Scratch mirror Myers the true feeling of fear that he's around the corner waiting for you

I have no reason to believe he is going to get a rework, probably just because Halloween is around the corner.

Can we just keep this

    No one ever said anything about Myers getting a rework or stuff being taken away from him anytime soon.

    I concur. I like the feel of him but he's been bottom 5 for ever. He needs something but I really don't want to destroy how cool he can feel.

    He just needs a better basekit and some of his strongest add-ons (tombstones) changes, but most of his add-ons should stay in my opinion.

    his browns , yellows and greens are pretty boring addons tbh he should get some new ones imo.

    That add-on should be buffed. If you get an outdoor map with that add-on the survivors can loop and bully you so much.

    Myers is fine.

    Only his Tombstone Piece is a broken relic from a bygone era.

    I mean we've thought in the past that they'd do something to help hype up the recent halloween films but, they've not done that it'd be nice if there was some hype in the game promoting halloween ends but, I don't think there will be.

    A killer regularly regarded as among the worst in game of d tier isnt fine.

    I can't see them completely reworking Scratched Mirror. As bad as it is, it's quite a universally beloved addon in the community.

    He has the best addon variety of all killers in the game and he has some spectacular addons.

    I don't want to see him reworked. Look what they did to Freddy ffs.

    Not all killers need to be strong.

    He is fine.

    Personally, I'd like it if a diminished version of Scratched Mirror was basekit, but you'd need the add-on to lock you to Tier 1 and bring it up to what it currently does.


    The only add-on that really needs a nerf is Tombstone Piece. The iridescent add-ons are fine as is with how long it can take to level up to tier 3. He is one of the very few killers that still instills fear into players at the start of the match. Myers is still as strong as he ever was...it is just that a whole lot has come into the game since then and he just needs some minor buffs to his basekit to be able to compete with higher tier survivors.


    On a side note, I love how he can outright ignore and defy The Entity and mori survivors without an offering. I really want that to remain as part of him, no matter what changes might or might not come.

    Scratched mirror but there's a 10% chance that the survivor gets tombstoned.

    Ideally all killers should be strong, while survivors should still have a reasonable chance against any of them. That said, this is DBD, and i share your concern that they would do a horrendous job of reworking him and make him even worse than he is now. Or worse, make him better and actually viable, then kneecap him a few months later. Just to give you a taste.

    Yeah if Mikey ever gets a rework I hope to god they keep Scratched Mirror. I went against a SM Michael on Lery's before and it was genuinely terrifying; it makes me remember this is actually supposed to be a horror game. 🤣

    Tombstone should go as an add-on, but I think it'd be awesome if they could build his mori into his basekit power - kinda like Sadako and Executioner. It would still add that fear-factor that Tombstone has, but without the BS of being able to get someone out of the game so easily.

    Imagine if Scratched mirror could also be basekit for Tier 1, Can stalk as normal but also see through walls during Tier 1.

  • DredgeyEdgey
    DredgeyEdgey Member Posts: 1,373

    Exactly

    I need some reminder that this can be horror game and it's sad that the closest thing that scares me is a bear trap because I can't see it and it just appears

    People overrate his addon variety just because he has a couple of addons that more drastically change his power compare to other killers.

    However people only ever run Faster Stalking, Duration or Infinite T3, Tomestone Piece with the occassional Scratched Mirror + T1 Lunge w/ Lery's Offering. And maybe you'll find someone doing Judith's + Infinite.

    Also while he doesn't need much, an addon overhaul would be very beneficial as it would allow the devs to replace some of his more useless addons. For example we could condense all the stalk movement into a single brown addon, if not remove it entirely though Myers can have some use for faster movement while stalking due to lack of collision. This would open space for more interesting addons that would actually see use.

    Michael definitely needs a rework. His style of play doesn't fit the current state of DBD today. First off, the further away Michael is the faster his stalking should be. It doesn't make sense for him to be right on top of the survivor in order to get his ability faster. That's not how stalking works!

    Secondly, he poses no threat in tier 1 since everything is reduced: movement speed, lunge attack, etc. I think that once a match starts, there should be a passive ability that gets you to tier 2. Stalking can get you there faster, but if you have trouble getting a clear line of sight of survivors, the game will get you there on it's own.

    Last but not least, Michael's the only killer that can literally run out of power, which makes no sense. Once a survivor is completely in the red, the stalking ability should be reduced by half (maybe more), instead of being removed altogether. I've personally had matches where the last remaining survivors were completely in the red, and it turned Michael into just a normal m1 killer. Needless to say it sucked. But these are just my thoughts on how to improve him.
