Worried about Sadako/Onryo

I'm a massive fan of this character/Killer. I just PRAY that they don't make her completely unenjoyable with this rework they have coming. I liked her on release with the AoE condemn while tapes build up passively, and now I REALLY like her with the universal condemn and catching tape-holder mechanic.

I'm really scared but also intrigued at what they have in mind for her. I love playing as AND against her, I just worry that the ball will be dropped. You know?

    I played as her recently and she is so bad, I hope that the developers pump her with steroids because she needs all the buffs in the world to fix her pitifully weak state.

    Also, any ball that could have been dropped was dropped 100 times by now.

    Yeah personally i didn't like how condemned felt so irrelevant originally so i love the new rework version. They said in the Q&A that they want to bring her back to her original a bit more but still improve stuff like condemned so i feel like they are going in the right direction i just have to wait to see if the execution is good.

    i think it depends if they full revert her into weak killer or iterate on her. If they're iterating on her like buffing her phase-walking and weaken condemn to make her a bit more of -even- then she could be more enjoyable to play because then you can make more m1 plays and rely a little bit less on condemn but still have condemn as like a lingering threat.

    Yea shes busted and boring to play against. Pub stomper, which is the majority of the player base. Oh well until they do something about it.


    And ultimate hand hold.


    Guess its play SWF and swing the pendulum the other way or just dont play.

    I enjoy Sadako too. She feels about right now. Honestly, I don't think the condemned rework is that powerful because it is fairly easy to use the tapes. Much more effective as killer to use her as a stealth/mobility killer. If I get a condemned kill or two during a match, that's just gravy.

    I do like how tapes are more of a focus now, but I do understand the players who think otherwise and miss Sadako's ease of map traversal. Honestly I have mixed feelings and hope she doesn't get the same treatment as Freddy.

    If they somehow come to a middle ground with it, I'd be happy.
