Is there really a need for the stalk cap on myers?
maybe it's there to stop you from farming afk players? probably that's the reason why but what it ends up doing is making weird situations where I sacrificed 1 survivor and the other 3 are fully stalked and I can't get my tier 3

Very outdated mechanic imo, should just have an X amount of coldown after you hit the cap, so you can stalk again later if needed.

@Dwight_Fairfield what is your opinion on this my friend?

I think it should be removed or if you really want it there... Then how about some slow over the time recharging when someone is not being stalked for a while. So it would prevent stalking forever just one Survivor but you would never run out of juice.

I think that how much "suck" is left on a Survivor should regenerate over time. Like maybe 1 second of stalk every 10 seconds.

Well the cap kind of needs to exist, because of addons like Tuft the Fur and Tomestone Piece.
Right now Judith's + Tuft is balanced around the fact you need to fully stalk 3 survivors and Tomestone Piece at least requires you to stalk 2 different survivors to pop T3 to get the instant kill.

It's a very old and honestly outdated mechanic. That said, as others have pointed out:
Myers is just a mess. His basekit is terribly outdated, but he has a handful of addons that are among the most busted in the game and infinite stalk juice would make them even worse.

Wouldnt mind seeing his busted add ons changed so they can give him more stalk. Would also like to be able to bounce back to tier 1 if I want.

Something like this is the only solution really.
The limit needs to exist as others have said due to how OP some of his addons would be without some type of limit.
Also in solo groups 1 afk person would equal an instadown on the next person Myers found. So there needs to be some type of rework, but he definitely shouldn't have the limit the way it is now.

Needs to have a cooldown. I've played some games as Myers where I reached cap on all survivors and couldn't pop tier 3 at all. It shouldn't be permanent like it is right now.

I like and hate it at the same time.
For whatever reason when I verse myers my team feeds him an unreasonable amount, I'm almost hardly ever stalked.
When playing him though I wish I could stalk whoever as much as I like, it's rare I get someone not aware so it nice to know I'm not capped trying to stalk high skilled players lol

I agree with the consensus here that it is outdated and needs an upgrade. I mean there's no limit on how much Bubba and Billy can chainsaw survivors. No cap on how much blood Oni can collect. Mikey should be extended the same courtesy as the other insta down killers.
Ideally they should put a cooldown on each survivor after he's stalked them X amount of times. Not too dissimilar to how it is now in how Mikey players have to be tactical with how how much they stalk each survivor. I don't drain them til I know they're death hook. I always like to save a bit on each one for when I have my tier 3 99'ed so I can pop it on them.

Considering I can fully drain one guy, then find another for a bit of juice, then find a guy I haven't seen before and kill them instantly, leaving them with like 2k points in game....there has to be some restriction and changes.

isn't that more of a reason to nerf tombstone piece than to add a cap to base myers?

It's an outdated mechanic, hopefully he gets some polish soonish because he really needs it

as others have mentioned, the cap should be adjusted and stalking should get some sort of cooldown.

No, Myers is super outdated.

Aye the cap should be removed. His power is one of the weakest in the game by default. Rework his ridiculous addon, buff his base kit.

Unpopular opinion: do you need more than seven T3s in a game? That's how many Myers gets with no add-ons, and chances are you're only using them on uninjured players right before a down. It's not that crazy of a limitation.
I don't think any competent player needs more than seven, but I'm told that I'm an elitist #########, so take from that what you will.

There shouldn't be a limit for the stalk on obsession.

I like what you did there 😉

It's clearly a relic from a time when the game was still more hide n seek than gen simulator.
As such, I do not think having a Stalk cap is necessary in this era. Maybe have every Survivors Evil reset when Michael de-tiers from III to II.

So Tombstone addon requires you to atleast stalk someone's evil by 50%?
The whole "randoms fed that Myers and now i get the pipe" is quite a buzzkill.

There is no need at all. I mean Ghost Face just simply doesn't have one. It's just there because he is outdated. I'm sure if he was updated now he wouldn't have it.
