Isn't Oni going to need a total rework if proposed PTB changes go live?

If the proposed changes for PTB go to the live servers, what will they do with Oni? Wouldn't he need a total rework, due to the across the board healing nerfs?

    Frankly, I don't think so.

    Don't feed him his power 10 seconds into the match and you should be fine

    If survivors taking longer to heal does make Oni problematic, you wouldn't need a total rework to fix it. You can just increase the frequency of blood orb drops or reduce the amount of blood orbs dropped.

    Maybe.

    In power Oni is one of the strongest Killers in the game.

    That's hard to say. Some of his addons could maybe use some slight nerfs (the ones that spawn more blood orbs) but other than that I think he'll be mostly fine.

    Once Oni starts getting hits/downs/hooks he gets his power pretty quickly and consistently. Heck even the act of healing leaves a massive amount of blood orbs for him so it really isn't as good of a counter as some people think it is.

    Oni's main weakness is his early game and getting his power the first time and this will remain unchanged.
