What’s your opinion on tombstone piece?

I don’t see it discussed here much, but I know some people think it should be toned down. I guess it sucks if you haven’t been stalked and you got moried but I rarely see it in my matches. So thoughts about this add on?

    Annoying, but it's only 2 kills at max you can get. So not that bad honestly.

    Cheesy.... as hell. Me and my friend @MegMain98 have started to fear going against Myers now because, legit, 90% of the time they have Tombstone. I guess we must've pissed the cult of Myers players off one day and now every time they see us they say "welp, it's Tombstone time"! xD

    But who doesn’t love to get moried by Myers?? Haha yeah I understand it can be frustrating.

    Could use a condition like only survivor who was hooked at least once can be moried.

    If you know TS, jump into lockers during chase if he's close enough to choke you lol It can make things fun bc it forces The Shape to hook or slug but some will go to a corner and let you wiggle in the hopes they mori before you reach the locker. Had it happen once where he was after me all game and everyone did gens and escaped while I died on hook.

    Now that I get how the open-hand thing works, not sure I am okay with it, as the counterplay of lockers isn't reliable if Myers can 99 Tier 2 and then fire off Tier 3 when they think they are close enough to hit the insta-kill.

    One of the more busted addons in the game, killing someone early is the strongest pressure you can get, and it allows you to skip a full 25% of your objective as killer when you catch someone off guard. It'd be like if a survivor could bring an old, old BNP. Just zap, a huge chunk of the objective gone with little effort.

    The point I was trying to make was it can be annoying when you haven’t seen the killer yet and all of a sudden boom you’re dead.

  • Cornpopers_Evan
    Cornpopers_Evan Member Posts: 2,428

    I'm just so fearful these days because they just get as close as they possibly can so they can pop tier 3 and grab me easily and when I see them getting that close I'm just sitting there like "oh yeah, I know what's about to happen". lol

    Of course, I think it would be less humorous if you weren't annoyed.

    It's an easy quick kill at the start of the game and a 3v1 is much easier to win. It's an addon that should be changed.

    Fun iridescent add-on. Sucks from a balance point, but it's an iridescent add-on so it's fine.

  • lauraa
    lauraa Member Posts: 3,195

    Judith's is more fun and that's the one I love to use.

    The piece should be reworked into something new

    Strongest add on in the game. Nothing else comes close. No other add on allows you to just remove a survivor from the game, no questions asked. Don't need to hook them or even down them. Just get close. Nothing comes close to that. People simply don't complain because Myers is very weak and every Myers doesn't run around with it. I expect it to get hit with the nerf hammer in the future, though it absolutely shouldn't until Myers is actually fixed and made, you know, not garbage.


    I actually enjoy playing against it because it's one of the only ways to make the game scary from the survivor POV. If a Myers has tombstone piece, I'm genuinely scared of him and not going to be messing with him.

    Trickstaaaaa Member Posts: 1,267

    I was trippin, real talk 😂. But yeah that's what I mean the very rare add-on.

  • Warcrafter4
    Warcrafter4 Member Posts: 2,917

    its one of the few add-ons that punish people for needless BMing the killer making it more or less a KARMA add-on in a lot of games.

    (Joking)So of course survivor mains hate it!

    But being honest it probably shouldn't be able to mori a survivor with over 50% stalk remaining(But you can stalk in T3). This would mean Michael would have to stalk you to mori you.

    You can actually 4k with tombstone peice alone but you have to stalk specific survivors. Once you drain someone dry you have to use the peice on them and only them. If you use it on anyone else you'll get only two kills

    Nathan13 Member Posts: 6,707

    So far seems like 95% people here think it should be changed. I like Shino’s suggestion.

    That the worst timing ever. You're just minding your business and then it a mori symbol for you.

    It's so extreme that I consider it just a flavour thing. When it happens, I just enjoy it.

    I love it. It makes Myers fun and scary to face, and keeps him unique. Ideally all purple and iri addons would feel that impactful.

    needs to be changed.

    Myers shouldnt be able to just walk up to someone with a 99%ed tier 3 and immediately remove them from the match (especially bad when he stalked another survivor to get to 99%, so you got no chance at all).


    i'd like it to be changed so you can only kill Survivors with it that have been fully stalked, while also draining the stalk you can get from them quicker than usual.

    that way, if you get tombstone pieced, its because of your own misplays that allowed myers to drain your stalk.

    I just saw this thread and I was legit about to tag you in it.

    Apparently we upset the most top tier Myers player and they rallied the troops and it’s like “if you see these two chuckleheads, it’s Tombstone time. Got it?”

    This isn’t a “har har funny funny” meme either. I swear we go against Tombstone 80% of the time. The other 20% is insta T3 or infinite T3 🙃

  • It's fine, you see it once in a blue moon and even more rare are YOU the one being moried. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Perfectly fine.

    Always was and always will be.

    Between tombstone piece and judith's tombstone I would say the tombstone piece is more healthy for the game. It has strong drawbacks that can be mitigated by killer skill, but simultaneously makes Myers feel very powerful and it changes his gameplay significantly which is what an addon should do.

  • pseudechis
    pseudechis Member Posts: 3,904

    That's a shame as every time something is really threatening or unpredictable it tends to get complained about and watered down.

    We shouldn't want the exact same survivor playstyle to be effective against every killer because that is really dull. The game becomes loop, pallet, rinse, repeat or sit on a gen. Every game the same regardless of killer.

    Tombstone Myers is fun because he's threatening. A chase against him is high stakes and may result in insta death. You have to break line of sight to deny stalk, you have to be aware of your surroundings while working on a gen. You can't just circle the same pallet then run to your boon spot and reset the wound pressure with a quick heal.

    The great thing about powerful killer addons and powers is that they make the killer threatening and as a result the game scarier. That's the whole point of survival horror.

    What I don't like is when a myers has either tombstone add-ons and he has 3 stacks of PWYF, his hand stays closed and it's kinda annoying. I get that it should be obvious if he's stalking for so long and not hitting anyone he has tombstone, but still, just best to always keep his hand open no matter how many stacks you have

  • SunsetSherbet
    SunsetSherbet Member Posts: 1,607

    If we can't do things like buff killers until solo survivor is buffed, then we also shouldn't be able to nerf bottom tier killers until we buff them. Nerfing tombstone piece shouldn't be on the table until the killer is actually fixed. Doing so before hand is just further proof of survivor sided design.

  • OniWantsYourMacaroni

    An outdated addon that needs to be readjusted/reworked.

    It's not exactly fair in it's current state imo

  • lauraa
    lauraa Member Posts: 3,195

    May I ask why you think Piece is more fair?

    I just find that interesting because I personally would think Judith's would be more fair because Piece let's you delete a random survivor and still play the game normally whereas Judith's is a playstyle commitment

  • ImTooooomingggggg
    ImTooooomingggggg Member Posts: 28

    Myers is a low tier m1 killer, his insta downs require more effort than most others. The addon is fine in his current state, personally I don't think it should ever be removed as its thematically fitting for him, maybe reworked a bit if he gets a rework though. But in his current state, no way.

  • Shaped

    I am curious about something.

    If tp is so broken and op why is Myers not played often, and why is he at the bottom of everyones tier list?


    Also if you nerf m1 killers in any way you better give them so buffs since they are underpowered af especially these days.

  • Shaped
    Shaped Member Posts: 5,870

    I think it is strong but so is plenty of stuff in this game. For Myers tp is a way to compensate for his lack of anti loop and mobility at the start. For me.

  • Grandpa_Crack_Pipe
    Grandpa_Crack_Pipe Member Posts: 3,306

    Because most tier lists don't assume you're running Tombstone Piece literally every single game.

    He doesn't suddenly become nurse, he's still an M1 killer and thus beatable, it just kinda sorta incredibly blows to get suddenly booted back to the main menu with little to no warning or input.

    Someone gets booted, and the rest of the team gets the message "don't interact with the killer ever".

    Which is usually the fun part.
