal them.

However right now you can be injured and then get sick on purpose to heal faster

I've noticed everyone has went back to playing viable killers 2 days after the DLC has dropped. Since then i haven't had a single Plague game.
I'm unsure why mediocre killers have to be nerfed while you still have high tier killers that still rule the game, yet you won't touch them.
Please learn to balance killers instead of bowing to the will of the community.

"Yup, let me go for the fountain across the map in no-man's land so I can get 30s of Corrupt Purge. Surely that won't bite me in the ass while they do gens safely on the other side. "Instaheal is necessary." That's a lulsworthy comment. Broken doesn't stop you from playing the game or looping. A survivor doesn't get punished for going out of their way to get a fountain cuz they have 3 other survivors doing their job while they heal.
Corrupt stops looping? In what universe? Let me know how you're puking around windows, jungle gyms, the shack, and tall walls. Cuz clearly you're on a whole 'nother level or in an alternate dimension.\
I do agree her lunge is off, but I'm not sure if that's just an animation issue, or yea."
Which is why you infect as many Survivors as possible.
And dunno about you, but I don't encounter this as much with Plague. Survivors tend to use the closest fountains.
And are you seriously telling me that a small walk to a fountain causes entire gens to be done? How long are you taking to get to a fountain with Corrupt? If it's across the map, don't go there. Infect and infect and infect. Survivors WILL have to use fountains close to you sooner or later.
BTW, if Survivors keep returning to gens after you break them too soon, break the gen then infect it. If a Survivor touches a gen to stop the break, they get infected, causing them to need to find and use a fountain. And you can see them get infected, letting you know that they are there. If they respect the infection, that gives you time to get Corrupt or damage another gen.
Broken is a threat if Plague catches up to you or she gets Corrupt. She WILL catch up, elite Survivors at the highest form of play aren't as common as you think. And you also vomit and emit a green odor that makes you easy to see and hear. It's not JUST Broken that is worrisome, stealth is useless if you're fully infected.
And... that's the point? You WANT them to heal, they're focused on healing instead of doing gens. Which stalls the game out, buying more time, applying pressure and increasing the chances of getting a down. And you should be applying pressure on the other Survivors, not tunneling someone who is trying to use a fountain.
Oh really? So, you're saying Corrupt is useless on Autohaven? With all of the loops with safe pallets that you need Nurse or Huntress to bypass? Autohaven is Looper City, Plague forces Survivors to not use the middle loops. Plague is extremely tall for a reason, it's so she can puke easily.
… You know you can throw up over vaults, right? Like, you can hit a Survivor who is vaulting...
Jungle gyms and tall walls also don't have ceilings, you might be able to vomit OVER it.
Shack is one of the only valid points you have here, but you can just chase them until you make them use the godpallet (minor victory) or take a unsafe vault which you can then punish with Corrupt.
The problem with her lunge is that, because her main weapon is a incense burner, it's small and doesn't have enough range. (How does a incense burner have the same level of effect as a axe, anyways?)
If the devs let Plague use up more of the chain for longer range, it might be a bit nicer and more consistent. But I believe the devs want you to aim for Corrupt when it comes to dealing damage if you play Plague.

They made it so while charging you don't move that slow. I just use it in the moment.

She's a ######### tier killer now, I do better with legion without Frank's or with Freddy with no perks, at least they don't have a 32m terror radius as basically a loopable basekiller.

I knew they’d nerf her to death.

You just want her weaker. She was barely great when it was an instant-on ability (which I think it should be, anyway- vile if not corrupt), and you want her greatest strength turned into a weakness.
Somehow, you think you’re being balanced, which is the most pathetic part.

The insta heal will power you up at a level of god. Try to drink corrupted

I've seen plenty of people still playing Plague and others aren't because dailies, farming BP on more decked out toons.

No one's playing Plague cuz she's terrible. Has awful point gains. Not to mention gens have been popping so fast, it's impossible to even play the game. Find someone, down them quickly, 3 gens pop. "JuSt PaTroL tHe GeNs".

I'm pretty sure they worded it wrong it just isnt that slow anymore when charging it but your still slowed.
