Check these Myers suggestions out:

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/53518/tips-for-the-shape

I feel like so many players are struggling to find a reason to keep playing right now, so know you're not alone!

I know you recently questioned whether to enter red ranks or not, do you think rank change has created more headaches? If so, let red ranks go. I know I personally am comfy in green ranks- I don't sweat but still feel productive. If ppl want to say I'm a ######### player, fine, but mental health is infinitely more important than rank in a game.

I dunno what system you play on (I'm PS4), but you could play some KYF matches to practice some of the things bothering you during Killer matches. If you're on console I'm happy to volunteer!

All that said, taking a break can be healthy. It's not a weakness, it's not throwing in the towel- it's just stepping aside to gain some perspective. What you find is for you alone, and no one can judge your feelings.

Sending you struggle snuggles through the ether, friend!

Idk, he posted that 9 mths ago an all of what he does an others do suggest in that discussion is still effective.

Myers really hasn’t changed very much, if at all, in that time, tbh, an SWFs are still pretty much the same SWFs they were then, minus the hefty tool box blows they used to deal out to killers, too.

Maybs @Kilmeran can give you some special tips to help you out, as he is well versed in DBD, especially all things Myers related. Never hurts to message him an ask. If he gets a chance, I’m sure he will give you some good pointers.

You just need to get better. If you lose 3 gens that fast then you aren't playing effectively. Myers is still viable without corrupt, just a little weaker.

A. Myers can be efficient without corrupt. I played yesterday on Mother's Dwelling as Myers and I got 4k at red ranks without any slow down perks. Use his power. For using his power you better have more detection perks in your build. Discordance helps to find multiple survivors on gens. Monitor and Abuse helps to be sneaky. Whispers help to not waste time searching in areas without survivors.

B. Community is fine. You just met some stupid people. Just don't be toxic yourself. If you will be toxic some other person will see this and start thinking the whole community is toxic. Like it happen to you.

С. This should be your own decision.

It's play to win. All of this perks are unlockable or free. So if you don't want to spend time playing game why are you even playing?

No one have 24 hours to dedicate this game. I play 1-2 hours a day at best. When I bored I may try different killer or change side. And I often make a big break from game for days and weeks until new challenges or chapter released.

If this is too much time for you maybe it is not your type of game.

A) Take a break or make a smurf to drop rank. They're free on console, and it's working well for me.

B) It's probably to do with the asymmetrical nature of the game and modern entitled attitudes to everything. And I mean EVERYTHING.

C) Not at all. Just take a small break, focus on Archives and try a new killer.

@ToxicMyers

So let me try to give you some advise, starting with the basics you likely already know, but maybe there's some small info you did not know yet.

EW1 Myers is really slow, only 105% of the survivors running speed, he does not have any noticeable lunge and does not gain bloodlust. So chasing survivors pretty much useless, since they can loop you around pretty much everything without you having a chance to get a hit. On the pro-side, he is undetectable, so no terror radius and no red stain. You have to use that to sneak near survivors and stalk them without being seen, obviously. Maybe you can get a grab from time to time, but the attempt might work against you, either bc you get dedicated and only hit instead of grabbing, or bc it delays you getting out of tier one. Rarely you can use your missing red stain to mind game a survivor at los blockers to get a hit. But don't try to chase / down them after the hit, unlike they screw up badly and you get the down fast. Getting out of EW1 is always the priority.

EW2 Myers has normal speed (115%), normal lunge, gains bloodlust and has a small TR of 16 meters. In this mode he's pretty much a M1 killer, so can be looped easily. But, since you want to tier up to EW3, you can stalk looping survivors pretty easily given there are not so many los blockers. It might be best to respect pallets, since you will get a good amount of stalk if they throw the pallet before you. You want to 99 your stalk meter and do not waste a EW3 activation on an injured one. So either chase the injured down or switch targets.

EW3 Myers had normal speed, extended lunge, vaults considerably faster and of course has instadown. His TR is massive (48 meter is guess). He is still loopable, but at least windows are not safe for the survivors in this tier. You always should try to pop tier 3 on an out-positioned survivor, so you can down them quickly, hook them and move on, trying to get someone else to down. You can try to slug as well, but I think that works best with infectious, which you currently don't have. Only if you see multiple survivors when you pop it you should try to slug and get the other(s), but do not overcommit, you want the downed hanging. Sometimes you might not get anything out of your EW3, bc the survivor has to much defenses against you. In this case, at least try to destroy as many as possible. Do not really bother to loop around pallets (only if they are weak) and just break them.

About stalking:

The stalking of Mikey has some limitations compared to GF, which can be really aggravating. You can only stalk one person at a time, so even when multiple survivor do a gen and are highlighted when you stalk, you are not filling your meter faster. Furthermore, Myers stalk gets weaker with distance, keep that in mind when stalking faraway survivors. It might be better to search for targets closer to you.

In EW1 you have got to be sneaky to stalk them without them noticing. To achieve this, try to go to gens from unexpected angles. Sometimes you can stalk through small cracks, e.g. of the shack, use this whenever possible since the survs won't expect that. Elevated points are also really good for stalking, esp. on corn fields. If you have clear view to stalk and they are unaware, do not move to much, that could give you away, if they spotted you they will run away, don't chase after them until you are nearly at EW2. Esp at the start, chances are there are multiple survs on the first gen, so when one runs away, there may be others nearby. If the first gen pops and you are not nearby, try to predict where they will run to to stalk them there. You should expect to lose a gen for getting to tier 2. If you are losing more, it's gonna be rough match you'll likely lose. But sometimes you just cannot help it, with being unlucky and / or facing advanced survivors who know how to avoid your stalk. Myers is just to slow from time to time.

In EW2, your aim is of course to get the meter filled so you can pop EW3 on an out-positioned survivor, but don't hesitate to much to use it. Sometimes it's better to just go EW3 and apply pressure this way than waiting for the perfect opportunity. You have got at least three EW3 activations, use them. Do not get obsessed with the stalking either, sometimes its better to hit a nearby survivor instead of stalking him to max your meter. Remember that you cannot get all 12 downs with your power alone, on average you will maybe down one person with the power, the rest has to follow with "conventional" killer play. Try to leave some stalk in the survivors for you to pop an EW3 on them later. If there's a survivor already fully stalked, and they know it, they can be a pain in the a$$. You can also keep your nearly built up EW3 do pop it on an unhooker. Ideally you should activate EW3 the first time when no more than two gens were done. You can be fine with more, since Myers can snowball hard in EW3, but it gets more difficult, of course.

In EW3, stalking is disabled since some patch ago. It could be used for tracking, but that somehow does not work anymore.

Addons:

Maybe the most powerful ones are Myers memorial & Memorial flower, which increase your stalking rate. You cannot go wrong with using them, esp. since you will et out of EW1 way faster. Dead rabbit works great for sneaking up on survivors even in EW2, since it reduces your TR to mere 8 meters, together with Monitor and Abuse (from Doc, you might not have it) the TR is nearly non-existant. The Hair bow is really nice since it increases your EW3 duration from 60 secs to 90 secs, which only "slightly" more stalk required. The aura addons may be useful, but not as strong at the other already mentionend.

Try to keep away from the purple / red addons for now. Mirror games can be really fun, but you need dedicated builds and a map for making them work. Infinite EW3 is really strong, but you needs too much time, which you currently don't have. Tombstone builds require certain perks as well, and they are usually not worth it BP / pip-wise. Also skip on Stalking speed addons, they are useless.

Perks:

Thats the tough one, right? Since Myers is slow at the start, detection perks would likely be the most needed. Stalling / gen control perks would come next. Something helping in chases is also nice, but not so important like the other. One hit perks on Myers are a meme, don't use that. I understood you only have the general perks and Myers perks, plus Ruin from the Shrine, but no other teachables (trapper, billy)? That would leave us with the following:

Detection: Bitter murmur, Spies, Whispers

Stalling & Gen control: Sloppy, Dying Light, Ruin

Chase: Unrelenting, STBFL, PWYF

Questionable perks: Deerstalker, Thrill, Iron Grasp

Useless / Not helpful: Distressing, NoeD, Insidious, Monstrous Shrine

For detection, I think Whispers is the best pick. You want to find them when they are still busy doing gens so you can stalk them, Bitter murmurs effect is to late. Spies can be really strong on some maps, but totally useless on others. It is just not consistent enough. If you happen to have tinkerer from Billy, that would probably be better than whispers.

For stalling, Sloppy should be a no brainer. You do only have M1 attacks, so every hit will apply it. Ruin would be good as well, although you would have to shy them away from the gens (Tinkerer would help there), which can be difficult since you do not have extra mobility. And it's a hex, so it can be cleansed and the perk is lost. Undying would be really nice, but you need Blight for it. Dying light likely takes to much time to grant a noticable effect. You have to perform well enough to get enough out of the perk, but thats exactly the issue right now, right.

For chase, Unrelenting is forgetable and PWYF is too unrelieable. STBFL is generally a good perk for M1 killers, although Myers does not normally hit people left and right, so gaining stacks is rather slow. Enduring from billy or Brutal Strength from trapper could be useful here, although you should try to avoid stuns to get more stalks, so brutal strength might be the better pick of these two.

Deerstalker could help you when you want to slug in EW3, but you would need Infectious Fright to better decide when to slug and when not. Thrill maybe if you play Ruin, but I'm not sure if that really plays out.

So all in all, I would say the following four perks are the best picks, given these constraints:

Whispers for detection, Ruin for Gen regression, Sloppy for slight stalling and STBFL for quicker chases. If you have tinkerer, you could use it in place of whispers.

If you have enough shards for getting a new killer, I would advise to fetch Plague, so you can get Corrupt and Infectious Fright. Both perks are good picks for Mikey. So maybe Whispers/Tinkerer, Corrupt, Sloppy and Infectious.

That concludes my great wall of text. Hope it helps a little bit.
