Do You Think With The Map Offering Change...
So Scratch Mirror Myers is effectively dead. I mean, it was already a meme playstyle but since you cannot send people to indoor maps, youll probably never see a Scratch Mirror Myers after the change.
But do you think maybe Vanity Mirror will finally have its time to shine?
You get faster movement speed and a full lunge, and Vanity Mirror works better on more maps overall. The downside being that Dead Rabbit and Monitor and Abuse are required, but even still, at least the game is actually bearable on a lot of maps. Personally, I was always more of a fan of Vanity Mirror but I think there is more of a merit to bring it.

Yeah, it's a shame the playstyle is mostly dead now. I wouldn't mind if the add-on guaranteed a random indoor map or something like that. Just so Jumpscare Myers is still a thing. It wouldn't be that annoying, as you almost never see that build now anyways.

You just need to be creative with your build.

Nah, not really. IMO Scratched Mirror is not even good on most Indoor Maps. You dont want The Game or Hawkins with Scratched Mirror, even Midwich is pretty difficult.
And, more important - I am happy when the Build is gone. The community is just too sweaty for it nowadays, most people using Scratched Mirror are just using it to camp with Wallhacks. It is a Meme-Build, but most players want to 4K with it, for them it is not about getting some Jumpscares or a Gengrab here and there, it is about getting a 4K. And this really ruined the build IMO.

As a Mikey main I am sad. They need to alter the add on, vanity mirror too, because they are going to be pointless after the map offering change.

This is one of my favorite "bad but fun" builds. The most fun game I've ever had was spoon Myers on lery's jump scaring the survivors. Even got the Feng to chase me through the map at one point.
Sad to see it go, but I get it.

You did incredible work in the first film. You deserved a sequel.

Scratch Mirror can be buffed to compensate. Remove the 4.2 m/s

I primarily use vanity mirror with dead rabbit and monitor and abuse. It's a fine build for outdoor maps. Scratched is obviously better with indoor maps but it can still be fun and effective outdoors.

Honestly this is a huge Nerf to all stealth killers. It is nice preventing some of the most toxic teams from ending up at garden of joy or Erie every other map. You win some you lose some

I'm happy about the change, mostly because as a Myers main I often tried to use an indoor map offering but when I did the survivors would DC in loading screen because they know what's coming. I was basically forced to play on their map every time or there would be no match at all as a couple hours went by with people constantly DC in loading screen. Now at least there is a chance the rng will select an indoor map, which is more chance I had previously. And yes I even tried sac ward but same kept happening, DC in loading screen because they couldn't get the map they wanted.

No more scratched miror Myers or skillchecked Doctor. With every year this game become less fun for every role

Tbf this build works like 1 time if the survivor doesnt have goldfish memory so at most they should get a 1k by camping cuz after that they shouldnt get downs. And yeah if you wanna get 4ks you shouldnt run a build that is countered by object permanence.

I mean, this is what I said? People should not expect to win with such a build, but the Community nowadays is way too sweaty for it and expects to get a 4K with a Meme-Build like Jumpscare Myers and since you cannot achieve this with regular gameplay (since he cannot chase), they use the Wallhacks and lack of Terror Radius to camp.

mirror meyers is never fun to play against anyways.
Map offerings I feel belong in like custom games. You get to decide what to fine tune in there.1 -
Good riddance, scratch mirror myers has always been a boring and brainless playstyle
2 -
Or switch to a different playstyle to get results, one that actually takes skill
-4 -
Yeah good riddance, scratch mirror myers is one of the most snoozefest build nothing but constant hit and run/camp/tunnel no thank you. Now nerf tomb stone piece next if you please.

Scratched Mirror Myers is not bad when you don't play like a sweat.
Playing as him or against someone who is genuinely going in for jumpscares. That is the kind of match I love4 -
Wall hacking and stealth are the least technical styles in this game, so I have no idea what the fun is about.
2 -
No I fully agree, maybe the comment is just repetitive, its just that idk why people think jumpscare myers is even good.
1 -
Because it isnt a good build. It's a fun build but not a good build.
(Idk why people think I hate Scratch Mirror. I love Scratch Mirror, it isnt strong nor is it meta, but it's fun, and I think DBD needs more things like that.)

Vanity Mirror has been slept on ever since they removed its movement speed penalty. The trick is to bring Dead Rabbit and Monitor and Abuse for the tiny terror radius and it's not bad at all. You don't need a map offering for it to work.
Scratched Mirror on the other hand, yeah it's dead once map offerings are nerfed and it should probably be changed.

It is a shame, almost 50% of the times I play Myers is using that meme build. Most of the games result in four survivors escaping, but I don't care.
At least we can use the offering and cross fingers for the 20% chance. I have a good stock of scratched mirrors and indoor maps offerings in Myers.

Why everyone hating it? That scrach mirror myers? For me i love to play against them, since it basically jumpscare all over again, i once had paranonia when i heard he breathe, but i didn't know where he is, and i been some times to time play as mirror too, even i don't had any hook/kill i still enjoying jumpscare people

We could just buff scratched mirror up to 110% movespeed like Tier 1 myers is by default now once the map offering update goes live, as well as making it so the Tier 1 has a regular lunge distance. Then the addon would be playable on more maps than just indoor maps, at least to an extent. This one niche playstyle on Myers is a terrible reason to keep busted map offerings in the game the way they are now, not to imply that this is what you're saying of course.
I just see others claim that they want map offerings to stay purely to play scratched mirror myers when in reality the overwhelming majority of players using map offerings are already bringing the strongest stuff and just add it to the mix to get an even more powerful setup.
I'm happy about the map offering change, although the offerings will admittedly be pretty terrible after they're nerfed. Fair enough considering how powerful the effect is. Maybe we'll start seeing some other offering show up frequently, like self unhook or hook spacing offerings.

Yeah the map change does basically kill Scratch Mirror Myers and let's be real it wasn't really "strong" to begin with even on those maps, it was more a fun meme that could work. It's completely useless on normal maps.

I'm sorry but you have to take the whole package, also nowadays Mirror Myers is mostly used with the purpose of camping with wallhacks, long gone are the days when people enjoyed jumpscare and catching survivors by surprise, now simply Myers will injure you and then return to the hook using the aura build. There's nothing fun about this.
1 -
Exactly this nothing but free injure, free down and proxy camp for hook trades. Only niche counter to this cringe style was shadow step.
