With Myers being on the to-do list and no design being made yet for it, here's a GREAT idea for him

In the recent Q&A BHVR confirmed Myers is on their to-do list for a update which is GREAT news, they have no design yet on what they want to do for him so it opens the window for us to give some ideas to the devs on what they could possibly do for him in the future to make him better.

As a Prestige 100 Myers, this is my design for a Myers rework.

So i've been personally thinking about what they could do to Myers, the obvious changes would be to touch his stalking mechanic and evil, which of course they will do, however I truly strongly believe he can be more than simply stalking survivors to gain evil and T3 in the survivors faces.

I have been thinking about it and I can up with a true Myers rework which will make him extremely more mobile and scarier than before, change his stalking mechanic and basekit.

This post will be in few steps:

1. Tiers
2. Stalking
3. Out of sight phasing
4. Add-ons

You might be wondering, ######### is out of sight phasing? and you are right, what is it? i'll come to it shortly, for now, let's start with step 1, Stalking!

Step 1: Tiers

As we all know, Myers has 3 tiers of evil within, Tier 1 where he is undetectable, going 105% movement speed and has a very short lunge, this is obviously the weakest he is during the match and can sometimes be a real pain to get out of tier 1 if there's lost of line of sight blockers or the survivors have enough distance on you.

To fix this problem: Myers will no be moving at 110% at tier 1.

This will fix his very slow mobility early game making it easier to reach Tier 2 and making him more deadly sooner than later.

Tier 2 will remain pretty much unchanged, however reaching Tier 3 will now take twice the required time, which will be 10 seconds.

Tier 3 by itself remains unchanged.

Step 2: Stalking

The way stalking works at the moment you gain evil by stalking survivors, the furtherr you are the slower it is to gain evil but the closer you are the more you gain, which doesn't make much sense at all since Myers always stalks his victims from afar or at the very least at first, and he gets closer and closer.

To fix this problem: Myers will stalk survivors at a fixed rate like how it works for ghostface, no matter the distance it will always be the same amount of evil he will gain from stalking survivors.

This will fix the awkward gameplay of always having to get into the survivors face to get the maximum amount of evil per second and allow Myers a more stealthy gameplay by stalking survivors from afar without them knowing, fitting his lore very well.

Also Myers can now stalk multiple survivors at once at 60% of base value, which means when stalking 1 survivor will be at 100% rate, but stalking 2 will be 120% rate, 3 180% and 4 240%, Rewarding Myers for stalking multiple survivors, punishing oblivious ones.

This is not my idea, but someone said survivor should get back 1% of evil every 5 seconds, this way Myers will always be able to get back to Evil within 3 and never be stuck to Evil within 2 because he cannot get evil from survivors. (Idea is from the youtuber Dustaroo)

Step 3: Out of sight phasing

Right now Myers have 0 mobility, while in the movies we see him (not really) disappear all the time, walks off a corner and he's gone, so why not add this to his kit? making him able to move around the map quickly like he always does in the movies by walking faster than light?

How to implement?

It will only be able to work when Myers it out of sight from survivors and in Tier 2, it will be similar to how survivors reveal ghostface, if they can have a clear line of sight it will not be able to be performed, once Myers gets in out of sight phasing he will move around the map at 150% speed, is undetectable and invisible, it does not make any sounds.

He can reappear at any time but must be out of sights of surivors and must do so 10 meters away from them at the very least, he cannot reappear if those conditions aren't meant.

How to balance it? by consuming evil when doing so!

The default rate will be 5% of evil for each second he is spending in out of sight phasing, this way it will add new strategies to Myers, do I keep all my evil to T3 in their face or a spend some of it to quickly reach other survivors and start a new chase quickly? this also avoid any instances of reappearing next to survivors and T3 in their face.

Also when reappearing the terror radius goes to 16 meters instantly and is directional, Myers is slowed down to 15% speed for 2 seconds and then he can move and do everything normally, this gives surivors enough time to react and avoid Myers.

What if Myers runs out of evil when phasing? he will keep phasing at 115% movement speed and will have the same condition to reappear.

This will add a LOT of mobility and strategy to Myers, making him less than stalk and T3 you dead.

Step 4: Add-ons

What I have in mind for add-ons is that every category of rarity affects 1 part of his power.

Common will affect his out of sight phasing.

Uncommon will affect Tier 1.

rare will affect Tier 2.

Very rare will affect Tier 3.

1 add-on in each category will do something else not related to the Tier the rarity affects.

For exemple

A common add-on could reduce phasing evil consumption by 20% or incease the movement speed or allow you to spawn 2 meters closer, the add-on that won't affect phasing could be something like, when breaking a pallet you get 10% of evil.

Uncommon will have Scratched mirror and boyfriend's memo, the add-on not affection Tier 1 could be stalk surivvors 10% faster.

etc etc.

Removing all the add-ons that does the exact same thing 3-4 times and give them new effects, one could increase your movement speed in tier 3 by 3% but Tier 3 is is 15 seconds shorter Tier 3 will be very rare add-ons, you gain undetectable when stalking a survivor for 2 seconds could be a uncommon, you stalk multiple survivors at 75% of base value, the very rare add-on not affection Tier 3.

I will however give 2 reworks for the 2 ultra rare add-ons for Myers.

Judith's tombstone: When reaching Tier 3 you have the option to kill a survivor by your own hands, Tier 3 last 60 seconds, when hitting a survivor in any way, the survivor will automatically get moried, once the survivor is killed, you go back to Tier 1.

Fragrant tuft of hair: You have unlimited Evil within 3 duration, Evil within 3 goes back to Evil within 2 after lading 4 basic attacks.

This can open a whole new play style for Myers and rise him up from the lower tier people say he is.

I hope you enjoyed this concept/rework for Myers and let me know what you think.

See you in the fog.

Edit:

Reworked the Judith tomstone add-on from Judith's tombstone: When reaching Tier 3 you have the option to kill a survivor by your own hands, Tier 3 last 30 seconds, when hitting a survivor in any way, grabbing or taking out of a locker, the surivivor will automatically get moried, once the survivor is killed, you go back to Tier 1. to how it is now.
