Help me understand the Oni's ability.
I've come across the Oni when his blood fury is active many times. I pretty sure he has an ability which goes something like this 'Charge in a straight line, any hit on a survivor will immediately put them into dying state'.
If so, how come whenever he activates this ability and I go round corners to avoid it, he is able to go round corners and down me instantly. Because that isn't a straight line is it?
If I'm incorrect about this ability please help me understand it

It’s much more than a straight line. He has a lot of maneuverability in his power and if played well can get around a lot of obstacles to guarantee a hit.
He can strafe and move left/right at a slow pace, but can move camera a bit more freely. It’s one of the strongest abilities in the game, but limited by hits and blood orb accumulation.
The best path to understanding is playing Oni but if you’re not interested, maybe watched skilled Oni gameplay. I’d recommend Scott Jund or Monto.
Imagine billy with his turning add ons.
Yhyh I've just watched someone play the Oni, but his ability seems abit unfair. He can basically turn normally and run at like double the speed.
There's no way to get away because he can go around corners, and isn't the only way his dash stops is when he misses a hit. Even if you pallet him, he can just activate it again as it dosnt have a cooldown? So you're baso going to get downed unless ur incredibly lucky
Its about 195% a survivor’s sprint. 360ing is effective but he has a lunge and flick. That lunge and flick makes hitting obstacles easy too though.
I would say it’s up to the survivor to know what frustrates Oni. He can do very little after a vault for instance.
He definitely has a multitude of cooldowns btw. Activating wrath, going into the dash, ending the dash, swinging/missing, and hitting objects all have cooldowns.
His power is strong. Inarguable. But survivors can deny him his ability. He’s literally the worse killer in the game until he gets a hit.
He is far from OP. I am an Oni main, and he definitely has some counterplay. First of all, he starts the game EXTREMELY weak. He is a man with katana at the start of the game and he will suffer. However, once he gets that first hit, the game can start snowballing for him as he can get his blood fury from survivors. In order to counter him, you have to drop pallets very (emphasis on very) safely. The longer you deny him that first hit, the worse it is for Oni. His power is the strongest in the game. Stronger than any other killer, but it can be prevented so easily and he has a time limiter on it. When he is in blood fury, you can do some things to help yourself. 1: Don't loop him at most loops. Looping is futile against a blood fury oni since he can prevent it so easily and just demon dash and demon strike you. There are some loops that he can't do anything at, such as L-T walls, long walls and god loops. 2: God windows. On maps like disturbed ward and suffocation pit with god-like windows, he can't do anything to you. He is one of the strongest killers in the game, but far from OP. He has counterplay.
LMAO imagine how horrible Oni would be if he could only go in a straight line. SIMPLY TURN to beat him.
As someone who has mained oni since he came out, there are a lot of ways to counter him, just try to deny early hits as much as possible, if the oni has his power try staying in LT walls, shack and long walls.
If the oni is using infectious fright (which most onis use) as soon as he downs someone, go to a safe spot not in the open like most people do.
