Buff pig.
Problems with The Pig:
-Rng based
-has an ability "Ambush" that has an obvious warning when it is about to be used, negating the stealth aspect of it.
-Crouch just doesn't work most of the time, by this I mean you're often spotted by survivors. Object of Obsession and Spine Chill completely counter it.
-A generator being completed isn't a fair trade for a very, very small chance to kill a survivor that can be derailed by Rng
-Four traps just isn't enough, they're too easy to remove. 5 basekit would be fine.
-Nothing to help with a chase
-Survivors not only have plenty of time to get the traps off (depending on the map), but they can also get them off before they are even activated.
Suggested buffs for the pig:
Crouching will reveal how close generators are to being completed by the intensity of their auras
Ambush is now quiet
The Pig gets a trap back when a survivor wearing one is sacrificed via a hook
Anytime survivors fail a skill check for any action, the timer on the trap is decreased by 5 seconds.
Getting a trap off will cause the survivor to suffer from the broken status effect for 90 seconds. Healing another survivor will remove the effect.
Traps now activate when a generator is completed or when the survivor is healed into the Healthy state.
Comments
From what I understand, Huntress Lullaby already specifically did not work with Jigsaw Boxes.
good to know, i'll edit it out.
The traps are ok. The only thing that is bad about pig is the rest of her kit. Like her Ambush is too situational and her crouch is almost useless.
i already suggested a rework on another topic, but ######### it I will copy paste my suggestions with some adjustiments here as well.
PIG REWORK
If the exact number or something is not cited, it means I think it should stay as it is.
CROUCH
1) Pig suffers no speed penalty. Not when entering in crouch, not during crouch, not exiting crouch. This means she will always move at a 4.6m/s or 115%
2) Pig’s crouch mechanic will now be cooldown based.
· The cooldown will be shown like how Freddy’s or Legion’s cooldown is shown
· Crouch has a total of 25 charges.
· During the ability, Pig consumes 1.25 charges per second.
· With zero charges, the ability cease and pig will stand up.
· Pig can only use her ability if she has 100% of the charges.
· While not using Crouch, the ability regenerates 3 charges per second.
· Total of 20 seconds of use and 8.3 seconds of cooldown.
· During standing up animation, Pig doesn’t lose nor gain charges.
3) While in crouch, Pig gains the usual undetectable status effect and other abilities
· Ambush is performed by holding M1 for 1.3 seconds.
· Ambush can be charged during crouching animation.

"Listen, there are rules." — Jigsaw
I would love for her crouch to be more fluid like ghost face's and/or maybe allow for gen grabs while crouched.
Otherwise addon changes would be great as most of her current ones make you want to chase/tunnel people with traps on them which is counter intuitive as you put the trap on them to prevent them from doing objectives and give you time to pressure their team.
Protection from having the trap taken off by the first jigsaw box attempt would be amazing too, even if it's made into an addon.
