Amanda's add-ons.

I disagree on Face Mask being okay. I think it's garbage. All four of the "Survivors wearing a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from the ________ status effect" add-ons should be changed IMO.

From my experience, Tampered Timer isn't nearly as potent as Scorpionz described. If anything, it's a bad add-on because unless someone straight-up dies to the Reverse Bear Trap (which they probably won't, even in the most ideal scenario for the Pig), the add-on does absolutely nothing. That said, I support changing it because of that, as either it does EVERYTHING and kills someone or it does NOTHING and rots with no real control over it (short of just crouch-tunneling someone to death). I always seem to waffle on how I feel about an add-on that auto-starts the RBTs. I guess if there's no Tampered Timer, it's fine? I don't like the idea of making it so finishing more gens strikes off more time from a Trap.

Amanda's Secret and RSN2 should be completely gutted and reworked entirely, yes.

I think Amanda's Letter simply needs the downside removed. As-is, it only really puts in work on in-door maps, and I don't think upping the aura-reading is going to fix that (especially if you're going to completely gut the RBTs entirely).

I made a pretty in-depth suggestion on how I believe her add ons should be reworked, it's old (from right before they merged half of combat straps into the default power) but it's still pretty much exactly as relevant today: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/37567/pig-rework-suggestion

I really can't understand why the devs create killers with these multifaceted powers, but then go "ok, we'll give 1-2 common add ons to the useful part of the power, then the other 20+ to the crap part!" We've seen it with Pig where most of her add ons give debuffs on the traps, or alter how Jigsaw boxes work in almost meaningless ways or actively make them better for survivors, and we've seen it again with Demogorgon who only has like 2 shred add ons and a plethora of "barely alters portals" add ons.

I think for Pig, any debuffs should be moved from the traps to the ambush, reward getting hits at the start of chases with a stealth attack rather than make standing up and swinging a better option half the time. She should have add ons that improve the ambush, and those that affect Jigsaw boxes shouldn't be reliant on skill checks to be useful.

I won't go too far into it, as this isn't really the thread for that, but consider this: There's only so much that can be done to trim the problematic parts of the Reverse Bear Trap without running the risk of making the RBTs non-threatening to the point where Survivors just stop respecting them. Yes, they are a stall tool first, but if there isn't enough of a threat to them, then Survivors will have little issue with just ignoring them and working on gens until the Timer starts up. Which means they won't be doing their job of being a stall tool.

That basically hands any survivor with a trap on immortality. They can make stupid decisions all they like and the killer loses their power (which already has limited charges) if they capitalise on that.

If you don't want a Pig going for you with a trap on, then don't search a Jigsaw box when the Pig is chasing someone nearby, don't go directly to the closest box when you're unhooked, and don't run out in front of her thinking you're immune to being hit.

The answer isn't taking away the killer's choice to capitalise on your mistakes just because people behave stupidly when they have traps on.

That's a different discussion altogether. Those changes discourage camping the hook. You're suggesting discouraging attacking Survivors.

Bubba was buffed, though.

Pig doesn't need changes like that because she's had them from the get go. Her stealth comes with a movement speed debuff, and her RBTs have limited charges across the match.

Killers like Billy never had any real downside, nor resource-management. You could use the chainsaw as often as you liked at any given time. Pig has always had to think about her ambush because using it too liberally punishes you by giving survivors a lot of distance between you, and RBTs can't ever be 'spammed.'

Yeah Amanda needs An add-on rework. O yes she also needs a cooldown on her Dash.

I guess? The with that is that you'd have to thread a very careful line of buffing her ambush enough to make it worth losing all the stall potential she has while also making sure you don't go overboard and make it too hard to escape Pig in a chase.

Also, Scratched Mirror Myers is another one of those add-ons that only really works in-doors, so I wouldn't call that really something to use as a good example.

That definitely makes sense, but currently I feel like the risk of working on a generator instead of going for the boxes is not high enough unless you use very specific add-ons to make the odds of dying to the RBT higher. Currently the fire being lit under trapped Survivors is very small, despite the fact that the penalty is straight-up death.
