Is The Shape, Outdated?

To me personally, I feel like Mikey is the only killer who hasn’t been looked at in a while. Although I am afraid that if the Devs touch his power they will ruin him. He is a pretty balanced killer next to Demo but he seems outdated. Would be nice to see him get a buff, so more People would use him.

    Yeah, Oni and plague just outclass him right now. He needs some huge buffs.

    I think hes fine, not too strong but not too weak, his early game settles the entire game but he has huge snowball potential, beside you can have some where funny builds to get your P3 very quickly

    And his psychological impact is huge on survivors when he gets to p3

    I think he could do with regenerating evil to siphon off survivors. Or infinite evil at a slower rate at "empty" survivors. Something. Its rather jarring he can run out of power.

    Well an addon pass would probably kill his mirrors and tombstones.

    Hot but outdated. His addons needs rework

    Love the Character, but unfortunately the way his basekit is structured it is too much of a hindrance at the beginning to justify the trade-off power bursts. His addons should be revisited too.

    His add-ons are so bad it's amazing.

    5 hair add-ons that accomplish the same thing (increase duration of T3, but increases the time it takes to reach T3).

    5 add-ons that give stalking aura reading.

    Only 3 of the 10 are even worth using - Hair Bow, Fragrant Tuft of Hair, Scratched Mirror.

    That's 7/20 add-ons that could just be deleted.

    Michael Myers is the first, the progenitor of all the horror slasher to come. It is sad that he is middle to low middle Tier. That being said, he isn't terrible, he just has too many bad match up maps. He suffers particularly bad against Survivor Friends and Gen rush because he needs time to build up, unless he is doing a niche build where he can't build up. I still play him. I will continue to play him until I feel I am proficient, i.e. I can get below Rank-10. Gotta give MM my respect you know. But sure, I'd love for him to get a slight rework to give him more adaptability to broader Maps and Survivor Friends.

    hot, but could use some add on changes

    Hes not terrible, but his addons should be reworked and he could use some buffs.

    Yes, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

    He's not terrible by any means, he's just outclassed in his 'slow build up, hard snowball' playstyle by both Plague and Oni, and outclassed in his 'spooky jumpscare' playstyle by Ghostface.

    But he doesn't need to be the best. He's still strong and still fun.

    While his add-ons aren't that hot, they're better than most Killers and I don't think an add-on pass would end up buffing them.

    His addons should be nerfed. Are the most OP in the game.


    But great balance and psichological pressure.

    First of all, option 4 = It's all so tiresome.

    With that out of the way, I would like to see Michael have a couple of positive tweaks. Would definitely like to see him have the ability to use Tombstone add-ons to kill survivors straight out of lockers.

    I saw a commentary on off. forum about "how buff the Spape" like a year ago...

    The idea is to add ability thats allow to swap from Tier 3 to Tier 1 when you reached enough of stalking points & active Tier 3. It's similar with old Treatment Doc's ability when you're press M2 to go in this mode.

    I think it will be perfect for Myers.

    And yeah... He definitely needs addons rework... At least some tweaks.

    I can imagine how it looks awesome for him.... He's sneaking to you and then starting slowly up his hand with a knife like in the movie

    Outdated, yes. But I wouldn't say he needs much to become more up to date. His add-ons could be touched up a little (though we all know how BHVR likes "touching up add-ons") and he could maybe use having Evil points on Survivors regenerate slowly so he never runs out, but I don't think he needs too much work.

    You forgot about the memorial flowers and J. Myers Memorial. Dead Rabbit is also worthwhile if you don't want to use Monitor

    Considering I win most of my matches, and got my butt handed to me on a silver platter by Myers the last 3 times i've had him as a killer, he's fine. Probs one of my favorite killers to go up against though.

    He's really strongs with certain add-ons....... but very weak without them imo.

    He is hot though.

    He's a bit reliant on stalking speed addons, imo, but he is ok. Great snowball potential especially with Infectious Fright.

    Personally, I hate going against any Michael, mainly because everyone I've played against just camps and abuses the stalk and one hit.

    Myers is fine, I main him as my killer of choice. The only problem Myers has is massive open maps. Unless it's a smaller map he has almost no map pressure until tier 3 although good Myers players can work around it within reason.
