Who thinks Mike Meyers' ability to insta-mori everyone is just garbage?

Am I alone in thinking that this ability needs to be removed? I just played a match against the WORST Meyers I've ever seen, really not an exaggeration, and he still 4Ks everyone. It's garbage. Any time I'm in a match and I see a Meyers Mori someone, I just run at him so he'll kill me and I can move on to another match without a DC penalty. I can't believe this is fun even for the killer.

    It's kind of stupid that an addon can just instantly remove everyone in the match.

    Think you lot keep forgetting this is supposed to be a horror PVP Game to make you slightly afraid so yeah i think its fun makes it more careful and on edge as a horror game should make you feel..

    It's insanely boring gameplay. Just one chase then you are dead.

    I play both roles, more survivor because I play with my son, but when I play killer I main Shape and it is a ton a fun to pull this off. The survivors are constantly guessing, "Is he gonna do it?" and, "I bet he's just new." I love it from both points of view, and it is by far the best and most well thought out ability for any killer they put in DbD.

    Could it be easier to do, sure, but then it would be too powerful. Though, now that levels 1-24 of the web are required BEFORE you can get any decent add-ons it is a major problem to get both of the things you need. That is an issue with the web though, not Myers.

    If you are playing as survivors and you are worried Shape is trying to do this, you need to figure out where he is and don't stand in front of him! It's that easy to avoid giving away the free kill. I've got one word for you: SEPARATE!

    If you are Shape and trying to pull this off, good luck! I hope you stand back while three or four survivors all sit on the same gen thinking that you are afking or something, because I love the feeling of terror they are going to experience when they realize they screwed up majorly.

    This is the point of DBD, the reason WE ALL ARE HERE! That moment of surprise when you realize the killer is rushing YOU, and you are going to die. It's great, and it needs to stay in the game the way it is.

    The thing is that Myers has to build up that power, and it sometimes requires time for him, unless survivors are toghether. It's basically trying to avoid feeding the monster too much by breaking his line of sight constantly. I know a Myers can be annoying sometimes, but he depends on the survivors following lame strategies to access his power while using the environment to hide and stalk more efficiently. To prevent that just try to be on your own and mind your surroundings. And if you see that white mask, try to evade his sight. As someone who often plays Myers, I struggle to reach Tier III when survivors do this, and Myers is most of the time a M1 killer with a short terror radius, which is pretty weak in chases.

    Imo when they rework him, it should be basekit, with certain conditions, like being outta stalk or death hook

    I don't think it's that big of a thing. I personally see a Meyers once a week, max. Let alone a Mori Meyers. So the few times I get one it's a real experience. It is stressful in a positive way. You always have to be careful, even more so than usually, and I love it. Sure, many times you die against these, but it is still fun.

    Being afraid is fine, but Meyers being able to one-hit everyone just ruins the match. It's not intense when everyone dies back to back within 40 seconds. Also, it's more than just a horror game, it's also like a sporting event for a lot of people. To be honest though, my favorite matches are when the killer slows things down and plays fair without camping hooks or tunneling one person too much. I try to do the same when I play killer as well. To me it's more fun to have a balanced match than it is to win, but to each their own. With the long queue times though, it's beyond frustrating to have a match end so suddenly.

    I have no problem dying. It's not about that. I mostly play solo which means I get matched with people I'm not coordinating with, and not all of them know it's even a thing he can do. And again, I have no problem with him being able to mori us, I have a problem with the single hit mori. I've also gone into several matches where a Meyers can activate the ability within 3 minutes. If people don't notice him, you're Effed.

    Survivors getting punished for ignoring killer mechanics on the assumption that they can just grind out gens and escape for free?

    We need more of that.

    If you don't like it, just jump in a locker if he's chasing you. He can't KO from a locker grab.

    It takes longer than 40 seconds for meyers to even get to tier 3 to enable him to do that since the time to tier up using those addons is like 200% longer. You talk balance when its a 4 v 1 match there is nothing balanced about that game nor when has DBD ever really been "balanced" .......

    Meyers being able to one hit is not what was asked it was asked about whether he should be able to insta mori but honestly he is not the only one that is able to mori without the mori addon.

    To be fair that build is more of a meme than anything else i do not come accross that many tombstone meyers.

    Myers needs 300% stalk to pull this off. If your team feeds a myers enough stalk to get this power without popping gens that is low level survivor gameplay unfortunately. Go see how often this happens in tournaments or pro streamers videos. Its a meme build, I'm not being rude but it's a silly fun thing. Its a risk/reward for the killer. You basically throw nearly the entire match to get this power.

    Not to mention corrupt was the only thing that really allowed it before, under the current patch it is actually weaker than ever to try this combo.

    You will not find a single tier list online that puts Myers above C tier killer at best with or without this combo.

    Also he can't even use the mori if you hop in a locker, meaning he wastes his entire game building stalk, then you STILL have 2 hook states per person before he can kill anyone. It is easily the worst red add on combo in the game if survivors know how to out play it (do gens, break line of sight and waste time while he is stalking, let him down you so he can't stalk, jump in lockers after the tier three activates.)

    There is absolutely zero reason for this build to succeed outside of lower ranks. I know because the ONLY time I play Myers is with this build and the win rate is VERY low. I usually lose with it several times before finding a lobby where it works.

    I honestly ask that with that addon the unused "almost tier up" noise played if he was stalking you and above 75% stalk.

    Yes, it's garbage

    The specific match that made me post this, the Meyers did take the entire match to build it up. It was seriously about 10 - 13 minutes. Don't remember the sounds, I just remember every teammate dying back to back and I was the only one left with no damage and couldn't even get to the hatch because he doesn't even have to hit you, he just grabs you and you're dead. I've encountered it about a half dozen times in the last two months. Maybe it's not always Tombstone? I only played as Meyers once back when you could earn a trial to play as other killers through the blood web of the killers. What I mean is, maybe I've seen them Mori someone with just a regular mori and assumed it was Tombstone. Either way, it's had the effect that as soon as a Meyers Mori's someone, I want to DC, and I know I'm not the only one because I watch people do it all the time. I'm not saying they should get rid of the ability, just tweak it. Make them have to still two hit you so there can be a chase. One hit is just garbage for survivors.

    Bro, 13 minutes you could be doing gens and you are out. He built It Up because you allowed him to do so.
