Hear me out for the memes....Star Struck Myers?
Okay, so you know how when Trickster came out, everyone started doing all of these Doctor with Starstruck and double calm addons and Distressing and what not to make everyone exposed with a big fat terror radius? Well I've never heard of anyone trying to make their terror radius as SMALL as possible, for a sort of jump scare exposed sort of thing. I was thinking of something like Myers with the Vanity Mirror and Dead Rabbit, and the perks would be Starstruck, Mad Grit, Monitor and Abuse, and Play With Your Food. Honestly, I hesitate to run PWYF without Nemesis, but it wouldn't be much of a meme without Mad Grit. The whole idea is to have a really small terror radius while you're picking up a survivor, and then when a super duper hero survivor walks into your pathetically small terror radius to inevitably body block, they get exposed and you start womping at that them with a knife like the deranged psychopath you are. Is it a good and worthwhile strategy? No. Will it get you wins? Also no. Will it be fun? Probably not, But everyone is such a size queen with Star Struck, and I wanna show that it can be cool and or memey to have a small terror radius too! Please, for the memes, help me scare people. I wanna make this build better, more memey, more terrifying. I want Michael to be a star.

I'd love to try this but then I'd have to buy Trickster so I'll have to pass I'm afraid. Nice idea though, lol.

Well, I mean, you could always hope for Star Struck to appear in the shrine about....8 months from now...probably

Large TR with Starstruck is completely pointless if you can't cover the distance to get the hit anyway.
So TR increasing perks or Doctor builds are completely irrelevant bar a couple high mobility killers and even then, highly unlikely.

My personal view is that Star Struck and Borrowed Time BOTH should be tied to a range, not Terror Radius. Right now, as Myers using the Cracked Mirror (or in Tier-1) I screw over Borrowed Time. With no Terror Radius, it won't activate even if I'm standing right there staring at them unhook. By the same token, Star Struck won't work with no Terror Radius either. Thus, you would have to try your combination with the Vanity Mirror.
I have also played around with this idea, taking:
Star Struck, Agitation, Monitor & Abuse, and Corrupt Intervention
Add-on(s): Dead Rabbit and whatever else you like that doesn't need Tier-3 to function properly.
*Corrupt Intervention ensures you have time to find the Survivors and get to Tier-2 where you now have your full speed and short range wall hack. Proceed to normal search and destroy. Dead Rabbit +Monitor & Abuse ensures you have zero Terror Radius when not in a chase and can sneak up pretty easily. Down someone and if you already can see someone, pick them up and go after them for an Insta-Down. If you don't see someone right away, Stalk with your Wall Hack to find the one hiding nearby first, then pick up, and rush over to start that chase and get the Insta-Down. Agitation means that you will be moving fast as hell. While it is true that Mad Grit means less recovery time and slightly more security in holding on to that Survivor for longer, it only really pays off when you get a whole cluster of Survivors together. That does not happen enough to justify (with Myers) the downside of losing Generators at the start of the match while you try to find them.

True, but at the same time, I would venture to say that expose survivors would probably want to play more stealthy for the duration of their exposure, lest they get instadowned, especially against a killer like the Doctor who can static blast and locate survivors more easily. And with Iron Maiden as well, there'd be no safe place to hide. He could find and force a chase with survivors, meaning 2 survivors at any given time aren't doing gens. I'm not saying it's a good set, but I can see the merit on a map like Hawkins or Midwich.

"True, but at the same time, I would venture to say that expose survivors would probably want to play more stealthy for the duration of their exposure, lest they get instadowned, especially against a killer like the Doctor who can static blast and locate survivors more easily."
This is only happening against complete potato survivors. Against bad survivors everything is viable, even zero perks, zero addons.
"And with Iron Maiden as well, there'd be no safe place to hide."
Iron Maiden is complete trash and shouldn't be running it in the first place. Even if you are running it them not using lockers is irrelevant as good survivors couldn't care less about using a locker.
"He could find and force a chase with survivors, meaning 2 survivors at any given time aren't doing gens. I'm not saying it's a good set, but I can see the merit on a map like Hawkins or Midwich."
These scenarios you're creating are realistically never happening unless you are playing against literal grey ranks that just bought the game and have no idea what's going on.

I'm not really trying to start a debate here about Starstruck Doctor, y'know? This whole post is about Myers...with a small terror radius...it's a meme build, which you completely ignored...I'm not sure why you want to pick apart my opinion on a very niche and not super useable Doctor build that some people want to run for memes, but I mean, if that's how you feel about the Doctor with Starstruck and Iron Maiden, more power to ya!

I think you took my response as more argumentative and personal than it was. I was just responding to the points you made was all.
I never said you couldn't run it for meme's. It's totally fine for the meme's. All I was referencing was its actual power and viability in a playing to win sense.

No worries! I wasn't taking it personally, but I did think you were trying to be a bit argumentative. It's definitely hard to tell sometimes since I've seen so many people start arguments on here over the tiniest things, and it's harder to tell than in person, so I tried to shut down any argument before it started just in case. But yeah, I totally agree that the whole Doc thing isn't super viable, but that's why it's fun. Same as running Smolface xD

If we are talking memes I want the King from Burger King as a costume for Myers. And Colonel Sanders for Blight.

Yeah, my build uses the Vanity Mirror and not the Scratched Mirror. I HAVE thought about using Agitation, but the unfortunate effect of Agitation is that your terror radius gets 12 meters bigger. And if you trigger chase while carrying, (which should happen if a survivor is trying to body block), it's extended by another 8 meters because of Monitor and Abuse. and well, I think that's too big of a radius to be a jump scare. Survivors will notice before it's too late, and they'll abandon the block. Now, I get that it also raises your speed, making escapes less likely, but I'm not sure that the extra speed will be enough for a down if the survivor is paying attention, because tier 2 Myers with Vanity Mirror is even slower than normal tier 2 Myers.

I played a lot of Myers over the past few months (love scratched mirror!) And tried vanity. Its really hard to use, even on good indoor maps.
That small of a TR would require them to be literally on top of you to activate at that point they will see you and run away, which isn't an issue with your decreased tier 2 speed. Also, If they have Kindred, then it doesn't even matter as they will see you camping and waiting.
Its a hard strategy on top of an already not great meme build for vanity. You may as well run Insidous Basement Bubba as that will catch more people off guard.
Starstruck can have a place on certain killers. High mobility is great and even Doctor has the niche of being able to find them quickly with Static Blast. I don't think its viable on mirorr builds Myers due to the issues with his TR. It could work for regular Myers, but then he has EW3 to insta-down without the need of a perk to do so.

Okay, but, real talk.
Vanity Mirror + Starstruck? Broke.
Scratched Mirror + Starstruck? Woke.

They just run straight line asap in my expirience. Only m1 killers who can catch up fast can get value out of this perk. This works on clown pretty well too

Well, the point of the build is to meme on body blockers and really nothing else. It’s more of a “Oh, he’s going to a hook, let me body block him with breakout (or something)” and then they go to take a hit, and then get exposed instead, and go down before they can leave. So ideally, you want said body blocker close enough where if they do get exposed by what basically amounts to a 4m terror radius, it’s too late to run, and it’s an instadown for them. The whole point is the jump scare factor. I’m not going for viability per say. And also, there’s no camping involved. Star Struck has a cool down anyways, so camping actually makes it impossible to achieve the intended effect.
