The Sadako Changes Did Nothing Because She. Needs. Tape. Pressure.

You cannot freely give survivors complete control over a killers power with 0 consequences. How many times do you need to learn this with Sadako when you learned this from 2.0 PTB to 2.0 Live and knew it in 1.0?

There is LITERALLY 0 punishment for grabbing a tape and 0 way Sadako can pressure it off a survivor. Combined with being able to turn off any TV while holding one which in turn prevents condemn being pushed in a massive area when grabbing one AND prevents Sadako's map pressure from even existing all while being able to completely delete what little condemn you do push with the fastest interaction in the game, there is no way you will ever push meaningful condemn vs passable survivors. You don't even need to worry about condemn locking on survivor if you're passable because you can just put the tape away mid chase with no effort or thought due to the interaction being so quick.

The only reason I and people are able to get any value with her right now is because you've reworked her 45 times in the past 6 months and nobody knows what's going on anymore. Not even Sadako players understand half the changes at this point.

At BARE MINIMUM passive condemn needs to be gained holding a tape. Preferably bring back destroying tapes with a melee but don't have it push condemn like 2.0. If you want to go a step further, turn on the TV's that the tape turned off once destroyed. This one change will actually allow us to gauge just how good or bad she is without doing silly mini changes nobody is asking for. As fun as it is flying out TV's at mach 1 with bloody fingernails, I'd rather be able to actually have some control over condemn, my viability and not be entirely at the whim of survivors being so confused they don't know what to do anymore.

    I said this from very start of the ptb for 3.0 sadako. there is no chance for condemn to be viable option in current form. The ebony mori offering is more viable mori option then current ability. The only idea that i can ever see making this version relevant is all survivor except hooked survivor be condemn locked.

    The only control given to killer is when survivor is on death hook. Mori survivors on death hook is meaningless in term of gameplay value.

    Condemned shouldn't be easy to apply because it's an insta kill. Something so absurdly powerful needs to have harsh restrictions.
