Pig now B Tier?

I have the feeling pig is now a lot stronger then before. She didn't get any power changes but... Her addons got changed so hard that I think she is now really good.

You can do so many different combos now that work well together

6 traps

16 Meter aura + faster sneak attack

Survivors start with trap + they can't see the boxes before the trap is active

Even addons alone are now much better then before

Thanks bhvr for this amazing change

    Pig's always been a C tier killer, people just rate her lower because she's inconsistent.

    Once her addons all work I think she's going to be in a much healthier spot- not to say she doesn't still need work, but it's definitely cemented her as a "pretty okay actually" type of killer.

    ..do you actually want them to start with inactive traps on and just blitz them off before gens? barring certain indoor maps it's turned out to be far, far weaker than people seemed to expect it'd be in practice

    Maybe if she is b tier for bad...

    remember when traps didn't require a gen to pop to activate so she could hold the endgame hostage


    i swear the only killers that're allowed to have an extremely oppressive basekit attribute are nurse and bubba

    I'm not going to tier a killer based on add ons so no, pig is not b tier

    She is in a better spot but starting with traps on head is only good against SOME solo lobbies. Any team with a brain won't worry about this. I played against it last night and my team felt they had to blindly find the boxes before working any gens so I repaired one gen and there was only me and Elodie with 2 hooks. I walked to the Pig and tried to boop (last ditch ever) and it was a Pig that had no clue what I was doing.....Few seconds later killed me. The betrayal.

    No. I do not think so. Her add-ons just do not feel like they do nothing anymore and some are even quit good now. If you consider add-ons she could be a solid C-tier right now on par with Clown and Ghostface.

    Workshop Grease is now a realy good add-on for sure and as a yellow add-on quit obtainable. I wonder how it will look if you put on the Grease with a Last Will for sure. And the video-tape is now a good early game slowdown when you add "Ruleset Number 2" to the mix.

    Disagree.

    I think six RBTs + four boxes are about as good as five RBTs + five boxes.

    I don't think new Last Will is worth using with anything other than new Workshop Grease.

    New Video Tape + Rules Set No. 2 I think might actually be worth using, so I'll give you that.

    Her add-ons, for the most part, are either about as good/bad as they were before, slightly better, or slightly worse. She has roughly the same number of trash add-ons (and in fact, a lot of her trash add-ons remain untouched). For all the changes they made, it doesn't really seem to amount to any major shift for Pig.

    In terms of add-on variety, she's gotten better, but at the cost of her best add-on being nerfed (Tampered Timer). At the end of the day, Pig is still an RNG dependent Killer, so she remains low-tier.
