I used to like playing Plague.

Back in the day I could like angle the red hurl up over stuff and hit survivors on the other side of stuff.
But now you get it like once and Survivors refuse to use the Cleansing Pools and now its M1 gameplay.

I hope she gets a gameplay update next.

    Yeah. Plague is super boring to play nowadays. Survivors never cleanse and you're pretty much just a M1 killer.

    Sure I could do that but… its a BHVR problem if a Killer is only viable or fun gameplay with specific addons/ perks.

    This is why Im trying to get BHVR's attention on this issue, maybe they will understand that if the Survivor counterplay is to deny 90% of your secondary Power and they do so, then maybe playing that Killer is kind of bad.

    This is why I wont be playing Plague, I will be playing Killers who are more fun to play, but I still want to give BHVR a note.

    I agree with this 💯. I experience this every time I play plague.

    You shouldn’t HAVE to use certain addons all the time to get value out of a character.

    This is the issue with Sadako as well. Serious design flaws. 2 years later and no adjustments, or changes. I can’t say I am shocked plague has gone this long. I know she was due for some changes along with Pinhead but that never happened sadly.


    He’s another killer that has some serious issues with his main power, not to mention how buggy he is.

    I like her conceptually. What would you suggest the change be?

    Survivors now are experienced enough not to worry about playing injured, especially if doing so relegates the killer to M1 and nothing else.

    Perhaps have another stage beyond broken? Wesker's infection applies hindered, which forces your hand. The same kind of thing could work, maybe with some kind of caveat, given cleansing is much more of a trade off for her.

    Off the top of my head, have her infection progress beyond broken to another stage that also applies hindered, but only when all survivors are infected at the same time? That would force survivors to cleanse after long enough, but allow them to forego cleansing as long as they can see at least one person is healthy.

    it's a shame the addons considered problematic but I pretty much always use her red puke iri just for the confident gamers. feels a tad necessary to me

    I also hope she gets a rework nerfing hard her current playstyle. She's one of the worst designed killers in the game and has always been.

    I dont know what BHVR could do, because as I see it the counterplay is so strong it has destroyed any fun I could have.

    Someway need to be possible to either reduce the power strength to allow more power use or the other way around.
