in Feedback and Suggestions

Oni during blood fury is one of the most amazing killers to play as, however he has many annoying issues. The need for a basic attack on early game is at the center of this, as sometimes survivors will just keep pre dropping pallets and holding w making it so your power is impossible to get which feels incredibly frustrating. Another is his addon dependency. These changes aim to address those problems. Feedback is welcome as these changes might be too little or too much:

(massive addon nerfs across the board would be expected with these changes)

  • Increased absorption mode movement speed to 4.1 m/s. (was 3.45 m/s)
  • Increased aura range for blood orbs to 12 meters. (was 8 meters)
  • Increased blood orb attraction range to 10 meters. (was 6 meters)
  • Increased maximum blood orb reservoir to 200. (was 100)
  • Increased passive blood orb drop rate to 2 every 3 seconds. (was every 4 seconds)
  • Increased interaction extra blood orb drop to 3. (was 2)
  • Decreased blood fury activation time to 2.5 seconds. (was 3 seconds)
  • Decreased time to exit (cooldown) blood fury to 2.5 seconds. (was 3 seconds)
  • Increased demon dash movement speed to 8.6 m/s. (Was 7.82 m/s)
  • Quick attacks during blood fury (uncharged) are now considered basic attacks. (Were special attacks)
  • Decreased blood fury base depletion rate to 1.8 charges per second (resulting in 55,55 seconds of blood fury duration). (was 2.2 charges per second or 45.45 seconds of blood fury duration)
  • The oni now starts the trial with blood fury fully charged. (Change)

This way Oni would feel more polished and powerful to play as.

    Oni doesn't need more buffs, trust me

    We have to focus on buffing killers who need it. Oni is not one of them.

    Btw this is the most interesting thing I've seen as Oni can slug entire team with one power use, I believe him getting hits for it is fair trade for how strong his power is.

    Yeah, that's huge overbuff for killer who doesn't need it.

    I have dropped him as my main after his flick changes, simply because it's not interesting for me anymore. It's slightly worse and way easier to do….

    But his power level overall is still pretty high, so I don't think he needs buffs.
