    I would love for these changes. She really needs it not going to lie. I was not a fan of the 3.0 rework. I got really vocal about it too. I would have been happy with how she was originally designed just with todays buffs.

    Clump of Hair should also be reducing the lullaby that she has. It really hurts her "stealth" since people can tell when she's getting near quite easily.

    The Demainfested and Manifested invisibility durations are fine in their current state. They work like they are supposed to. A lot of these changes are pretty unnecessary.

    Sadako right now is not in a good state at the moment along side her add-ons, can you explain how exactly are these changes are rather unnecessary?

    I completely agree with those changes.

    They're very fair and healthy for making this Killer somewhat playable.

    Sadako was the only reason I decided to watch Dead by Daylight content and later play her in-game.

    However, facing ANNOYING SWFs who were facecamping my TVs just to turn them off, just to be annoying of course, gave me a really bitter taste for playing this Killer, and I realized how cracked the counterplay to her actually is.

    Even though my Sadako skill floor was extremely high, it took a survivor one tape insert to pretty much deny me any value from my power, which is obnoxious as hell.

    Absolutely agreed to what you said here, despite having my extremely high skill floor even against VERY coordinated 4 man SWFs they could deny me from getting value from my power and block me from teleporting across the map by facecamping my TVs just to keep turning them off over and over.

    I know that sounds absolutely nuts but the counterplay towards her is just cracked to say the least.

    I've played every version of Sadako. The current version is the most enjoyable to play. The first version of Sadako was the weakest. The 2nd version was the strongest, but it was brain dead and very unhealthy. The 3rd version is a good balance between skill and healthiness.

    I have 314 tracked games on Sadako and an 88.3% kill rate. I haven't lost a single match in 314 games i.e. I'm on a 314 win streak. If you think Sadako is weak, you just need to get good.
