How often Sadako's condemn mechanic impacted your games?

I have only seen once when a survivor didn't play seriously and probably wanted to see the animation

    One condemned kill in probably 30 games and it was the first game I played where survivors weren't trying.

    It does pretty much nothing at all. I was hoping the buff it got from the PTB would be enough but it wasn't.

    Most of the time I go a whole game as a survivor and never touch a tape.

    what even is that? Whenever I play against her it's just her silent invisibility and moving between TV's

    When I'm forcing condemn kills, every game. When I'm not forcing it, never.

    Outside of a few survivors holding onto tapes for far too long, I don't think I've ever seen anyone's bar actually hit red.

    7 bars at the speed condemn builds up is far too generous. Honestly it's generally worth turning off the TV near the gen, finish the gen, and then turn in the tape. You might end up with a bar of condemn, but it also prevents Sadako from getting information on who was near the tv when she teleported.

    Inconsistent. Whenever CoH wasn't brought into the Trial, I get 3 Condemnation Mori's. If CoH is present, then it's between 0 and 1

    I've had to put in plenty of tapes to keep my condemned down. But that was with the condemned upon healing add-on.

    Basically nonexistent. After all this time I only managed to pull it off once, beyond that it's not a threat to survivors at all. Sadako definiely needs some buffs in that area.

    It's actually very impactful when you have the Ring Drawing addon and they don't have COH.

    Outside of that, it's only really happening when I force it (which I can do semi well btw) and have to make myself tp in chases to people with a tape to build that sweet sweet condemned. Usually I can figure out their TV after a few seconds of aura reading (thank you BBQ) and guard it to force condemned but outside of that, never.

    Killed two dudes with it but they didn't even know what they were even doing because MMR ######### them over so......yeah it does absolutely nothing against average players.

    As a surv i don't think i ever needed to reset the curse unless i was actively trying to stack alot of it.

    This is actually tricky to judge because a lot of people above are assuming that unless you see someone become fully Condemned the ability did nothing, but in reality if the ability coerced a survivor to spend 15 seconds to get off a gen to run across the map to use a TV that’s its main effect. So the question isn’t really how often does she actually get to kill survivors who are Condemned but how often do survivors stop doing gens to go turn in a tape? If every survivor turned in a tape once or twice per match for example, that would be about 15 seconds of slowdown every time so would add up over the course of the match to one or two minutes of extra gameplay for Sadako. (It’s almost certainly not as good on average as Pig’s slow down, but then again Sadako has much better map mobility and is faster when stealthed so that makes up the difference.)

    What I don’t know is how often survivors actually run to turn in a tape. I know it happens, and I’ve actually even gotten kills now and then from survivors who were careless about it, but it’s very hard to tell from the killer perspective how much indirect slowdown I’m actually getting. More than zero but less than Pig?

    It usually only happens when survivors don't know what they are doing, or they aren't paying attention.

    I regularly take the tape when I'm about to unhook a nearby survivor or have a good amount of progress on a nearby gen, so I'm always managing my condemned status. I see other survivors do the same fairly often too.

    How often have survivors been killed by it? Only a few times, like less than 5. Probably about as often as I see a survivor die from a Pig trap.

    It will probably get a bit of a buff but nothing crazy. The devs definitely don't intend for that to be a major way for her to get kills, but instead to force survivors to waste time

    Never, it's something that can be completely ignored and it won't change anything unless survivors make it a threat. It doesn't even feel like a threat really while the secondary objects from Pig RBTs, Pinhead cube, and the zombies are forced objectives that are a real threat and can't be ignored. Yet Ringu girl secondary objective can be easily ignored.

    It stopped me from doing like, one gen per game. Nothing much at all.

    I don't know either, but whenever CoH isn't present, I get more Condemnation Mori's than whenever CoH is present
