Revert Or Buff Ring Drawing

Since clearly Sadako isn't getting any actual changes, you just dumpstered her and called it a day (but you buffed Huntress lmao). Can you atleast change this addon so it's actually useful?


Current Effect: When you hook a survivor with a tape, all other survivors gain a stack of condemn.

Old Effect: When healing a survivor from injured to healthy, gain 1 stack of condemn.


Ring drawing in it's current state is so bad that even if the effects were basekit, I don't think they would ever have an effect that you would actually notice. The fact it was bugged when it was first introduced and had both the old and new effect and it still wasn't the best addon she had should speak just how bad this current effect is.

There is no situation where using this addon over any other addon is a good idea which is saying something because Sadako has alot of very bad/mediocre addons. The change where you didn't gain a stack from picking up a downed teammate was already good enough balance and health wise for the game, it didn't need to be changed in it's entirety.

In order for it to actually hold enough value for it to be worth grabbing it'd need to be atleast 2.5-3 stacks of condemn on survivors for you to see a tangible effect since you aren't hooking much as Sadako anyway, letalone a survivor who has a tape when the interaction times on the tapes are so fast.

I would rather you revert it rather than buff it to a meaningful amount because even if you buff it, it's current effects will be literally punishing every other survivor for one making a mistake which is horrible game design.

    Yeah unfortunately they reworked sadako again and she feels unfinished. It just doesn’t sit right. Despite all the feedback given. It’s disheartening honestly. I spent hours and hours and hours creating feedback, suggestions for behavior.


    I easily have over 2000 hours into her. I had it nailed down. I could tell them exactly what she needed, what works what doesn’t. However they reverted some stuff gave a few small buffs called it a day. The feeling of Sadako just isn’t there anymore. Other killers get changes and their pick rates goes up! That’s great! Sadako gets changes. Her pick rates are still the same.


    It’s exhausting voicing yourself when asked but wonder if anyone in the studio was ever really listening.

    I played one game with current Sadako, haven't used her since. It's a shame, because I absolutely adore her otherwise. Like Singularity, it really feels like her built-in counters are far too effective. I don't want a Plague situation where it's damned if you do, damned if you don't, but there's a good middle ground.

    I mainly just wish that tapes and TVs weren't as harmless to deal with as they are, that's what bothers me the most (as well as weak addons and my least favourite chase music in the game)

    She would change a lot just by bringing back the feature where the tape would break when the Survivor holding the tape gets hit. Currently, Sadako is a half-M1 killer who only makes the survivors have the opening tape, makes them turn off the TV, and sometimes forces them to return the tape.

    Did they really patch it or is it still bugged and has both effects?

    Anyway the addon would have been fine with both effects only getting stacks from hocking a survivor with a tape is terrible. Shurely it got only nerfed by the pick rate, but instead of making other addons better, let‘s just nerf it, typical behavior move.

    It‘s very sad, that they didn‘t finish their job with Sadako. Now she can get hard countered constantly by good survivors. They took a lot of horror away from her by introducing the Tv auras, which hurt her a lot in many ways. I personally would prefer getting back local condemned, 2s tape insertion speed and passive condemned by holding tapes. I loved her first version and with all the buffs she got, this version would be amazing.

    i play her from time to time. I win most games due to great mobility but games take wayy too long.

    Most addons dont feel great
