Why was Plague nerfed?
As you can see here, you can no longer infect the exit gate switches. Why was this done? It's not like Plague is a particularly strong killer, and this strategy needs good timing and one survivor left to work, and can be countered by simply being infected beforehand to not tell Plague your location. It's just like Trapper putting a trap down at the exit gates - but more counterable.

You know that this could be a bug? If it not written in the patch notes it probably is
Indeed, you should report in the bug section of the forums.
Done. Hope it is a bug and not just another shadow nerf.
Because Plague is overused and infecting the Exit Game switches is clearly an OP tactic.
/s
They made a perk that interacts with exit gate switches. It's only logical that they break everything associated with it.
My theory is they shadow nerf but...if it’s noticed and enough people complain or their “data” says it didn’t have the result they were fishing for...then they can call it a bug and “fix” it. Otherwise...the “bug” falls into BHVR list of “when we get to it” fixes and they continue to ignore it until the community stops caring and the shadownerf stays permanently~
This is more than likely it, lmao, especially considering I remember reading a tip where Plague would crash the game when she vomited on a stop sign in Badham during playtesting before she was ever even released on a PTB. Her power seems like it was challenging to get to work properly!
I assume the pallet stun bug that has resurfaced since the All-Kill chapter patch is also related to the fact that they added a perk connected to getting a pallet stun, yeah?
"We checked the uhh... statistics. And it appears the Plague is doing a little too well, so we decided to remove her ability to infect exit gates to give survivors a chance to escape. This ensures the Plague is able to rely on the... actual game instead of waiting for the endgame to infect survivors, which essentially gave her base-kit NOED. If you don't like this change, just run NOED on her."
You have a good point there
Your impression of Almo is terrifyingly accurate.
Somehow with the twins being nerfed into the ground (with even a with an undocumented nerf aka shadow nerf to boot of charlette losing collision after 30 seconds of taking control of victor) I am not overly surprised they would nerf plague who has one of the lowest play/kill rates.
I really do hope its a bug but the demo/twins changes tell me its intentional.
Thanks, but I wish you were joking.
Me too.
