Should myers be buffed?

I think that Myers needs a buff, he's overshadowed by Ghostface who is clearly better than Michael, but I don't honestly know how to buff him since I don't want to make him broken... So how would you buff Myers? Would you leave him as it is right now? Let's discuss it.

Remove tier 1?
But keep the scratched mirror I love it :D
I kind of agree with you, You can get some good stalk from a far (even if Ghostface benefits from that MUUUUCH MORE) however yea stalking from close distances works better with myers
Yea that's more a Ghostface thing
Too bad.
I guess scratched can be changed to give you the tier one effects.
But yeah, removing or buffing tier one is a great change for myers.
Yes, remove his tier 2. All they would have to do is give him a lunge in tier 1 and give him back normal movespeed 115/ms. Just make it the same required stalk that it would normally take to get to tier 3. This way he can be stealthy and wouldn't have to rely on Monitor and abuse and dead rabbit to sneak up on people as much.
I didn't get you, so you would remove tier 2 and keep only tier 1 and 3 am I right?
I would love it, honestly removing tier 1 looks like a good idea to me, maybe myers could have no terror radius at the start of the match for 2 minutes while still in tier 2? I don't think that it would be broken or OP
That's a solid idea.
Yeah, basically something like that. It wouldn't be OP i don't think personally. Hopefully they do something with him soon. I used to main him a while back but he's just kinda old.
I do feel like the game left Myers behind, which is kinda sad because he was the first licensed character.
The Shape needs some love. Same with Demogorgon.
Taping stalk for the first time regardless of where they are just turns you to Tier 2 as a base. Tier 1 being a button press to leave at the beginning for people who don't want to spend a second in psuedo stealth slowly at 105% - letting survivors get gen progress while you slowly walk across the map and stalk for a few seconds to turn it off... while those who want to approach stealthly for their first hit and not reveal who they are immediately to the survivors can still do so. Leaves the current options open for addons as well without having to change too much since Evil Within II would still act exactly the same.
Honestly Meyers having a 16m Terror Radius at EW2 with Monitor & Abuse reducing it to 8meters still makes him extremely fun in many scenarios that just solving EWI wasting time would instantly raise him up in most people's Tier lists.
He’s really overrated. I feel like people still put him high in tier lists because he always has been, but people are judging him based on 2016/2017 when due to a limited selection then yeah he was one of the better options.
Now he’s really not that good. As others have said Ghostface is just straight up better. Myers has nothing to help at loops either.
Give him back his multi-stalk and remove the stalk limit per survivor. These are artificial handicaps that limit his skill ceiling.
He should be about capitalizing on the weakest survivor to take down the better ones.
I agree I love myers as a character, he's a cinema icon that made the story upon horror movies and he definitely needs some love. Right now the only good stalky killer as I already said is Ghostface. I love both them I even had a Ghostface costume when I was a kid, but yea the shape needs some love.
This. What's the one thing holding back 90% of killers. Mobility. Having him so slow at match start can lose him the game simply by checking the wrong gen first.
Keep the lunge so theres a reason to level but let him be 115% at start. Heck maybe make him risk reward and give him 120-5% in level 1 but no bloodlust or lunge.
I think that if we remove tier 1 and make him stealth for 2 minutes while already in tier 2 would be the best choice here. Anyways many things you said are right
That's also a solid idea. If we removed tier 1 we could keep him undetectable for like 2 mins while still in tier 2. I think that it would be good. But yea I like your idea
If they buff him of course, the buff MUST come on 31th october. Also I want to add a small thing. Give myers his little stalky theme while stalking a survivor, the one that was also in the films. I loved that thing so much, they could re-add it maybe with an option to turn it off.
Yea that sounds like a good idea I like it
considering he is one of the two killers whos addons dont fit the formula that the devs want (huntress being the other) he is very likely to get a addon rework and will most likely have his power changed as well
Oh you're right I didn't think about that
I think it would be great to remove his stalk limit on survivors. GF doesn't have that afaik, why should he?
Because people would complain about perma tier 3. If they also rework his addons they should remove stalk limit.
i have already made a thread about removing tier 1 but i like all the ideas yall putting forward
The real problem here is convincing the devs.
true because rn only success i have with him without corrupt is sloppy thana dead rabbit with a stalk rate add on and just hit and run
I think that is outdated, nobody complains about oni getting fed by the same person all game long either while he has more map pressure. It just gives incentive from people to hide from myers and deny him the power which is what you do against him anyway.
🤷♂️
Because GF can only expose the survivor he’s stalking.
Myers could abuse an AFK player for example to get the team.
True but honestly, afk people ah well not sure if that is a valid factor to include. Somebody who is afk in a game shouldn't be in it and no matter how we argue about it, somebody who is afk will punish the team anyway.
Also gf can keep people at 99% and conveniently expose them right before a hit while not having a terrorradius, meanwhile myers without the likes of tinkerer announces mapwide, i have instadown watch out + terro radius when he comes closer.
