Myers needs a rework.

Do you want to get to EW3? Ok, but it will cost you 2 gens and you will not be able to stalk if there is a small bush in the middle.

    Provide footage and perhaps some of us can give advice. Myer's needs a slight buff, not enough to warrant a rework.

    I don´t think a full rework is needed. He DOES need buffs though. EW1 is too much of a hindrance, certain aspects of the Stalk mechanic feel outdated and hes outshined in every of his core aspects by other killers. Stealth? GF and Pig got it better. Stalk? GF can do it faster without the unnecessary range punishments. Snowball? Admittedly decent if the survivors aren´t particularly skilled, outshined by serveral Killers.


    I love Myers, as he´s been a major reason I got into the game. Still play him at Rank 1 (ye I dropped rank...I know it doesn´t really matter) but he takes so much more effort for so low of a reward, it´s disappointing.

    He just need a general buff. Not a rework. He is going to receive an add on rework however I believe, so I completely expect him to also receive base kit buffs. (I literally can't see them nerfing Myers, he's well loved.)

    His power is super deadly and when he's in Tier 3 every survivor fills their diaper unless they're super confident or in a safe space. At least, I know I do.

    I'd say it needs to be easier for him to exit Tier 1, especially to provide some early-game pressure. He may not need a full rework but EW1 needs a definite change, even if that costs some of the snowball of EW3.

    Yeah otz feels that way as well. Me personally, I normally don't have issues getting into tier 2. There are some maps like the game or Lery's that can definitely make it more difficult. So if anything make tier one take a second or two less of stalk. I don't want them messing with his add-on's, they are in a good place for the most part.

    He needs buffs, not a rework.

    Noooo I love Myers, a rework is unnecessary. He just needs updating and some buffs to make his early game a little less punishing.

    I agree with several of your points. Maybe he just needs a buff or a little rework, he is a killer who depends a lot on his accessories just like the wraith.

    Michael is one of the most balanced killers in this game.

    He is actually in a good place right now. If it’s taking you that long to stalk then that is nothing to do with the killer, it has to do with your inability to stalk properly.

    I’m so tired of seeing people want to clump every problem they have into gen speeds. It’s like “oops I made a mistake, 2 gens gone”... comes on the forums “please fix gens”.

    Michael is literally someone survivors love playing against too. Let’s not make him annoying to go against like they have other killers.

    Yep Michael is my favourite killer to play agasint, always that anticipation of is he going to tier now? Oh crap this is it I'm going down. Not over powered not underpowered, just knowing when and where to make your move

    He is one of the few that I actually like more then others.But I’ve also had games here and there where the user playing as Myers is super campy.But again that’s not very often at least in my matches with him.

    My troughts come to the fact that he passively gains EW stacks while in chase in P1, It would make early game less tidious for Myers who gets found out, because let's not deny it, Mikey isn't really GF or Piggy tier when it comes to stealth with his heavy chest and his 2 meters~

    It's still an idea but I think the real deal is to help players who don't play around it to yeet out of EW1 as soon as possible.
