Myers
Anyone have any idea why Myers hasn't been touched or reworked yet? Maybe when he first came out they tweaked things but he's been the same forever. He's near the bottom every time someone does a killer tier list which is really disgusting considering how big of a horror icon he is and the amount of players he brought to this game.
Do the devs seriously think him starting at 105% movement speed is ok with how fast the game has become? His stealth in tier 1 means close to nothing against good survivors. Can we maybe buff his tier 1 speed to 110% or make it so he immediately goes into tier 2 if he hits someone in tier 1. Why no love for The Shape??? Almost everyone agrees his power is outdated. Maybe give a built in brutal strength when he's in tier 3.
And then tone down his insta kill add ons to compensate, come on devs let's go!! I feel even some survivor mains would agree Myers needs to be looked at. All these anti loop killers now with Zombies, chain hunts, and other passive things to help them slow the game down and Myers has nothing like this to help.

He recently had an add-on pass. I'm too lazy and distracted to look up what they were, but they did buff something.

Those were mostly for his playstyle altering addons and not vanilla Myers iirc

All they did was buff his Vanity Mirror add on and make one of his stalk add ons common. That's barely anything. No one really uses the Vanity Mirror.

They're probably afraid to touch base kit Myers. Survivors will riot if they over tune him and killers would riot if they nerf him shortly afterwards.

I'm not 100% sure but it may have something to do with him being part of a licensed DLC. Maybe changes have to be approved or just supervised by the owners or something like that.

I'm in a weird position with Myers. On the one hand, his base strength is godawful in the current state of the game and he really needs help. On the other, I don't like most of the killer reworks we've had so far and I'm afraid of what they'll do, especially when you look at Freddy. Myers isn't strong, but he's very faithful to the feel of the character. Freddy was the same and look at him now - generic, generic, generic. And what Myers does do right are create a variety of viable, effective, different alternative playstyles with his addons. That uncertainty is so crucial to the feeling of versing Myers in DBD and I don't want to lose that, ever. But if you look at his addons, he has a lot of useless stuff, one blatantly overpowered one, and two highly controversial iris I want to keep but are way stronger than the more recent philosophy of cautious, situational addons allows for. I don't have faith he'd get a true addon pass and actually keep the important stuff.

He needs to be buffed big time but he's not the weakest in the game. Myers is not as easy to bully as some other killers because he can insta down survivors. Instandowning is huge for EGC, if a Myers is camping someone at end game with tier 2 99% survivors can't just come in to do there BT body blocking escape strategy that they do with ease against other killers.
Clown, Pig, Legion, Trapper are worse IMO.

I second this, Myers late game has one of the best Snowballs in the game I would say. Early game though obviously doesn’t come close to a lot of killers.

I've seen plenty of Vanity mirror Myers. I use it myself, too. Its really good now without the speed reduction. Its like scratched mirror on steroids.
They also buffed regular tombstone so there is no speed penalty when in tier 2. So its easier to get to tier 3 without needing to get your PWYF stacks first.

It's solid with Dead Rabbit and M&A but I don't like that he can't get his instadowns. So I usually bring Haunted Grounds and NOED with Vanity Mirror, yes NOED lol. I want a buffed base kit for Myers not add ons.

I think his Tier 2 is fine personally.
His Tier 3 could be a bit stronger, not to strong but give him a slight boost to breaking and stun recovery.
Tier 1 should be 4.4 with a normal lunge.

Myers needs a buff but keep his Tombstone piece and Iri add-ons as they are. Myers always gives off a feeling of dread because you never know if they're using an instakill add-on or not. That feeling of dread is what I want when I play survivor.

This is exactly what I want. Get rid of the ridiculous slow speed in tier 1 and the baby lunge so you can actually play in tier 1 if you want. His tier 1 is awful. Tier 3 yes speed to breaking things, all for it. Its not a massive buff either. The tier 1 buff would be to help the character keep up more.

Vanilla Myers 🤣

It should be like Nemesis where Tier 1 isn't the best but it's playable.
Tier 1 Myers is unplayable. And as a 4.4 normal Killer who is undetectable, it could actually be fun to hit'n run as Myers.
The only thing which could make that change a bit to strong is scratched mirror on indoor maps, on outdoor maps however SM could actually be viable.

Don't fall into the trap of assuming that because a change hasn't come through yet, the devs think that it's fine and doesn't need to be changed. My understanding is licensed characters are slower to change in general because they have to run things by the license holders, too, so I think that's why it's taken a while?
But yeah, he does need some changes. I'd say give him a normal lunge in Tier 1, make stalking at range more viable, and a few buffs to Tier 3-- my personal favourites being brief Killer Instinct on everyone past 50% stalk progress when it pops, and the ability to just walk straight through dropped pallets and breakable walls at a speed penalty.

Love these ideas. Something I forgot to mention is when I play Myers I always feel forced into using Corrupt Intervention because of how bad his tier 1 start is. Very annoying I want to use different stuff not the same every time.
