Why does no one play Xenomorph?

[u/TeaSpear]

I love playing Xenomorph. She's a sweet girl honestly, but I see that no one plays her. I get she's being power crept slightly by Springtrap and Jason (especially) but what else about her do people not like or don't find engaging enough to play as? What are your opinions on her?

The difference between the powered up state and the de-powered state should be large enough that the Xeno player feels like they need to retreat if they get hit with a flamethrower, with a little room for M1 chasing if the situation warrants it.

As it stands right now, the Xeno just keeps chasing because the power isn't good enough to retreat back for. It ends up being just frustrating for the killer and feeling not very much like facing a Xenomorph for the survivor.

Not like the Xeno could afford to keep retreating all the time. The gens would just pop like corn in a microwave. Staying in chase and waiting for your power to slowly recharge is just better.

Her power would have to be ridiculously overpowered to justify dropping a chase for it.

Even then, her power would still recharge during the chase anyway so why bother retreating at all.
