Seeking Advice: Making Oni Less Painful on Console?

Basically the title. I love the idea of Oni as a killer, but he's unwieldy, awkward and so easily outmanoeuvred when you're not playing with M+K. All of the things that make him challenging as a killer make him horrible for me on console. The 'aim assist' you get when Demon Striking near a survivor seems to make me miss more often than hit, and the more limited adjustability even a high-sensitivity controller layout gives you makes it feel impossible to compensate for it properly, especially when Demon Dashing. None of his add-ons make it easier to manoeuvre him in Demon Dash (in notable contrast to comparable powers like Blight and Billy). Moreover, all the Oni strategy/tech guides are made for PC, and there's no frame of reference for using his power on controller. I get he's meant to be a difficult killer to play, but I'm getting the creeping fear that console players are basically locked out of his power. Please prove me wrong: how do I git gud at Oni's Blood Fury? Any ideas, suggestions or recommendations are welcome.
