How do you feel about Plague?
I feel like she could be a really good Killer however that speed nerf really hurt her a lot. I don't think it was necessary but if they keep it they should give her a buff to Vile Purge. Either make Vile Purge somehow break infected pallets (maybe if an infected pallet is vaulted 3 times it gets destroyed) or make it so that running survivors gain infection faster than the other interactions.

I have alot of fun playing the plague. Had some good games and some not so good games, but to be fair i dont have the perks i wanted to use and that makes a big difference later.
I think she is fine as she is now, a solid mid tier killer.

Boring.
Such a complex Power won't allow for a lot of variety.

Sorry but in my opinion what I do is I run the plague around a wall 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times before she either m1s me or finally manages to hit me with sickness and while that is happening I will be thinking about how the devs said they only want to make fun killers.

To some extent I feel she is over-designed. She could have worked with just the sickness part and none of that fountain back and forth nonsense.
The Plague we've got is not weak, but sort of complicated to learn.

I know she is not as bad as I feel she is, but I'm absolutely abysmal with her. I've played maybe 6 games or so, and I've only gotten maybe two kills between them. Sure, she can pop an insta-down on survivors, but I'm simply not able to do it in a reasonable timeframe, and it would've usually just been better to treat her like an M1 killer, which I feel is a bit of a failure of design.
I'm going to probably keep giving her a shot and see if there's something big I'm missing, but if I don't find the fix soonish, I'll likely just stop playing her. It's a real shame, since I was super excited for her before release.

I find her fun to play but a pain to deal with at times as a surv

I find her really fun to play with but she is a mid tier killer at best. Vile purge can be a bit frustrating, but when you get a good soaking on someone she has the potential to down survivors faster than most killers. She is very potent with add ons in the right hands.

Fun but weak. Not rank 1 viable. So essentially disappointing.
2 -
Easy win against, horrible to play/no point gain. Granted I haven't played her since the fix to her brutality. Played her up to P3, and outside of a few games it was an absolute chore. Yet another bloated kit full of downsides for no real upside.

Great design, ######### power.
She’s one of the worst killers in the game, her power doesn’t do anything significant and is in control of survivors.

I personally have no issue fighting against the plague. If you never heal than she has no power at all. The actual puke is such a weak power, takes like 4 full pukes to actually harm a survivor which is like a realllllyyy slow m1. And if nobody heals she basically is a m1 only killer because her puke is very weak on it's own.

She's underwhelming. I am more scared of a Clown, tbh.

One word Disapointment!

Trash tier scrubstomper.

I am so disappointed in the Plague's current state that I'm actually thinking up a rework to make the very name THE PLAGUE actually matter.
Her perks have very poor synergy and her vile purge is useless against loopers.
To top it all off, she has very bad score events. I get so little BP from her that I'm actually better off playing survivor if I want points (or literally any other killer).
0 -
EZ to loop and Genrush. Only time I feel threatened is when other Survivors screw up and think being sick means something. Then they use up fountains instantly and start falling like nine pins.
0 -
Appearance wise, she is one of the better Killers. I really want to like her because of it.
But, she just does not feel well thought out. Right now, I'd but her slightly above Clown in my personal ranking, and that isn't saying much, since he's my second least favorite. I might be playing her completely wrong, but her sickness just doesn't seem to do enough. I get that it only makes you Broken for balance reasons, and I can accept that, but that slow down hit her way to hard.
And that point gain. They fixed some things, so this might not be exact anymore, but she has atrocious point gain.

I like her look, I think she’s fun, but I don’t expect to get more than a few hooks and maybe 1-2 kills max unless the other team is bad or never finds Ruin and can’t work through it.
0 -
She is probably the best killer appearance wise, she looks amazing.
Gameplay wise she is slightly underwhelming. I’ve had rounds where the team completely fell like bowling pins to my Corrput Purge. I have also have rounds where I got maybe four hooks because the entire team was immersed.
I honestly think sickness should spread more easily and stay on objects (generators, vaults, totems) a lot longer than they currently do.
Maybe even have a green fume (similar to the red fume around her when she has Corrupt Purge) around her and have it so the sickness automatically transfer to windows when she vaults over windows.
Fountains should not fully heal survivors.
Sickness should build up on survivors slightly faster than it does currently.
Those are some ideas I have to make her better than she currently is. She isn’t in a horrible state but she has so much more potential to be a better killer.

I like her concept and design, but i cant adapt to her gameplay, Pig seems way more fun and viable to use
1 -
Great design but she's not that strong. Played as and against quite a few Plague players and unless people really potato, she gets bullied a fair bit. Started to see more Plague players using NOED too.
I feel the duration of puke on items, even with add-ons is so underwhelming. She def needs some tweaks.

Why did they nerf her?
0 -
She's hot even though she has a skin condition.
Oh you meant how is she to play?
She's pretty sick.
0 -
Two things.
1) You can inflict broken with 1 full puke. If you have stacked effectiveness add-ons she can do it in like half a puke. But it has to be the ENTIRE thing, or close to it, to inflict Broken.
2) If you never heal, yes she is an m1 killer... the same way Myers EW3 is an m1 killer. If she uses an apple add-on (starts 1 fountain corrupt) or that one pink add-on, you are going to get smashed really hard if you never heal (unless she's a derp and takes the fountain at the start of the game).

Less skill required than huntress.. but not as fun to verse (instadown hatchets not included)

Plague is trash.
1 -
The only good thing about Plague is her Corrupt Purge
2 -
Plague just makes the bad survivor's you queue up with even worse to deal with.
Sure she could be powerful in some games, but realistically, you just need to find a tall enough wall (of sorts) that is attached to a pallet and just run around until you feel that she's getting too close to you.
0 -
She's bad if you overcommit to chases and that's it. People downplay her too hard.

SHE LOSES HER BEST ABILITY WHRN STUNNED BY A PALLET
That makes her trash tier for me
0 -
I've played her almost exclusively since her release and she just gets steamrolled against competent survivors.
The slow while charging and holding vile/corrupt purge makes it nearly useless if you're getting looped. Often it's better just to bloodlust and M1 which feels counterintuitive to her power's design. Some pallet stuns I can't even see coming because of how tall she is resulting in a loss of Corrupt purge. Maps with a lot of corn feel so bad since survivors can see her coming and all she can see is corn corn corn.
Against survivors with DS, BT, and Adrenaline, she just can't compete.

Weak to looping and genrush, due to her slow projectile that cant hit loopers and the dependency on corrupt fountains that appear later in the game.
Beeing especially vulnerable to looping and genrush is really bad. Her corrupt form is good and the only reason to play her. But you can simply play Huntress if you want range. And her base form is worse than Leatherface.
She seems mid tier to me. Along with Myers, Pig, Clown and Doctor. She has something, but its not good against good loopers. Weak in her base form, toptier in her corrupt form, but rarely maintaining that form.
Imo her Vile Purge needs a buff. It doesnt do enough
