2v8 Oni is still a Major Problem
2v8 is coming to an end and it's time to address that Oni is still a major problem in this mode he's currently the Meta Pick and in 70% of matches because the Nerfs Devs gave him were not enough and needs further nerfs to explain he gets blood to easily and enter his demon form to frequent also while I'm this form there's nothing Survivors can do to survive.
These are the nerfs I think Oni needs in 2v8
Blood orb requirement to enter demon mode increased by 25%
Survivor blood orb spawn frequency decreased by 30%
Oni regains his 90 degrees turn rate attack restrictions in demon dash.
Thread open for discussion

I think he's overtuned for sure but he's genuinely one of two if maybe three killers in 2v8 who can keep up with the 4 Escapist Meta currently. Buff Trapper, PH, Spirit, and Ghost Face and add some of the nerfs you suggested and increase the cooldown on the AOE sprint burst and I truly think we'd be in a good place.
He is currently my main deterrent to playing the mode. The power renewal isn't so much my issue as the turn rate.
I agree 100% and I’m glad someone made a post about this because I was about to do it myself. All usual counters like taking 180 turns around walls or other obstacles don’t work because he has no turn radius limitations whatsoever. Still completely busted.
Sure I guess as long as on demand sprint burst gets taken out.
i personally hate the Spirit in this mode, but yeah sure
"meta pick" there are like 6 killers to choose from in 2v8 lol
nurse and blight are unplayable for half the players as well
Is it surprising i don't really find Oni all that bad when Billy is a slightly weaker version without a "fuel"?
Whoa, you're getting 70% Onis? I'll trade you my 70% Weskers, and you can even have my 50% Nemesis for free.
jesus your lobbies must be bloody
This does seem like a good route to go although for buffs I'd replace spirit for slinger
I'd take that trade Wesker has more fair counterplay then Oni
When sprint burst on button gets nerfed then we can start a conversation about oni in 2v8
Well now in 2v8 not realy he will get you faster than oni who isnt powered, his vault is on ghoul level just way better and his fixed hitbox which should have been fixed years ago isnt help you either with vaulting into his face like before where he didnt hit you.
Not to mention wesker and oni this 2v8 was probably best duo if you played with friend mainly because infected survivors couldnt see auras of creates with sprays so weskers infection was god tier there and nemi was playable way more because few survivors found and used sprays.
Oni depends on other killer a lot because he alone is dog trash there but once he powers he is beast but cant slug that much due to strong antislug. I dislike more speed like 15% is bit too much and it should be 10% also he doesnt need that 20% turn speed buff here these changes would make him perfect (even billy has no speed here so Idk why oni has). Onis power should be easy because of how incosistent it is to get it and how easy is it to keep him from it but this alone makes him very balanced killer in casual mode tbh. Like it or not but I think killers power should be strong and easy to use if he has it very limited and can use it few times per game but thats more 1v4 of a thing.
It wont, devs said in last stream this mode should favor survivors more so I doubt highly they will even make cooldown longer.
The worst loopers casualy run this cheap class abd think they are good but its like old desd hard even more less skill friendly because you can use it anytime when you have it charged and it contains quick and quiet plus is shared with other survivors and it has super low cooldowns.
