Nobody is playing Plague
I hope this is only happening to me, but plague games are really hard to find, i have been playing all day long and i havent faced a single plague.
Do people really dislike her that much? she is not in my top 5 favorite killers but she is not that bad, you people should give her a chance

I'm not playing this game until they fix matchmaking. It's a joke at the moment.

It didn't take long for survivors to adapt to her, that and her abysmal point gain doesn't really give incentive to play her over other, more powerful options. Plague is also pretty mediocre in terms of her kill potential and efficiency, especially after the nerfs she received coming out of the PTB. I'm afraid it's business as usual after this week for most killers.

Been playing her since the PTB and i think i gonna main her just like Nurse, Spirit and Hag.

Only successful plagues I've face had to tunnel and camp, other than that they are really easy to face. Hope this is just the learning curve and not a result of the changes made.

Quick! Theluckyboi isn't getting the Plague as a killer! Someone do something!!!!

Yeah I really enjoyed her during the PTB but the last second change to her MS while HOLDING her M2 was too much. Sure she got other buffs but they mean absolutely nothing when you're trying to get out of a loop. She's just a basic M1 killer now. Kinda ######### sad honestly.

I'm not seeing her hardly at all either which is very odd for a recent DLC release. I don't blame them though, she's just weak after they neutered her from the PTB.

she sucks

She is too weak just ring a-round the rosie her around an object that can break LOS and watch 3 gens get done before she downs you lol

That's what happen when you cater to the childish majority while balancing.
Who would have thought ?

The PTB nerf plus her lack of cutting corners make her a bad killer.
If her sickness wouldn't slow her down like in her earlier state it would be better, but there need to be an incentive to heal, like reduced action speed.
Her biggest weakness are trees, pillars and everything that breaks LOS.
Survivors quickly found out that you just can run in circles and there is absolutely nothing she can do besides waiting for bloodlust to stack up...
The fountains don't differentiate if you got injured be the sickness or by a hit, you getting a free instaheal. I sometimes infect myself on purpose to get a fast heal.
Her puke is fun, but in a chase you have a problem. Do you puke on the survivor and wait/puke some more until they get broken or you just hit them twice like a m1 killer and nullify your own power?
She is a m1 killer with a gimmicky power.
It can maybe potentially help you in the chase...but often it doesn't. If you lose your Target they get a free heal.
Corrupted Veil is nice if you hit someone (not getting LOS broken or run in a circle) but you lose the infection aspect of the power.
Over pallets and windows it is great tho.
Need to experiment more on her but I would say she is mid to low tier. Gravitate more to low.

What do you expect when they nerfed her to the groud? she gets slowed while charging the power, while holding the power and after using the power. What the heck? She feels like playing slower Nurse sometimes. she has too many downsides to her power and survivors have too much upsides to HER power as well.

Sorry but you won’t see me playing her till rank reset so I can try to get the adept achievement!

I'm having fun with her, but I do personally keep myself in the low ranks so I always go against potatoes. Not for any feeling of superiority, but so I can have fun which is what I want as a Killer. Survivor is where I try and see how high I can climb (7 currently being my record)
That being said, I feel I'm playing Plague unconventionally. Yes I puke on Survivors to get them sick, but that's just so I can find them when I slug them (Love that puke noise notification). Mostly I use my puke to trap gens and totems. If I puke on a gen, walk away, and see a Survivor get sick, I just go right back to the gen.
I do hope she'll get a movement buff to her puking though. I do believe Killers SHOULD be OP to the point you DON'T want to be found. Seems like the point of the game to me anyways...

I play as her unless my daily is for another killer.
I've played against her 3/5 survivor matches I played yesterday. One person sucked with her, the other two were really good and got 4k. If played right, she's hard to loop, especially after she gets corrupted plague.

"She is not in my top five . . . you guys should give her a chance." Just an observation of hypocrisy.
Now the Plague has several things going against her, but the reason I don't play her anymore is her awful BP income. I can get more BP than her on SURVIVOR if I get a good game, and all of my other killers beat her in this aspect as well.
So already her low BP income deters me, but then when I objectively examine her I just get really depressed honestly. She had so much potential but the direction the devs took her was okay during the PTB. Post-PTB and she's just a disappointment.
7 -
I haven't played a lot lately, but I managed to face only one Plague.
Maybe it's because I didn't play her in the PTB, but I don't find her bad as people say. But I agree with Peasant about her BP gain... 25 for infecting survivors is wierdly low.

I NEVER see Clown on PS4 but I have had a few plague matches. My guess is not many people bought her (or the DLC as a whole) so you are not seeing many players right now.
0 -
I’m not playing her because I’m using other killers with blood point offerings to level her up to p3 so I’m ignoring buying purple perks for the cost of the bloodpoints. Once I have her at p3 I’ll start playing her
0 -
I've actually been having 2K consistent games with her (rank 13 rn) and actually double pipped as her. I don't have sole pro strategy or anything. I'm using brown add-ons too, she can snowball had, but only for a bit
0 -
She was fun to play in the PTB probably because people didn't know how to play against her but honestly now that the initial excitement of a new killer has faded, I don't find her that fun at all.
Maybe Green/purple Ranks she'd do better but sadly she's another killer to add to the list that wont be viable at red ranks or against SWF.

I’m not playing her as much because I’m getting BP to put into her so I can P3 her. I can’t use her to farm BP because I don’t have BBQ and she gets very little BP compared to other killers. Her deviousness is not nearly enough.
I also don’t have my main build I want to use on her so I’m stuck using perks like MYC and Agitation.

I don’t find her fun to play as tbh, fun to play against though.
0 -
It's fun playing against her and playing with her.
but being gen rushed because not playing nurse and then bullied in the end game chat by some minorities, is not what I am up for.
I am playing billy currently, yeah I camp, yeah I tunnel.
The game punishes me when I try to play fair anyways.

Good, getting constantly puked on, and watching my survivor wretch gets old really fast. Love her design and backstory, but puking on people, really?
1 -
Still plenty of them on Xbox. However aside from myself, I haven't seen any that are that successful with her. Most only seem to barely get a kill. I've played against a few and gave them some pointers after the game. Biggest mistake = overreliance on puke to inflict Broken. More often it's better to puke on them and either let them go to find a fountain (only if you find another target though) or just hit them with your normal attack. Puke is more useful on gens as a deterrent and semi-Surveillance. Also, effectiveness add-ons are by far the best right now, followed by apples and object infection time.

the genrushing in this update is madness, why would I play with such a bad killer?
2 -
im just having way too much fun with the Trapper than to switch.
besides that, im currently leveling Spirit, so my Plague is still lvl 1. I'll play her, once i got her to lvl 50.
0 -
I saw her a lot for the first couple of days. Now I see her maybe once a day out of many matches.
Very much like the Clown. He became scarce after his first couple of days of release.

Plague is not a bad killer like a lot of people say. She’s easily on par with Myers. She’s top mid tier. She just can’t compete with killers like Nurse, Spirit, and Billy. She has no map pressure.
0 -
I rather enjoy using the plague. Yeah, she has a lot of shortcomings with her craptastic map pressure and wonky power, but overall she is fun to me.
I think it’s just because you flail someone in the head with an incense burner. For some reason that is absolutely hilarious. She could’ve gotten a knife, a club, an axe, or any Babylonian weapon.
Nope, you get an iron censer on a chain. To me, that’s comedy.
Plus she looks cool as hell.

No map pressure and non-existent mobility pretty much ensure that she remains in the middle of the pack at best. Against good survivors, she's undoubtedly at the lower end of any tier list, I'd imagine. I think people are just happy she wasn't a disaster from a design perspective like Legion, so she got a pass for the first week or so. Once the dust settles, it'll be back to the usual suspects in ranked.

Hey Guys, i got The Plague to P3. Without good perks like enduring/spirit fury/ bbq and ruin she's really weak. She can be fun, but at higher ranks/swf it's just really not that great.To show you here's a example of a match from me tonight.
2 addons for more effectiveness vile purge, Gens go fast, no map pressure, swf, toxic post game chat, dbd in a nutshell atm. 5yes i did wajnted to secure a kill after the gens were done)

Stockpiling Bloodpoints as I just got my Doctor to level 41 for his Teachable Perks and will prob level Plague up next, esp after getting Monitor & Abuse unlocked
Never played her but she's always fun to play against. I kinda worry that she nay be add-on dependant to do consistently well, but that's because I've only seen her 0-2k and not be overly threatening (again just my experiences facing her)
0 -
I have been having decent luck with Corrupt Intervention + Ruin in conjunction with vile purge on gens. Really helps slow down the gen rush which she desperately needs to combat. I love her design and playstyle personally and have been playing a ton of her. It is a lot harder to 4k with her though when compared to other killers.
0 -
She is not in a good spot right now and so very few people play her. She isn't unplayable but she isn't fun to play as either and she's totally reliant on her own perks more so than other killers.
There are other killers better to play as right now and so until they fix her and make her fun to play as this trend will continue. Her perks are great, her power is not.

<_< I mean sure it's purple ranks but I'm doing just fine as her. I run cooldown and charge speed add-ons for a howitzer vomit stream. Add on to the fact that breaking your Obsession grants you stacks of Remember Me and that survivors don't like cleansing and you end up with a free extra 30 seconds on gate opening ^_^
0 -
Nobody is playing her because they found out in their first match with her that her vomit's hit detection is borked! When you vomit at a survivor its almost as if its RNG if they will get infected or not.
I've done full charges of vomit at a survivor in a straight line, with them getting hit by the whole stream yet they show zero signs of being infected.
In most of my matches with her, if I want a chance in hell of infecting a survivor I have to vomit on a pallet, pray to god the pallet actually gets contaminated(1 out of 3 times it isn't), and then wait for them to drop it just so they can get infected.
2 -
I gave her a shot, played a couple games and here's what i discovered, She's a D tier Huntress.
Sure she is 115 but.
- She slows when taking in vomit just like the Huntress with a hatchet, and after completion she slows again
- She can be looped to oblivion, sure you can vomit but it does no damage unless you have a red fountain which makes her the same as, you guessed it Anna.
- Hitboxes are busted AF, why would anyone want to use an arcing ability that barely registers actual hits? sure it's slightly more forgiving than the Huntress being a channelled ability so you have more chances at a hit, but has shorter range and it has slower travel speeds.

I had three games in a row against Plagues yesterday evening. Currently rank 4 as survivor.

In ways the plague reminds me of the clown. Excellent design, fun mechanics with a good deal of depth. But ultimately the reward for hours spent learning her does not pay off for the lethality you get from her. She has similar chase mechanics to huntress without the lethality and power of a huntress hatchet. Her fountains makes the act of healing a large timesink significantly lower and her power requires her to cross large distances for a upgrade that is quite strong but again time spent accessing that power without her weak map pressure makes gens vulnerable to gen rush. She came in at the wrong meta as a result good players will get subpar results from her. She will remain lower mid tier as long as gen rush and her power continues to assist in gen rush.

@BadMrFrosty They nerfed 1 thing about her and buffed and fixed everything else. The thing they NERFED was her movement speed while holding fully charged vile and corrupt. They buffed her movement speed while charging vile and corrupt. They increased corrupt duration. Vile lasts longer on objects so on, lol she wasn't nerfed.
0 -
Guess why.
I dont play her after the movement speed nerf either.
Sucks that the devs dont want to introduce viable killers, but whatever
