Is the plague too op?

I'll be honest I'm not the best player but every time I have a game with the plague it seems impossible to win. There's the vomit generators, unhooking survivors and just her in general with her vomit lol. It seems pointless to cure yourself with the fountains bc you'll just end up sick 10 seconds later.

  • It's just a ranged killer with a lot of macro decisions added for survivors,, like should i cleanse? Which fountain should i cleanse, can i afford to stay broken? Most times i diento plague it's when randoms cleanse non stop

  • She's mid at absolute best.

  • the plague is as powerful as your teammates make her by feeding her red pools

  • She’s good but she’s balanced.

  • She is pretty powerful but thrives on uncoordinated survivors, like people just playing in solo queue. When she's against a swf she's still not that bad but the survivors can call out a lot of information like when someone should cleanse, where they're cleansing, etc which can delay her secondary ability a lot

  • If I was forcing a change I’d be closer to buffing her than nerfing her.

  • Vommy Mommy is pretty balanced

  • I know I picked this option but I don't think you suck!

    I just think she's one of the few actual 1 v 4 killers in the game who has passive pressure on a whole team at once. A lot of survivors can't be completely comfortable in chase while staying injured but the only alternative is cleansing which is such a heavy risk vs reward scenario favouring the killer it is almost always the worst idea

    That makes a lot of sense! I don't really know much about her ability since I play survivor mostly, I didn't know the fountains added to her ability :0 thanks for that lol.

    Interesting I didn't know that! Thank you lool!

  • As others have stated, you don’t suck. But Plague isn’t OP at all, though definitely stronger against soloq than coordinated swf.

    i think it’s baffling though that people still think cleansing is taboo at all? Like, it depends heavily on the perks, addons, state of the match and so many circumstances. It’s definitely not always best practice to not cleanse…

    From my experience the best time to cleanse is either

    A) Plague is camping and you need a healthy person to save/trade (Most common one)

    B) The last generator just got done and you're not close to a gate (Probably the one most people know about)

    C) As a method of damage controlling for your teammates cleansing - overcleansing to reset all fountains turns multiple uses of red vomit into just one

    D) One surv should be healthy and hidden if there is the Thanatophobia Perk in use. By hidden I mean, he can work on a gen by himself; far from potencial 3-gen.
