Scratched Myers after map offering nerf

Currently, scratched Myers is a viable build if the map is indoor (RPD, Midwich, Lerys, Hawkins, Gideon), but outside of these maps he is useless and will probably not even get one hook.

This is currently not a problem as the killer can bring a map offering and hope there’s no ward, however once the map offering is nerfed, scratched Myers becomes obselete.

Solution: Increase the base speed of scratched mirror Myers to 110% so he is viable on all maps and isn’t map offering dependant.

    1 issue you have is perma undetectable 4.4m/s Myers with 32m aura reading on demand would be hella obnoxious on a number of maps.

    At the risk of annoying the Scratched Mirror Michaels... perhaps if the Scratched Mirror were to remove his Undetectable in t1 as compensation, that might be a good compromise. Fun fact, t1 Myers has a TR of 6m, but it's not used due to Undetectable...

    By removing Undetectable, even if you take M&A for a 0 TR, this would mean you could still see his red light around walls and give you a chance to see him coming, and aura reveal perks/items would actually be a meaningful counter to Scratched Mirror.

    The problem you then get of course is this doesn't differ much from Vanity Mirror... but 4.4m/s at base with 32m aura read and Undetectable sounds absolutely awful in any map with limited LoS.

    This is the problem with this game, one thing is nerfed and indirectly affects others, let's take distortion for example. See now it works vs scratch Myers which is quite funny and helps to slightly counter scratch mirror Myers as Old distortion once all the tokens was gone the perk is useless now its actually j8ce vs him while useless on all the other killers like huntress who love using 5+ wall hacks.

    Wraith/Artist/Nurse lightborn removed buffed them but hag got nerfed indirectly cause you would need a flashlight to burn her traps and now you can wipe them easily.

    What am saying is people need to be careful what they ask for as it may indirectly affect something good or bad but I hate to say it in the end am glad scratch mirror is dead soon because everyone who runs it plays in the most obnoxious way nothing but hit and run, proxy camp for nothing but boring hook trade, free gen grabs. Turning my camera while trying to do a gen like 500 times out of being paranoid of being grabbed or hit is not my cup of tea and its not all the time I feel to wear head phones.

    Similarly, Trapper will have a hard time when unable to map offer onto Léry's Memorial Institute, Midwich, or Hawkins.
    The way Trapper works as is, he is at a significant disadvantage when he can't place traps that cannot just be walked around, which is often the case on any other map with wide environments.

    Bumping this as it’s now a severe issue. The scratched mirror add on is now useless and needs a rework.

    I wonder if this will be reviewed as a part of the Shape’s gameplay updates
