Amanda's Letter addon is too strong
Please nerf it, impossible to play against especially on indoor maps, if you can't nerf aura part of it at least remove all her bear traps

NERF PIG. the perfect joke.

A complaint about a Pig add-on. It's been a while.

A crouching pig being able to see your aura when close to you isn't really a problem. She has sound clues and you can still see her approaching. Plus she moves slower.
9 -
She moves really slow while crouched and she has her Reverse Bear Traps significantly nerfed from using this addon. There is no reason to nerf it when it already nerfs herself for an effect that is (in most cases) not worth the downside.

Ehh. I don’t like the add on but I don’t think it’s offensive enough to warrant changes. The trade off of having less RBTs is pretty hefty already.

I will admit, with the buff to her base crouching speed and her John's Medical File add-on still being 10% (granting 4.2m/s), thia add on is no longer in the trash meme tier, and is actually decently usable with the right build... especially on maps like Lery's and Midwich.
However, the loss of 2 RBTs is a massive deal and really hurts Amanda... At the end of the day, pre-dropping and hold W still hurts Pig a lot... this add-on only makes it so that at least you aren't left bamboozled by a misread ambush afterwards...

But unfortunately this addon has a cheating power that breaks all mindgames, and is also too strong on indoor maps where she will definitely give a hit thanks to this addon, especially this applies to solo survivors. For me, the stealth status effect should give hints that the killer is nearby (like mini terror, lullaby)

This is the same as Scratched Mirror Myers my guy. It's good on maps such as Lery's, Midwich or the Game, but bad on any other type of map.
I know why you believe the aura reading is overpowered, but it honestly isn't as strong as you think it is. The thing is, Pig and stealth killers in general are good on these maps; and without this add-on she is even more deadly on Lery's, Midwich and the Game.
A decently experienced Pig doesn't really need auras to play well on these maps, you can easily hear survivors on gens and follow injured and healing survivors with no possible lines of sight where they can see you, so she is still gonna find you easily and appear from behind a wall with almost no reaction time for you to make it anywhere before you take a hit. This is just inherent to stealth killers on these maps.
This means that not only are you still facing the same problems you'd be facing with Amanda's Letter, you are also facing 4 head traps instead of 2, and not having it frees her up to take even nastier add-ons...
So I'm not telling you to get good or anything but as someone who mains Pig, a good Pig will make you think they are running that add-on on those maps even if they aren't.

My crystal ball was consulted, and came back with the response "Outlook not so good!" 🤣😂

An addon being stronger on one kind of map is like a Killer, Perk, or tactic being stronger on one kind of map: Not an issue.
Myers is not an issue because he's stronger indoors.
Aura perks aren't issues just because they are better indoors.
This Pig addon is not an issue just because it works better indoors.
2 -
I hope that's a joke, it's still pig, even when she knows where you are she can't do much about you. It's basically just wraith yet again and there it's also not too strong, so I see even less of a reason to nerf it for pig xD
2 -
ahh yeah, the "nerf Pig" gimmick is back
4 -
Give survivors aura blocking abilities while crouched. It doesn't have to be long lasting, but I wish they had more trade offs. Maybe that would be better than nerfing the pig.
2 -
I would say this add-on is only strong for indoor maps, not impossible to face.
In fact this add-on is mediocre for an outdoor map, especially considering the loss of 2 bear traps.
Pig is very quiet so she can hit and run very efficiently but at the cost of a very slow map traversal.
This add-on doesn't deserve a nerf.
1 -
I play good (more than 3k hours) when the killer is somehow counterable and I repeat once again if you didn't understand I play solo and no one tells me the location of the killer. This addon is not healthy cuz my teammates don't want to play against such an addon so they just go next, this is a clear indicator that the addon is not okay, it is incomprehensible how you can defend this, here as in steam forums a lot of killer mains in the posts, what kind of double standards?!

My friend you seem to dogpile on Killers a lot here for no reason. Perhaps take a step back, cool your head, and approach from a balanced perspective?
Nobody is saying you are unskilled. Nobody is saying you are bad at the game or lack hours. People just would like any proposed Survivor changes to not completely neglect the Killer experience, and vice versa. Would it really be beneficial for Killer side to nuke a addon on a weaker Killer just because some Survivors dislike it?
Let me rephrase that: Was it fair to totally nerf medkits because they created issues for some Killers? Do you think it was a fair tradeoff to nerf WGLF after its buff when it wasn't much of an issue? Was it okay to change Spine Chill's vault speed because Spine Chill itself was an issue for Stealth Killers?
4 -
Yep they only nerf "good" survivors perks in few weeks but when it comes to broken perks/addons from killers nothing happens they just ignore them because tilted killer mains will whine here as it was with Chucky, when for me they made him balanced and actually fun to vs unlike before when he wins 90% of loops

It took half a year by my count to nerf MFT despite complaints about it from the start. It took 11 months to nerf Buckle the People as a meta combo. It took a year to nerf Circle of Healing. It took years to finally address Adrenaline.
BHVR does not nerf only Survivor things instantly, and it's not just tilted Killer Mains gaslighting anyone. In fact I see both sides here try to gatekeep and gaslight, a lot - you just don't notice it or you forgive it when your side does it. I understand that temptation, I have to remind myself that not everything other Killer Mains say is valid, too.
But please adjust your attitude about this game, and realize most people here play both sides. All your posts I have seen today have been needlessly aggressive, look like they are baiting, or imply that BHVR just doesn;t care about one side of the game. And I genuinely don't see the need for such aggression when not a soul here has attacked you tonight whatsoever.
If you truly feel this game is so problematic and unfun, why continue to play? Why ask for everyone else to have a worse time to make yourself have a good time?

You still won't leave me alone honestly, stop mentioning in every post as a stalker. I expressed my opinion and there is no bait here. I am mostly on the side of survivors since they are almost not buffed (especially solos like me) and their "good" stuff being gutted almost next day thanks to killer mains and I'm not talking about 2022 or 2023 it's all started last year, devs only buff killers and their builds

Those statements are objectively untrue man, and if your goal is to have people listen to your point of view to pursue that change, you can't say blatantly untrue statements if you want to have your points taken seriously.
As of October 2024 survivor changes included:
During the same period for killer:
There is no way you can claim that having the changes to Decisive Strike, Iron Will, Resurgence, Empathic Connection, Babysitter and Bloodrush, as well as the rather pleasant changes for all these other perks, in conjunction with the nerfs to the most popular/strong killer perks and the 10s hook timer increase is "gutting the survivor side".
Blatantly biased Us vs. Them statements tend to lead people to stop taking you seriously my guy.

Are you really crying over an addon that removes two of her traps and only works well on indoor maps? My God. She's still one of the worst killers in the game even with this addon, and two less traps takes away a lot of her map pressure.
5 -
It is a good add on paired with additional trap one. But come on it's pig, she deserves at least that.
3 -
So she deserves some free hits+free trap especially when paired with Lethal Pursuer? Does anyone even main survivors here? Or is dbd only a game for killers? If so, then make one challenge for both roles!
0 -
You are obviously unfamiliar with my posts but I guess I was called both killer and survivor only player throughout my years here.
The truth is I played survivor more than killer in total but I did play both at least. Still, I can't complain about a pig just because I played survivor more like yourself. I am against nerfing already weaker killers especially with no compensation. And to be honest I don't consider amandas letter nowhere near broken on m1 killer.
2 -
That add-on is too situational and map-dependant to be truly OP, and has a huge downside as well. Her "free-hit" aspect using it is not that different that Wraith, two killers I don't think I've ever compared before actually. 🤔
2 -
only can point out my shortcomings in posts when I speak the truth from the bottom of my heart and where is dbd going because of killers mains here who pretend to write that they also play for the survivors
