Huh sadako slug is strangely effective.
I assume someone popularized this so now people are trying it. Using ring drawing and the iri to cycle tps as much as possible to fill peoples bars up. Then proceed to repeatedly slug them to force the spread through ring drawing slug heals. Then just mori people when they get full. It makes sadako very scary I'll give it that considering the 2 matches ive faced against it today were 3ks. Personally i don't endorse slug as a playstyle but sadako can apparently do it well. Anyone else try/face this build?

It makes Sadako extremely annoying and boring just dragging out a match for far beyond what it should be for crap mini moris.

It won't be a thing anymore if the Finishing Mori is ever released how it is right now, tho. Base-kit unbreakable means survivors will get up by themselves, so no grouping up or slug heal, and possibly before the nearest TV turn on again.

It's vastly uninteresting to play as and against. Get rid of it and give her common sense buffs.

I don't normally like to ping but @GoodBoyKaru you play a lot of onryo right? Whats your thoughts? It feels like a myers tombstone case where just because there's one way for myers/onryo to win easily doesn't mean they aren't weak overall. But my knowledge is limited.

I don't like playing it, because it feels like a win more tactic. Like I'm sure that it can work against good players, but it doesn't often do so, and the entire strategy is hard countered by the team playing smart with medkits or Circle of Healing of even Self-Care. Simply have another survivor 99' your heal and then finish yourself off with a medkit or any other method of self-heal.

Does circle of healing/selfcare help against the slug tactic though? Since someone has to get them off of the floor. Spreading it to them?

Provided they watch their Condemned bar then it doesn't matter. You won't be applying it often enough for it to truly matter, especially against players that know what they're doing.
That's, what, +2 condemned for a teleport + slug pick up. Survivors remove 3 condemned for delivering a tape and them turning TVs off this way doesn't allow iri tape to turn them back on.
So long as the survivors are good, you will struggle a lot with this tactic.
I faced it not too long ago. teammates were absolutely useless. I don't think my Condemned ever went above 5 and I managed 2 gens and lord-knows however many heals.

im honestly expecting a nerf sadako thread at any time, because she has one viable yet boring play style

I tried this but I felt like I was putting in way more effort than I would need to doing literallyanything else with any ody, let alone just facing survivors of equal strength.
It's a gimmick for Sadako lovers but not really a viable strat like, say, afk pig was. Afk pig had a low kill % but that was at least viable because you could...literally go afk.
I would rather play Legion than this version of Sadako I'm sorry :(
It's just a pub/potato stomp strat

I've used the slug to spread condemn strat all along. It isn't new just got popular when sadako mains saw it was effective. Now it will go bye bye... I mean there are other ways to spread condemn other than slugging but the mori will be no more so what will be the point of condemn?

It's a very tiring playstyle and boring for both sides. I'd rather have Sadako buffs and to see this playstyle to hopefully die when the Finisher Mori update comes.

It's a showcase for what happens when you have a strategy that enables winning the game without hooking survivors. Some people will do anything to win, even if it involves a boring, or frustrating play style for everyone involved.
It's a good thing they aren't adding in any shortcuts for every killer like this. Can you imagine if any killer could just end the game by downing all remaining survivors without hooking more than one or two of them? Man, that would suck.
Oh wait.

bvhr is already nerfing it by next patch. all survivors will have free base-kit unlimited unbreakable. I wonder if there will be buffs to compensate killing killers that rely on slugging for their power to work properly. Its like they only want killers playing high-end killers like blight 24/7 with how they changed things. anti-fun dev's.
