Can we please finally focus on The Plague next?
It's nice to see some more changes coming to the other killers but after all this time one killer kept evading the dev team's attention, no matter how many times people tried bringing her up for Q&A requests. Over two years of negligence for a killer who - according to the last released set of stats - has the 2nd worst killrate in the game.
How come such a disappointing killer has remained under the radar for so long? I heard she's the one who will be featured on the next tome, so why not finally buff her into a decent state so that people will actually bother finishing her missions?

You might be right, their art-department has long forgotten her as well. It's been over 14 months since her last original cosmetics came out, meanwhile all she gets are lazy recolors of pre-existing outfits locked away behind premium passes.
Plague can get power if survivors cleans. And when they do they, Plague is really strong. If they wont, Plague turning m1 killer.
So possibly devs thought, survivor will clean for free heal. But survivors usually smarter than this. So i dont know how they buff Plague. Because she is already strong but she cant use her power if survivors smart.
Her power is quite overrated if you ask me. Competent survivors will make sure to cleanse in remote corners without any nearby objectives so that the poor gal has to waste a ton of time to get her power while gens get done right and left. And even then, survivors either hide or hug walls at long loops to deny her power entirely. She cannot hit anyone as long as she has to slow down to channel her own power while going after them. Her power only works on wide open maps.
im surprised they haven’t fixed the vomit hitbox yet, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched her vomit literally hit them and it doesn't register. It’s even more inconsistent than Huntress’s hatchets.
Pig.
She must be next for at least buffs.
Rework would be great too.
Plague is fine. Even if survivors don't cleanse, she's more than just a M1 killer as she has info from survivors getting infected and vomiting, and survivors only have one health state. She may as well be permanent Tier III Myers at that point. Just because she's not Freddy or Spirit doesn't mean she's weak.
Her baseline is Tier III Myers, and her optimum is 115% Huntress.
The one improvement I would give her is making her vomit more accurate. It currently acts as a series of discrete projectiles thrown along her stream, and it's annoying when a survivor gets off scott free even though they passed right through the stream, just because they somehow managed to luck out and dodge between two 'projectiles' in the vomit.
Michaels next for good reason to.
One Day Michael, one day :(
right after a Meg cosmetic
It's not true that the Devs forgot about her for two years, she was buffed in the Patch 3.6.0 about a year ago.
That buff apparently didn't help her or else she wouldn't be the least picked killer with the 2nd lowest killrate in the game. Two years of being forgotten and ridiculed.
If you go by killrate alone Nurse would be the weakest Killer.
I'm not saying that she shouldn't be buffed, just that other killers have been waiting longer.
I just don't get why a killer like Demogorgon, who definitely is in need of help but still performs far better than Plague, is higher on their list of priorities than a killer who's been constantly struggling with issues caused by dedicated servers and some inherent design issues which make her predictable and weak for many survivors.
