The Plague Is Fun...But Garbage
Having played her today for awhile, I can say that she is gross, and fun...but her skill is basically useless.
Skilled players just accept the poison as it just removes a hit. No slowdown, no stuns, etc. Just 'Oh no, I go down in one hit. I'd better do WHAT I DO ALL THE TIME AND NOT GET HIT!' This means puking on generators to slow down Survivors is flat-out useless..since they are already poisoned, so they can work on one without worry.
If You hit a Survivor and they are sick (but not Broken yet), they can not ONLY clear the puke..THEY GET A FREE FREAKING HEAL when they do so. This was a stupid, stupid, STUPID idea that actively punishes The Plague for using her skill! It forces her to tunnel a Survivor and, 9 times out of 10, Tunneling is how a Killer LOSES FASTER.
Proposes to make The Plague at least decent:
1) There needs to be a punishment for interacting with Plagued objects while sick. Her skill actively NEUTERS ITSELF. Maybe a slowdown to interactions while the object is affected?
2) REMOVE THE DAMN FREE HEAL FROM THE POOLS OF DEVOTION! This was a stupid call. 'Hey! The killer used her ability! Go get a free heal! That's right, Sprint-Burst users! Decisive Strike Users, etc, etc. If you get away, you get to heal yourself without a medkit! Boy is The Plague stupid for puking on you!'
Seriously. That free healing is what broke her for me. I've never seen a Killer punished so badly for using their ability. Who the heck thought free, infinite heals was a good idea!?

Don't underestimate the corrupt purge. The free heals hurt but back to back corrupt purge is better when its so easy to down with it. If they don't get rid of sickness than that ok it turns her into a slightly worse killer but they are still one shoot and they constantly give away where they are so hiding nearby is useless. Just one person cleansing themselfs can hurt the whole team of broken survivors.
What they need to change about her is her reliance on add-ons. Without good add-ons she can't quickly turn people broken and in general she feels worse far worse than any other killer without good add-ons.

Yeah Plauge is super weak, if you face off against the usual SWF voice comm suspects, she doesn't stand a chance.

Just a thought, but what if being sick increased skill check difficulty?

People say her blood puke is powerful but Jesus its so avoidable, there is always something in the way and i feel like you have to get really close just to hit it most of the time.

Oh I like that. And maybe there's levels of sickness. Like Doctor. Harder skill checks and penalties like slower movement or something idk. Also while we're at it please increase her scoring events it's so ridiculously low.
