Scratched Mirror Myers will need a rework/change

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Scratched Mirror Myers is unplayable on outdoor maps, this is why you always use a map offering to send yourself indoors.

Why is it unplayable? Because :
- You move at 4.2m/s (105%) and cannot gain bloodlust (myers cannot gain bloodlust in tier 1 at all)
- Significantly reduced lunge

Both of these things mean that when survivors have line of sight and can accurately track you, you can be looped for a very long time, they can basically hold you hostage by not completing the last generator.

With the announced change to map offerings i think scratched mirror will become the absolute worst-addon to use in dbd history, so much so that players should not be baited into such a horrible experience.

To be clear the map offering change is good, this is basically the only case where map offerings felt like a necessity, so this add-on just needs to be changed.

I think 1 change that would fix the issue is to just make it so you have some way to get out of tier 1. Maybe when you are stalking you can press active ability button to "Enable stalking" or something like that. Anything that would not screw you if you happen to load in an outdoor map.

    I think the only things that could make this viable is either a complete rework or giving the addon a unique effect of guaranteeing an indoor map.

    I am sad to see that this add-on was not accounted for on the PTB. This add-on will be hell now.

    To be fair, the new abandon options do mean that if survivors were to hold you hostage effectively you'd be able to use that option eventually but it'll still result in very frustrating matches.

    I would like to change Tier I lunge to be bigger, so at least he has that.
