Is Myers ever gonna be touched by the devs, he needs changes more then any other killer.
I'd really like someone on the dev team to answer this. This character is maybe the most iconic on the whole roster of DBD killers and literally opened the flood gates for this game to thrive. First licensed chapter. Why is he being left in this outdated weak state? Pretty much everyone agrees when he's not using his broken Tombstone add ons or his infinite tier 3 he's pretty horrible. His base kit is from early DBD design and it does not keep up at all anymore. It hasn't been keeping up for years honestly.
Even Otz made a video recently with Myers gameplay asking "why do they refuse to change him?" Ghostface has had base kit changes, Legion has had base kit changes. Many killers have had changes but Myers stays the same. Moving at 105% speed to start off the game is ridiculous in the current state of DBD and he can run out of his power. The stealth means close to nothing in tier 1. Survivors are smart, experienced and have there ears open for his breathing and see him on many open maps.
His kill rates may be fine because of add ons that shouldn't even be in the game. I'd love to see what his kill rate is in matches where tombstone addons and infinite tier 3 are not used. I'm aware of other killers in weak spots that need changes to but Myers really needs something soon. Is it a license holder issue with him? Because if the devs did a little research and listened to community advice they'd know Myers is very outdated.
I'll add as someone who plays a lot of Myers its also frustrating to see other characters get buffed and changes that don't need it as much as he does. What was with the Executioner buff that they rolled back?? Pyramid Head is one of the best killers in the game and Myers is a relic of the past. But they planned on buffing Pyramid Head. Makes no sense.

Dang now I wanna play Myers let ya know how it's going

He could also use a graphical update, hes one of the oldest killers after all, being the very first licensed one, his age shows.

Corrupt, Plaything, Jolt, and Monitor is my favorite build with him. When it goes well its very fun. However when the gen rush happens forget about it, which is like 50% of my games now.
And now with lots of survivors running MTF+Hope sometimes you literally can't even catch up to them before they get out the exit gate. Him and M1 killers in general have been just left to rot and die by the devs. All the meta shifts and the amount of improved survivors have left Myers and others in the dust.

Same reason they won’t buff Trapper - the stats say he’s fine.
He has some busted add ons and those inflate his kill rate so he appears in a good spot from a stats perspective.

That's why his kill rates should be analyzed when he's not using those add ons. I'd be willing to bet its pretty low on the list. If they see how far his kill rate drops without those add ons it should show them his kit is serverly lacking.

I agree, but unfortunately I doubt they’ll look at it that way. If Tombstone Piece were somehow Kill Switched they might but otherwise I doubt it.
Another thing about Myers I noticed is that despite being regarded as the worst killer in the game, I don’t really see anyone asking for buffs for him? Maybe that’s another reason why he hasn’t received much love is because no one is actually talking about him?

Buffing killers like trapper and Myers is like taking a shortcut over an earned skill ceiling of certain killers like nurse, blight, Billy, Wesker, Huntress, Oni, Spirit etc that can actually do somthing against good swfs with their power..

Not saying Myers is particularly demanding, but Trapper does require quite a bit of planning due to how he plays, sure, he is easy to play, but Trapper does require good knowledge of the maps, and learning how to use his traps in the most effective way possible to get value out of them.
Regardless, if a killer is weak, it should get buffed.

Trapper isint weak by any means, there’s a difference between being the weakest killer in the game vs the person who’s actually playing him, with that being said trapper shouldn’t get buffed because they lost to a good coordinated Swf who barely got 4kd by a knowledgeable Huntress player the game before. When you play 85% of the killer roster in DBD you take a gamble on the outcome against good coordinated swfs wether you get hooks/kills vs getting looped and gen rushed the whole match empty handed, the other 15-20% of the killer roster can consistently keep pressure against good coordinated swfs. So buffing the weaker killers would only make going against them more boring.. like I’d rather loop a cracked blight and have way more fun then loop a trapper and randomly step in a trap and get instadowned in the most skilless way possible..

I don’t really understand what your point is. Are you saying weak killers should stay weak because they lack skill/are boring? Or that you think only a few killers should be able to compete at high MMR?
And personally, I think a good Trapper is a better show of skill than a good Huntress is.

The fact that he can run out of power is what drives me nuts about him. He's the only killer that is set up that way too. I played a match yesterday where I had managed to fully stalk Nancy, and every time I encountered her there was nothing I could do because I had no power left to use on her. That alone is ridiculous and needs to be changed.

So basically only difficult killers have right to be strong.
I mean, it's true because how BHVR is balancing, but I don't think it should be this way.
They don't need to be Nurse level, but also shouldn't be that bad in comparison.

I made a very nice mini rework idea for Myers yesterday if you want to read.
It's short, sweet but simple
