Pig Mains Out There.

Why are you pig mains so devoted to pig, I am curios since she is a low tier killer reliant partially on rng, why do you love pig so much.

    I main Pig because I found her fun, I find her cute and I love her traps and ambush and Idc about her being low tier because I'm not try hard and I still get 4k majority of times with her

    Never thought in first place I did lol it's fine just said im not naturally try hard or very competitive I just enjoy games that's all I main Pig and then Demo both aren't very strong but practice makes it perfect I found them fun to me and I will rather lose couple of games then play for example spirit which I find zero fun in

    Well "low tier" is subjective, I do much, much better with her than, say, Oni who some people would probably rate as stronger than Pig.

    Don't care about her RBTs, but "outdashing" survivors in chases is one of the most fun killer powers for me, her stun oink is cute, and I love getting my snoot booped.

    When I first started playing killer, I usually played as Myers or The Doctor, and I did decently enough. I saw someone play the Pig on YouTube and liked the dynamic of the bear traps, so I gave her a try and haven't looked back. I started playing her and just found that I enjoyed the playstyle the most out of anyone on the roster. Being able to occasionally use stealth, the RBT's as slowdown (and occasionally for head pops), and of course, the meme of the Booping of the Snoot (which I always respect) make her a lot of fun. And her stun oink, as stated, is adorable, lol.

    People sleep on her as an effective killer. For me, I struggle badly with Nurse, I've played Spirit but have been indifferent about her, and I can't use Oni effectively to save my life, so some of the "strongest" killers don't have the appeal to me like The Pig does. I definitely think she's better than she's given credit for being, with a built-in slow down and sneaky lethality with her traps -- she's not in the top-tier, but she's a solid middle-tier killer IMO, and definitely not low-tier if she's in the right hands. I made it to Rank 1 playing her the majority of my killer rounds, so she's definitely viable.

    They have to buff her. Her dashing attack should not make any noise. Her addons are really bad. On the best one, you even lose 3 traps and two boxes. Something like aura reading, that wraith uses without any downsides. He has to be cloaked but pig has to be in crouch mode as well to see auras. It just doesn't make any sense why she is so butchered.

    I like alt-win conditions such as someone dying to a Reverse Bear Trap.

    Because she has one of the most unique base kits, a lot of Killers are just variations of the same concept like Huntress, Plague, Trickster, Pyramidhead and Deathslinger (ranged attackers) or Hag, Trapper, Freddy (they set traps to close loops) etc and she while she is not as weak as people believe she is not easy-modo stomp-a-lot like Spirit or Freddy so when you get 3/4K you know you actually had to play well, it feels rewarding.

    I don’t see why anyone would main a killer in DBD but I will play some pig now and then, she’s just M1 so it’s not like playing her requires any sort of extra consideration.

    Me? I play pig for the RNG moris. I only spin as her if I got tampered timer and crate of gears / Jigsaws sketch.

    Other than that not much reason beyond the memes

    She has a cool kit, but her lack of ability to pressure--and how useless Ambush will always be by design--means I usually drop her at red ranks. You have to be willing to play scummy to consistently 3K+ as a medium tier killer. Most Pigs in red ranks will tunnel or camp, which is why she has a very high kill rate.

    very mechanic focused killer who got an ability to stall games and buy time. I just like her kit

    I think pig is one of the best killers in the game. I love her traps. They are a good time waster. And I got a thing for stealth killers.

    People really need to stop listening to others and others tier lists and come to their own conclusions with killers honestly it's a lot more fun when you don't avoid an entire character based on the opinions of others, I love pig and i think she's severely underrated, I'll never be as good as Scorpionz with them but he is someone that makes pig look god tier.

    I love how aggressive I can be with her. With most other killers I have to devote a lot of time and perks into patrolling and slowing down generators. With Piggy I can play full aggressively because of her traps slowing the game down a ton. Also her Ambush Attack lets me use one of my favorite perks efficiently, Save the Best for Last.

    1. Dynamic and interesting power.

    2. Not just another Freddy main, she's challenging.

    3. Lore is cool

    4. Fun to play

    I'll disagree strongly that Scorpionz makes Pig god tier. He can pull off some absolutely wicked dashes, but he never faces good competition and I've seen him take plenty of losses against bad teams purely due to her lack of power

    The whole 'Killer Tier' thing is really subjective, and I don't put much stock in it. Any Killer with a good perk build and a smart player behind it(or some real stoopid Survivors in front of it) can be real nasty. I really like to play Trapper, though he's consistently rated mid-tier, and with a good build and assuming they allow me to get some tricky trap placement set up, I end up making some teams really miserable with him.

    Amanda Panda is just sooo fun! Actually getting a grab is glorious, and the booping of snoot has lead to many outrageous times!!

    Those way better than me that have mastered her make her quite the lethal murdering machine. Too bad luck and maps can simply wreak her at times, and smart survs who coordinate and 99% the gens are a nightmare to face. And she desperately needs an add-on overhaul more than anything else imo.

    But I love her still!

    You learn more playing Pig than say Freddy and spirit. She teaches you more base mechanics you need with the majority of the roster. She also has a few things to make her interesting even tho is M1. Stealth even if it's not as good as wraith, ghosty, or mike it's better than the others and her ambush is great in mid-small loops at getting a hit or making them leave the loop if you know what your doing. The RBT's give you time at the start/mid game to get/build some hooks and her ambush does not count as a basic attack so STBL is great for her. STBL is one of my favorite perks so a killer that has a ability to get around losing tokens is always +1 in my book. IMO key there IMO her add-ons offer different ways to play her. You can upgrade your ambush, add gears and reduce trap timer for head pops, or my personal favorite add more traps and boxes to buy more time at beginning/mid-game. Like someone else said I do better with Pig than Oni, Spirit, Doc just to name a few.
