Anyone else think Amanda (pig lady) is OP ?

Keep in mind that the Pig only gets 4 traps for the entire match. Once they are all used up, she only has her stealth and ambush to fall back on. The whole point of the traps is to function as a mild game slowdown that may very rarely actually get a kill if you choose to ignore it, which would be your own fault anyway. And if the Pig player chooses to tunnel the person that already has a trap, that means they are chasing someone who wasn't doing objectives anyway. Also the stealth and distraction provided by the traps are the only things the Pig innately has going for her. She has to rely on perks for tracking and has nothing to help with map traversal, heck her stealth mode slows her down so if she just wants to creep around the map all the time she'll be wasting a lot of time doing so.

Thats the power of her kit......I'm sorry to say this....but, you just have to deal with it and roll with the punches. Every killer has something about their kit that makes a survivors life miserable, if they didn't....this wouldn't be a game.

I'll offer you some advice yeah. When you see pig in a match, YOU HAVE TO, adjust your playstyle. Being loud and obnoxious is not the play, being fancy and attempting to lose her in a chase, is not the way.

Being stealthy......against a stealth killer....is the most mind altering thing you could do to a killer like pig. Because we look for survivors who make themselves obvious. So if you don't wanna get a head trap....do yourself a favor, and play a bit more cautious.

The OP's post history is nothing but complaints about The Pig being "OP" and "unfun", mixed in with the usual "killer too easy" and "killer main forum" posts, so correct info isn't what they're looking for. This is simply more bait.

Any information about The Pig will fall on their deaf ears, but for anyone not biased who reads this thread -- The Pig is nowhere near OP. I play a ton of her when I play killer (I play close to 50/50 survivor/killer mix overall).

Her ambush attack is underrated, but you have to play it perfectly and/or get lucky if you use it in chase to have it hit. It's good for an initial surprise attack early in game, so long as you're not going against someone with Spine Chill and manage to stealth up in time, but after that, stealth isn't her strong suit (when players realize who they're facing). Her stealth pales in comparison to Ghostface, as an example, and even Myers, frankly (one running M&A + Dead Rabbit, for example). It takes her forever to move around a map while crouched, making that an impractical tactic to use too much, and her ambush attack is telegraphed by her roar, giving any survivor a heads-up to book it away.

The traps are heavily luck-based. I watch survivors get them off on 1st box regularly, so sometimes they're barely any slowdown at all. A smart team will try to avoid popping gens and just get them close (assuming no Ruin) to give teammates a chance to get the traps off without fear of activation as well. If you're playing The Pig, the traps are deadliest when you're up against solo players (whose teammates won't worry as much about others' traps), or if The Pig is running the TT/Crate of Gears combo (which can easily kill unlucky/unwary survivors, but still can be thwarted by bad RNG). The traps are meant as a slowdown mechanism anyway, so getting a kill with one isn't just unexpected, but a rarity unless you're running that add-on combo or you have survivors ignoring the trap to work on things with it active (and they end up unlucky).

She's not mobile, she doesn't have one-shot lethality built in, she's heavily luck-influenced, and her stealth is relatively weak. She does perform well, however. Why? My guess would be that, based on a relatively low selection rate, the people playing Pig are actually experienced with her and know how to use her. The occasional head pops boost those numbers up as well.

I love to go against her, since the killer most likely to meme with you is a Pig player looking for the elusive snoot boop (which gets you an EZ escape against me -- if you boop me, you live). I've died to a trap only once or twice in almost a year of playing now, and I had that many matches against meming Pigs in just the last week alone. The traps are a unique element that gives urgency when activated, and it's a game mechanism that always makes Pig matches different than matches against other killers.

The Pig is nowhere near the best killers (Nurse, Spirit, Freddy, Oni to name the usual suspects), but played well, isn't as bad as people will make her out to be, making her fun to play as or against, and definitely a viable, but beatable, killer. But OP? Calling her that is laughable.

" ScorpionZ can play her really well, so why should we make a change?*

ScorpionZ is in the upper echelon of killer players period to be honest. You could use him as a reference point of maximum potential, but sometimes, the things he does makes me question his IQ, like he might be part of MENSA or something. And I wouldn't be surprised if I was right, I'd join, but I don't like societies. For normal players though, that try to play her kit either as intended or thematic, the most annoying parts of her power ChiSox already mentioned. Her huge tell before a lunge is absolutely toxic for a stealth killer, I don't care how accurate they were trying to be to the movie, its obnoxious. Her crouch speed is outshined by ghostface who can literally crouch the entire map as if nothing was happening and this son of a ######### gets an instant down and a damn radar.....They could at leave give pig some crouch movement speed.

A certain dbd dev thinks that but over time you'll come to realise that pig is just not so good as consistency is key and shes rng reliant

You either decimate that Dwight like a wild boar or you or your getting turned to bacon wnd shoved up Laurie's pancake hole.
