2 Questions regarding The Plague
1) Why does she have such an awful length cooldown when she doesn't even vomit? It's such an annoying hindrance to play her when you try to burst a short stream of vomit to infect, but get an inhale, swallow, and then slow to your movement speed that delays you so much. Although, I'm not saying it makes a total change to my gameplay, I just wish that tiny stun wasn't there when you don't even hold long enough to vomit. I understand cancelling vomit, but when I try to spew a little just to infect, and get nothing, then a cool-down, it feels wrong.
2) Why is her "Purge" hitscore so low? I know this is probably going to be passed off as "oh you have to make survivors cleanse!" but you cannot force them to. While the recent addition of spawning with one fountain helped greatly, there's still an issue with her hardly getting deviousness BP from people who choose not to cleanse. And even then, that takes points from the other team.

I think it's long been known that Plague has issues with earning BP and Emblems. Her score events related to her power offer very small rewards, and her common strategy of keeping all survivors in a broken status means that she also tends to earn less hits towards Brutality/Malicious (something that the one-shot killers occasionally have trouble with).
I think the brief cooldown she faces on canceling her power is fine; I don't like when killers are able to completely 'fake' the use of their power with no penalty to zone survivors (though the only really irritating cases of this are Deathslinger and sometimes Billy). However, I do think that pressing the button to use Vile/Corrupt Purge at all should automatically charge it to the minimum point where the action would go through, regardless of if the player let go of the button early (though they could cancel it before this like normal). At the very least, I'd like some kind of indicator in the charge bar for the minimum time necessary to not have the power auto-cancel.
Kinda hoping they'll implement something similar for Leatherface's chainsaw, but at the top 25% of his rev bar. I've had so many occasions of trying to use his power just after the bar filled only to have him cancel the Frenzy instead.

I also have some question about Plag
- How many fountain in a match?
- If Survivors use all fountain, and Plag doesnt consume fountain. Do Survivors totally lose ability to cleanse themselves since there is no more clean fountain? I feel like when Survivors use all fountain, all corrupted fountain will be cleansed.

Don't remember exactly, something like 5-7 fountains? I don't recall precisely.
No, they do not. All fountains are cleared and The Plague is given corruption for normal duration.

Yeah :\ her hitscores can be pathetic with the right teams.
Also, yeah I was only speaking of when you start to charge, then let go and don't get any vomit. I don't mind cancelling it. That's fine, IMO. But when you try to vomit and get nothing but a cooldown, it feels (naughty word here)ed.

I wondered that too. There are times where I just want to puke a little bit but nothing comes out and there's a long ass cooldown. Please change.
