Are YOU enjoying Sadako? (New Killer)

I like her a lot. She's a more viable Scratched Mirror Myers, to me. I won't deny she's not strong with antiloop, but honestly, I think the over reliance on antiloop as a mechanic has kind of hindered the game. Looping seems to have become the central mechanic of the game and this might make killer players relearn how to loop. What bothers me more is map layout. Looping in most maps is basically the same because of the same structures - 4 walls, jungle gyms, L and T walls, Z walls... It kind of stifles creativity within BHVR if the community expects that same map design all the time. But back to Sadako - precisely because of this, she's strong at Midwich, RPD, The Game more or less and ESPECIALLY Lery's. Indoor maps make us have to loop in new and more creative ways. Instead of the same old L and T walls, 4 walls, Jungle Gym formula. And that is also healthier for the game. She goes a bit back to DBD's roots when there was a lot less antiloop.

Unfortunately, most of my hype of her has died and as good as she could be in a theoretical world where good survivors don't know what mindgame are or where healing in general isn't strong, she just brings nothing serious to the table.

Condemned isn't even a funny Joke at this point, they might as well just give her red momento Mori base kit instead because it would be infinitely more powerful and threatening a mechanic. It feels like either survivors can easily ignore TV's to no real danger or take away your power just because, there is no risk reward because unless you actually pick up a VHS there is no stakes, 16 meters for a TV you can hear directionally, can't stack in chase, and only condemns at the VERY END of her TP animation is basically useless, and to compensate she has to give the survivors permission to sneak up on them by giving them a polite little lullaby in her intermittent stealth.

But of course BHVR also had to give them the ability to antagonize the killer for free by being able to remove TV's and getting back down immediately to 3-4 stacks with no passive gain, while you can now only respect loops and pallets when you approach gens by walking across the map to get there. Then again maybe they just want to F with the killer so they get there stacks up just to distract the killer from pressuring gens or chasing a fresh survivor.

She was built for the ground up for whack a mole. She's literal peak-a-boo wack-a-mole. Also even when she's "invisible" in those intermittent moments.... Anyone else notice she still has slight static effects that basically tell you which way she's heading anyway?

I like her, I’m used to playing trapper so power wise it feels like a step up. I can control gens even if they’re really far away from me which feels great. It’s easy to start chases with her too which is the more fun part of the game.

The best part is I had multiple occasions where survivors tell me I scared the ######### out of them.

Worst experience is probably playing on pallet heavy maps like the Game or dealing with CoH.

It's good you pointed out it's the new killer because I had already forgotten about her.

Which answers your question.

I lover her animations and sounds, that alone makes me feel spooky.

I think she is boring to play on top of being weak, I regret paying money for Wraith minus the speed.

I like her so far. tales some getting used to. I do like the creepy factor she has.

I also like the the video on the TV is the wring tape from RIngu playing on it.

I don't like how her height limits her vision in the corn map worse then other killers

little off topic but I had a dream last night I was being chased by oni while he was using blood fury. And it was scary!

she fun but she need a lot more work.

I actually pretty much agree with this (although I think even within kit, she isn't what I would call powerful or even great).

She is just so handicapped in the name of having counterplay, and with no active chase ability her veneer could rub off fairly quick if she doesn't get something to make her more dynamic. The problem with her pressure is with it without TV's she's still m1 and everything she has can be adapted too. I have played against really good killers playing Sadako, Macro gameplay on point, giving up bad chases and going for other survivors to spread the pressure... Etc.

Problem is, when you get a room of survivors with gamesense and know what she's doing, they will hardly fall to her tricks. She is at a point I believe where it really is a small change or two that would put her in a good place, but as she is she has obvious holes, I would argue slightly above where release Freddy was.
