Don't nerf Plague.

I can already picture people whining about her like they did with Wraith, and just don't, please.

If you feel you HAVE to touch her at some point, just do addons, frankly her base kit feels like sex now. So please just leave that ALONE.

    Why would they nerf her? I see her as a strong killer, but nothing to be worried about.

    "I see her as a strong killer" You answered your own question, if Wraith isn't safe from nerfs he did not need (his basekit lunge), neither is Plague. Killer isn't allowed to be "good", just "okay".

    I see where you are coming from, and I sadly do agree. Killers can't be strong without survivors complaining.

    The crying isn't loud enough yet give it a few weeks.

    Even though I love playing her, her power still largely boils down to being an M1 killer if the survivors don't choose to cleanse, and people don't tend to enjoy playing that much. That and a lot of her game is still dependant on survivor choices over her own. So even though she's stronger now, I don't see her play rate going up too much, so she probably won't get too complained about.

    That said I almost never saw a Deathslinger and he got neutered.

    I'll expect to see nerf trapper posts soon too. Then he will get some add-ons nerfed

    I honestly think plague needs a slight buff/QOL improvement of her power.

    My idea would be a mixture of clown/reverse Myers. Let her swap between vile purge and corrupt purge. Vile purge stays infinite, always usable. Corrupt purge has a set limit to its use, once it runs out of power Plague must then find a fountain that a survivor cleansed at to refill x% of the power meter.

    This would give the KILLER more options on how to play and not have their game dictated by survivors choices or cleanse or stay injured. They can be an M1 plague, a vile plague, or a corrupt plague who knows how to manage power and when to use vile purge for a refresh.

    There's a big difference in Wraith and Plague. Wraith is a high mobility Killer with a free hit, so he's very close to a one-hit down killer now, with permanent high mobility so he can patrol gens much better than most Killers which is what sets S and A Tier killers apart from all the other Killers.

    I give it half a year maximum. "We figured out Plague is a bit op" following with nerfs that make her unplayable.

    I think it will take some time but sooner or later Plague will get the Hillbilly treatment and get worse than before this buff.

    It's dbd and Survivors control the game. If they don't like playing against Plague, they will cry and she will get nerfed similar to Wraith or Deathslinger (which weren't that good to begin with)

    Wraith was a B tier Killer at best, he is still an M1 Killer and his hit was most certainly NOT free, not against good players. But Devs don't take that into consideration, just how Killer performs against bad players. Good Survivors are allowed to be as good as possible while good Killers get nerfed into the dirt because bad Survivors crawl to the forums and start crying about stupid #########, like Franklin's Demise or something.

    And then the Devs bow down and listen.
