Plague is just..

That's why you want to run Spirit fury/Enduring/Bamboozle combo with her. Works like a charm and punishes non-healers pretty hard.

Ah the band aid build.

it's not even slightly. against legion you still heal in the endgame to get the gates and to rescue people after the gates are open. Or you risk being m1 and slugged.

If you cleanse at any time, you are giving her a huge power boost.

And again, that's if she didn't plan ahead and take the only 2 good add-ons she has.

Already corrupted pools, and more pukier puke.

All that being said, i don't really like her gameplay.

Plague is super, i mean which other killer counters Iron Will, Adrenalin and Self Care? I found that alot of people just can´t play her.

People don´t heal? Then have you ever tried to play Thanatophobia? Also her power can be used as a weaker version of Surveilance (that also applies to your totems). And it does not stop here. Have you ever searched hours for an infected survivor on the ground because you didn´t run deerstalker? Probably not, because infected survivor emmit bright green particles all the time.

I really love the Plague!

@George_Soros Also she has 115% speed. Players don't heal against the old 110% Legion but will probably start to do so after the changes with the midchapter update.

@GhostrickSpecter

You don't get it, do you? You can loop a 115% Killer for minutes relatively easy, depending on the map.

You can't loop a Plague with corrupted purge for more than 20 seconds regardless if you're injured or healthy. It's almost as if you give The Clowns gas the ability to damage Survivors.

Not to mention that it takes her 1 second to put you back into the infected state. You gotta be F-Tier if you really think using fountains doesn't make a difference for her. She can puke on me all she wants as long as it does nothing but infect me. Give her the corrupted perk and no chase will last longer than a few seconds.

@Hoodedfengm1n

Dude obviously there are places where you can still loop her, stop nitpicking. You did get the point or didn't you?

I can loop a 115% Killer on any existing loop, all I need is a pallet or window. I can also loop a Nurse on certain maps in certain areas, that doesn't mean the Nurse is now all of a sudden loopable, does it? Of course there are exceptions. No Killer is 100% loop-proof, not even Nurse.

@Hoodedfengm1n

Thanks for that input, however the discussion was about how wise it is to use the fountains when infected.

No harm meant but your statement made it look as if you support people that use fountains because "the Plague is still loopable even with the corrupted purge". While this might be true in some situations, that doesn't justify using the fountains ;-)

Then she gets to use the fountain and its much harder to loop her.

Are we seriously saying she is weak to SWF now? Like, I dunno, all killers?

@PiiFree Being reminded of the incompetence of your teammates is unfortunately true of every game that requires heavy teamwork. It's why they've all fallen apart once they hit the general public of the average gamer. They really only work as intended in a controlled environment, such as playing with a consistent team of friends, or in an eSports team.

Typically, you would balance around the higher end of the skill-rank spectrum. Except here you can't even do that, since their ranking system looks like something that a first-year design student would have put together.

My biggest issue with the Plague's power is it doesn't encourage the survivors to cleanse on it's own. What do I mean by that? It's mechanic effects are no worse than taking No Mither and it's drawbacks can leisurely be dealt with _when the survivor wants to_. Bad at loops? Go cleanse. Good at loops? Don't bother. It also doesn't help that many of her add-ons are cross purpose with each other, buffing only one aspect of her power and the ones that buff Corrupted Purge are completely controlled by the survivor team's willingness to cleanse.

Here is what I would do to help the Plague -

Vile Purge - Infected also causes Exhaustion after being in the Broken status for 30 seconds.

Add-ons -

--- Black Incense - Survivors' Auras are revealed to you for 5 seconds when they vomit. Corrupted Purge now applies Infection.

--- Severed Toe - The Infection time on objects does not have a duration. When a survivor Cleanses themselves at a Pool of Devotion all Infection on objects is removed.

--- Limestone Seal - Slightly increases the infection time on objects. Infected Survivors cause an action speed penalty of 1.5% per a survivor.

--- Haematite Seal - Moderately increases the infection time on objects. Infected Survivors cause an action speed penalty of 3.0% per a survivor.
