The Oni How it should be (by my opinion)

Oni doesn't need changes unless they were to give him back a bit of the flick..

It actually doesnt sound so bad. The idea shifts abit of power away from the dash and into normal movement while in fury mode.An extra 5% movement speed isnt anything to laugh at when it comes to looping. As a whole, this idea sounds abit like a sidegrade.

I get what your saying and I'm not bashing it. The fact that your removing power from one aspect of the Oni while giving more power to another aspect is what defines a side grade. With Oni's dash having been hit pretty hard with the nerf bat recently, which was his defining feature... Giving him something else to be focused towards instead doesnt sound like a bad idea. Thats what your offering here, something else to focus his power into instead BESIDES the dash.

I think the changes you suggested are pretty balanced, but I personally dislike them. He would be a lot stronger when chasing survivors "normally", but much weaker if you're trying to down people with demon dash. For me that would take away the uniqueness of the killer and it would just feel like playing myers who can go into EW3 an infinite amount of times and can travel the map faster. I think your ideas would serve better as a buff to myers and not a change to the oni.

Also, the charge time for the lunge in 2. would be a big disadvantage to console players, as due to the slower turn speed/sensitivity survivors will have quite a lot of time to dodge/360 your swing. Not really a problem on PC, but a pretty big deal over on console.

Well, I don't necessarily have any good ideas on how to buff the oni and even if I did, I could only speak for console, because he feels quite different to PC and console players currently.

I generally think that providing an opposing opinion is still productive, even if it's not accompanied with ideas of my own. It's meant to offer a different point of view and help facilitate a debate where the more creative people can come up with new interesting ideas.I didn't mean to bash your idea just for the sake of it, which I feel is what you thought.

I will try to offer some ideas, if that's what you really want from people:

• A big issue for me with the oni is that during the swing your weapon and hands obscure a larger than normal portion of the screen which makes it difficult to track survivors during the lunge animation. Reducing the FOV block from these (i,e, making his hands and kanabo a bit smaller) would feel like a decent buff.
• The vertical vs horisontal turn sensitivity on console (and inability to adjust these separately) is another issue i have with the Oni during demon dash. I.e. when trying to turn horisontally I'd often turn the joystick vertically ever so slightly, which results in looking at the sky. Trying to correct this ends up with me in limbo switching between looking at the sky and looking at my feet - basically anywhere but where I'm actually trying to look/go. Giving us the ability to reduce the vertical joystick sensitivity while keeping the horisontal sensitivity maxed out would make playing the oni significantly more enjoyable for me and maybe other players with less agile thumbs.
• I'd like to get a little bit more power charge from blood orbs, because it would take less time to get to the "fun" part of playing the oni. Specifically until you manage to activate your power for the first time, this killer is pretty boring.
• I'd like to see an increase in the turn sensitivity while doing a normal charged lunge (not during demon dash). Currently I feel there isn't any opportunity to use the long charged lunge, because it almost locks you in a forward moving animation, making it easy to dodge. The only times I personally have success with it is when survivors are stuck between 2 long walls, or just aren't looking behind them.

Hope you find this more useful.

Honestly, I see no reason to use oni over hillbilly
