The Plague is a laughably weak killer

I honestly thought the Plague was a 110% movement speed killer. That's how slow her gameplay feels. I wanna say she doesn't need the slowdown when she's charging her puke, because you slow down just enough to where a survivor can loop you around a single crate and you will never puke on them. Which reminds me, her base puke sucks. You need crazy add-ons or a crazy amount of time puking on someone to just to get them infected. Then they can cleanse which not only cures them of infection, it also heals them to full. Why? And I've just discovered that when all fountains have been used up by the survivors, they all go back to normal. Like ######### why?! Punished for using your power, punished for not using it. Her gen/pallet breaking speed is also freakishly slow. In fact, does Brutal Strength even work on her? My biggest irk is that her hitboxes for her puke are pathetic. I don't know if it needs a physics update or what, but there are so many times where you FLOOD the area with puke and it doesn't hit then at all. That's my 2 cents on the Plague right now: Cool concept, horrendous execution (like the rest of this game).

    The Plague breaks pallets in the same amount of time as any other killer.

    Most of your complaints are about things not in the game the slower feeling you’re citing are just animations which are wider movements than normal but they aren’t slower, also the slow down is not bad you just gotta learn when and where to spit, I’ve never heard about the cleanse reset but that might be true (tbh survivors rarely cleanse anyways), either way then just use the power and usually the hit boxes look bad because of latency which the devs explained in the last stream plague is not as bad as people say she is just harder to understand then others

    The Plague was good for me...to rediscover Huntress. Ranged killers are purposely slow moving and purposely slow using their powers. This new one is no exception and it's by design to give survs time to always escape and punish you for using a killer's power.

    It seems slower. When I'm using Strength it doesn't even seem faster on pallets, just gens.
