Yeah.. I Was Wrong About The Pig



I never thought I would see the day when Dead By Daylight finally gave The Pig a buff.
In this video, I show you how much better The Pig feels to play in chase during PTB 7.6.0 for the upcoming chapter “All Things Wicked” featuring new killer The Unknown.

  2. This seems like a buff to pig but in reality its the biggest shadownerf she's ever gotten. It's turned pig into a basic bitch M1 killer with stealth. Pubic survey: What is pig's biggest strength? If you said anything other than "Her ability to slow the game down with her reverse bear traps and apply pressure to survivors by patrolling the trap removal boxes." you are WRONG. By extending that timer to 3 mins, survivors can now do an ENTIRE GEN SOLO with PLENTY OF TIME to spare to find the trap removal box and on some maps where the boxes are really close to each other pig's reverse bear trap is little more than a "minor inconvenience" that can be remedied in under 40 seconds. By removing pig's ability to see her trap removal boxes, this destroys any ability pig players have to keep pressure on survivors to extend the amount of time they spend trying to find a box to remove their bear trap instead of doing gens.(aka: SLOW DOWN) If these changes go live, Pig is going to get the biggest nerf she's ever gotten.

  3. My biggest issue with this is she probably needs more dash related add-ons because Atm anything that related really isn't worth compared to maxing her dash potential and you really don't want a killer who only feels viable with a specific add on combo, just feels really boring

  4. The only times I actually got kills with my beartraps is when people literally FORGOT they had them on because it takes so long to activate, that they straight up ran out of the exit gate and died

  5. While I agree that these changes for pig are pretty based, it still kinda sucks in the sense that she feels a little less unique now since her beartraps will hardly ever come up (as if they even did beforehand lol). But we’ll take what we can get I s’pose

  6. is there a machanice for the reverse bear traps so if an additional gen pops time is removed? bc i think 30 sec for the 2nd 3rd and 4th gen pops while a bear trap is on someones head would be good, even on hook, or have a % removed of time remaining thats equivalent of 30 secs, that way an active trap with say about 50% time remaining only loses 15 sec instead,

  7. As a pig main, the increasing of the time for traps to spring is a massive let down. Pig needs a lot of work, and instead you nerfing her biggest positive.. 2.5 minutes is already longer enough, might as well remove traps completely if you’re gonna increase to 3 mins lol. If you’re increasing time it takes to spring traps, you should’ve increased time to take them off too. Massive let done.
    Ambush speed increase is nice, but at the same time, the crouch speed is hardly an increase lol..I would not call this an upgrade. Took away her best parts and barely increased the stuff that actually needs work lol.

  8. so tampered timer add on is now useless to use with pig in compensation for making her a little faster as an m1 killer? I mean I guess its an okay change, but they should probably buff tampered timer since she can no longer see the jigsaw boxes and they still have 5 boxes on the map nerfing it even more, all they did was buff how terrible she is around loops which was her problem with her design since they brought her into the game.

  9. 3:35 was the only time in the entire video where you used your power at all. Even then it still has the only problem of missing a dash there meaning you lose the interaction, instead of just keeping them there until you win a 50/50 by using M1s.
    "The fact that I can go midchase and ambush is insane" Why? Why is it? Its a special attack, so you arent getting M1 benefits. There are no add ons for status effects off her abush. Why is that supposed to be a good thing?
    The entire video you are saying "thats insane" when just walking up and M1ing the person while they are in these deadzones would be just as effective. You're a big streamer, people listen to what you have to say. I get saying "I was wrong" is a good clickbait title, but its giving people the entirely wrong idea about this nerf. They weren't going to play pig anyway, but now they are just going to assume this is fair compensation. We pig mains dont want her to be a chase killer, we like making builds around traps. Even if this was good compensation, this is not what we want from our pig. Love you Spooky, love your always positive attitude, but this is not it, and pretending these are somehow buffs when you used the power only once the entire video is disingenuous and disappointing

  10. Yyyeah. Still not seeing it. Still basically a killer with no power. As Captain Price would say, "That was an improvement, but it's not hard to improve on garbage"

    Edit: And I'm still not even sure this is a buff. Her power that was just barely better better than hold W and M1ing in certain situations got slightly closer to usable, sure, but her real strength always came from her built in game slowdown that just got absolutely AXED… How does this make her a more interesting, more engaging killer? I'm certainly not gonna feel scared while interacting with a jigsaw box.

    No one wins with these changes. You've removed interesting counterplay from both sides with this one, BHVR.

  11. This is not a buff to her ambush, it's so minor. She still has the inherent issues that you just predrop pallets and hold W and you can easily outrun her if you know the maps.. Then the changes to her traps is a complete nerf to them, making them pretty much worthless for any pressure whatsoever. I and some other Pig mains who call ourselves the Society of Swine suggested some much better nerfs (yes, nerfs to Pig) that would make the notorious screaming piggy build not work, a build that 110% will still be insanely broken even with these proposed changes.

  12. Kinda weird that u now cant see ur own Killer mechanic (not able to see jigsaw boxes). And the timer is now longer. Was this such a huge Problem on pig or is it another case of survivors cant play mechanics well and we have to help/fix them?
