Secret Nerf to The Plague?

Anyone else having trouble playing The Plague? I can’t get one sacrifice for the life of me, let alone actually obtain her adept achievement. I swear I have a higher kill rate as The Nightmare. Am I the only one who thinks she’s f*cking useless? I didn’t have this much trouble with her in the PTB.

EDIT: Somone commented that there was an unannounced nerf to The Plague. That explains it.

    If you practiced during the PTB, they did an (unannounced?) nerf of her between play and release, which was very much hated because she was not considered overpowered. However, she slows much more while charging and has a STUPIDLY high cooldown after vomiting, as she will even have her weapon out for a quarter second before she can swing.

    This hard nerf ######### up people who practiced during PTB, and since I didn't see an announcement, I am guessing most didn't notice the change until later. But yeah, she was like, right below Myers in power, and now is right around Trapper or Pig.

    Thank goodness it’s not just me. I did notice that she feels a bit different from the PTB. She seems less fluid, more limited. Guess I’m not going crazy, thank God.

    It wasn't unannounced, it was written in the patch notes.

    It was. Weirdly put into its own separate section all at the way at the bottom.

    I heard that her puck sometime struggled to connect to survivors in the live version.

    Fortunately Devs got a PTB to prevent this kind of thing to happen !


    ...wait
