After the updates, Plague is too strong.

She's as bad as legion. She was sneaky strong when boons became a big deal, but now she keeps pretty much the whole map broken and exposed. You either drink and she gets a lazer beam, or you just play at 1 health.

    Ironically I just played against plague twice tonight and neither did very well.

    1. First one woulda been a 1k but 2 people suicided to get me out which while nice of them I probably shoulda let myself die on hook so that didn't turn into a 2k.
    2. Second one 0k'd with about 6 hooks.

    Both were stacking slowdowns so I don't think plague is oppressive in the hands that doesn't main them and I don't think you ever don't cleanse against a plague now when they all use thana and dead hard is a shell of itself so playing against her is pretty straight forward. Pretty much just always cleanse and try to stun her out of her power when she has it and you should be okay.

    lmaoo Plague is easy. Oni is the one that needs the nerf who might I add also has the FLICK EXPLOIT that can hit through corners and pallets.

    You've pretty much just described how everyone's been playing against her since she came out: You either stay infected and rush gens, or you risk giving her (arguably) the best ranged attack in the game in order to take an additional hit. Plague has always been the anti-heal killer, and Boon: CoH only made that more obvious when it came out.

    Honestly, aside from people abandoning dead hard, despite it being actually a bit better if timed right, Plague is still playing like plague always has, and so are survivors who play against her.

    If she's got a gen slow down build with perks like thanatophobia: risk it and cleanse instead, It's not like her ranged attack is unavoidable.

    If she's going for any other non-gen slowdown build: stay sick and rely on your chase/looping/juke skills, but otherwise rush gens and only cleanse when the gates are powered.

    I haven't noticed any difference in how people play against her for the past few days, and she's one of my mains, so... Maybe I just don't get what you're intending to say... I'm still having games I win, and games I lose with her, even after all the buffs killers received this patch. Perhaps I just suck at playing this game, despite having over 3k hours in it, mostly as killer, or perhaps I'm just feigning ignorance because I've always secretly known how devious and overpowered this goddess of a killer is, and don't want the community to catch on becau-

    I stunned one out of her power today and she dced so it can't be all that bad.

    But yeah, she is quite oppressive with the buffs but not unbeatable. I've still had almost 4 man escapes going against her. I will say she is annoying to go up against with thana and other slowdown perks simply because doing gens for extended periods of time gets boring. However, the trick to beating her is doing strategic cleanses in zones where gens have already been finished so that it wastes her time if she decides to go there and gain her power. Otherwise, she is pretty easy to loop since she is a tall m1 killer without her power and can buy time for other survivors to do gens. (Although I agree that trusting others to do gens in solo queue is a bit of a stretch)

    No, she is not even close to top 5 killers in the game.

    It's not plague, its insane amount of gen perks and the fact that generators don't have a penalty cap.
