I am sorry about the confusion. When I said fist hour Plague main, I meant that I played her as my main when she was released. Still , at the end of the post, I precised I’ve played her for thousands of hours.

I actually spent time playing her, learning some hard techs but also facing her as a survivor.

What I mentioned are just suggestions, they would not have to be all implemented at once.

Even if it happened, yes she would be powerful, but she would still be less powerful than some killers.

It is also true she is not the weakest killer as is, like trapper who also needs a reworks in my opinion.

There are several reasons as to why she is still a weak killer in my opinion :

• As I said, she is most of the time an M1 killer if you don’t use the iri addon, which I don’t. Of course, survivors can be broken, but they can fully heal themselves and once again, pools of devotions are most of the time a huge loss of time because located at the corner of maps.
• Her early game is not good at all, unless you use corrupt, 40 seconds infection is short and survivors will just wait to repair generators.
• Her ending game is also ultra bad. All survivors will cleanse at once. If you want to apply pressure, you need to have an endgame build including at least terminus and no way out. I want to be able to play as a killer without having to put a full ending build in my layout.
• Still in endgame, you cannot camp to try to put pressure, unless you have a corrupted pool of devotion, which is very situational.
• Her map control is terrible, you don’t have speed boosts, or teleports. Once everyone is infected, there is not further pressure to be applied, unless your have a corrupt purge, that is easily counterable with a pallet and loops in general. Moreover, if no one cleanses, you just have one corrupted pool of devotion for the entire game.
• Two other flaws she has are the censer’s smoke that makes her spotted from a great distance, and she is a tall killer, which is a big advantage for survivors because mindgaming is much more difficult compared to mid size and small killers, making it even harder for her to get an M1.

Most people dislinking plague are survivors that want to avoid infection at any cost. When decent teams have understood that you need to go for it and get infected, there is just no pressure left.

I am not saying that killers should have great powers to have 4ks every time (even if some killers are op). Otherwise, it would not be fun and I would only play as a survivor, but it is important to give every killer a chance against decent and experienced survivors.

I did not make this post to whine, but just to give some suggestions as to make Plague more enjoyable to play as. I also watched streamers who play as her and have the same feeling and frustration sometimes (puke going through a survivor or hitting without triggering the infection).

I would not say she is very powerful, nor the weakest killer in the game. Indeed, it takes practice to master her, which is the most interesting thing about killers because it is satisfying to master a killer. It would not be funny if it was too easy.

Though, I think they need to upgrade her a little, just to make her less vulnerable. Any mistake with Plague has a huge cost. She may not be the only one in that case though. I am talking about her because she is my main and because I spent a lot of time playing her.

I Hope she will. 😁 At least, make her playable, the pukes going through survivors without hitting is quite annoying.

Considering Plague’s low pick rate for several months, I would think otherwise but everything’s possible. We should learn more soon.

Almost all « buffs » I suggested are minor in my opinion. The only buff that would be strong is the infected pallet part. Everything does not have to be included and everything can be discussed.

You would understand that Plague is easily counterable if you had read all posts, which you obviously didn’t.

Judging aggressively as you do without the beginning of an argument is easy, making propositions is harder.

Sorry, but no credit can be given to someone who cannot discuss a subject peacefully. Have a nice day.
