Possible Michael Myers rework / buff

We all know that Michael isn't that fun to go against, nor is he really that fun to play as due to how weak he currently is. So I have a few possible changes he could receive to make him a bit more fun for both sides!

Evil Within

  • Stalk speed is no longer distance based, it now takes 12 seconds of stalking to tier up. (from 6 - 60 seconds to tier up based on distance)
  • When fully stalked, you now have to press the secondary power button to tier up. (similarly to The Oni, instead of just reaching the tier up threshold)
  • You now deplete Survivors' Stalk Points way sooner, it takes 8 seconds of stalking before a single Survivor is fully drained, however, their Stalk Points replenish after 60 seconds of you not stalking them. (from never being replenished, but they took longer to deplete, this way I want Michael to stalk multiple Survivors instead of just one and use his evil within on others without them having much chance to react)
  • If a Survivor is at the current moment fully out of stalk points and at the death hook, Myers can mori them when they're downed.

Evil Within I

  • Increased movement speed to 4.4 m/s. (from 4.2 m/s)
  • Increased lunge duration to 0.4 seconds. (from 0.2 seconds, default lunge duration is 0.5 for reference)

Evil Within II

  • Increased Terror Radius to 20 metres. (was 16 metres)
  • You now break pallets and kick generators 10% faster.
  • The duration of pallet stuns is reduced by 15%.

Evil Within III

  • Increased Terror Radius to 40 metres. (was 32 metres)
  • Increased movement speed to 4.8 m/s. (was 4.6 m/s)
  • You now break pallets and kick generators 20% faster.
  • The duration of pallet stuns is reduced by 30%.
  • When running out of duration, go back to Evil Within I. (was Evil Within II)

What do you think? The numbers might be a bit undertuned or overtuned in some places so let me know! (I have also not reworked the add-ons yet, if people like this rework I'll do them too!)

    Evil within III will certainly be scarier and more myers like . I like evil within 2 rn with 16 meter radius but being able to return to tier 1 sounds lnteresting. There’s an old creepy sfx that myers doesn’t use anymore I hope they use that somewhere with the upcoming changes.

    It will be okay if stalk point from survivors would recover after time, unless hes run out of power pretty fast if after tier 3 he being send back to tier 1
