Plague changes

I definitely think they need to find a way to make survivors want to cleanse/heal against her. It seems pretty backwards that her entire kit is built around getting people infected and having them cleanse, and yet the smart survivors will just go on without cleansing instead. It's way too easy for survivors to completely deny her power. Sure, she can get everyone injured, but all that really does in the end is make her a really crappy version of myers. It's the same reason why legion is considered low tier. Getting people injured means nothing when you just end up as a base-stat M1 killer afterwards. Why play a killer who can get everyone injured, but then has zero tools to actually secure any of those kills, when you could just play myers or ghostface and do the M1ing except only need one hit from the very beginning?

It's not even like they need to do anything extreme, but if a survivor doesn't want to cleanse they should be punished for it in some way, so they have to make a choice between keeping a bad debuff or cleansing.

Instead of making her power non-denyable, they just gave her a free fountain every game. The free fountain is nice, but thats like just a huge band-aid for the real problem.

They could just do something like whenever a survivor becomes fully infected, they become debuffed with sickness. And the longer they remain sick, the stronger the debuff becomes, until eventually they just have to cleanse. The debuff could be anything from slowing all of their action speeds, or even making them Hindered (slightly slower movement) until they cleanse.

As for the fountain location, it does feel like it could be fixed. Rather than having random fountains on the edges of the map they could just make them all spawn more centralized so that you are never too far from one.

All that being said, she still isn't the worst killer to use. It's just a shame that the power that defines her is so easily ignored.

Even if they have to make it where two survivors need to cleanse before she can ingest the corruption, that would be fine, if they just made it where the survivors had to cleanse eventually.

They need to take a note from how they built Oni. You WANT to heal against an oni because you know if you don't it will be worse for you.

Everytime i see a change about Plague i will say this:

If you want survivors to cleanse by decreasing action speed or any other debuff, corruption version should get nerfed.

If you're suggestion deterrents to sick survivors due to survivors not cleansing, you obviously haven't experienced being doomed after that one Meg decides to cleanse, The Plague gets Corrupt Purge, and everybody's in the dying state within five minutes.

I've understood the design behind The Plague to be similar to Myers' in that she interacts with survivors from a medium range and receives the potential to do a large amount of damage in a short period of time. If smart survivors can avoid that, they will.

If you just simply like the idea of injuring all of the survivors and making them easier targets for later, then you are playing the wrong killer. This is what legion is for. Or if you really just want to one hit people period, play ghostface. Her corrupt purge is very deadly and very difficult for survivors to dodge, i don't know why you wouldn't want it available more often.

Plague being unable to see the Survivors’ sickness meter is really stupid. Knowing which Survivor is about to break can’t be OP in any way. It’s the same thing with Pig’s traps. Knowing how close a Survivor is to death can’t be OP because the timer pauses while in a chase.

The reason there isn’t an extra effect to her Vile Purge is because Corrupt Purge exists in its current state. She becomes a 115% Huntress with it.

If you want Survivors to cleanse, then bring Dying Light and Thanatophobia. Because the Survivors are going to be Broken, they won’t be able to take advantage of the boost Dying Light gives them and they’ll always have Thanatophobia active. You can easily get 30% slowdown if nobody cleanses. In my experience, Survivors will rush to cleanse once they realize what perks you’re running, even if they’re only a little bit sick. They’re that scared of the combo. Survivors staying injured is actually a problem with the game itself and not Plague. Some Survivors rush the gens and either bring Adrenaline or rely on their teammates to heal themselves so they don’t waste time healing.

or just a small buff like giving Oblivious status to infected survivors for 10 seconds when they hit a good skill check on generators. This way survivors will get some pressure and cannot rush gens safely.
