Plague is a intresting design but not executed well.
I've played quite a bit of plague over the past year, and I have to say. Her main issue is that while she leaves people permanently injured ,discourages healing and sometimes can feel very oppressive. Her main problem is the fact that her selling point isn't utilized right.
Why can't you see how much you've injured someone? Its very annoying sometimes when you've thrown up alot on someone they still aren't injured. Why can't plague see that meter? It would make chases alot easier on her understand if they are worth chasing. Survivors don't need that info because you will know if you're injured. Its like if ghostface couldn't see how much he's stalked someone and survivors could.
The other issue I have with her is the fact that the survivors are in control if she uses her power or not. Yes you could say that, "well they are injured permanently just down them and outplay them". The main problem with that argument is that if they get good map RNG, you have almost no chance in killing anyone. Especially if you take in account of how long it can take to injure one person. Gens fly by in high ranks and plague isn't exactly amazing at map presence. My idea was that if all of the Survivors get fully infected. She get rewarded with a fountain so that way she always has something in her back pocket if she really needs it. This would actually make her more fun to play because of how much you get to use your power. She's a really fun concept but its just frustrating that if you can't catchup to the survivors you're basically playing any M1 killer.
Plague overall can be a huge snowball killer but in the current state shes in, she usually gets screwed over by either map rng or survivors having control of her power.
I know some of this sounds a little on the extreme side but, when I play or go against her. It feels like a joke sometimes. She feels like clown sometimes, where you kinda just roll your eyes and just play a really boring match.
I dont know if this would bump her up in any way but it definitely would feel a lot better to play her. What do you guys think? Let me know!!
