Is the Michael Myers rework a nerf?
Why does he feel weaker than the old version or in PTB?
What do you think about new Myers?

All I can say is that it's not just you. Everything about Myers seemed like a buff in terms of numbers. 20% this and that, when in reality it wasn't a lot at all. Thats on top of the nerfs he actually did receive to certain parts of his kit when nothing should have been nerfed at all. Especially his terror radius in persuer mode. Heck, even if they didn't nerf anything he still wouldn't be all that good still. His slaughtering strike is just too slow and survivors don't have to actually respect it because its easy to pallet stun him out of it.
Even if you brought bamboozle and/dissolution to deal with tiles better, he's just too slow to keep up map pressure. On average he just can't finish chases near fast enough, and it doesn't matter how fast he breaks pallets. Myers is struggling more than ever.

The whole rework is terrible in my opinion.
The primary reason he feels weaker though is because you can no longer ambush people with a 99'ed Tier-3. Now it automatically forces you into "Pursuer Mode" or your stalk will decay. Don't forget all the new sound effects and the slow/ugly looking new tier up animation.

From what I've seen, he doesn't look good. I don't even want to play him anymore, and I used to enjoy him a lot in spite of him being one of the weaker killers.
Yesterday a Myers kept trying to land his dash attack on me. He missed four times in a row on a mediocre looper like myself just running around basic rocks with no pallets. I then ran out of the exit gates. It feels depressing in hindsight.

He is definetly worse and he feels weaker than on PTB, because he was nerfed before getting live.

Look at scott junds new video where he breaks these buffs, I knew he had faster vaulting even in tier two back then but I newer knew it was 20% basekit. No sll he got tier one can be switch between with tier two, tier one is 105% speed instead 110% ( he was 105 before his buffs which were like mayve year ago or less) and he has full lunge instead of shorter one he had in tier 1. Tier two only got basekit brutal strenght and 20% shorter stun time (not even half of endurending wont help much but its nice) and 20% increased lunge ( back then tier 3 had this instead of strike and it was 25%, its nice nut nothing crazy), he lost the 16 meters terror radius and got the 24 meters but now monitor and abuse has been nerfed hard on lower terror radius killers and his rabbit addon I think dont have reduce tr too so its solid nerf. Tier 3 is same only change is slaughtering strike which is his msin weakness and issue with his stealth being worse by increased terror radius, his terror radius went from 32 to 40 meters but that number have killers with good mobility and lethality as billy,blight,ghoul,krasue head form and wesker (most of them are the strongest killers in the game with very strong kits and weskest is a-tier wesker ,so why mayers has it too?) and last new thing for tombstone is ability to grab and mori or mori on the ground survivors that are dead on hook which isnt nothing crazy just nice feature but considering old tombstone was way stronger its more as compansation for it. So there you have it the main and biggest nerf was lost of 99 tier two which was key element in getting fast downs or mories with tombstone but now its impossible. Another last thing is stalking getting buffs but at 50% it gives all survivors sound q and if you dont have full stalk but its above those 50% then it starts to regress back to 50% after 20 seconds of no stalking, last nerf is stalking range from 40 meters to 32 so over all his stealth which is one of his key elements got butchered and nerfed for valid reason, his tier 3 lethality is worse in my opinion and experience and now he has more sound ques than before he had (every time he got tier 2,3 and lost tier 3 and got it again etc.).
Mayers after all these years deserves better.

Nobody asked for this rework. People were complaining about tombstone, which they already addressed last time, but I didn't hear anything about wanting Myers to "dash attack" or turn him into something that is completely opposite from his character. Just change him back. And bring back vanity mirror.

Old T3 was basically a suped-up M1. So it was better than a charge and dash.
