9.2 PTB Shape Rework Thoughts

I'll admit, I don't like these changes, but at least some of that has to be me getting my butt handed to me, and some more of it has to do with "It's new, kill with FIRE!" mentallity we all have (me included). But, I want to know if anyone else thinks it sucks, and why or why not?

For me:

What I want is quality of life improvements. Your changing the game to discourage slugging, cool. Make it so Myers doesn't loose tier 3 (evil Incarnate) while carrying survivors so he's not punished for not slugging. That's an add on now, but in the current game state, he shouldn't be punished for playing as the Devs are pushing him to. For the love of GOD! Add a Tier up button so I don't fat finger a tier up anymore, and yeah, they kind of added that. But they made it so Myers can't toggle between the other 2 tiers once he's filled up the stalk meter.

That's what Killers wanted, not the Dash attack. Also, I hate to be that guy whose like, "Oh, more dashslop?" But why not add a new trick if your going to go this far with it anyhow.

Here:

In Evil Incarnate, Myers can right Click, and after a 1.5 seconds delay, he'll slow down to stalking speed for 1 second, and if a survivor drops a pallet on him during that second, the pallet will break instantly. To prevent Predrops from becoming an issue, when in Tier 3, Myers will get a 10% pallet kick boost for every pallet kicked, up to a maximum 30%. This boost will reset if he's pallet stunned.

This idea isn't perfect, and it steals a part of Vecna's kit, but at least it's 1 killers idea being ripped off, and not 12. Also, the mind games are fundamentally different.

    Most of the changes are good, but Slaughtering Strike is so awful it completley invalidates all the good changes.

    They should just remove Slaughtering Strike and leave it as the exposed lunge. Yes, I know there's an addon that turns it back to the exposed lunge, but it should just be baseline. You shouldnt need an addon just for the Killer to not feel awful to play, especially not a high-rarity addon.
