Do you think Oni is in a good state right now ? I've played 20-30 Matches of him recently + Rant
Wondering. What are you thoughts on this subject?
- Is Oni in a good state?
- Does he need some changes
- Does he need better turning? Blight got better turning. Couldn't Oni need some as well?
----------------------------
I've leveled Oni from 19 to 50+ yesterday & today.
I've noticed a few things:
- You weapon can get stuck in the BONK animation if you've been stunned at the end of your power making it extremely difficult to see & use dash around the map. You can get out of this bug only if u bonk again while in your power. So you need to earn your power again, essentially, to get rid of this bug.
- There's this perk called "Dead Hard" that counters me and my entire ######### power. It's ######### brilliant, I tell you. Bloody brilliant
- Immersed survivors are the bane of my existence and I'll make their time as miserable as possible since they made mine. Even though it's a good tactic to hide during my power but Jesus Christ, don't hide 24/7 against an Oni.
- Sprint Burst is one of my worst nightmares.
- I lose a 2-3 gens very fast due to my lack of pressure at the start & can continue to lose the entire game if survivors play safe. I just got Corrupt Intervention after 1mil+ bloodpoints. Thankfully I got Rank 3 BBQ really quick
- Steering is really difficult
- Downing someone is really satisfying
- Holding M2 to dash around and pressing M1 in your dash to bonk someone will sometimes CANCEL the dash entering you in a fatigue state before you can dash & move again. This, THIS, is extremely infuriating. I lost count how many times this has happened.
- People underestimate how far the bonk goes when u hold it down. Thank god for that.
- The Bonk has a really... really big hitbox and I've lost count how many times I've hit everything else but the survivor that went to my left or to my right.
- I've won a big majority of my matches 3k-4k+ but I had to sweat for it. I swear to god, some survivors are absolutely brainless and their stupidity outplays me in the worst way possible.
- Spinning around to avoid a bonk is quite easy. I've done as survivor and now I've fully experienced it as Killer. I hate it.
- So you're in this situation. You're behind someone, you have your bonk fully charged, about to drop and hit, but the survivor vaults the pallets. He's 0.1 seconds into the vaulting animation. What happens next? I'll tell you. This is a Billy / Oni exclusive. You break the fukin pallet with your power instead of downing the survivor. I threw my mouse when this happened, broke it, and still won the game. I hate this game.
- Earning your power and getting 0 value out of it is probably one of the most demoralizing and infuriating things ever. Especially if they hide during your power while you zoom around gens, only for them to jump back on when ur power is gone.
- Oni has entered my list of "most satisfying & infuriating killers to play" next to Billy & Nurse
- If I down someone and look for more with my infectious fright while in my power, chasing the lucky / good survivor can cost you 1-2 gens, if not the entire game.
- Unbreakable "plays" destroy my heart.
I play at rank 1. I must've de-piped 3 or 4 times so far. Other times I either get Brutal or Ruthless Killer and sometimes Merciless Killer.
Yes, I've went against numerous SWF and I absolutely despise it. Stacking dead hard and second chance perks like me stacking pancakes in my plate at a family dinner. Really annoying and they can compensate only so much for their lack of skill before I murder them all.
Currently I run:
- BBQ
- Corrupt
- Ruin
- Infectious Fright
I want to get rid of either Ruin or Corrupt for Shadowborn or replace Corrupt with Pop.
Also what is this totem spawn BHVR? Put some Christmas lights around it will ya? Make it more obvious. Not even one minute has passed and I already lost it cause I had to chase 2 survivors and give up on it. This was my ruin. My devour was again, in another fantastic spot....

While not getting any value out of your power is demoralizing it is also the survivors doing the correct thing to counterplay you. So it would lead to you using your power when you see a healthy survivor.

Oni, along with Blight, are the only two killers that if played correctly could be considered "S tier" along with Spirit and Nurse

I think he's in an ok spot, I'm just not a fan of his gameplay loop. He's a very tough character to balance.
1 -
He has massive snowball potential. This is hard to deal with. His power can be completely useless or get him a gg ez.
2 -
His power really only needs just two little tweaks along with an addon pass. A lot of his addons are pretty worthless and I made up a whole list of changes to them in a post before to at least make them somewhat useful.
My addon pass for Oni: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/232398/refining-the-oni-and-his-addons#latest

Topknot is the only thing that needs some tweaking, also his iridiscent addons are probably jsut probably the worst iri addons ever made. other than that most oni players use topknot wich makes oni go up in strengh a lot and make an insta down killer without almost any counterplay since he can play most tiles in teh game with that addon very easily. Is like the old insta saw billy but worse because is stronger, is stupid, dumb and pretty much without counter, other than that he is fine, strong killer of course but as long as you have pallets and windows and play safe you can counter his power. dont outposition yourself and especially DONT BE GREEDY put those pallets down.
still an organized team who wont greed pallets could delay his power for quite long and make him lose the game (and have a misserable experience as a complete m1 killer, quite easily) but that rarely happens especially in public matches cause everyone greed pallets so much that is painfull.
