Should survivors not be able to see fountain auras?
- They’re plentiful around the map with a really loud water trickle noise.
- Unlike boxes, you are not on a timer to die. You are also free to leave the map without curing yourself.
- Plague only has access to corrupt auras.
- You get free full heals courtesy of the killer while the killer doesn’t get much from it to truly be worth that price.
Plague needs something that’s directly in her favor like every other killer has (even Freddy with his sexy aura reads, slow downs, and devious add ons.)

I wouldn't mind. The only downside is that it would probably just encourage staying sick and working on gens even more.
There needs to be an actual incentive to not be sick other than the one hit down, like slower gen repair or something.

That is very true. I made a buff suggestion in another thread here:
I feel like Plague is ALMOST there, but not quite in terms of balance and I just want her to be good. I feel a little protective towards her because I feel like she just got brushed aside and she COULD be a good killer for killers AND a fair one for survivors, unlike Mixtape Legion. I want her to succeed.

But people curing themselves is good as it allows you to get the red vomit.
Don't think effects like slower generator progression should be added or anything, as you already infect others and the generator if you keep working on it. More people infected either means more vomit that allows you to down survivors or 1 hit down opportunities

No thanks I don’t believe we should be buffing the plague even more

With how quickly you can use them, I think having to search them out is a fair trade. Plague only sees them after they are corrupted and the effort of searching would be a nice bonus to her map pressure without adding a debuff to survivors.

This exact suggestion was shot down over and over in the PTB.
That would be a Plague nerf. The killer wants survivors to use the fountains as that is the only the way they get access to their most powerful ability.

So much this.

Doesn't really matter if we see them or not, nothing is forcing you to use a fountain and it only buys the killer a few seconds of gen defense while your searching. If a survivor doesnt want to use a fountain then they're not going to until decidedly otherwise. Killer also gains the chance of finding them broken while survivors are searching. As is it just means a b-line to the fountain when they do want to heal.

I agree that there should be something more negative to being infected. A slower repair speed would be interesting. Maybe they could have to stop repairing every so often to puke? I'm not sure how I feel about the auras.

Red vomit is an aoe ranged attack that can down survivors. It also has no cooldown. It's a trap to cure from the fountain.
