Something about stealth killers

There's a huge inconsistency between them and sadako.


I know this because originally pigs TR was 24 and nowadays 32 because she's a 4.6 killer.

Ghostface also follows this trend except his stealth is on demand as long as its off cooldown.

Wraith is someone sadako literally rips off in terms of when she leaves her power,she gets the same speed boost as he does.

Sadako? 4.6 killer with a 24 terror radius. Now I understand that she's quite an awful killer with absolutely no point to in playing but there's an argument to be made about consistency and she breaks that trend or "design Philosophy"

So this one's more of me asking why she specifically gets to have a smaller terror radius despite being 4.6ms while Ghostfave and pig are 32 terror radius at 4.6?

Is that just gonna be ignored or is she going to be the exception because she's God awful or are we actually gonna make all stealth killer consistent with sadako?


(Note: I know compared to sadako,ghostface and pig are better but this is a matter of consistency. You can't buff a killer like sadako in this regard and leave killers Like GF,Pig,and wraith behind)

    You make interesting points, and I do think that Sadako remains an interesting outlier from the stealth Killers. Sadako is the only heavily-Stealth Killer that has a lullaby. Her stealth isn't outright stealth because of this. Because of this lack, she makes up with a shorter terror radius and lullaby as well as her intermittent visibility like Spirit and her invisibility at a range like Freddy.

    It would be boring if we had every Stealth Killer being too similar to one another. Right?

    Why does slinger break the 110 mold with a 32m tr, why does myers with a 16m, why does wesker with 40m. The 110 having a 24m terror radius and 115s ahving 32 is more of a suggestion than a hard rule they stick too.

    Why is Sadako the only stealth killer with a lullaby is my question?

    Sadako and Wraith are only similar superficially. She does NOT get the speed boost when manifesting, but instead only slows down a little bit while Wraith feels like molasses before his boost. After Myers and now Wesker, I don't really see any need for 'consistency.' Pig probably could be buffed a bit but Wraith and GF have very good add-ons. Regardless of how you feel about them, Sadako is worse, as you know. Buffing her does not mean Pig, GF, Wraith, and Myers should all adopt her smaller TR, though. They are unique Killers and each needs to be balanced accordingly.
