How does the "My Little Oni" modifier feels for you?

I've only played the killer side so far.

The first round was a draw but once I've got the rules, if you forgive the expression : I've stomped.

It's basically hide-and-seek, with intermittent aura-reading for the killer.

I believe it's too hard for survivors.

    I've actually had more luck as survivor than killer. 3 gens are pretty quick to do and pallets are still potent.

    So far i love the concept, I've only played the survivor and i believe it has potential. From what i can tell it may be harder to hit the survivors since they're smaller. The oni was also cool but for survivors who cant do anything on the pallets it didn't give a reason to break the pallets.

    It seems I'll be in the minority here, but I didn't really like it. It is just a silly little mode for April's Fools, but I don't think it is fun or enjoyable to play.

    That was my first match. But once I've realised I should not break pallet's, it made most chases trivially easy.

    Exactly.

    I don't believe you are in the minority. My opinion of the mode is that's an experience but I didn't enjoy it.

    To quote a survivor I've versed: no thrills.

    I just view it as a novelty. I like that they did it and hope they continue to add more experiences like this in the future though. I think alternate game modes are the perfect venue to make daring and bold changes without upsetting anyone. Maybe, just maybe, they will find a game mode that is so fun it may be added as a permanent option or be the seed of an entirely new game.

    It's definitely fun for a few games and laughs.

    Hmmm, interesting I was under the impression most people liked it.

    I played one game of each role and I'll probably not play it again before it ends.

    Honestly, same. I got the player badge, and that is enough for me.

    My Little Oni allowed me to FINALLY get the Left for Dead Achievement. Make of that what you will

    It hasn't been here for long and I'm already feeling burned out of it. Which honestly is fine because it's only here for 2 days and is serving it's purpose. It's fun for a while then gets old. Perfectly fine for it's purpose and I hope it returns next year maybe for a different killer? It would be interesting if they brought it back every year but changed what killer it was. Maybe next year it'll be My Little Knight or something. Idk that's the first killer that came to mind.

    It's fine for an April Fools joke. It's funny on killer, and I haven't played it on survivor yet, but the novelty of being a tiny survivor is going to be funny.

    I respect them for actually making it a mode. They could have just made a My Little Pony joke for April Fools and left it at that, but they actually ran with it. I respect that.

    I think it's funny, and kind of cute, but the fact that they made it not affect your MMR but you still depip makes it just a one off for me. Once the next patch drops and depipping is finally removed, that will be much better for future events.

    But right now, it's just a fact that if you don't sweat and tryhard every match, you risk depipping. Will be so nice to be able to just have fun, rank up at a nice pace.

    And before anyone says that "Rank doesn't matter anymore" that's true, but it does matter if you want that bloodpoint bonus on reset every month. That matters to some players, even if it doesn't matter to you.
