I like the rework but holy crap do I hate the slaughtering strike. Turning is total crap with it. All survivor has to do is hug a rock, a corner, or make a sharp turn and you aren't hitting it like his old tier 3 lunge. I guess I'm bringing tuft of hair add on every game. Everything else I like about the rework, the slaughtering strike is not good though.

    I have go try it out.

    On a video, it seems rather unproblematic, but we all know that not everything looks like what it actually is.

    It got nerfed. That's why. It's worse than a basic attack, it got a 30% nerf or so to the minimum distance (you have to fully charge it now) and Maximum distance by 50% (full charge is even worse and useless for distance)

    But hey it feels more lungey now!💀

    Slaughtering strike feels so bad that I use tuff of hair just to not deal the terrible clunkiness, along with the stalking range addon as 32 meters is way too low of a range

    This whole rework felt like a overall net nerf in every aspect

    The devs said it was basically extended lunge (and yet for some reason it has reduced turn rate, slides off collision, breaks through pallets, and goes way further than an extended lunge even factoring in coup) totally not a dash don’t worry 👍

    there is an addon…i htink tuft of hair? that takes away slaughtering strike and he becomes OG T3 myers if you prefer that. I figured it out cuz my old Myers build used that Addon and was confused on why there was no slaughtering strike lol. Basically you just pop t3 and m1 them like before.

    You can't switch modes when you have 100% stalk...ie you're stuck in Tier 2.

    People are already just 99ing stalk to avoid the STALK FULL sound cue/stay stealthy if they need to and just 100%ing when they can switch/get a down.

    It's basically the same scenario as before without an exposed icon + a dash/pallet break.

    You can also guarantee a cheesy kill in anyone you've hooked 2x.

    Personally, this rework is a failure that also strips the killer of his identity....which people are already circumventing as mentioned above.

    you can't 99% hold stalk forever. It does decay if you take too long.

    Also what's wrong with being able to mori survivors on death hook?

    you know it's bad when i'm bringing tuft of hair or scratch mirror as my main builds because he feels so clunky basekit. What worst is tier 3 only lasts 40 seconds now

    If you really want a survivor out of the game, you stand near their 2nd hook with T3 stocked.

    If they kobe, you mori them.

    If they are rescued, you mori them - it's also possible to get the rescuer prior to the mori in some cases (IE hitting them with Dash at end of unhook).

    If the hook timer is under the duration of EW3, you can just pop it and get a kill regardless of what happens by facecamping.

    I don't mind the turning rate, it is definitely better than say, Blight or Oni, BUT:

    • The 6 second cooldown between uses is annoying.
    • Charge time can be really annoying, and is much worse with add-ons.

    It feels really bad, even worse than PTB despite the charge movement speed increase.

    The duration was gutted but it was given no speed buff, which I woulda liked. Without it, the distance gain is kinda terrible.

    The turnrate is terrible Idk why it needs it decreased and cant have normal as m1 or pig dash, its harder to hit around more rounded obsticles than with billys saw or even in open you can do more with billys saw them mayers dash.

    His tier 3 isn't instant either anymore even when using tuft of hair. There's a small slow down which could be the difference between the survivor reaching safety or not.
