The Pig needs help.
I don't know, nor care about how many Pages have been written. How many people argued about this and if someone is in the right or wrong.
Background:
Im a Fan of the Saw Franchise. Have been for 4 Years.
I started playing Dead by Daylight in 2020.
I have mained the Pig for 3 Years.
The Problem:
...Now, before you go comment on this and try to prove a point wrong.
Please, at least SKIM over this to Re-THINK, what you're about to say and to Awnser my lovely questions below.
The Pig is frustrating.
Her Actions, are too Slow.
Her Ambush Attack, is too Slow and not even Suprising.
Her Perks are basically useless, unless its on another Killer.
Her Traps are a Joke, unless you decide to be a Prick and tunnel Survivors with an active Headtrap.
Disagreement and Confusing Statements:
I have been talking to A LOT of people in the community. And with what they stated, they agreed on every single part i mentioned here.
Yet whenever that part reaches a Forum, it seems to be bashed down.
"She's fine."
"She's great as it is."
"She's actually in a really good spot right now."
"Why does everyone want her to get Buffed? She's Fine."
Define "Fine" To me.
In comparison to a Killer like, the Wraith or Ghostface, is she "Fine" in her Stealth aspect?
Can she just Suddendly hide her terror radius in 0.1 Seconds with a Click of a Button and then Still Fastly Hit Survivors and Crouch up and down within a matter of 0.1 Seconds too?
Does she have 3.8 M/S when she crouches down?
(She has 3.6 M/S.)
OR
When she crouches, does she become way faster than she usually is and with the help of 2 Add-ons can gain an Action speed of 80%?
The Awnser, is "No."
In Fact, she falls FAR behind those two and is even SLOWER than them with No Bonuses.
In Comparison to a Killer like Wesker or the Blight, is she "Fine" in her Chasing aspect?
Can she Glide Across Pallets, suddendly Dash forwards and grab Survivors + Infect them with a Game Mechanic that slows them when it reaches 100%?
OR
Can She fall into a fast dash, crash against falls and even break Pallets faster when shes in the rush?
The Awnser yet again, is "No."
She doesn't have neither of those Abilities. In fact, she doesnt even have something similiar.
But's and Wrong's:
Now, before you write what i will assume you will.
Then Yes.
The Pig has Traps that she can put onto Survivors heads that can Kill them if they don't get it off in time.
However, in all of my 500 Matches with her, the only time the Trap has been Triggered has been in 15(?) Of them.
Because the Time of the Timer is LONG and even with Add-ons, every Survivor will work their Butt off just to get that little piece of Metal, off of their Head.
Not a Strong Number? Right?
Aside from that, to put that Trap onto a Survivors Head, she would need to down them first, which OH, you need to have a RELIANT Chase aspect for to actually succeed into getting that Survivor.
"Yes, thats what her Ambush Dash is for."
And i say: Yes, that's what PALLETS and Area blocking windows are for.
Stand in the Middle of the Pallet or Simply Vault Cowsheds Window and the Ambush Attack is as useless as before.
So Literally: Her Ambush Dash is near a basic M1 attack with her blade, that slows her down when she builds it up, makes a Loud and Alerting Noise, Takes Long to Build up and then she becomes Faster for a Few Seconds until she missed the Survivor and then even gets SLOWED DOWN to 3.6 M/S.
Which by the way, is 0.4 M/S SLOWER Than Survivors and back to her Crouching Speed that is 3.6 M/S too.
Heck, even SLOWER than the Nurse.
FANTASTIC Bloodpoints and Where to Find them:
The Last Point i would like to Take into Consideration is the beautiful aspect of:
Gaining Bloodpoints.
There are Killers like Nemesis that make 600-850 BP just from their Tentacle Attack.
And then, there are Killers like the Pig that ONLY get points from placing traps on Survivors Heads, Ambush Attacking, Setting a trap Off, having a 4k Sacrifice (Not Possible with Pig for the Most part.) and obviously Bleeding Survivors.
Wanna know how much she gets for the first two?
500.
500 BP for a SPECIAL Attack, that is mostly hard to perform and another 500 For Placing a Trap on a Survivors head that you finally managed to get down.
Obviously, not enough to fill the Category.
Why this wasn't Buffed during her Tome? ALSO, no Awnser. But I guess that's just me being Silly.
To Know and to NOT Know:
Some information that i have gathered from the people who say she's fine:
- In Most Cases, they dont play her. They just read through her power and assume it works great.
- The Matches they played were against LOW-SKILL Survivors, it has been proven over and over again that Every Killer existing in the Game can win against New Survivors, since AS YOU SHOULD KNOW, These people are not familiar with this game and therefore perform extraordinarily WORSE than the AVERAGE Survivor.
- They play her and tunnel Active Headtraps and on fact of using that TOXIC aspect of her power, call her a great Killer.
- They played her with a Camping or Tunneling Strategy.
If any of you happened above, which, don't be shy to share, then look at this post and tell me how i should understand your point from where you're comming from.
Would you understand someone that says your Mained Killer that perhaps deserves a Nerf/Buff is Great when all they did was use a Toxic In--Game Strategy you can perform with any Killer?
Would you believe them if all they did was play against Low-Skill Survivors?
Would you believe them if they have only played your Favorite Killer for like, 5 Matches or so?
This is important. Try to put yourself into my viewpoint and THINK.
Some Questions:
Why on all Aspects of Dead by Daylight's History do you not believe that she is in NEED of a BUFF?
What makes you think that this Killer that has been put into a Comparison by me from other Killers is in a great Spot?
What makes her "Fine"?
What isn't Frustrating about her?
For Clarification:
This is not a personal Attack on anyore. Just a little Post on here.
I won't in any way go into a Negative spot if you have a diffrent Opinion, CONSIDERING you have a fair Point and go into detail about your belief.
That was all. Thank you for your time.

I'm confused...
When she crouches, does she become way faster than she usually is and with the help of 2 Add-ons can gain an Action speed of 80%?
Did I miss the killer that can crouch and goes faster when crouched? Who that?
In general, she could use some buffs.
But I do like her perks from a lore standpoint. Except hangmans trick... that one feels a bit random.

That was Wraith who never crouches.
Yet when cloaked, he does hide his terror radius so you could say that he's "Croched" while cloaked.
