Plague
Plague deserves her kit to be looked at and reworked/changed so that she has more control over her power. She loses a lot of pressure walking to a pool to get her power. As well as people being able to not cleanse without a detriment like reduced action speed. Then there's being able to heal against her in like 5 seconds. I was thinking about granting her a gauge that fills up based on how much she has infected objects and survivors that when full allows her to use corrupt purge by activating it. Just a suggestion but I do think she should be looked at. There's a reason she's one of if not the least used killer.

Yeah, poor Plague. She's annoying to play as and against. Sadly, she probably won't get changed for a long time.

I don't believe they should be healed from cleansing. just cleansed of sickness. No where did I ever read or hear about a damn insta heal from her fountains. I cleansed when I had deep wounds and it only took the mend away and I was still injured so do that same thing just take sickness.

Totally agree. When I've played as a survivor against her, I won't cleanse unless others are doing it, but yeah, running to a fountain when injured & infected to get a full heal. That's crap. I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed already. A 5 second full heal is way OP.

That's a really good idea and a great start to changes with plague

I wouldn't be against that tbh it would help to give her more pressure, not sure how the balance of the match would work with her power then though - but it would be interesting to see.

Id be fine for them healing a state if they were healthy when they became sick compared to if they were already injured.

it would be better than now sure but not if they have became broken by the sickness. They should be punished for that.

They are, theyre a one hit down, and if they get downed cleansing wont give the heal. Its only if the only damage they suffer is through sickness.

She really needs a way to get corrupt without having to lose pressure and walk to the other side of the whole map.

They don't care they either stay that way or insta heal with the fountain. The point I was trying to make which I already know there a one hit btw is that cleansing should not heal back to full health. That's why most don't cleanse till end.

Why do I feel like they don't look at Plague at all because no big name streamer has said anything about her. She deserves to be looked at 😩

My major problem with Plague is that her height compared with a lack of mobility or chase power makes chases against a good looper nigh unwinnable. I also think that having to go so far out of the way for your timed power that people can easily hide from just doesn't justify building up to it. Sure, Micheal isn't ranged and is timed. But he can pop it at any time with no warning or slowdown. There's a map wise sound effect aswell as a visual notification just incase you weren't paying attention.
I really like her visual design and concept but just don't enjoy playing her at all. In the rare case I give her a chance I get my ass handed to me moreso than usual.
And when I play against her (incredibly rare) most matches end with her camping 1 player for the kill with the gates open.

I struggled with plague til i changed my playstyle. My first goal in the match is to infect everybody. I almost never infect someone fully and hit them. I let time do it. Sometimes i take the easy M1 too when they are not fully infected. They get their sprintboost from the hit, but now they cant afford to get close to me anymore. When nobody cleanses, i wait for the perfect moment to use my only pool.
I can still loose, because they do not cleanse and i waste my only pool, but i get better results with it.
I copied more or less otz playstyle and i got a 15 win streak without addons at red rank. And i still have lots to learn with her.

Yeah my game plan is to use Corrupt and puke on the 5 gens (assuming I get a good spawn) and hope that they don't try to wait it out. Luckily outside of a 4man SWF you'll always get someone who doesn't want to risk a hook with no gen progress. The 1 corrupted pool did help a lot. But after that if the team decides to cleanse near completed gens or dead zones it can be quite a time sink.
I've been considering maybe End/Fury on her just to give her a boost in chases but its getting the pallet dropped thats the problem.
She has a design quirk like Pig that I'm not really fond of, in that you really need the survivors to be impatient to excel.
