GIve him a regular lunge in tier 1. There is absolutely no need for that absurd baby lunge he has in tier 1. Everything else I like the changes.

    They also forgot to make my boy even more amazing than he already is by buffing Scratched Mirror to give him a 150% movement speed increase.



    Yes, I am delusional.

    I don't want to see ANY buffs to scratched mirror Myers, thank you

    I'm talking about his base kit when he's not using that add on. J

    Boyfriend's Memo should be basekit.

    The only fun killer build in the game, that's only viable on 5 maps, and is easily countered by holding W or looping even the weakest of loops?

    Seriously just run around a rock and you'll last longer than you would against most other killers.

    In general I think tier 1 is just kinda pointless now since you can get out of it in 3 seconds at range. I don't like any of the implications of that.

    I used tier 1 at times as a poor mans scratched mirror Myers when I got thrown on an indoor map, but that of course takes a lot of map knowledge and luck. Would be better if Tier 1 wasn't that hardly gimped by even one basic Rock or trash can.

    Yeah but in tier 2 you have a 16 meter terror radius with normal movement speed anyway (less with M&A and/or Dead Rabbit) so if you want stealth hits you can just do that with more success. On live the whole point is that it can be kinda hard to get out of tier 1 quickly, which in terms of balance is iffy in modern, fast-paced, everyone knows all the old tricks DbD, but in terms of design intent it does its job.

    But on PTB it's way easier to get out of now that they reduced the time and changed how ranged stalking works. So like…why even have tier 1 anymore? What purpose does it serve? Who's actually going to stay as a 4.4 m/s M1 killer (without a lunge) for any length of time instead of just taking a few seconds to stalk considering he's still good at getting stealth hits in tier 2?

    It just seems like they're making Myers slightly stronger at the cost of making him worse designed. Wish they would've came up with a more nuanced way to buff him.

    Just buff his lunge base kit but keep it reduced when using that add on like they did with his movement speed.

    Have you ever thought of the scenario, that it could be buffed to not only be viable on indoor maps? Then maybe there would not be any counterargument for the removal of map offerings.

    Ill take a buffed scratch mirror Myers buff over map offerings.

    I think they missed a lot about Myers in this update…

    Maybe they could keep it a bit shorter than a normal lunge, but way longer than the current lunge!

    So the current baby lunge is 0.2 seconds

    The normal lunge duration is 0.5 seconds

    And the Tier 3 duration is 0.6 seconds

    They should make the baby lunge 0.4 seconds!

    While I'm glad Myers has been given any attention at all, I really don't want him to have such minor changes and be left alone again for years!

    I'm enjoying the buff to his stalking from afar - It leans much more into his character, however the fact he still has basically no utility feels like a wasted opportunity.

    Even just giving Myers the ability to toggle his Evil Within Tier level using the secondary power button would be great.

    I like the buffs he’s getting, but I think he needs a bit more:

    The changes to Myers are good, but I'd like to go a bit further. — BHVR

    I agree. A regular lunge in Tier 1 would be great.
