Micheal Myers instant kill

I personally think that the fact that Micheal Myers (idk if any other killer can) can instant mori all survivors, not even hooking them ONCE first, is extremely unfair and ruins the game for survivors. I have had my few games where this has happend, and it personally ruins my lust to play this game.

    If you see Myers not getting tier 2 and 3 for way longer than usual, just jump into lockers/vault/work on gen.

    Even if you are wrong, you get to deny perks like Jolt, or Infectious Fright. Slugging overall.

    It's good habbit to learn against Jolt for any game.

    Tombstone piece is something different tho. That addon is broken.

    I wish they nuke it and give him base-kit buffs.

    I would gladly remove the instakill mechanic but that would require a complete overhaul because myers is absolute trash right now.

    You're not wrong.

    Myers and his addons are from a time in the game where Mori's could just down and execute survivors immediately. They later changed it to 1 hook, and finally to the dead on hook we have now.

    There are Myers threads out the wazoo outcryimg for changes, but I guess there are other elements of the game that are taking priority right now.

    In the meantime, if you suspect a Myers is using it, bear in mind that sitting in lockers is a way to avoid getting executed.

    Thank you so much, it is really difficult to understand perks sometimes i feel, so by you kind of explaining it makes it a bit easier to "counter" him.

    If you're getting killed by Myers this way all the time then you need to get better at the game. I'm a Myers main and 90% of the time all but one gen is done before tier 3 if not all of them depending on the group of survivors. The only time it happens sooner is when survivors spend their time dropping pallets and trying to flashlight blind/teabag. Most of the time I might get one Mori with this. Even then I do the build for fun, It's more of a test to see how much better at looping I'm getting.

    Awesome build I affectionately refer to as Speed Force Myers lol. Bamboozle, Play with your food, Superior Anatomy, and Fire up and the infinite tier 3 setup. Honestly the build is just fun.

    Honestly once you gain more game sense and recognise the signs (T3 takes a very long time, Myers doesn't even try to hit anyone and is only stalking..) it really won't be as bad!

    This is a thing that works a lot against newer survivors simply because they don't know it's a thing or how to recognise it, but once you get more experienced you probably won't mind it anymore so don't give up ^^

    Got to admit, the first time it happens to you it's like ######### lol, I wasn't even hooked once 😂

    I've also done it as Myers, and it is fun.

    It really is one of the more annoying things still in the game. The power increase once he hits tier 3, especially with the other addon that keeps him in tier 3 forever, is just way too much. The problem is this power isn't balanced around the objectives of the game for survivors. If DBD were a different game and survivors didn't have to focus so much time on being stationary at generators to escape then a power like this could work. It just feels very out of place for the current design of the game.

    If these addons stay, there should be hook requirements for the tombstone ability. If the infinite tier 3 addon stays, survivors should have a movement speed increase that would require them to be cut off rather than caught up to in chase.

    I think it would be nice if they got rid of those add-ons. Made it take longer for him to tier up, but once he gets to tier 3 he stays there. But no more tombstone/piece.

    Good SWFs may laugh at him but for normal players Meyers is most often a very strong and scary killer.

    He is one of the best with the creepy stalking and the jumpscares.

    Don´t know if some survs even know what his power is.

    When i play him for dailys i stand there stalking and a lot of survs just look at me or teabag around and let me stalk freely...
