A healthy change to Sadako.
Firstly, nerf Iri tape to only 2 TVs instead of 4. Secondly, give her a new baseline ability that 3 random TVs turn on whenever you hook someone, and anyone within 12 meters of the TVs turned on by this gain 1 stack of Condemned. This would help get rid of the absolutely unfun for both sides slugging Condemn Sadako while helping her passively as she's in a pretty bad state right now. It would make seeing Condemned in a match much more likely because if you went to a TV that was near a gen that was nearly finished, catch someone, and hook them, the chances of 1 or 2 people being near that TV and getting progress towards full Condemned is much higher.
The reason she has such a high kill rate is because let's be honest here, pretty much every M1 killer is forced to tunnel right now. Regression perks were hard nerfed, every uses either Sprint Burst or Lithe, making chases take substantially longer, and body blocking and taking hits are very common and effective against them.
I feel this change would help address one of the core issues of Condemn kind of just... being there in the background. I'm currently prestige 4 level 35. And out of all the games I've played I've seen maybe 5 condemns pop, granted this is without the iri tape, but that's exactly my point. And out of those 5 pops, I got the mori on 3 of them. One time someone had it pop and they were right next to their tape turn in so it instantly wore off. Perhaps another change would be a hard 10-20 seconds or somewhere in that general area where you can't lose full Condemn?
There are plenty of ways to help M1 killers, but instead of either nerfing the movespeed perks (which let's be honest at the very least Lithe deserves one) or buffing M1 killer movespeed or common M1 killer perks, buffing their powers to make them more impactful on the game is the way to go. You could even take the same approach to Trapper, maybe reduce the chance to free yourself from a trap by 1% and give Trapper 1 extra trap baseline, there's so many ways to buff their powers without doing someone that would indirectly buff the already very powerful killers like Spirit, Nurse, or Blight.
