Sadako changes MIGHT be a nerf
We will see tomorrow of course but the more I think about these changes the more it makes me worried.
Survivors can now hold tapes and remove them on ANY TV, protecting them from gaining projection condement. Survivors can turn of your TV for 90 seconds! Now sure, if you projecting and hooking Survivors who have tapes, it is punishing for the team but at the same time tapes are easy to get and easy to remove and it still removes a lot of stacks. I can imagine SWF groups just holding tapes and turning off TVs left and right and Sadako being maybe even worse than before. Her chase is almost the same. Her teleport is worse I would say overall since you have extra cooldown timer. I bet also her best addons will be nerfed (Hello Iri tape). I don't know guys, I don't have such positive feeling about it. I feel like the power will be more in Survivors hands than before aka you get decent Survivors = gg ezi game. It's like the Singularity problem all over again.

Cooldowns are so long. Really so long. I mean survivors can disable her power for most of trial.
This is same problem Singularity has. I hope they fix this issue after PTB.

I still dont know, if survivor take the tape from TV A and put it in TV B. Do both TVs have cooldown? Or just one of them?

Both. At least that's how it works now and I belive it is the same. So you turn of two TVs for 90 seconds instead of 60 seconds while also being immune from her teleport condement. Even if she finds you and hook you, you get 2 stacks (team gets 1). You can then easily get another tape and remove all that has been just done + another TV's offline. It sounds bad.

Even if it does end up being a nerf initially, she seems more interesting now at first glance. It can always be adjusted again after the PTB. I like that survivors will have to actually interact with TVs now rather than just ignoring them 100% of the time, and I think being able to use any TV to drop your tape off is a fair tradeoff. Having only one TV available (which allowed Sadako to teleport there and force Condemned) was problematic anyway. Hopefully they also reworked Ring Drawing and killed off the slugging build.
I do agree 90 seconds may be too long of a cooldown now that projection itself has a 15 second cooldown as well. Either way I’m excited to see how it is on the PTB, she has needed substantial changes for a long time and she is getting them.

How many TV in totals in a match?
0 -
1 per each Gen. So 7 I think.

I've never stopped to count , but do know that there's always 1 close to a gen, so 7 at least.

Thats mean 1 survivor stuck with no TV to put in the tape? Even if survivors use all the TV.
I mean, if Sadako teleports just 3 times, 4 survivors have 2 stacks. At least 2 of them have to get the tape. Because if wait for later, they dont have enough TV to get and input the tapes.
Get tape at 5 stacks is a risky move. Given 1 tape running to another TV. If found by Sadako, its an instant kill. 2 survivors have to spend time for tapes with 2 stacks. So with TV cooldown, the other 2 survivors can get tapes at 4 stacks.
This cycle may repeat for every 3-4 teleport.

they ARE nerfs. being able to deposit to any tv destroys her alone.

something that very few people know about is that Sadako has feature in her kit that removes ability to disable every television. it works similarly to corrupt purge where if all fountains are corrupted, you automatically gain your power. in sadako's case, if all TV are turned off, 1 TV is automatically turned on. This is to prevent survivors from completing deleting her ability. This mechanic was kinda useless before because... the tv that turns on is random and there is no guaranteed that anyone will be near TV that is turned on as radius was 16 meters. Now it is global so this mechanic is a lot more useful assuming nothing has changed about it.

Im pretty sure that feature isnt acaullty in game, its a deactive feature.
1 -
It doesn't. They remain off until their respective cooldown resets. Unless you have an add on.

Nevermind being a nerf or buff I just don't like how it dumbs down her whole gameplan. The whole thing feels like a sidegrade taking away all the skill and knowledge required to make Condemned work.

I only play sadako with iri tape so i never saw this feature in play but it says it is feature in wiki. so if they nerf iri tape/rework because... it is bvhr right? that is what they do, you can delete all 7 TV's?. that is going to awful. having zero tv's to teleport for entire game. now I can be m1 killer with 0 mobility. 10/10 change.
