Negativity aside, I know she has plenty of issues, but I really like her design. The music's also not so bad. I think with the right changes, she could be a very fun killer to play.

    She will be fun to play after QoL improvements.

    Aside from the gameplay - I like her design, voice lines, and her skin. With animations - I don't know.

    Absolutely nothing except 6,0 m/s on the way to gens. Dog feels like anything but alive and intelligent organism.

    Shes perfect from the aesthetics side, clothes, animations, voice, outfits, empowerment, chase music, terror radius, but, absolutely all things falls into the ground when u play her, dog feels stranger, robotic and so much weak, desmotivating, frustrating and difficult to use. i would like play her, but i wont.

    I love her design asthetic and really want to main her, but playing against survivors with a single brain cell is actually depressing. just worthless power.

    The scripting of her lines and voice acting is awesome. Portia keeps coming out with odd little lines that make me think "huh... that's clever".

    She's kinda growing on me as a killer, and I do have a lot of fun with her... her Chase power is weirdly satisfying to land... like a Trapper trap, it has a "Hah! Gotcha!" feeling about it, especially when he leaps a window and catches a survivor.

    I also like running along scent lines, feels awesome, and it's clever that the path gets mapped out regardless of Snug, so even if he gets stuck I can still use the ability to zoom around the map.

    One thing I would like is being able to swap between Search and Chase mode at any time, particularly when Snug is off searching… the number of times I want him on Chase for when he comes back from Search and I'm having to wait first and inevitably fumble my modes is infuriating.

    The only other thing that I would probably want is something to help her out vs. Snug getting stunned. If a survivor is injured, it'd be nice if they got Deep Wound or Haemorrhage after being bitten by Snug, just so her power still has some threat, even if it's pallet hell.

    I also want her torso bulking out a bit too. The legendary skin with the poodle looks awesome, because she has those big shoulder pads and pads on her arms to make her torso and arms look thicker. Even though it's an optical Illusion, this version of her looks a lot more imposing and bad ass. If her torso and arms were a little thicker at base, she'd be perfect IMO.

    Also I want a sea curse skin on her at some point. A true horror of the deep type deal 😏

    She has a loyal dog that gives off man's best friend.

    I like her style in outfits, her terror radius music (Minus the new chase music) I love her voice lines! So funny 😂 slaps survivor up on a hook “ooooooOOOOOOOO aaaaahahahahahahahahaha!”

    I love her strut lol and her weapon. I of course love snug despite his current issues. Her mori is fun and she’s a pirate 🏴‍☠️!

    She has very good voice-acting.

    Running from her and Snug is heart-pounding! It feels like the same rush in 2v8 when you manage to sometimes loop both Killers.
