Myers Is The Perfect Killer
I feel that Myers is the perfect killer not because he is the strongest but because he is the most fun. He is fun to play as and play against And his power isn't overpowered or weak. His addons are really fun to mess around with and make his power stronger instead of his weaknesses not as bad (Looking at you Deathslinger and Legion.). His addons can mix so many different perks that you can make some real cool and special builds. Like Scratched mirror Myers, Infinite tombstone, and many others.
I'm not saying you have to agree with me or anything but I really don't think Myers needs changed.
Edit: I meant to post this in general but I guess this fits here

I´m a very dedicated fan of the Halloween series and a Myers "main". After years of playing, he starts to feel lackluster because other than being a good M1 player there is not much depth to using him well.
It also bothers me that he´s so close to the bottom of any legit tier list. In my opinion he doesn´t need huge buffs but some slight tweaks to give him more skillbased mechanics and to lessen his weaknesses a bit.
They also could address his weird addons (blonde hair, hair brush, lock of hair, reflective fragment, vanity mirror, stalking movementspeed addons) which are all insanely bad. On the other hand, Tombstone piece is a tiny but too strong.

Imo Myers is one of those killers that absolutely needs changed and I'm sure a lot a people can agree with me on that, since his power is severely outdatted. Out of all "tier up killers" he falls short by a LONG shot. Having the ability to 1 shot survivors isn't as much of a big deal when survivors realize that its a Myers and they wont bother healing anyway. He also has the weakest early game out of any killer since he's the only killer who starts off with debuffs. Some parts of his power can be quite frustrating as well for both sides, for survivors having tier 3 popped on you after seeing him for the first time is not a good feeling, and then for his side having to waste time getting tiered up only to get a down or 2. He 100% needs changes.

The only thing I want changed with Myers is that his power shouldn't "run out". No other killer has that restriction on them where they just can't use their powers anymore so why the heck does he?

It is perfect for the simple fact that its radius of terror is 16 meters, with monitoring and dead rabbit it is undetectable at Tier 2 it is the most stealthy and perfect killer, it gives you some seedy scares because you don't see it coming

I agree with you on alot of that.

I enjoy playing Myers, there's a few fun builds that you can run on him. He's never going to be Nurses strength but I have no issue with the current level of his power. The only thing I'd like back really, is the ability to stalk multiple survivors again (got removed shortly after his release), it would help to be able to tier up quickly again.

I love running Monitor and dead rabbit + Infectious fright.

I do agree that he wont be on nurses strength like I kind of said in the beginning but I do wish they would bring back multi stalk but i wouldnt know if its needed because i didnt play back then.

Myers isn't weak, but he's not strong either. Oni is just Michael but better in every way. He moves 115% at the start, while Michael moves 105%. Oni has only two phases, while Michael needs to tier up twice before he gets an insta-down.
And Blood Rage is just... Better than Tier 3. Fantastic mobility, an instadown, longer (if harder to control) lunge. The only time Myers outshines Oni is in short loops where he can just do a simple lunge. But then again, Oni can break pallets with his kanobo during blood rage.
If Myers didn't have tier 1, he'd definitely be far better. At the end of the day, he's just an M1 killer with no map mobility. Not bad (his add-ons are probably some of the strongest in the game) but at this point even Ghostface offers a more reliable stalking mechanic. Myers can only use his power so many times.
Oni and Ghosty have unlimited use. He could use some minor changes to make him stronger.

He does feel kinda weak these days to me, maybe just bc there's a lot of stronger killers now?
I wouldn't change him that much at base, maybe make him 110 in tier 1 and bring back the immunity to spine chill/premonition. It would make his gameplay more interesting if tier 1 was something you might choose to stay in longer depending on the situation instead of something you want to get out of ASAP

Agreed

Of course, look at Ghostface, when he stalks the stalking is not spent at all like Michael is, that is the tedious thing because you obsess too much with a survivor and with Ghostface you can stalk as many infinities of times.

I play a lot of Myers, still. Even though I now dabble in the other Killers, I still come back to the OG more often than not. Do I think he is still viable? Yes. Do I think he could benefit from a slight tweak? Sure. I'm not so sure Myers is the problem so much as the Killers who are now better versions of him probably need a tweak back down. I know, blasphemy for a Killer main to say, but I said it. Ghostface and Oni do have things on me, but I'm not so certain I need a turbo charge to them, or they need a tweak back down to me; just saying.
However, playing Devil's Advocate, I do think there are a couple of changes that would be solid. Some are to his basic kit, but most of them apply to his Add-On(s). While Myers does have some of the best ones in the game, he also has a majority of them that are never used and utterly useless. Consider all those fragments of glass, why would you ever use them? Statistically you will have a Scratched Mirror or Vanity Mirror on hand if you really want to go the wall hack route. Why would you ever take subpar add-on(s) for this feature. Anyway, let me suggest the following:
- Myers never runs out of Stalk potential. In other words, the Survivors don't run dry, or their reserve build back up after being depleted. I think coding would be easier to just have them never run out, but I can see the logic in making sure one bad Survivor doesn't get him to Tier-3. That is why I suggest that after a Survivor has been drained down, they will start gaining it back up, allowing Myers supply, although not always on demand.
- Allow him to gain more Stalk if there are more Survivors in his range and view. That is pretty straightforward.
In regards to his Add-Ons:
- Vanity Mirror: Myers starts at Tier-2, and still can never get to Tier-3. Wall hack exactly as it is now.
- Tombstone Piece: Adjust this so that it unlocks his first Mori at (3) Hooks, and then another Mori for each Hook after that. It no longer has the requirement for being in any particular Tier. These Mori can be used on anyone whether they have been hooked or not, and still happen on the run exactly as they do now.
- Judith's Tombstone: It now unlocks the Mori against anyone that has been hooked at least once, but never allows Myers to leave Tier-1. *In short, make this one like the now gone Mori types, but keeps him slow.
- Glass Fragments: Replace them with something else or give them different powers. Given that Myers is a M1 Killer who relies heavily on stealth, I suggest having Add-On(s) which weaken and/or counter Perks like Spine Chill. Likewise, you could alter some to help lower or hide the sound of his clomping feet or breathing.

I do agree with you on everything except on how judiths tombstone works but i really love your idea on the tombstone piece!

Also taking advantage of his power in Tier-3 with abilities like Tinkerer and Trail of Torment to become Undetectable in Tier 3 is without a doubt the best thing that Myers has.

He's not.
