Plague becomes more and more unplayable because of bugs
I don't know if things like this will get better with the recode in 2027 but Plague becomes more unplayable with each passing year. The hitbox of her vomit is so extremely weird that I saw clips of a completely charged vomit stream doesn't even infect the Survivor (Example: https://x.com/magi_N7/status/2089607540942455295)
I know she is not the most popular Killer but it's not a excuse for her to become unplayable when you payed money because they can't handle to fix all the bugs that appear with each update.

Just checked and saw this is still currently under investigation. https://app.betahub.io/projects/pr-5642738318/issues/792?search_element_id=792&search_input=plague+ BetaHub is the best way to get bugs to the team directly. They are all managed through there.
Now it's worse then ever after the last update but Plague is having these problems since years. Also the report is from January and it's still not fixed☠️
Plague projectile is pretty unique and it's hard to design/code i guess.
The post I linked shows an official response explaining that Plague's power is not a stream, but rather in units. They have also requested further video evidence of examples. Some things can stay under investigation if the issue cannot be reproduced or enough evidence isn't provided.
It has been like this for a couple years at least, I believe I started noticing it around the time that server side validation came out. You will get a hit, the survivor will perform the animation and make the noises from getting hit, but nothing happens. It ends up making you take up to 3-4 fully charged streams to fully infect someone instead of just 1, and it is especially noticeable when someone is unhooking standing still and the entire stream hits them yet they don't end up infected. I really don't expect anything to change given how long it has been like this.
It really is a shame how many killers are just ruined by bugs like this, because it happens every single game I play plague so I just ended up not playing her anymore.
Said thread contains multiple clips, comments and duplicate threads how much more do the devs need to have it investigated and fixed? As said before this has been going on for years and instead of providing changes (which were first supposed to happen 2 years ago or so, but eventually scrapped) she is still in this state.
By design only certain parts of Plague's Purge can actually hit a survivor, which quite frankly, I think is incredibly stupid.
