Ideas for a buff to The Pig

I think everyone can agree that the state Amanda's in right now is just pathetic. NO ONE in the red or purple ranks will even think of playing her right now because they just get completely demolished.

• Ghostface is far better than her at catching survivors working gens by surprise even without some 16 meter lunge.

• It's often very difficult to stealthily get a lunge on a survivor doing a generator since there isn't usually a good place to initiate your lunge from without getting detected, especially given that the moment you initiate that lunge your terror radius immediately starts and survivors often sprint burst away, while the ghostface can get easy silent stabs and even get them exposed beforehand.

• The necessity of her crouching ability with the ridiculous setbacks it has combined just isn't making her good one bit.

• Most maps, especially the older ones, are just not built for stealth, so they often have no cover / long bushes especially positioned near generators which are usually inside a loop square so the fact that she has to get close to get her ability to function properly (that's if she doesn't even get spotted in the first place, and just imagine if its an SWF lobby she's IMPOSSIBLE to win with)

So without further ado, here's what I think could be done (Obviously Not all of them at once, introduce what seems most fit)

1- Just remove her crouch timer for the love of god, 1.3 whole seconds just to go in a state that's apart from the speed reduction it puts you in, the chances of you even winning a chase with that timer are ZERO in the red ranks, why? Because it's purely based on a survivors mistake.

2- Remove the roar she makes before making an attack, or if that seems too OP make it just as the ambush charging finishes, gives less space for a survivor to escape your planned out attack.

3- Make it so that, like Freddy, the furthest Jigsaw box is the one that gets highlighted to the trapped survivor, puts far more pressure on the survivors, because pig mains pretty much always have 2-3 gens done before they finally get their first survivor.

I just think it's not too late to give up on her and people who paid for the DLC should actually enjoy playing her (apart from the fact that a good percentage bought it for MYC) rather than sweat the entire match in frustration.


Tell me any other ideas below and I hope the devs take action regarding her because it's been a long time like this now.

    Remove survivors ability to see jigsaw boxes. It makes her Traps more lethal and removes the survivors ability to just ping pong between boxes while your chasing other survivors.

    Personally I would love an Ultra rare add on that triggers the helmet to explode when a gen is finished while a helmet is active. I would call it Hair Trigger or it could remove a percentage of the timer remaining.

    Totally agree with that, the Jigsaw Boxes can easily be located with the noise they make you'll definitely pass by one while you're running, and obviously they can be seen from a mile away.
