Oni small nerf Idea
So, I absolutely LOVE the oni. as soon as he comes out I'm buying and maining him. hell, my gamer tag has samurai in it. it's a match made in heaven! However, I'm not afraid to admit that the 50 percent of your blood fury per injure is kinda bull. After 2 hits your in a wonderful position to [BAD WORD] over the remaining healthy survivors. I believe the devs should change it to one fourth per injure, making the power a bit more challenging, while also giving the survivors some grace. I love the oni, but I'd hate for him to get heavily salted because of 2 survs on a gen turning the rest of the team into jell-o before the 2 minute mark.
Edit: This is not a salt post. Just an idea. I've read your comments and realize he is in a good position. I just don't want people to complain and have the devs hit my new favorite killer with the nerf hammer and ruin him worse than hex totems

Oni seems completely fine in that regard, if you nerfed the power gain rate it could take possibly way too long for way too little reward/time to use such power.
Two hits on healthy survivors looks like a good trade for having your power on.

I disagree, he currently has to slow down to pick up blood orbs he doesn't get any power to get his first injure which he needs to start obtaining his power. Which makes him fine in my opinion. Right now it may not be that obvious because well PTB isn't filled with the most optimal survivors and killers but the early game will be a great weakness to him if you don't feed him. Which is why he wouldn't need a nerf like this imo.

Wow, he has been out for two days now and he is already over performing. I think if enough survivors cry and DC, they will eventually nerf him. So more nerf threads please

Fair point, but you already know some salty 12 year olds are gonna start complaining he's "too OP" and "ruining dbd" which may result in them massacring my boy. I'm not saying I'm the most intelligent person i dbd, just saying I can foresee the salty sweat sweats

hey man, I'm not complaining. I love oni in his current state. I just don't want some salty boi's making the devs nerf him to the shadow realm

He doesn't need changes towards the percent earned each hit
He doesn't need changes at all really

He is like billy but somehow more balanced and more fun to play as

This joke has been burned out by this point.

That's just how it always is with a new killer/survivor. People will call for nerfs the day the PTB comes out. Happened with Demogorgon, and is happening to Oni now. All we can do is hope the devs don't change him. He seems really fun.

Oh, my bad then. But anyway if they start complaining, Oni will get hit by the nerf hammer, like nurse and spirit

His early game is already really weak, you don't need to nerf it more.

The nerf hammer has limitations my friend, we need to save all it's power up so we can use it on Legion this chapter :P

And spirit, too. One hit and it nerfs both of them xD

Nurse was the only one that really got nerfed, imo Nurse got nerfed too hard
Spirit was fine in the first place and only needed QoL changes to PB and phasing, I would have it to where she still had collision but in the phase she couldn't hear grunts of pain
Let the real mindgames begin

I kind of thought he needed a small buff by making the blood absorption power to automatically collect and I’m not even a killer main. it seems like it takes a lot of time where it’s too easy to lose momentum, from what I’ve observed against good survivors.

The only nerf they sre going to do/should do is make his demon attacks not count as basic hits like legion. thats imo the only nerf he needs.

Oni starts the match in a really rough spot, having absolutely no power at all. If he can injure 2 separate survivors, while having no special base stats, being easily seen and having a 32 meter TR... I think at that point hes earned being able to have an ability for abit. I do agree that the ability seems really strong, so it wouldnt surprise me if they tweek the ability itself some.

He gets 40% of his power, not 50%

He's just a worse Billy imo. Not even top 5. Doesn't need nerfs.

As you pointed out though, whenever he doesn't have his ability, he is really weak. So I really do hope they don't really nerf his actual ability in any way.

Its abit of a trade off. Billy has his saw at all times, but Oni has WAY better control and practically no cool down if you need to end his charge, turn and start it again.

This. the grunts of pain are the issue.

*better

So a killer who needs to injure 2 survivors to get a chance at a slightly better billy chainsaw needs nerfs? Meh. Looks fine to me.
