Still waiting for new Plague content and a rework
How come our favorite babylonian babe hasn't received any new original content since February? I've seen some of the announcements and there aren't any plans for her for the rest of this year.
All she has received so far were recolored cosmetics that were locked behind the premium Rift pass. Why hasn't she received her own tome at least? It's quite sad how little love this killer is getting. She's the least played killer in the entire game while also being one of weakest in terms of overall performance across all levels of play if you look up the stat-sheets.
If you ask me she'd deserve a semi-rework that gives her an original chasetheme while also fixing her terrible emblem/pipping issues. Any game below a 3K is basically a depip on her, and doublepipping is basically impossible on her. Adiris deserves far better. It's already bad enough that survivors can deny her power entirely while not receiving any real punishment for doing so.

The biggest problem with her is that she gets genrushed because cleaning takes an incredibly short amount of time. If cleansing were to take as long as healing and ppl were more incentivised to cleanse, she would be fine. I don't think she needs a rework tho just some QoL's.

Oh i feel it so many things to change:
at the tippity top of the list for QoL: make her M2 a full commit please for the love of god stunning myself because i undershot her m2 hold time by 1 millisecond and stunning myself in the middle of a chase is the worse
decrease the movement speed reduction for charging a corrupt purge
i would also love to see a longer cleanse time
corrupt purge needs a soild buff like a large speed increase during currupt purge and not charging or holding
right now people love to say "well no one ever clenses so she has a one time use power" but in my games i just never see this. if i can get everyone fully infected i use my currupt and that eats through enough hooks to make them think again about being injured and from there it only takes one clense and then you win and its an easy win.
there are other games where they know the exact timing of vomit and arc and be near impossible to hit and they know it and they will clense constantly to the point of auto corrupts but i cant commit to chases because they will go 3 man a gen in 20 sec and i cant get them out of the tight corners
aside from that plague more than any other killer's games tends to drag out games. you know the drill 2 dead 2 alive the 3 or 4 final gens are infected the survivors arent and no one does anything for 5 minutes. also her perk corrupt intervention does the same thing : players see its you you infect the unblocked gens and nothing happens until 2 minutes go by and your down a perk.
plague's best part of her power is still worse than just playing huntress in alot of circumstances what does corrupt purge have on huntress really? crowd control for when you see a bunch of survivors together which is rare outside of healing which they dont do against plague.

This is such an easily noticeable issue, and it happens all the time. I really don't understand why this hasn't been changed yet.

Use Blood Echo. Being infected trumps Iron Will, which is a common perk. Blood Echo disables the exhaustion perk more or less permanently, and everyone is using an exhaustion perk. Very often you can completely shut down two entire perks on all survivors by playing Echo Plague.
Other big Plague issue: Her bloodpoint gain is absolutely awful. That is likely one of the reasons she is so unpopular.

I love the vomit queen, she's the only killer I play where I'll have all 4 survivors escape but still have fun because I love chases as her. I'd love a buff for her, and definitely a change to her deviousness bloodpoint category because getting 25 bloodpoints for vomitting on a generator just isn't enough.

I'm bumping this since BHVR still hasn't acknowleged our queen's existence yet.
I'm still waiting for a new skin to come out, please stop giving us these extremely lazily made recolors. She deserves far better.

Don't bump, it's against the forum rules and can get the thread closed. Trust me, I was on the console issues megathread a while back; bumping does not help.
That said, Plague does desperately need some love. I've said this before, but her cosmetics are all just variations of original.
This isn't really that different from this.
And while yes, there are limitations if you have to stay close to her power of vomiting on people, but you could still do a lot more than repeat variations of "scantily clad and disfigured by disease ancient priestess brandishing a censer".
Give her a cosmetic that makes her look like a giant snakeperson - like she's spitting 'venom' at Survivors. Her weapon could be a smaller snake coiled around her arm.
She could be a ghost; sorta tansparent - letting you see her skeleton through her outfit and skin - and spewing 'ectoplasm' on everything while she attacks people with her own skull.
You could give her an ancient fallen warrior look; like all battered and beaten up - attacking with the broken remains of a morningstar.
Vomiting doesn't make sense for that one? Who cares!? Sea Zombie Trapper can still use Bear Traps, Puppet Clown still chucks bottles, and Frozen Plant Hag can still make magic mud replicas of herself.
Cosmetics should look cool first, and maybe make sense later.

If the detection on Corrupt Purge weren't so inconsistent I would have probably one a lot more matches on her. The amount of times I've seen it phase through someone, or even myself when VSing her is absurd.

I support these ideas wholeheartedly

Well the alternative would have been to create basically the same thread asking for the same things. Oh well.
I'd love some fanservice related killer-skins, survivors already have cute and pretty skins themselves.
Why not do the same for killers? I'd throw my money at them just to get this skin alone:

Why people want to suffer by playing Plague. Boring as and against.

In your opinion maybe.
Also that's all the more reason to support improving her.

I actually find her quite fun to go against I just never do. I find the risk/reward of choosing to stay sick a fun aspect.

One of the most glaring issues has to be how unreliable her hit detection is. I often hit people with a single droplet of puke and they also scream from disgust BUT it doesn't infect them. It's even more annoying if corrupt purge goes through them without even registering.
