Myers rework idea: Ability to switch between tiers

Myers is one of my favorite killers and feels really outdated / old so I wanted to present a potential change to him.

- Only needing to reach each Tier ( 2, 3 ) once and being able to switch between them ( 1, 2, 3 ) once reached.

  • Tier 3 last for a set amount of time ( let's just say 30 sec ) after which Tier 3 goes on cooldown ( 30 sec ).
    Tier 3 can be ended early if needed ( still 30 sec cooldown ).
  • Switching between Tiers has a set transition time depending on from what Tier you switched from and to. The most obvious playstyle would be to sneak up on survivors in Tier 1 ( Undetectable ) and ambush them by switching into Tier 3.
    To balance this: During the transition from Tier 1 to 3 ( 4 sec ) his terror radius gradually increases during the switch ( Or a sound cue that announces the switch ), so Survivors have a cue to expect an ambush.
    Of course this gradual terror radius increase during a Tier transition can be used on the other Tier switches as well (getting smaller when switching to lower Tiers).
  • Transition times between Tiers once reached:
    Tier 1 to Tier 2 ( 2 sec )
    Tier 2 to Tier 3 ( 2 sec )
    Tier 1 to Tier 3 ( 4 sec )
    Tier 3 to Tier 2 ( 1 sec / instant )
    Tier 3 to Tier 1 ( 1 sec / instant )
  • Initially reaching Tier 2 or Tier 3 for the first time instantly activates the respective Tiers to let Survivors know that Myers reached his peak.

I think this unlocks a more stalk and ambush playstyle that fits Myers more than 99ing Tier 3.

- This part isn't something new but I thought I should mention it.

  • The Mori add-ons don't feel right and should be removed.
  • With these changes a few add-ons also need to be changed accordingly.

Looking forward to ideas or feedback on this!
