• I really love playing The Pig, and I agree that she is in a pretty good spot. She certainly is not top tier, and most people agree that she could use a little bit of love. With her stealth lowering her move speed so significantly, prowling the map in stealth mode before you find a survivor is a sure fire way to give up multiple generators. So until she slaps an RBT on someone, she is effectively a killer with nothing but a niche stealth ability. She definitely does not need a nerf, but I also don't think she needs a major buff or anything either.

  If I had my way, I would make two changes:

  1)Kill survivors that try to use the hatch with an RBT on.
  I don't see why this isn't already a thing. Hatch campers are enough of a problem in this game as it is, the fact that they can get away with it while being trapped is just insulting. It wouldn't be OP, in fact most people would probably consider it a fix rather than a buff.

  1.5) I would also really like to see the timer start when the hatch opens, but I could see why they might not want to do that.

  2)Make Rule Set No. 2 part of her base kit.
  This would certainly be a buff, but a very small one. This would do two things: It would make the immediate search for a jigsaw box much more inconvenient. That being the case, I would be fine if the jigsaw boxes were made to be a little more visible. Maybe give them a red glowing light or something. The second thing it would do would be encourage survivors to not bother with searching for a box until the trap had been triggered. The survivor has always had the choice between progressing through gens and removing the RBT immediately. This change would simply make it a much less obvious decision, which I think very much fits the Saw theme.

  In the end, The Pig is really fun to play and in a pretty okay spot right now. While I understand that, as a dev, this might make one want to avoid making any changes, I really would like to advocate for these minor tweaks. (1) is something that should have always been a thing and is only relevant in a few cases, and (2) is a pretty simple way to make Amanda's RBTs much less of a minor inconvenience and much more of a stressful obstacle to overcome, albeit an easy one.

  Sorry for the wall of text. I love Amanda and I feel very strongly about these changes.
