What's everyone's opinion on tombstone myers?

I think it's fair as it takes forever to proc.

    I have no strong opinion on whether it's balanced or not, but I love using it because killing standing survivors is pretty freaking sweet. 🙂

    P.S. The only thing I don't like is that the Red tombstone add-on seems to be more finicky about trigger the kill. Half the time I use it I just get the normal down. The Purple tombstone seems to work more reliably. It probably has to do with the difference in movement speed and having to be within grab distance.

    Pretty weak. Kind of just a self-sandbag, TBH. It's not even that it's difficult, it just relies on survivors potaoing so hard you could mash them and stick them atop a pie.

    Yeah, but then you still have the movement speed slowdown and the good old locker tech.

    If survivors have a brain, then it's balanced.

    You know how I punish locker techs? Hook em. They act so smug in that locker but then when I pull them out and hook them, they lose that smugness real quick.

    I like it. Its unique and devastating but it takes so long to activate it feels balanced.

    It's nice but hell, you take a long time stalking and losing pressure.

    Idk if It's worth it for competitive play.

    That’s my team of randoms’ tombstone opinion... for what it’s worth, since ranks don’t matter anymore anyway.

    It’s pretty deadly, actually, especially in certain hands.

    I think its balanced, by the time Myers gets to TIII with tombstone + tuft of hair and gets his 3 PWYF stacks survivors should have done at least 3 or 4 gens.

    ...some more random’s thoughts on iridescent heads :P

    Depends on the cases.

    Tombstone alone - Fine, it takes a while, you don't have infinite, you're slow.

    Tombstone + Fragrant Tuft - Alright, usually takes so long that all the gens are done anyway.

    Tombstone Piece/Tombstone Piece + Faster stalk = Broken as all hell. You can mori someone seconds into the game. Just utterly disgusting.


    Overall the biggest issue with these is that the survivors games are basically worthless regardless because there's usually no hooks for altruism, no real chases for boldness, and if you happen to be the unlucky person he tiers up against in melee range, zero chance for survival points.

    My opinion can be summed up in a statment.

    " I got it to proc, killed 1 person but the the gens are done and they are t-bagging at the doors."

    IMHO underpowered. You can't tombstone people in lockers or on the ground, you're slow as heck without PYWF, and you need to drain 3 and a half survivors to hit EW3 if you combo it with Tuft Of Hair for infinite EW3. Even if you mori everyone you'll usually depip. It's just bleh.


    I'd buff the full Judith's Tombstone to allow locker and ground moris at the cost of tombstoning draining a PYWF stack, Myers losing the ability to lunge (so no using the EW3 extended lunge to down someone, then tombstone them on the ground) and the evil requirement for Tombstone increased so when combo'd with tuft you literally need every drop of stalker juice out of all 4 survivors to pop EW3.


    Tombstone + Tuft Myers would arguably have less counterplay but Myers needs to work harder to hit EW3 and catch everyone. This would make the Evil Incarnate achievement actually possible since survivors tend to just hop in a locker when you have Tombstone even if everyone else is dead and they're literally doing out of spite to stop you from getting your achievement.


    Optionally, due to the "no more counterplay" for the full Judith's Tombstone, the old "Myers is stalking and about to Tier Up" warning could come back only if you have tombstone equipped, meaning survivors know from the beginning you have it. So they can expect Myers to spend a lot of time stalking everyone and he'll likely try to close into point blank melee range for the tombstone kill.

    When you do terribly with it, people will rattle off about how bad it is and how good they are.

    When you do good with it, they cry about feeding Myers, that their teammates were potatos, and you don't deserve 4k and will DC like babies or wait out the EGC in a locker.

    In other words, it brings out the best of the community.

    Had one yesterday that got it fairly quickly, I guess people were feeding him. As soon as I saw he was killing people straight out I made myself stand out so he would chase me and when I felt like I was gonna die I hoped in a locker and made him grab me then just killed myself on hook in hopes my teammate would get hatch which they did:) I know it’s horrible but I was trying my hardest to cuck him out of getting that achievement if that’s what he was even going for, I don’t know. I personally think it’s a boring way to play but hey to each their own. And if and when I run into it again I am going to do the same ######### i did in the last game.

    Something else I almost forgot, had a perma tier 3 Myers and the 2 console gamers that were on the team kept healing after getting unhooked. I smacked my forehead like 3 times watching that crap. They just didn’t get what was going on LMAO. Red ranks btw. They would get downed and hooked then right after getting unhooked hit the corner and self care or medkit. After not seeing that icon disappear after about a min or so should have been a dead giveaway or the fact that after each time they would heal they would get 1 shotted again and still heal again after the unhook. 🤦🏼‍♂️ And they wonder why we talk #########.

    Its fun to mess around with but its not going to win you games. Its a serious "win more" addon if i do well with it i probably would have done well regardless because the survivor team wasnt very good. Against a decent team its just a detriment.

    Eh, screw the Entity. That's the ######### that still hasn't allowed Corrupt to appear in any of my post Level 50 bloodwebs yet for Myers. 😂

    Tbis,its fair.i main michael and forever freddy but i always try to run tombstone and infinite tier3 with michael just to kill,idc bout people escaping but usaully im doing great if theirs 3 gens left.(i also use perks that give locations off like spies from shadows,surveilance is great with 3gens left or if you kicked 1 then add the perk where you get faster when obsession escapes,in case you run across the obsession because they gonna lose yoyr sight even if a min,sometines i use tinkrer as 4th)the observatory can make the game end quick if they stayup top lol

    cuck him out of getting that achievement is messed up if he was going for it that achievement is hard and never going to change whatever nothing anyone can do about it.

    perma tier 3 Myers is even harder to pull off.

    I remember getting that achievement(PS4) and I was doing horribly and msg the survs and they agreed to help me if I let them farm so we ended up having a basement party

    Its more than fair since he is so slow along with the large terror radius.

    If you play smart when you know its in the game and don't get caught in the open the chances of being moried are slim.

    Personally I find him annoying because yesterday I was doing 2-man SWF and encountered a Tombstone Myers who didn't get one hook and lost chases easily, but managed to get a 4k because of the tombstone shard, and was also infinite tier three or had something that made it last longer

    The very few times I faced it I wasn't even mad to get killed on the spot. Just a bit sad that someone fed Myers so much.

    Daddy Myers cares not about pleasing the entity. Michael kills for himself.

    Why tho? Full-Stone and Tuft is arguably less powerful than base-kit Myers due to the high stalk requirement (3 and a half survivors drained), movement speed penalty, lack of pressure from running around staring at people, etc. It's Tombstone Piece and faster stalking addon that need to be looked at.


    You going out of your way to screw him out of an achievement (This ESPECIALLY applies to people who wait in a locker when they're literally the last survivor left and they're dead either way or people who DC mid-mori so it doesn't count) paints you as a bit of an ass. Why do you give a #########? It's like killers facecamping obsessions to ensure they can't get the "Escape as obsession" rift challenge done.


    Try running those two addons yourself if you have Myers. It's strong on paper but survivors have almost all say on Myers actually tombstoning them.


    Frankly I think your post is a perfect argument to why Judith's should allow locker and ground moris (With some tweaks so Myers has to work a little harder). I've been screwed out of this achievement about 9 times now (Only counting locker-goblins and DC's) and frankly I find that "I only care the killer doesn't get his achievement" attitude off-putting.
