Should Myers get his multi-stalk back?

Some of you might remember that Myers used to be able to stalk all survivors in his FOV simultaneously, which would increase the speed at which his power gauge would fill. This made him much more dangerous when survivors grouped up in trials and it was a strategy amongst survivors to keep dispersing when he started stalking them.

It lead to a more engaging and diverse playstyle in those days and I'm not the only player who was sad to see it removed as it was deemed too strong back then.

However, considering Myers isn't the strongest killer around anymore and could use some help, I think this would be an easy buff to him, to give him an edge against grouped up survivors.

I'm curious about what you guys think.

    People always say Myers isn't a top killer but every time i see him there are two survivors down within 45 seconds and then they either quit or hide the rest of the game. I know that's not all Myers fault but i really don't want to see him any stronger myself. Having said that if you are using Myers as a main and find that he is in need of a boost then i support your vote of yes. Have a good rift everyone.

    Perhaps a fractional additional slow with each additional survivor stalked, or stalking all survivors within a portion of his FOV?

    He needs buffs. His early is baaaaaaaad.

    You should be able to go from tier 1 to tier 2, if you want, on the click of a button.

    He is going to need more than that. It would be cool if he could use tier one throughout the game.

    I'd be all for giving him his ability to stalk multiple survivors back, I remember when it was removed - but it was a very different game back then, the game has moved on a lot, I don't think it would be a big issue for him to have it.

    That was pretty much my main reasoning for the suggestion.

    I do play killer and even i as a lvl 1 Myers do very, very well. Played him over 100 times in xbox for different rituals but Myers will never be my main killer. I prefer the Pig, Huntress and "Chuckles" and these are the only killers i plan to prestige. Like i said though i would fully support giving Myers whatever people want. I was simply giving my opinion.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Lunar New Year. May 2021 bring us an end to this nightmare pandemic.

    He shouldn't have to use an addon for that, and the addon isn't even that good against people who know what they are doing since he has 105% movement speed during this. His base kit even with addons like the faster-stalking speed is too weak because of his early game, and his tier three is still not enough of a threat.

    What I mean is for him to be able to go back to tier one to really sneak around. Tier one is more of a hindrance than a utility.

    I almost never play Myers, and I actually wasn't aware that he couldn't do this. What happens if you try?

    He's countered at high ranks just due to the way survivors loop and use pallets... He's the most balanced killer in the game if you play the game the way it was originally intended, which is, don't be seen. His tier 1 is basically useless because most survivors can hear him breathing from a mile away and are already too fast for you at tier 1 for you to do anything.

    It takes him a good 20-30 seconds just to start becoming effective in a chase and that's enough to get 2 or 3 gens half way done against a competent team.... He's no match for SWF teams at anything above rank 4, providing the person looping him doesn't get mind ######### in to the ground.

    He needs a buff for his EW gains... I can't even play him without using add-ons that increase the rate at which he gains stalk, it's unbearable.

    If multiple people are not paying attention, then that should be an advantage to the killer.

    I didn't know this was ever a thing, but I think it would be a nice buff for a killer who is rarely regarded as top tier.

    When stalking multiple people at once he could have an efficiency debuff like when there's multiple survivors on a gen.
