The Plague's Chaser gain is aweful

I don't give much attention to rank and emblems so it took me a while to notice that getting a good Chaser emblem with the Plague is very hard.

Until now the most I got is silver, even though I went in many chases and won most of them. Before someone says it: no I don't camp, so that's not the reason.

I think the reason is that making a survivor broken with the vomit doesn't count for the emblem, so you basically get half the chases counted and the counted ones are relatively longer (since only the second hit is counted) so they award less points.

I think putting a survivor into the Broken State during a chase should count as a "successful hit" for the chaser emblem so that using her power isn't penalyzed.

    have you ever tried trapper?

    his traps do not give you ANY emblem points.

    i literally got 4ks with 3 iridescent / gold emblems and no chaser emblem at all.


    thats a thing since they released the emblem system, i doubt there will be any changes to it for specific killers in the near future...


    plague has the same problem as oneshot killers btw. since these killers can oneshot a survivor, they need 1 less hunt to down them (a chase ends uppon a succesfull hit on a survivor, so since you need 2 hits to down them you get 2 chases. instadowns only get 1). this has also been in there since the release of the emblem system btw.

    I don't know if this would be a good fix, but maybe make instadowns count as 2 chases, any power that puts a survivor from healthy to injured as 1 chase (Plague, Trapper). Thoughts?

    I have the same problem with Hag.

    Hag played properly is a control killer, not a chase killer.

    I get punished for not chasing.

    The ranking system needs a proper rework.

    Absolutely. The fact that you can do too well in a match, and lose rank because of it is proof. A 4k, two minute stomp should be a reason to jump up a rank, not to be shoved back down into potato tiers. And yet, here I am, pub stomping 24/7 and being told I lost unless I intentionally play poorly for way too many matches.

    I am noticing on Plague that I think if you vomit on them to injure them, then it doesn't count as a hit and then the game thinks you spent too long in a chase so you get less points. This is a theory, but one I have come up with after playing Plague non stop since she came out.

    Her BP gain does feel pretty bad.
