Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Nerf Oni in 2v8

Him with Legion is the reason why killer queues takes forever.

Just make survivors drop blood orbs only when they get injured by Oni and the duration of his range should be reduced.

    You really won't manage to blame queue times on Oni and Legion :D

    Thing is when we are playing I manage to still escape against Oni very often, but I simply think it's because there is no good match making and they are just bad…

    But one thing is true that Oni is not thaaat strong, because survivors have basically infinite unbreakable. He still can't pick everyone.

    When I play as Oni, I usually manage to down 4-6 survivors, but in reality only 1-2 of that become hook stages.

    I haven't played Oni with Legion yet and i find that he's not that good, without Legion (haven't been able to try that yet).

    Blood orbs are frustratingly uncommon, the power duration does not last long enough, survivors anti-slug and Medics put too much pressure on you to hook

    So if it's a Oni and Legion issue simply nerfing Oni would make him probably entirely unviable outside of that combo.

    Oni and legion are the reason why. It isn’t because everyone wants to be him more people would rather play 1v4 than face them

    Oni is not the problem, it's just only Legion, Legion is in literally 90% of games and just plays for injures because people are too dumb to separate against a Legion. Legion makes the game infinitely easier for all the other killers.

    Legion was the only big mistake of 2v8, some killers just should not be in 2v8 like Plague, Twins

    "Him with Legion is the reason why killer queues takes forever"
    Yes thats why every version of 2v8 so far Killer queues have been upwards of 15+ mins

    yes its always taken a while but never this long. Last times during 2v8 I was waiting most 12-14 minutes. Now I never get wait times less than 20 minutes. Its even gone up to 25 minutes when I play without a friend.

    Oni and legion are definitely a problem in 2v8 now. My friends dont even want to play 2v8 anymore and I dont want to play survivor anymore. So yeah ill be joining the long queues of killer.

    I can kind of see where you're coming from, but Oni is somewhat counterable tho. Not fully counterable, but you just need to hope the RNG is good and have a lot of obstacles. And it depends on the skill level of the player that's controlling Oni. Legion is annoying, sure. But Legion is a common killer for this mode, you'll get them regardless (which sucks. Legion = Free Injures and quick downs…). The killer queues are long as it's limited heavily or there isn't as much survivors. (When it's strangely quick for queuing as survivor...). Lastly, Killer (maybe Survivor) ping matters a lot. I've had instances where the Oni charged at me, hit something else close to me but still downed me. Yet, that player had high ping. Like 150-200+.

    He was so frustrating, that he warped space and time to also impact the queue times of previous 2v8, before he was even implemented. 😩

    The problem of Legion-Oni synergy rests more with Legion, think of how well Legion also pairs with Nurse, Blight, Huntress, etc. I'll even go farther and say a mediocre Legion player and an above-average killer main with a simple M1 killer like wraith or ghostie can absolutely dominate a match due to how absurdly well Legion's mend pressure synergizes with every other killer on the roster.

    Don't nerf Oni, extract Legion from 2v8.
