Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Something needs to be done about Plague.

When it comes to the survivor side, both Unbroken and Benevolent emblems are difficult to level because you spend most of the match injured + you don't get to heal your team mates.

She is also unfun to go against, because like huntress, her range attack is dependable on server connection, which a lot of times are quite questionable, hitting you when it shouldn't, and not hitting when it should.

I also don't know what was done in the last patch, but now when you're injured, you keep puking every second, unlike once in a while like it used to be. Not only making Iron Will useless, making it extremely annoying and repetitive to listen to.

When it comes to the killer side, she also has a really hard time leveling her emblems, making it a problem to pip and REALLY complicated to get her adept.

    I've been getting a lot more salt as plague recently...

    Also slightly off-topic but I think they forgot about plague when they added the cankers you can harvest for the survivor rift challenge, bc you can puke on & infect them although they don't look infected...so probably not intended

    Yeah, Plague is in such an odd spot. They seriously need to take a good look at her kit and the emblem system

    I have loads of fun playing against plague, the only problem I have is with teammates contaminating the pools in the beginning of the game. In a way, she is much more forgiving than huntress when playing against high latency killer IMO.

    Not really sure if the levelling issue you're reporting is a problem of the killer or the emblem system tho.

    I always cleanse agaisnt Plague and I'm always fine for pips. More fun for everyone.

    Is pipping that important? There's no reward for it, in fact the game only gets worse as you get up in rank. One match against or as the plague isn't going to affect you much.

    If you aren't cleansing against Plague you are doing her a solid. Having everyone injured all game is ideal and allows her to snowball the entire team by slugging.

    Plague is the most boring killer to play as and verse.

    Survivors cleansing at the fountains counts as injuries healed, which can be detrimental to her Malicious Emblem. She basically can't use Vile Purge or else she will probably lose out on her Adept Achievement.

    And I know you were talking about the survivor's perspective but it's kind of inconsistent on both sides using the puke projectile.

    It was no "shadowbuff", it was part of the patch notes when it kicked in. Clown got his slowdown on bottle throw removed in the same patch.

    So Plague next killer that gets the constant whine -> nerf treatment? Is she the trendy pick to complain about now

    Read again. No one said she was OP. I actually made the argument she's awful to get emblems with.
