Changes to Pig's Addons

While most of her addons need tweaking, I want to focus on the most worthless ones. Specifically, her Workshop Grease and Razor Wires addons. Increasing the skillcheck trigger odds does nothing since the skillchecks are extremely easy and actually helps Survivors if they hit great skillchecks. Here is how I would change them.


Workshop Grease

  • Slightly decrease skillcheck success zones (-10%)

Razor Wires

  • Moderately reduces skillcheck success zones (-20%)

    That sounds much better tbh, I love the idea of more skillchecks but I know for a fact from experience it is not a problem and in some cases actually helps the Survivor.

    I think she deserves a full blown add-on update.

    The crouch/ambush part of her kit is technically half of her power, but we have very few GOOD add-ons that affect that.

    Imo she should have bonus movespeed while crouch add-ons, longer range on ambush attack add-ons and maybe even an ultra rare instadown on ambush attack add-on. And maybe we should retire the skill check on Jigsaw Boxes add-ons. Against decent players they're worthless.

    I put this in another thread but I came up with an Ultra Rare add-on that's much better than what she has. I didn't come up with a name for it but basically when a Survivor searches 2 Jigsaw boxes they have the option of taking off their mask in exchange for it attaching to someone else. Their timer is decreased by 15 seconds and is immediately activated.

    I think her Combat Straps which are now almost pointless should increase her crouch speed instead.

    I haven't played Pig in a bit but when I play her I either use no add-ons or use box and timer add-ons because everything else feels pointless. A total rework of her add-ons would help her out a lot, she can be very lethal make Survivors afraid if her add-ons were redone.

    If they put the roar at the end of her charge instead of the beginning and then put most of her status effect add-ons onto her Ambush instead of her traps that could be enough right there.

    That roar change would be amazing. It would make ambush a lot better but she is still way too slow. Also, what do you think of Pig getting the ability to grab survivors off gens, vaults, etc while ambushing?

    Nice but... here's the thing.. if people want the timer to stay the same lets let the Addons stay the same where it increases zones but... Instead of normal skill checks make it great skill checks instead ;)

    I would say changing the success zones is counterproductive. The smaller the skill checks, the more chances they hit great skillchecks.

    Grabbing Survivors off Gens during an Ambush? If it was possible I would be using it more often, that would be badass. If they implemented that somehow I would love it because right now I sneak to get close then stand back up and get the grab more often than you'd think. I never use the Ambush unless I think I can land it in a chase, I know Tru3 can use it at pallets but damn that's hard.

    Make her skill checks work with huntress' lullaby. Idk why it doesn't in the first place. I wanna be able to do impossible skill check piggy once.

    If I'm being honest, I'm not terribly in love with the idea. It's better than what we currently have, but I have to agree with @gantes that the Skill Check add-ons aren't any good against decent players and are better off being replaced completely.

    Exactly. You guys need to realize that, like with most killers in the game, Amanda remains competitive until like purple ranks?

    Where she needs help (and most killers do) is against really good survivors. And really good survivors will be hitting great skill checks in gens 80%+ of the time, so they will have no trouble whatsoever with her Jigsaw Box skill checks.

    On top of that, if you overcomplicate the skill checks at the boxes, it will make her OP against average-to-bad survivors. So it's a lose-lose situation.

    When thinking about killer changes, we need to think where they're underperforming. Amanda isn't underperforming against average-bad survivors, I'm not sure any killer is. She, like most killers, needs help against really god survivors. Changing skill checks won't help. Changing her stealth/ambush attack might help.
