Sadako Buffs

as a sadako main, i think she needs several buffs to make her viable.

first off, she shouldn't have a lullaby. with visual TR she's almost useless stealth-wise.

second off, she shouldn't be able to be pallet stunned while demanifested. she's DEMANIFESTED.

iri videotape should be basekit, and her teleports should be faster.

however, ring drawing should be nerfed, as ring drawing + thana + sloppy with the healing nerfs leads to annoying ####ing gameplay.

    I disagree, they should keep the lullaby as it's very thematic for her character, however it should be changed to be map-wide instead of when she's close by.

    Lullaby could be just ambient sound or increase while you get condemn.

    But back to the topic: there was SO MANY pleas to buff Sadako with SO MANY ideas, but devs probably hate her so much for some reason. Sadly, unlikely we will see her rework, despite that she is liked by many.

    I don't think bhvr hates any of the killers or survivors, it's just that certain characters aren't on the their top priority list atm while other characters are.

    Also i don't think her basekit needs a full blown freddy level rework, but more so a QOL pass.

    "B-b-b-but Sadako condemned!!!"

    Yes. Which requires a specific build, specific add-ons, and a specific playstyle.

    She still needs buffs.

    That's my subjective feeling, because after her release for a year+ there were numerous posts "buff Sadako", i've never seen anything about any killer close by. Literally amount posts how bad Merchant is ten times less than "please buff onryo".

    There were insane amount of suggestions, even without overhaul (with removing slug play and buffing chase), but she is unchanged since release. Therefore - feeling about purpuseful neglecting poor Sadako

    Btw, I was maining her till Knight release, like 99% games, stopped playing just because fed up, not cause I don't like her or she feels weird. It's just if you eat only candy whole year, you really want some salty meat or sour apple for the change.

    You're entitled to your opinion, however if you look at it objectively, it's just a matter of time constraint and certain things being prioritized over other things.

    Also Peanits even commented on one thread about Sadako

    The post states that Sadako is believed to be #1 most deadly killer and #4 most deadly killer at 5% MMR. I do not think it is time constraint more so that they think Sadako is strong thus needs no positive changes. Little bit scary for a weak killer to be that good. for me it was most wow moment when I saw that chart. Sadako just put me in complete awe.

    any way that she's played leads to annoying ####ing gameplay lol
