New Sadako changes are quite bad

Putting aside Iri Tape and RIng drawing add-ons, Sadako is one of the weakest killers in the game rn, thanks to:

  1. Her stealth being rendered useless becouse of her lullaby
  2. Condemned being basicly useless
  3. If somehow u get someone fully condemned they can just take m1 then put in the tape
  4. Her teleport cooldowns are incredibly awful
  5. Lack of chase power

Now Bhvr announced changes to Sadako with add-on pass (like let's face it, Iri Tape and Ring drawing need to go, asap), sadly many of these changes don't make sense or they are just straight up nerfs.

Still, fully condemned survivors won't be exposed and her lullaby won't be removed. Furthermore her cooldowns are still going to be trash and somehow u guys nerfed her Tapes...

Are u kidding me Bhvr? 70sec cooldown after teleporting? 90 if survivor puts in a tape?...that's a whole gen being done. Cooldown after teleport should be set at 40sec, making it similar to Freddy's teleport. Cooldown after a survivor puts in a tape should stay how it is- 60sec or hell, even lower it to 50.

Bhvr, If u want to spice her up, buff Mother's mirror to 43% then make it base-kit and then increase time of her passive phasing while manifested by like 6sec. Boom, now we have killer who has really interesting mindgames.

For tapes, keep it's passive slowdown, just increase it to 28sec per stack and remove this big nerf where survivor with tape can go to the nearest TV to get rid of it.

If this rework comes to live servers in this poor state, then we all should be worried about future killer reworks.

    Numbers can still be changed. I’m interested to see what they have planned for the addon passes.

    Other than that, the proposed changes seem to be putting too much agency in Survivors’ hands yes

    i don't know you would call them bad changes when they are all mostly buffs other than the cooldown between teleports.

    and it changes that crappy slugging sadako thing nobody likes

    The changes are making tapes more important to her power, which as they stand on live are largely ignored outside of specific addons being in play. Which is far better for her as a character regardless of the strength on the ptb.

    While also nerfing Tapes. 90sec cooldown, lack of passive slowdown and ability for survivors to just put in Tape to the nearest TV u see are just bad changes.

    Survivors will just often grab nearest Tapes, put them in TVs and not have to worry about her teleporting for 90sec nor for Condemned to spread too fast.

    I like how they made her Condemned mechanic somewhat usefull, i just don't get it why these changes were also made.

    This rework needs some tweaks to be actually kinda good. Right now we have some okay changes like her Demanifested form and Condemned mechanic being more threating and then... yea we have those other changes that just straight up garbage.
