There are generally 4 types of Pigs you will face: Trap tunnellers, stealth campers, the GOOD ones, and the baby.
Trap tunnellers and stealth campers are honestly inflating Pig's stats so the dev's won't do anything to her. The other types are fine.
As a Pig main, I also find an unreasonable amount of people DC'ing but this is also lower ranks as I haven't played much killer lately because of matchmaking.
As for my build it' Surveillance, BBq, Nurse's, Ruin. Combine with the add-ons of Combat Straps, Video Tape or John't Medical File (any 2/3 add-ons). Good for small tracking, ambushing and overall mid-game pressure.

Whenever I play against the pig I can never get the trap off my head and I always die because no matter how fast I go its always the last box.

I don't really have a set build, but I enjoy Thrilling Tremors, Surge, Monitor and Abuse, Whispers on Pig. I'm moving away from addons lately, but I enjoy instadash and extra trap and extra box.

The pig main pretty much hit the nail on the head. The thing is the longer the match goes on, the more of an advantage the killer has so do you think the other survivors will just 99 a gen when you have a trap on your head?
No.
So you have between 2 minutes to 2 minutes and 30 seconds to dash across the map, less if you didn't want to do it injured, and attempt to remove said trap.
During this time other events could happen. You could be required to unhook teammates or you may enter another chase with the pig. Its random if you pick the right box or not btw. The entire match just sprays rng all over the place.
I've also had a second trap put on me sometimes. There is no worse feeling in this game I swear.
Edit: pig helmets really really unfavorable for survivors on the bigger maps because of the amount of ground you have to cover while also avoiding the killer.

It's probably why I like playing Pig. I like extending the game as killer and taking my time SLOWLY dismantelling the enemy team. I don't have a problem I swear.
As for your trap problem, I've never seen that. It sounds rare and more like a large map problem.

It is a large map problem. Killers see it a lot more with low mobility killers during their generator patrols but survivors get hit by it when jigsaw traps come into play.
(Survivors move even slower than killers btw)
The game slowdown is a very good reason to like pig and I'm shocked you don't see more of her now that ruin is changed.
99% of the time I can get the trap off and it serves its intended purpose (to slow the game down) that 1% though...you remember it and it is a major feels bad man situation.

I like a lot about Pig. She's just my kind of fun. Unseen predator, ambush, highly complex piece if engineering.
Not many people play her either, so she's not common knowledge on how to counter. I dunno. Sometimes you just play a killer and it clicks.

She's not a bad choice. I like her style and the general idea of her. I just hate the random factor. If the pig is crouching after you and slugging every time you go to check a box no amount of skill can save you.
Checking a box in a part of a map where the pallets have been exhausted? You're probably going down. Some people may enjoy it, but I don't. I play the pig occasionally (not even close to my main) and I don't feel like the traps do anything...until they do and someone dies.
I think because you can't buy the pig with shards and the general who is Amanda or the saw series question for non saw aficionados keep her out a bit, but with the high speed meta even if people have traps on at the end and suddenly you're in end game, well, traps a tickin'.
I don't mind being outsmarted by another player. Getting ambushed at a loop and being forced into a different position is fine. I've just never been a gambler.
Ace Visconti and Amanda should get married.

The majority of Pig players I've come across are the tunnelling kind. Come to think of it I think the only good pig player I've played against is Scorpionz. The others were the tunnelling piggies or ones that weren't that great. Anyway, I don't mind pig matches. I feel like the traps could be changed to be more consistent in their function of slowing down the game but other than that she's a pretty solid killer. Her crouch and ambush are fun for mindgames and I don't feel cheated when I go down to a Pig, they genuinely outplayed me and that's fine by me.

My build is BBQ, PGTW, STBFL, and either NOED or old Ruin. I can change NOED out for Thrilling Tremors as well.

New Ruin still works well on Pig. Don't be discouraged by the change.

I really like the "chaser Pig" build, STBFL, Enduring, Spirit Fury and PGTW.
For the addons I'm using Combat Straps and Video Tape.
