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.

Plague is one of my fav klillers next to the twins since they are so unique

The thing is that her projectiles don't even infect you sometimes. I know this happens since her vomit is just a bunch of small orbs connected to each other. The reason why the surv is being hit by the connecter of her vomit. this makes her so infuriating to play.

she can be such a strong killer if she got a fix and maybe a buff to her vomit speed since it's so slow.

I heard that she needs something to collet her pools at a range which is an idea I am open to

    I agree 100%. Plague is very balanced but shes underperforming due to bugs and lack of quality of life changes. She has always been my favorite killer since she was released but she is so frustrating to play because she doesn't feel polished and her power is in survivors hands.

    It should take survivors a while longer to cleanse themselves.

    Her FOV needs raised because she is very tall.

    She needs her hitboxes readjusted to feel more accurate.

    Her corrupt purge should probably project a bit further, survivors dont seem to be threatened by her collecting corrupt at all.

    It's just some small balancing tweaks that she is lacking overall.

    Plague's barf is the most frustrating part of playing her. The reason for this was explained in the 4th Anniversary loading tooltips. In essence, her barf LOOKS like a flamethrower, but it WORKS like a semi-automatic.

    What appears to be an unbroken wave that should infect anything it touches is actually a series of chunks, with loads of space between them. If a survivor is touched by a chunk, they get infected. If not, they don't. This means that a survivor can run back and forth through your puke and never get infected if they dodge every chunk (which is very much possible).

    In playing her, this is incredibly frustrating, as we can't SEE the chunks, and the particle effects hide it. So, it seems to bug out, when in fact it's working as intended. If they're going to give her a visual rework, they really ought to make her puke in visible chunks, so it doesn't appear that the game is bugged. Or, you know, change the core ability so it works like a flamethrower so the effect matches the visual.

    Another thing to add to it is that pallet stuns SHOULD NOT REMOVE CORRUPT PURGE!

    Survivors already dictate if she can get more then one of them per game; In two ways mind you by either not cleansing or cleansing in areas that the plague can't realistically reach without losing the game.

    So why can they also strip her of it after they have finally given it to her?

    ^ This.

    Maybe I'd actually play Plague more if she wasn't so buggy and frustrating.

    Oh absolutely. I totally forgot about this. I think this was just a fail safe that the devs implemented last second thinking she wouldn't have counterplay. I hope they remove the corrupt purge stun mechanic.

    Like huntress doesnt just drop all of her hatchets when shes stunned.
