Sadako could be good
Lets be honest sadako is a worse freddy, her condemnation rarely builds up in trials and is mostly ignored because it isnt a threat to survivors.
Her manifestation isnt good too, survivors can see a white ghost from very far despite TR, also they can communicate (swf), if you manage to get closer a unsuspected survivor until you manifest they can SB away (will happen more because of DH nerf) jump a window, or get into a pallet.
Now in the chase aspect of the killer she doesnt shine too, once you are manifested you have to choose if you finish the chase like that or if you demanifest and risk to be in a bad spot once you catch up to the survivor again. Her blinking that happens briefly after a manifestation isnt that helpfull, once you start the animation the survivor can just path the long side of the tile.
The map pressure isnt anything special, we always compare it to freddy TP but freddy has a chase power (weak after nerf but has it) if you play sadako you can be everywhere in the map, but this accomplish nothing if you cant get the down.
TVS: The tv spawns seens RNG based and the devs know what the majority of the playerbase think about RNG, sadako TP has an atrocious cooldown (for each tv) and the tvs are most of the time looking to unusefull places, you will get lost sometimes since she gets the speed boost and start walking to random places like a wall, also the tv is not that usefull in chases once you demanifest the survivors will wait for an audiocue and reverse the path they were taking.
If you want to play SADAKO and FEEL like an unstoppable machine use Spirit Fury,Fire Up,Enduring, Brutal Strenght. Slowdown perks are not needed, sadako is deadly and thats it.
Fixes: Condemnation could increase during chase and after 168 seconds (number of hours that 7 days have) the survivors could get full exposed, getting healed could increase condemantion from the healer.
Tvs could be fixed near gens, and facing always the nearest gen (since gens usually have an open area around them).
Addons: Sadako could have more creative addons, like creating random audio cues from TP, or moving ilusions, could also have addons like wraith Serpent

To be fair, after "removal" of DH and rework of Spine chill, sadako feels much stronger now. But yeah... She's just worsen version of Freddy and Dredge... It's sad tho...
i forgot to write about that, but YES its way better to play M1 killers like Sadako and Wraith now, sadly the SWF teams i got today looks like to have adapted with SB, and when in chase they are using the pallets (before they would greed, DH then use the pallets) so you will be often all match breaking pallets, or going to a gen and having a SB in the face while demanifesting
For me, chase builds on m1 killers have been helping a lot and quite fun to use. Really pairs well with the recent killer buffs.
Don't worry, they'll take a look at her in the Mid-Chapter!
... she was released HOW many months ago?
Oh, well... uh... she's be looked at in SOME mid-chapter.
thats exactly where they need that little help, the first down its too time consuming with an m1 killer, and the trials have low delay in gen speed because of that
