How to fix Onryou in one easy step

Hello everyone,

so, right now there is a lot of buzz and talk about Sadako. Many comment that the changes went in a really good direction and give her a much bigger presence on the trial ... but she also suffers a lot from some of the changes, namely the way the cursed tapes are no longer cursed, but actually lucky charms and talismans. You can't give her too much of a leg up or she will end up too oppressive, but right now the counterplay to her power is way to simple and strong.

So, here is a solution, are you ready? While holding a tape, you will indeed be protected from the curse, but condemned stacks won't go away, they will accumulate on the tape. In the survivors HUD there will be a cut or mark or smudge on their comdemnation ring and all further condemnation will be funneled into the tape. If they get rid of the tape before they reach 7 stacks, all the condemnation on the tape will vainish into the void, but if they get hit, all the condemnation flows into them and they get their two extra stacks.

So now holding tapes will indeed stave off the curse, but it comes with a big risk and is not scott free. Maybe we could develop this further and allow a survivor in need to drop the tape, thus getting rid of the cursed energy in it, but by doing this every survivor will get 1/2 of the stored curse within. BUT I think that this would open up a lot of trolling and thus were no good idea. But I am just brainstorming, and you never know if some devs reads this and gets inspired by some aspect.

So, just shoot and happy gaming :)
