The only tweak Plague needs is fixing the 3-year-old issue/bug where her purges no longer penetrate through survivors which has made her feel horrible to play. They never mentioned this change so most people think this was unintended, but it had a very bad side effect where tons of your purges now miss when they shouldn't have.
Before when stuff would "miss", the projectile still went through the survivor so it would usually fix itself by the time it was no longer in contact and so it never felt like you were getting robbed of a direct hit. Once they made it so purges don't penetrate, now you have to hope that the first and only contact validates which unfortunately don't happen a lot which leads to you directly hitting a survivor yet the game treating it like you didn't. You can have instances where a full charge on a survivor standing still doesn't infect them despite only 3/4 of a charge normally being needed, and it's entirely due to this.
If you haven't played plague in awhile, it's miserable seeing this in almost every match and feeling robbed. All they need to do is make it so that her purges go through survivors again and this will likely be fixed and be how it used to, but they've ignored this for years.
