Myers running out of stalk is dumb.

One of the base kit changes he needs, man is this stupid. Just cost me a couple kills in the end game where the survivor was body blocking the injured one and they were both fully juiced. Nothing to do, free escape. I suppose I could have left a tad bit of stalk on them but it was a stressful back and forth match and I wasn't thinking of it.

Update Myers already! No other killers can run out of their power!

    They should've buff his basekit ages ago and get rid of those silly op a$$ add ons

  • I think he's mostly fine as-is (he's an S-tier killer depending upon build), but I agree with the OP; he shouldn't be able to run out of stalk.

    Also, half of his addons are completely useless.

    I like him as is, if only for the ability to use the term SPOOKY JUICE.

    Yeah Mikey is in a weird spot. He's got some of the most broken addons in the game currently, but is also incredibly weak in so many ways.

    How strong would it be if people who are out of evil juice are permanently exposed but tombstones changes so it can only kill people who are out of evil juice

    it's there because of tombstone tho if im honest if you run out of stalk on a non tombstone game and the game isn't over you messed up big

    Yeah, reminds me of a long time ago when you could sabotage Trapper traps and they simply would never come back, so if a decent player brings Saboteur, suddenly you're an M1 killer with no power at all.

    they should also erase the lightburn mechanic that wraith has right now... it's an outdated mechaninc that need to go...

    The best way to balance/buff Myers would be to replenish the evil within survivors who are advancing the objective aka doing gens or gates. Afk/trolling survivors wouldn't be affected by this so Myers wouldn't really be able to exploit them after they were fully sucked dry already.

    then make it only for tombstone.

    a silly addon shouldnt ruin his whole power

    Oh, but he is. That's the thing about Michael; he's 5 or 6 different killers in one. His playstyle changes completely depending on what he's running.

    I don't care how good you are, your chances against Mikey when he's running Fragrant Tuft and Memorial with Call of Brine, Pain Resonance, Pop, and Eruption are damn near zero, especially if he camps a three-gen from the start. There's just nothing you can do.

    Same goes for Memorial + Tombstone Piece and perks that compliment that playstyle. It requires some strategy and forethought, far more than people think it does, but he's the only killer that can pop up in front of you and instakill you without having seen you the entire game. Then it's a 3v1 (and if he's playing right, he already has a few hooks), and if he has good perks, the rest of the team is toast.

    And then there's the Vanity Mirror + Dead Rabbit + M&A combo, which is harder to pull off, but also S-tier (and his best build, if you ask me). No terror radius, and you can wallhack at full movement speed (unlike Cracked Mirror). It's just not even fair.

    Sure, those all require specific addons, and some of his addons - hell, most - are hot garbage, including his other iri, but he will ######### you up with the right perks. Even Otz, who is one of Michael's biggest detractors, admits that he'd get a higher place in the tier list if he considered certain addons, and he did put Fragrant Tuft and TP near the top of the addon tier list when he made that video.

    i would gladly put your "op" myers aganist a decend team in the borgo map just to do an example... you'll change your idea rather quickly trust me

    Removing the stalk limit would let everyone get the achievement faster. Bhvr can't have that, you need to be time gated and limited on how fast you can get a steam achievement.

    Your 'counter' to tuft or TP is to give him a map with huge lines of sight and very few los blockers?

    I'm not sure that you've ever played Myers. And since I'm sure it'll be relevant: you can pick out a 3 gen on literally any map in the game at the start and corrupt intervention exists.

    you are forgetting that also you can't control 3 gen if all 4 survivors are still alive and know what they are doing... you speak like if myers has some sort of defense aganist those situations when clearly he hasn't (no map control, no antiloop, your instakill addon require also so much stalking that the match will be already finished before myers will reach tier 3, not to mention that windows, pallets and exhaustion perks exist)

    mayers need one minor buff:

    1. Stalk meter recharge in survs over time.
    2. Fully stalked survivors can be moried like with tombstone.

    This. The fact that Myers is the only person who has a hard cap on how often he can use is power is a large part of why I say hes the weakest killer in the game.

    Freddy is somewhat the same: Once all gens pop, he cannot teleport. Which is stupid.

    The Pig, too: Once all gens pop, putting RBTs on people is useless.
