Slaughter Strike is wildly unnecessary and doesn't even fit The Shape.

So, I managed to get my hands on Myers before he was made unavailable for purchase and finally decided to start trying him out recently, seeing the rework of his kit for myself. After a good number of relatively easy games, minus getting styled on in first match or two because I'm too stupid to think of trying a game against bots first, I've already come to the conclusion that Slaughter Strike is just unnecessary and doesn't even fit the killer. I tried a good number of games with his ordinary kit before using the FRAGRANT TUFT OF HAIR add-on to simulate his original gameplay, and I just found it infinitely more satisfying while also not being OP or annoying. I don't understand why recent additions and updates seem hellbent on making already existing killers faster, let alone in uninspired ways that make no sense. Don't get me wrong, I don't entirely hate the rework of The Shape, but I'd really just prefer if he didn't have Slaughter Strike and worked similarly to his original state. The swapping between between stalker and pursuer mode is a perfectly fair and honestly welcome change, but the special attack just feels awful to use and I can imagine it seeming like a zero effort attack from the survivors' pov.

Tldr: The new special attack doesn't fit and is absurd in both power and theme, and he's still strong even without it as pretty much every game either way was a rather easy 4K.

    Since Myers license has been lost, there will likely be no changes to his kit until a possible time they reacquire the license. We saw the same thing with Demogorgon where he sat in the state the license left at until the license was reacquired.

    It also very likely why the rework came out when it did alongside changes to perks from that chapter.

    I'm still sad that they turned the beloved Myers into a dash slop killer. I could see maybe ghostie getting a dash treatment considering it makes sense for him, but Myers has never traditionally been one to just run around at high speeds. Hes usually slow and methodological with some sort of off-screen teleport.
