I don't understand pig
I don't understand this killer or better said why you should pick this killer at all.
Her traps are completely rng based, most of the time (my experience) survivors get this thing of first or second try.
Her sneak potential is the worst of all, she is smaller and has no terror radius but your slow af. Why play her when you can play wraith who is completely invisible and much much faster when both of them make a sound before there attack?
Traps become useless when all gens are done, means you have to use them before and so that a gen is finished fast.
Her ambush attack is in loops worthless when the survivor has more then 5 braincells.

It sounds like you understand her quite well. She's a weak killer. Either you're fine with that and will play her, or you're not.

I pick her because I love killing Survivors with RBTs. That said, your assessment is mostly pretty accurate IMO.

she's fun
although, there are some neat tricks you can use with the ambush attack to get hits.

I just play her for the roar and the cute stun sound, tbh.

Because people like her? It's like saying "why people main *insert x weak killer*" because they simply like it, and I'm a pig main too, i know she's not that strong, but if luck it's on your side, survivor will have a bad time 100%

All of this can be true. She can do a lot though. All the things you mention can also go heavily in your favor as much as against. You can tilt the odds with add-ons, perks, and using her more often to git gud with her. Her dash is good if used the best way and in the right places or can waste your time. The traps can completely shut the game down or be completely useless. On that note I have only had a few games were all survivors got them off quickly so they aren't as bad as portrayed. As I said though I swing the odd by adding boxes and traps. If they are searching boxes they are not on gens. I mained her and did pretty damn well before watching any of scorpianz videos and now I have even more in my arsenal thanks to him. If you really want to any of these killers you can be good with it's up to your preference/desire/effort on who to use.

Try to boob her snoot, and she'll make all your questions about her answered

No it seems like you understand her pretty well lol.
She has lots of design flaws with all the parts of her power including her addons.
She needs quite an overhaul.

The rng can both work insanely well for her or be astoundingly weak. Scorpionz is proof that she's decently strong in good hands, then again he plays the game for a living so the average player won't have anywhere near as deep an understanding of her as a killer.
I think she's meh. A lot of hate the killer gets is from players who cheese the beartraps by chasing while in crouch and not stopping the timer.

She is weak. But you shouldnt ambush when you sneak up on someone. Just stand up and hit with a normal attack.

She's one of the worst killers because of the fact her power is completely RNG based. She has no control over it. Changing the activation of end game traps was also a huge nerf to her power.

Check out Scorpionz's stream. He's a pig main and can do magic with her.

I main pig and what she is good at is wasting time. You need to use add ons like the gears, timer and purple map. All other ones are usless. I do not bother with the ambush attack but the stealth can come in handy every now and then. Just throw traps on anyone you down let them go search boxes instead of doing gens or go find them at the box and down them. Pig is a great killer.

I've never played pig, but I hate going against her for one of the same reasons. Her RNG based traps can penalise you just because the RNG gods hate you. I have removed an RBT on my second try once. every other time its been third or more often fourth. I have NEVER removed it first try.
I abhor RNG based mechanics, simply because I am so damn unlucky. I'm so glad they changed trapper for this reason, I once attempted to free myself 16 times with no luck. In the end, killer had finished his chase, hooked the survivor and then come back to me and I was still struggling.
As killer, I would never play Pig because I know it'd be the opposite case, everybody removing first try. It sounds like you have similar luck to myself. But for killers with better luck than us, maybe they have a much better time.

Pig's my second most played killer. She's not particularly strong, no. Her ambush is at its strongest when you sit in the middle of a pallet and then run out to one side on a small loop, and her traps are more of a slowdown mechanic than anything - put traps on two different people and you're not going to see a gen get completed for a long time. Without gears/tampered timer/sketch, you're only going to get kills if you harass players with active traps, and that's not necessarily the best use of your time. Her best addons are purples, yellows, and a brown, which is a bit bizarre.
I love her because a third of my games, survivors will randomly stop fleeing me and instead try to boop my snoot. Or I sneak up to them at the start of the match, charge into them blade-first, and they don't even run away after the first hit connects, just point. Some of my best DBD experiences come from Piggy. Her stealth is pretty lackluster, but survivors won't always run away when they see her creeping up through the grass because they want to check if her boop button works.

As a former Pig main, Pig is a weak killer, but the right killer for those who enjoy her. I definitely think she needs a full-on rework, her ambush is too inconsistent and even some of her add-ons are scuffed, the ones that affect her RBTs.

I don't understand her either. That pigs mask just muffles her voice too much

While scorpionz is a great player that doesn’t really show that pig is good. Her add ons are a mess and her traps are still very Rng reliant.
Without using combat straps and medical file getting ambushes at loops is near impossible.

Yeah, I think our girl Amanda deserves to get her nerfs reverted. It is not enough, but it would help her a lot.

The things I'd like to see with Pig are an addon pass (pretty much everything pertaining to Jigsaw box skill checks needs to go, and most of her status-effect-while-wearing-a-trap are bad - mangled is weak because most players won't stop to heal with a trap on, hemorrhage is always bad, blindness is bad when the only thing they're going to be looking for isn't hidden, and exhaustion is the best, but the Pig generally shouldn't be chasing players with traps), inactive traps preventing you from leaving through the gates, the EGC timer acting like someone is hooked/dying whenever anyone has a trap on, and her roar coming later in her ambush than at the very start so that survivors have less ability to react and she's more rewarded for successfully sneaking up on people.

The point of the traps really isn't about getting kills, but taking survivors off gens. Look at it as having a free gen defense perk. Not many killers can say that.
That's actually the biggest reason she's not considered the weakest simply because she has that built in slow-down.
