My proposed Oni changes, I know... too early, come back here when you need me

So the Oni is annoying because he is forced to slug which sucks for both sides because he doesnt want to and its just annoying to be stuck on the ground as survivor therefore:

No loss of ability after picking up a survivor.

Result: The Oni can get to other side of map after hook which is literally what billy can do for the entire match THEREFORE it is fair.


The Oni is significantly slowed when he collects blood mid chase and it would be quality of life if that was removed considering freddy can place traps without being slowed (and he is perfect rn) and clown can throw without being slowed hardly.

Result: The Oni can catch up to looping survivors and snatch blood balls which is great because survivors get better and better at looping everyday.


Emergency Changes:

If we want a top tier killer it might be best if we:

Increase the amount of blood to gain power BUT

Have slightly more control over the Demon Dash.


I know its too early but I feel the top changes are very quality of life changes.
