Michael Myers has he currently stands

Yep it's that time again to talk about Michael Myers.

Basically has a title says I would like to know public opinion on Michael Myers aka the shape. Honestly I quite enjoy playing against him and playing has him however, there's one glaring issue with Michael. That I suppose makes a lot of sense depending on how you look at it.

 For him to be powerful he has to slow the game down.

Seriously oh, maybe it's just me but if a Michael isn't prepared he's the only going to get destroyed because of his lack of Aura perks or the lack of a ruin. Maybe it's just me but it feels kind of sad that certain colors like Michael or Freddy need to slow the game down to build some momentum. However when Michael gets his momentum going it's very hard for him to stop compared to Freddy.

So I suppose what I'm really asking is and everybody's personal opinion what would you do to change Michael even if it's just a minor one?

 No Cosmetics don't count.

Edit.
As it currently seems people are either saying is add-ons are to overpowered... or he's fine where he is. To be honest at the reading all of this. I suppose my point Still Remains and I'm very happy that my discussions didn't burst into flames.

    I love Michael. Both playing as him and against him. I'm a Michael main as killer.

    I think most killers need to slow the game down. Its hardly exclusive to Myers. Its very easy to get gen rushed with an organized team. Its why most killers use hex ruin, in spite of it often being taken out early in the game. They need it to slow the game down, if even just for a little bit.

    Idk how, but i'd try to make him more enjoyable to play as.
    Yeah, unpopular opinion: I don't like how he plays, staring at people isn't my thing.
    Just like how i don't like Nurse cause of HUEEE HAHHHH HEYAHOYOOOOO!

    That feeling when you get denied tier 2 for ages...... I hate SWF so much

    I'd buff him to have no cap on his stalk, 20% faster EW gain, let him stalk mapwide which means if you're in his sight, you're screwed, give him cornvision for stalking and make him EW1 110% MS. Mike now has a base as powerful as Billy.

    He definitely isn't op. He can be looped for 5 gens like most killers and doesn't have a good way of ending a chase. Mike is just a little better then clown if anything .

    He's got some of the best add ons in the game. I think the only change I would want on him is just cosmetics.

    He’s a mid tier Killer. People tend to overrate him because of his insta-down, low terror radius, and add-ons. He can still be looped for days, you can look around for him, and his strongest add-ons have some pretty big drawbacks (Tombstone Piece only gives you one kill before you have to get back to tier 3, Judith’s slows you down and requires a lot of evil, anything that increases EW3 duration also increases the evil required to reach it, and Judith’s + Perma EW3 requires so much evil that a half-decent Survivor team can starve you and finish all or most of the gens by the time he reaches EW3).

    Because survivors are stupid and let him feed upon them. Even his mori addons have built-in counter, the mighty lockers. Almost any addons that killers have can be countered in some way if survivors just think which they really don't want to.
    Better nerf everything just to be safe it's fun and not too difficult for them to play against.

    You mean the add-ons that force him to stalk really slow and makes his movement speed super slow too? Yes lets nerf his high risk high reward add-ons lol. If you can't beat a super slow Myers that needs time to stalk then it's either you're trash at hiding or you want him to win. I've beaten so many Myers that use Tombstone & Unlimited T3 because all you have to do is gen rush before he actually gets to level 3.

    But dude. Your so enigmatic in that and just say "Devs Know it" isn't a valid thing. What if they actually dont? You can say the "result" but not the cause of result
