Am I the only one seeing a severe lack of Oni's?

Rank 1 survivor, got an Oni 5/5 games day of release now it’s more like 33% of games.

The only reason I know there's a new Oni character is because I bought him (with shards) and played as him a few times.
There were a few survivor matches where I saw a giant guy zooming around the map like a fiery hamster ball, but it's hard to call him a killer when he's more like background noise to gen repair work.

I played him once and got 3k. I was on The Game so couldn't effectively test his control but he was pretty good. He'll probably be one of my "I'm tired of easy Wraith/Nightmare/Clown wins so I'll play with this Killer now" Killers.

I bought him with shards, and only reason I'm not playing him more is just out of BP grinding. I wanna equip him with better perks before REALLY using him, and since I dont have BBQ on him yet, its just easier to get BPs on other killers atm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO3_0OFm-Gw&t=1567 Flick needed nerfs to not be able to do 180º flicks aroud sharp corners like that one. You can still do 90º degrees wich is pretty strong. There was no nerf to his power duration

he is a bad killer, I mean he has NO POWER until he M1's a person and then farms them for blood pretty much, and in his power if you pick up a survivor you lose it and have to re-farm so that means he is made to be a slugging style like killer since that is the most effective way to use him. problem with slugging is that you don't pip that much and you don't get that much BP

Yesterday, red ranks, xbox, bill main, 12/12 games vs Oni... It was actually pretty annoying... Don't get me wrong, it was great the first 4 times in a row... But dude... even getting to play on the same 2 maps...

There was a nerf to his power duration. In exchange for no loss of CD after picking someone up. So you still loose your ability when picking someone up, but now you got less uptime of your ability when you try to snowball.
EDIT: Just saw the video was from tofu. He got no clue of balance imo.

Personally, I think the reason we've been seeing very small bits of oni is because of his skillcap. He doesn't really provide a challenging experience to users that rewards them for great showings of skill. He doesn't have things like cross-map hatchets, perfectly predicted blinks, or chainsaw curves.
He's strong, no doubt. But you only need an hour or two to experience what is very close to his full potential. There's no getting better with trap placements with this killer. You hit, suck up blood, blood rage, run around and insta down people. There's no great amount of skill. There's a reason people play killers like Nurse, Huntress, Hag, and Trapper with such devotion. Their possibilities are engaging, and seeing the fruit of your effort is a good feeling. You don't get that with demo, oni, ghostface, plague.
We haven't gotten a killer with a truly high skillcap killer since arguably huntress (I might be missing one here). This is where we are seeing the game become stale.

Every game I played yesterday as survivor were against Oni. In the red ranks on PC.

Today I saw two Oni's out of about nine survivor matches. Maybe its a console thing.

Red Rank, PC and around a Third of my games are Onis. Will go down, obviously. I am rather surprised that I only got one Spirit after the Patch.

Honestly, it's because he is kind of trash. Especially compared to similar killers. His 'demon strike' basically only works if you are chasing the survivor in a straight line with no obstacles.
He was really disappointing. Wish I could have my 9000 shards back instead.

You think that flick was fine but he's the one that knows nothing about balance... right...

I've seen 4 Onis.
One just M1'd and facecamped after the first person he downed DC'ed. Even the second to last person.
Another got a 4k because my genius teammates rushed an unhook and he just slugged us all. He didn't down anyone with his power though.
The other two got 0ks, but did manage to down people using their power.
I've played him myself and had mixed results. As many 4k as 1ks.

The flick was a whole 180°. And? Should you be able to make him useless with simple 180s/360s? No imo.
Nearby, tofu also thought spirit was broken and the nurse nerfs are totally fine and fun. So yes, he's the one without a clue lol.

He's not useless vs simple 180s/360s. And good killers still dominate with oni, like zubat and others.
Also you clearly never seen tofu or scott videos on spirit cause they never said she was broken or OP.

Not? But he can flick 90 degrees right? 90<180 that's math mate, no opinion. He's okay against very good survivors, but not amazing.
I'm not keep discussing this thematic, but i give you an advise. Look at which streamers are close to each other and which opinions they got. Just look.

There's a reason for that: right now he sucks on console. I have him on xbox and I have to wait until rank reset to play him because in purple ranks with a new killer you learn nothing but frustration. He's slow, clunky in rage form with a slow as hell one shot, and sucks at loops. You miss his hits because the camera points you everywhere BUT your target. Demogorgon is better.

I played against my first Oni last night in green ranks, so yes. I remember GF and Demo, two weeks had near constant face offs.
