A suggestion for Onryo
From what I understand, Onryo's TV placement is set and not random so I assume they decided that strong TV placement was not a good idea, but some of these TV placements are just plain bad. On Midwich, the room on the bottom floor in the corner, with the fallen ceiling that allows access to the top floor (the library I guess?) Will spawn a TV if the Gen is in the next room. That's really bad, if someone teleports to the TV absolutely nothing happens, no condemn, the speed boost is wasted and the survivor has absolutely no threat from that TVs placement.
My suggestion is two fold. First, make all TVs face and cover the generator in some fashion, so that survivors working on gens are exposed to condemnation at least. Secondly, change what happens during a projection. Instead of just projecting and possibly applying Condemnation, have the projection cause the same thing that Hags traps do, where the survivors camera is forced to turn and focus on the TV to watch the projection. While within LoS and watching the projection, give the survivors the Hindered status effect and remove Onryo's speed boost to compensate. Have the hindred status effect linger for like 1 - 1.5 seconds after the effect ends, either they leave LoS or Projection ends. You can change the add-on that effects the speed boost after projection to just cause the hindered status effect to last like .5 - 1 second longer.
These changes first basically do the same thing with the speed boost/Hindered change, but also are more detrimental to players because of the forced camera movement, as well as making projection just cooler because of the forced viewing. With better TV placement that exposes survivors on gens, survivors will need to decide to either risk getting Condemnation and getting chased off the Gen, or to shut the TV off and risk accruing more Condemnation and having to deliver the tape they are carrying. Survivor counters to this will need to be one player constantly just running around shutting off TVs to counter projection, but risking Condemnation.
The jury is still out on if TV placement that is better for chasing is preferable to TV placement that covers the gens, but even if that is the case, the TVs become generally useless once it's corresponding Gen is completed.
