  1. The aura reading from the Wicked perk does actually apply even if you aren't hooked in the basement, the dev comment alludes to this. Looking forward to this patch.

  2. I don't like the clown change. Reducing the carrying capacity further would've made more sense, dropping the carrying capacity from 3 to 5, or even limit the carrying capacity to 3 at most, but only allowing clown to have one bottle essentially makes his power a worse Iri Head. My problem with this being that Pinky Finger only exposes survivors, whereas Iri Head insta-downs on contact, which only gets worse since bottles are much more precise than hatchets, so unless you wait at the opportune moment, you essentially become clown without a real power.

  3. It’s kind of funny, I’ve mentioned on and off for a long time that it would be interesting to have a Medusa killer who puts debuffs or status effects on survivors while they can directly see her. So if you were going against Medusa, it would flip the usual strategies on their head, you would want to not be looking behind you at them during a chase or watching them intently from around corners, etc, but instead would try to minimize how often that killer is on your screen and look away when you can.

    But the Unknown’s Weakness ability is the opposite of that. The Unknown is a killer that you want to maximize looking at the killer at all times to mitigate the negative effects of the Weakness. So they’re the antithesis of a Medusa in a way.

    I still would love to see a Medusa killer though. 🙂

  4. im really surprised that they decided to buff her by decreasing the totally time again instead of just increasing the time it takes to search a box and increase her general slowdown.

    i guess this could help face the darkness builds, but thats honestly a problem in it's own that isnt really pig's fault.

  5. "buffed pig" i still don't see this patch for her as a complete W its more is a lowercase uu tied together I would still argue she is still a Joke. Keeping that timer in that PTB would actually make her even MORE of a joke. Like her Power is already useless "I go by using the word useless because its one of the easiest powers to counter. She can't see them anymore and the all the traps are still RNG with the 4th search giving you a get out of jail free card. Pig was always weak even in her early days but arguably some of her older aspects she was objectively better. NOW compared to what she had in the past. She's still bad with a power that is no longer threating to go up against. sure she can play around 1 loop better but the counter play for that is still the same. The core aspect of her series is still weak.

    Like how is her power butchered this hard? I can't agree when others say its ever a good change to take something away from her when she is still weak even with the shit she had prior. Sure the ambush is more consistent now and that is awesome but they need to give her some of that power back she lost in the past when it came to her traps and how the function a later points in the game . Sure the slow down is there but its still very weak. In many matches Ive played and have seen Survivors often don't care and don't have any need to worry about the traps much i sallowing them to pop gens. or even have time to get fully healed from another person. The list goes on I would argue.

    The fact you also think the timer being longer was a good thing is horrible. like you unironically want her to BE NERFED even worse. Head Pops with Pig is good and very rare. if you hound 1 player for that 1 head pop you lose pressure when it comes to the other 3 players on the map. Plus why nerf her power (What she is known for) Because of 1 play style that is already weak and has been nerfed repeatedly since her release? You can get head pops in other ways that don't involve making the other side too bad. But its still RNG Based and needs set up to be effective. the way you talk about her ambush to me that might as well be her power and not the traps lol.

  6. I heavily believe that with the nerf to mangled making it through to live, and the addition of a suprisingly solid self healing perk, we might very well see self healing return to the meta!

  7. The amount of people I seen CRYING AND WHINING on facebook over them removing pigs aura to see boxes and adding 30 seconds to the timer was just WILD. As a pig main myself, WHY TF DO U NEED TO SEE THE BOXES. If you are going for somebody doing boxes sith a trap on, then you are trying to waste somebodys times WHOS TIME IS ALREADY BEING WASTED. You not only accomplish nothing but you then let everyone else work on gens. This is not a smart way to play pig. But there were fucking hordes of people whining about it and the timer, im guessing thats why they reverted it.

  8. I just don't know why you would ever bother with Pinkie Finger when you could just play speed Clown, both extremely fun and surprisingly strong. As a speed bottle clown main, these changes are AMAZING for me. I love playing pure speed clown and these changes just made it so much better.

  9. People are gonna intentionally go down in basement to to self unhook with Wicked and that's kinda funny. You might wanna avoid hooking in the basement for a while after the chapter drops, folks.

    If you do, i hope you are good at bodyblocking at the stairs to outlast their BT.

  10. I get that some Pig Players like to be toxic with the traps, but tbh they aren't real pig mains if that's how they play. If the traps became 3 mins tho, you would literlly have time to do a Gen, heal and still have enough time to get a trap off. The point is to keep her traps deadly enough to make survivors actually feel the need to take it off asap. Her timer shouldn't be touched. It's in the perfect place as of rn. If only they would make it so they weren't allowed to be taken off until a Gen was completed
