Sadako Deserves a Buff with the Slug-Condemn Build Getting a Nerf

As Sadako has a very high kill rate, she is getting left alone in her well. The kill rate is likely all due to the Slug-Condemn build, which is not fun at all to play against, and I don't like playing as unfun killers myself. The build should get fixed while she should get buffed basekit.

The build needs a nerf, and so, as someone said (probably Otzdarva, but I'm not 100% sure), the Iridescent Videotape add-on's ability could get split in half, weakening it down while giving part of it to Sadako's basekit. The build could use other nerfs, but the add-on is the main problem.

Alongside the needed increased speed for TVs to turn back on, an idea I have for a buff to Sadako is that she could maybe be entirely invisible and/or without her lullaby and maybe the manifesting sounds while within range of a TV that's on. It'd urge people to pick up the tapes more often otherwise they'd get jump scared.

What are some of your ideas of buffs and nerfs for Sadako and the unnecessary build?

    Her high kill rate is because less skilled players suck at playing against stealth killers and she also has a teleport for map mobility which means average players don't keep up with her pressure. It's not the slug condemn build carrying her win rate. The average sadako player is not using that build. This means BHVR will likely never buff her signficantly because any buffs are pretty much targeted at a minority of the player base and would make the killer feel oppressive to the silent casual majority.

    I do agree regardless that this should happen. But BHVR wont do it.

    Sadako does still have a fair kill rate in the top 1%, I think. And the build probably still increases the KR a bit, as, with skill and the right perks, Sadako REALLY pops up on the tier list when using it. Besides, the build should be fixed; it's boring to face.

    About Sadako needing a buff, she definitely deserves one for who she is. I mean, outside of the game, she's one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, killer in our ranks. Like, her dad might literally be a god. Being one of our weakest is quite offensive to her.
