Sadako changes are fire

Probably first time when i don't agree with majority of killer players community. Since Sadako release i played max 10 matches with her, because she was super boring and weak to me. But this changes literally makes me want to play this killer. And i don't know why everyone call it's a nerf, because it's obviously a buff.

She now has:

  • Pretty strong mobility + map pressure
  • One of the strongest passive build-in slowdown with fair and strong counterplay

But:

  • Pretty bad addons (Distorted Photo could be such a cool addon, but why it needs los?) (Imagine nerfing Reiko's Watch, lol)
  • Still pretty bad in chase (at least give her Newspaper basekit)

I mean she is not A tier now or something (but above average imo), but she is WAY more pleasant to play as. And mistakes against this killer now really matter.

#1 Onryo aka OPWillie also loves this changes after few hours of playing, so i really think that guys who complaints about these changes should at least give it a chance and try. I'm not saying it often, but pretty good job, BHVR. (and nerf MFT)

    After i read PTB changes, i knew she was going to be on good spot. She is really so good now. I am not playing for hooks, only mori. And yes, you can get a lot moris with her now.

    it's kinda her PTB now, on live servers, because people still not used to take tapes, so it's pretty easy to mori now. Give it a month and everyone will know how to play with her power. But i really love how risks, power and counterplays mix up now, looks really fair and interactive for both sides.

    I dunno, I think with good awareness and skill you can be super oppressive with her. You can watch the HUD and know who has a tape, see which gens have inactive TVs, and know the closest gen to intercept with a TP. That being said it is a super high skill cap as you need extreme macro knowledge as well as the M1 fundamentals to get hits, so it should be fine overall. Also Survivors can counter this by doing adjacent gens, and tag-team swapping tapes for each other, but then you get decent slowdown for free. For how I play Ghosty, this change might basically make her a power-crept sidestep form of him, albeit losing lethality for gaining slowdown.

    Fire...?

    All my Sadako games were just looking for a working TV all game while killer does nothing but teleporting from to a tv, injuring a survivor, rinse repeat...

    riveting gameplay
