Reiko's Watch was one of the few addons that actually provided Sadako some form of anti-loop and allowed for a lot of mindgaming and plays to be done using Manifest/Demanifest; especially when Sadako is already pretty horrible at chase, you removed the only tools at her disposal.

To rub salt in the wounds, you removed the ability to gain Bloodlust and Entity-Block Windows while Demanifested, which provides even more safety for Survivors when trying to Manifest/Demanifest Mindgame, which would have been fine by itself but paired with Reiko's Watch being nerfed it becomes overkill.

    Popularity nerf on a phasing add-on... I'm sorry but who approved this?

    Here is the thing as well, it's not even insanely meta to begin with.

    The only sense of popularity it had was among mid-high skill level Sadako's that preferred the mindgaming potential. And even then, there are just better addons, that are more consistent for getting downs/kills/moris.

    Sadako's entire Condemned playstyle was always stronger, and while it did get nerfed, nerfing her anti-loop this hard on an already weak Killer was not a good idea.

    It should’ve been base kit honestly.
