Undo Myers changes
You turned Myers from one of the most interesting Killers into a dash killer. He was unqiue with a cool set of playstyles and in the top 5 of best add on variety. Now he is a Dash Killer. Like why? He was fine.

It's just an extended lunge. He already gets that in Tier 3 (just not as far), and a lot of Myers players run Coup anyway to achieve something similar to this new ability.

In the past Survivors were passively exposed. Now you need to use the dash to down.

That's literally just a change in inputs.
The charge time for the lunge will be variable, so you can still get quick instadowns without having to go through the whole charge process.

Old Myers will literally still exist…

Idk about you, but I usually play Myers with 2 add ons. Especially considering I need to invest into iris to maintain that playstyle. And they also said they are reworking his add-on, so bye bye to Tombstone and Mirror probably.

I really enjoy The Shape as he is, and there's a lot of people on reddit who aren't a fan of these changes:

Reducing the variety in killer playstyles would be a shame

They cant remove his mirror addons completely they are still a thing linked to stalking, it will probably just be a conjoined addons that is a balance between scratched and vanity, ideally leaning towards vanity mirror here than scratched due to speed limitations.
4.2 is incredibly brutally slow and it wont give him justice.
4.4 is managable but i would prefer him staying 4.6ms with noticable debuffs to his evil incarnate ability and dash where when he fills it up it gets wasted faster because he sacrifices more to get better stalking mode than pursuer.
Thats where im heading rn

They are adressed the worst part about Myers and he was severely outdated

They kinda just made him a tall chucky. However myers now is going to destroy in loops because of the activation to go into stealth and not

For real. This game needs more variety to keep it interesting. Instead BHVR seems keen to make every killer and every match play out the same way. Killers like Myers are needed in this game to keep it fun.
Also Judith's Tombstone Myers was not a problem, only Tombstone Piece. If a player couldn't counter Tombstone Myers and complains about it, then they are part of the problem for why this game is leaning towards only 1 viable playstyle. Tombstone has easy counterplay and all BHVR really needed to do was give survivors a way to know he had Tombstone in play before they get moried.
Making Myers a dash killer is just so uninspired and boring for what was a very fun and unique killer to play and play against.

Do they really have no better idea than dash killers?
Is it because of complaint, or lack of creativity? I didn't expected myers to be yet another dash killer, feels strange tbh

I'm torn on this. On one hand, I really feel like we've had more than enough dash killers lately.
On the other hand…he really was not fine the way he was and he couldn't really keep up with the current state of the game. And the one thing that did let him do that (Tombstone) was unhealthy and shouldn't exist. It does seem like he will still have some elements of his old kit as well, including vault speed and stealth abilities, and stalking. Sure, Slaughtering Strike is a dash ability, and admittedly I'm a bit bored of that killer design at this point (part of why I'm glad Relentless didn't win in the Grimoire), but that's not his entire kit, so I'm interested to see how it plays out on the PTB overall.
Also, no, his addon variety was not good at all, in fact it was terrible. There were so many addons that did the exact same thing so there were basically only around half of his addons with actually unique effects, mostly everything else was just copies of other addons with number changes. There were 5 addons that affected the duration of tier 3, that is way too many addons for a similar effect. Realistically, the only addons that were used the majority of games were addons that affected stalk rate, tier 3 duration, Tombstones, or the occasional Vanity Mirror/Dead Rabbit. Scratched Mirror died because of the map offering changes, and pretty much everything else was bad.
It does also sound like they are keeping old Myers an option through the reworked Fragrant Tuft of Hair, so there's that I guess. But anyways at this point I'm kinda undecided on if I like this new design or not, I really need to see it in action.
