A little detail The Plague's Vile Purge doesn't tell you
The description informs the player that all Pools of Devotion are reset when all are corrupted. What it doesn't mention is that you automatically gain Corrupt Purge from this process. Idk if it was intentional because I don't use Plague often, but can the 3 Plague mains acknowledge and verify this for me?

Not a plague main but yes, all corrupt pools are purified and you gain corrupt purge if all pools on the map are corrupted

Yep, it happens. There is also technically no cooldown for this, only a realistic amount of time it takes to use all fountains in a "best case" scenario. As a result, if things go... strangely during the match, you could basically keep charging up Strawberry Stomach Slam almost constantly without ever actually hitting up a fountain.

Yes, if the survivors mismanage the infection to the degree that all pools are corrupted, Plague loses all remaining pools and automatically gains her power. The balance team, for whatever reason, thinks a 50 second damage over time with 8 second self heals isn't forgiving enough on its own.

Thats because they balance around low ranks.

I feel survivors have full control on Plag's power.
No cleanse: M1 killer.
Everyone just decide to cleanse too much: Plag loses all the fountains for power.

Correct.
It’s so she at least gets SOMETHING out of a very bad situation to be in. Letting Pools reset is never much of a good thing, and means working very hard to restart the process of infection and forcing cleansing.

Plague has some control over that last situation though. A reset usually only occurs because of complacency: ignoring the need to manage certain pools to create areas of control that are dangerous to be broken in.

Proud Plague main here. ( Am actually putting together a in depth complete guide to playing the Plague at the moment). Can conform this is the case.

Eh not overly as plague doesn't really have the means to actually reach a lot of her pools unless they are extremely close to what she was doing anyways.
Aka you will reach a pool reset just depending on map spawns and where survivors dictate chases end at as you lack the speed and/or time to reach most pools.

Strawberry Stomach Slam is now going to be how I refer to Corrupt Purge for the rest of time and its all your fault.

It's really a big punishment to plague if u let survivors use all fountains and u lose all fountains.

And everyone called me crazy after her small buff a while back when I said "the best counter to her now is to cleanse asap"

Well, yes, but they are operating at 1 shot at that point. Every mistake becomes magnified in that scenario. Similar to not healing against Legion, the Survivors are basically giving the Killer what their power is intended to do. Sure, you can operate in this state to avoid the Raspberry Rain, but it's at the cost of being a one-hit-blunder.
Realistically, the best option is to look for areas where all the gens are done and cleanse there if possible. This would make Plague have to go out of their way to Kool-Aid Carpet-Bomb anyone, which is time they would normally rather spend pressuring the more active areas of the map.
I do what I can.

if all survivors cleanse all the pools then plague should have unlimited power

Yes this happens sometimes i cleanse to reset the pools and because she cant infect while her corrupts active it can reset the game because everyone gets healed she has no pools and she doesn't choose when it pops.
