myers rework suggestion
So i havent seen a recent rework suggestion for Myers and i would like to suggest a somewhat reasonable rework that would bring him in line with other killers as most folks think Myers is the bottom of the barrel if its not meme related. i want to bring Myers back to the forefront of his core value being the stealthy boi he is.
so my suggestions for the rework are as follows
1.) Judith's tombstone: the point of the tombstone is to allow Myers to do a grab and kill animation to the survivors my suggestion is to change it to a cap of 2 survivors while maintaining the speed debuff and reduce your tier 3 down to tier 2.this will stop people from being cheeky with the perma tier 3 stab combo that tends to be abused in combos allowing for diverse addon plays. people who bring it tend to use it for a fast 4k and in some instances just to blow off steam from a previous match that didn't go their way i feel this slight nerf makes it somewhat fair and inline with my other suggestions to follow
2.) stalk rework: stalking for Myers takes way to long even if solid addons i feel Myers should stalk much faster but have a reduced base tier 3 time. his tier 3 currently last for 60 seconds as base i would suggest a base stalk increase of 25%-50% increase in exchange for 30 seconds since he already has addons to increase the time as is.
3.)fragrant tuft of hair: currently as it stand it takes 200% more stalk time to get a permanent tier 3. personally i feel with the increase to stalking speed suggested earlier u should have to fully stalk all 4 survivors to obtain permanent tier 3, which can be sped up with something like J.Myers memorial addon making it much more fair to obtain permanent tier 3
4.) tombstone piece: tombstone piece offers a quick and easy kill at the cost of your tier 3 status, my suggestion is remove the loss of tier 3 but reduce the ability to kill survivors to 1 kill then no longer works after that. i also think it should not be stackable with Judith's tombstone for obvious reasons stated in that section
5.) stealth rework: Myers is meant to be the king of stealth and i firmly believe that i feel Myers should remain undetectable in tier 2 but with the help of an addon say maybe a purple addon maybe replace vanity mirrors current ability with as follows: "evil within II reveals survivors auras within 8 meters, grants undetectable status while not in chase, increases terror radius by 8 meters while in chase, and increases time to reach evil within III by 100% for the 1st time
6.) nerf the stealth rework: imagine suggesting a buff then suggesting a nerf to what u just suggested right? well by nerfing the stealth rework i mean while using the addon to grant undetectable, perks that would not able able to sense killers in undetectable should be able to function like normal such as spine chill should be able to detect Myers when the normal activation requirements would apply, allowing for this type of buff to perks allows the perks to be more viable and more so since the rework giving these perks a chance to really shine, people wont know if they are going against a Myers so they would need to think carefully as to what perks they bring
7.) conclusion: overall i think Myers is a worthwhile killer who gets a bad rep because he has not gotten the tlc other killers have i believe that my suggestions for possible reworks allows him to have a better chance at thriving by allowing him to stalk much faster and putting him in line with other killers like ghost face who do the same job but much faster despite being 1 survivor at a time, and furthermore hush most of the folks who don't want to see more Myers cause of his instant moris they happen so very often.
by no means do i think this should be the finalization of a Myers rework but more a guideline suggestion for how the devs at behavior could work with Myers should they decide a rework is in order

What Myers needs is a travel system similar to how he works in the movies, where once you take your eyes off of him he suddenly becomes much faster. Ditto with Ghostface. Maybe make it so that Myers gets faster when stalking rather than slower, but only when survivors aren't looking at him? Either that, or a weaker version of Dredge's locker teleport (IE has to enter the locker to teleport versus doing it whenever).

They both definitely need help, especially considering their massive nerf due to the newly buffed spinechill. Mandy at BHVR said they expect Myers and GF to start stalking from 40 meters away now they they can no longer sneak up on spinechill users.

i thought spine chill didnt work on undetectable status

Spinechill got buffed. Now the moment you are within 36 meters of a survivor with spinechill, they are immediately notified. No line of sight needed. No terror radius needed. It effectively removed stealth killers from the match.

Myers relies almost exclusively on his addons. The prestige rework has robbed him of the ability to actually GET the addons you need to make him not completely suck. I was trying to get more just today and it took 1.5 million bloodpoints to get THREE iridescents.
So, fixing that terrible system is number one with a bullet.

Considering there is an achievement that requires judith tombstone and tuft for perma tier 3 reworking those addons as suggested would be problematic
0 -
yea i know theres an achievement but it could be altered if say u bring a mori or somthing or the achievement itself could be reworked as well idk its kinda hard to buff myers without nerfing him at the same time since his main gimmick is litterally 1 shotting survivors i think ghost face as is, is fine at least for right now but myers is just outright memed on because hes so bad without addons, and as i mentioned its only a suggested rework idea and devs will choose how they want as they please i just want myers to be back in the lime light not saying he needs to be god teir but popular enough a choice to reduce the amount of other killers i often see to many of (speaking of legions blights and huntresses)

The vault speed of tier 3 should start at tier 2, make the green addon judith myers memorial to be basekit.
