People give up against Sadako now?

I'll admit I had taken a couple months break from her and decided I would get some bp offerings on her, however, about 50% of my games today had two plus people immediately run and point to a hook. Considering she got nerfed pretty hard from her previous iteration this took me by surprise. Do solo q survivors just find picking up tapes too difficult now?

I would also like to preface this isn't an attack against survivor mains I'm just genuinely curious if people find her kit annoying to face like Skull Merchant or Pinhead

    Is it just today? She's had a pretty sweet skin hit the store so could be that people are seeing her alot today and are a bit over it

    It’s honestly just the people who play her are miserable usually. Out of The past 10 Sadakos I’ve had 9 were very miserable with how much they were slugging, tunneling. But one of them was super fun to go against and actually cracked of course it was One Pump Willie the P100 Sadako.

    The funny part is besides the people intentionally giving up I had others today that wanted to be mori'd because I had that skin haha

    They don't like killers that teleport or killers that get speed boosts, like Freddy or Wraith, and so they just play badly against them or give up. There's nothing you can do to help that caliber of players.

    I've seen people give up against Trapper. As Trapper, I've seen people give up a fair few times. It's quite embarrassing.

    It's the same with Skull Merchant and Twins. What terrible killer design of that both right now and unhealthy game play.

    Of course, there are players who enjoy this type of game, just as there are cheaters who enjoy it for weeks/months even though they are basically cheating themselves, but a good psychologist would be more advisable if you find something like this to be "fun".

    Same, the last three Sadako's I went against were massive fans of the slugdako and condemn build teleport spam as well. It was mega boring, because after a while people just stopped picking up the tapes and just let themselves bleed out on the ground. what should have been close fifteen-minute games were turned into twenty-five-minute slogs because the Sadako's wanted value from condemned. -_-

    As a Sadako mian myself, I was super pissed too because there are so many interesting ways to play her, but they went the path of least resistance.

    100% agree with this. The majority of the time I go against a Sadako they are ultra sweaty. I couldn't begin to guess why that is. I've pretty much learned going against a Sadako is very likely not going to be a fun game. But I to my best and just move to the next one

    I haven't had too many people DC on me lately, except maybe when a flashlight save failed once or twice.

    My SoloQ teammates all get killed by her because they don't use the tapes. I find it hard to believe the amount of people I find that become condemned. I also had a teammate give up against her last night and just point to the hook.

    I don’t like playing her because the k ym two playstyles I go against with her are either slugging everyone at 5 gens or the spam teleports to build up condemn stacks so they can mori everyone. Even if you’re on top of grabbing the tapes, having to run to one specific tv where that tv is always on the other side of the map from you, slows down gameplay for too much. I end up in 20-30 minute matches and I can’t be bothered.

    I don’t hate versing Sadako as much as I do Legion and Skull Merchant but she’s high on my list of killers I hate going against for sure.
