Giving back Oni's flick?
So with the latest hotfix, 3.4.2, Oni's dash flick ability is virtually gone once and for all.
You can still do a 180 turn, though that will only happen if you hold down Q/E or flick your mouse right at the very end of the attack animation being over. However, this won't get you a lot. Let's get into this.
Oni has recieved quite a good amount of changes since his full release after the PTB. First that survivors drop less orbs, then I think something that concerned his movement (? correct me if I'm wrong) and now the removal of his flick. Though, what makes the flick so special?
The Oni has two abilities: one is the demon dash, the other is the pure insta down M1 strike. Demon Dash basically works like Hillbillys chainsaw minus the penalties of bumping into objects, and one of Onis major skillcaps, in my opinion, was his ability to flick around corners to catch survivors who tried to get out of his path off guard.
With the current patch, this is no longer possible. While I understand that the flick via mouse or Q/E wasn't intended, it sure provided him with a mean of tailgating them when they attempted to squeeze around an edge. I can see that 180 turns are game breaking and surely shouldn't happen, though what if the Oni was given the ability to keep his Q/E flick, though to reduce the angle at which he can flick to something like 90 or 50°?
This doesn't seem too bad, and makes it so that his ability isn't just a new glorified sprint burst for killers.
Opinions?

Nah. I see the Q/E-turning as an exploit.

Weird, why was that never an issue with Hillbilly, I wonder? Oh right, because he isn't Oni who can run at walls without a penalty and still have the capability to flick you around a corner.
Seriously, that's not even an argument. Q/E turning has been around since the dawn of days and it was never an issue until now. Survivors just love to ######### and complain about everything that gives them a disadvantage, I never personally had issues with a Q/E Oni.
Allow Q/E back and give it a mild adjustment to how hard he can flick with it, or at least make the god damn mouse flick work.

Well it was never intended in the first place.
As for skillwise i say curving with Billy is the real difference of skill from a normal billy to a billy main. Obviously you can't really curve as oni cause he aint effected by bumping objects. Also his flick isn't gone entirely. You can do a 90 turn but nowhere near the 180 he was able to do

I don't think you've played him.
You can't do a 90° flick as the Devs said, I've tried it countless times by now and the flick they speak of is absolute garbage and shouldn't be in the game as it is.
Intended or not, sometimes things that weren't meant to exist turn out to be absolute blessings, this was one of them.

I haven't played him so you are right, and even if i did i play on console so i wouldn't even feel a difference lol. But I'm going off of what i read and saying it. One of those absolute blessings was the ranks being shown in lobbies and we saw how that turned out
