Nerf Michael Myers and The Doctor
Both of these Killers are op, you literally don't need brain power to play with them. The Doctor just spams M2 and Myer's absurd small terror radius with a power like Evil Within just makes them unfair. Especially on small maps. Please nerf them.

I guess then you suggest that the doctor can't use his power and michael can't get EW3.
Seems balanced to me.

so the killer can be useless and make it easier on survivor players? F that man. Tired of you survivor mains that never touch killer calling daddy devs for nerfs. Just play the game. Neither of these killers are anywhere near OP if you just practice survivor lol. Asking for nerfs shows what your rank is lol especially doctor? are you kidding lol!!!!

if you have trouble playing against these killers, my advise is to play them yourself and copy the survivors behavior towards you as the killer.

I'm happy that Myers is still played at yellow ranks, enjoy it until you can. You won't see many Myers at higher ranks.

I love this thread.
EZ troll.

Michael literally needs to slowdown to stalk you, which can result in the survivor getting far away.
Doc is a simple counter, you don’t wanna try and stun him so pre-throw the pallet

While I agree that being on the receiving end of a 99'd Tier 3 from Myers isn't the most fun thing in the world, he absolutely does not need a nerf. Same with Doctor. You should have a look at not only some survivor players but killer players too. Looking at a few videos about basic survivor tips can really help, but I have a few tips against these guys because they are 2 of my favourite killers to play against.
Against Myers you need to be more alert than other killers, and be ready to run the moment you hear the TR. A bunch of Myers players run either Dead rabbit (12m TR in tier 2) or monitor (8m). If you're working on a gen you need an fast way to get distance on him the moment you hear his music. Once you hear it you have maybe 2 seconds or so to get somewhere safe, then you're just looping an M1 killer at that point if he finds you. Also if you know the Myers just ended his tier 3 and he's chasing you around a small loop, eg junk loops in the middle of blood lodge, don't stay there and try and use as much LoS blockers as possible. If you can do this and force him to M1 you that's much better than him getting tier 3 off you for free at those small loops.
People have already said all that needs to be said for Doctor, but it also depends on how good the Doctor is. A lot of bad Doctors will continue to shock you at small loops over and over the moment you get to the pallet, which is your cue to try and find somewhere else to go that's safer. And when you do this try and go as opposite to him as you can to maximise your distance. You can run bad Doctors for days if they don't know when to use their shock because they lose so much distance on you and also don't gain bloodlust. Not sure if these tips help but when I think about them they help me so...

Please, stop.

I think the one change we can agree on:
give survivors a FU gesture for games with Mike, because lbr: it's what's going through all our heads when we turn around and he...just...stands...there...

Myers OP? Damn, I need to switch my main...
1 -
Myers is probably the "most" balanced killer in the game with many way to play him too.
why?
4 -
Myers literally can't do ######### until he finds a survivor and stalks them to Tier 2. And even at Tier 3 it's only sixty seconds of instant down. Instant downs with the control of an M1 and a bit of extra lunge but still.
Doctor is annoying but there are killers way more powerful than him, bub. Use lockers to avoid his static blast and you will be a-okay.

“You don’t need brain power” says the rank 20 killer who’s never stepped foot into the other role before. LMAO goodbye.

Right, have you tried playing them? It takes forever to get survs into madness and you move so slow as Tier 1 myers the grabs are barely even worth it.

I play both Survivor and Killer and they both seem fine to me. (Obviously I can't say the same for EVERYONE, because we all have our different viewpoints/experiences with different killers) but, Pallets disappear when you get too close to them, so thankfully it's not like Freddy's dream pallets where that could actually kind of mess you up. Michael is fine as long as you're running spin chill or premonition. Especially with spin chill. If it stays lit up then that's you're queue to leave and try your best to ditch the guy without trying to feed him too much evil within. (Which may be easier said than done at times)
Plus some doctors will be focused on repeatedly getting survivors to tier 3 madness then go for downing them which should by time for getting gens done depending on the situation.
In all honesty asking for a nerf for them would probably just cause some complaints or throw some things off for some people who might actually main them like hillbilly for example. Or probably because it was fine the way it is now. But it does make me curious on what their nerf would be if the devs actually did that.
Sorry if this isn't something you wanted to hear dude. I don't want to sound rude or anything like that.

Bruh both of them are just fine as is, sure Doctor is annoying, but you can play around him. Myers is honestly easy to play around, just avoid being in his sight and loop him like any other killer with no terror radius. Myers is actually pretty hard to play (Doctor too from what I’ve seen), so yeah they take some skill (anything in this game pretty much does).

Uh oh sounds like someone can't compete with Myers or the Doc 🤷♀️
0 -
I bet you posted this right after you lost to them and your first response is to call for nerfs like ordering a pizza.
2 -
Assuming that this isn't just bait, what exactly is your issue with them?
If you want tips or help facing them, I'm sure no few of us would be glad to be help.

this joke thread?

I haven’t seen a “Nerf Myers” thread in ages

You've literally picked two killers that specifically require a certain amount of skill to play well. I main doctor and I don't think he's unfair at all, he requires knowing map layout, shock range/timing, and slowdown perks since he's already good with detection. On the other hand I had my first two games as Micheal yesterday and got hella bullied. Now I give props to any Micheal main stuffs pretty difficult. His base movement speed is slightly less and even more so when stalking. His lunge is also reduced which messed me up multiple times, even in tier III evil within (which btw I've activated on accident multiple times) is still pretty easy to loop and avoid.

Oni is a better Myers and Freddy is a better Doctor. I suppose you want those two nerfed as well?

This is some of the more... obvious bait.

If you honestly think that Myers is overpowered than you must be on crack.

I got a tip for doctor, play calm spirit. I always use it and it's a great counter if you try staying hidden against doc, clown, spies from the shadows, infectious fright and some killer add ons.

If by balanced you mean garbage and unable to beat competent survivors then sure.
1 -
Hag is the next one to be attacked for being OP xD

I'll admit Doctor needs an add-ons nerf as his static blast is soley so strong.
0 -
just learn how to play, and avoid them. if u are starting at the game and dont know loop and all that things u need to learn, the game dont will change for you.
0 -
Oh my boi you have a lot to learn

Myers is weak should be buffed. Doctor is ok but annoying to face.
0 -
Technically that's how the game is balanced. Killers are balanced when they dominate bad survivors and lose to good ones.

No it's not lol, the devs are going away from that route for a while now luckily.

Please tell me this isn't a joke. If you think myers and doc are op you need help.

While I don't like Myers + M&A, I don't think he needs a nerf.
Doctor on the other hand needs a rework. He can stop you from looping AND find where you are with his base power. So he negates both looping and stealth. He should only have one or the other as a base kit. To add to that, he remains obnoxious AF.

This is some low quality bait
0 -
No. They're both fine.

If that's what they meant then that's what they would have said. I have no issues getting 4k's with him in red ranks regularly. Do I have to put more effort in than I would playing the likes of Freddy and Spirit? Of course. It makes my victories more satisfying.
0 -
You can 4k with Burgerking myers against potatoes, that's not my point.
0 -
I know what your point is. You're claiming that the only way you can win with Myers is against bad players. I am calling BS on that. I know potato survivors when I see them. They stand out like a sore thumb. I don't constantly 4k on potatoes with him.

If you're saying nerf Michael, I take it you never played him, and have played against one good Michael. Michael does NOT need a nerf

He's just standing there... menacingly!!!!!

Myers is literally the little brother of Ghost Face. Saying he is overpowered is stupid.
0 -
ghost face at least has those.... flippy-floppy.... bands on his standard outfit. Myers is a stabby TREE you don't see regardless which map you are on. something that tall should NOT blend in like that
