Boons have killed Jump Scare Myers

Started a scratched mirror Myers game on Lerys. Within 20 seconds a boon is up. I'm trying to stalk through the walls, not seeing anyone. Shadow Step boon is up, ok. Cool guess ill play at 105 speed with no power lmao. Hit someone, off to the boon they go. I snuff the boon, it's back up within a minute every time. One of the scarier roles in the game and last remaining feel of horror fun to play and play against becomes a joke.
Like can we just acknowledge how much fun has been sapped from the killer experience from these boon totems?? CoH 99% obviously but I forgot that Shadow Step makes aura reading impossible. I don't mind Shadow Step normally but in this case it was annoying as it totally countered my add on. Really wish they'd put a cool down on these things because they are LAME to go against.
How often do you guys go against a scratched mirror Myers anymore?

It killed any hit and run, you just got to live with it honestly, as a nerf seems nowhere near.
As a Mikey main I agree. I haven't done scratched mirror nearly as much as I used to because of the damn boons.
I haven't had many issues playing scratched mirror recently but I do think that Michael should get a bit of leeway when using it. On top of being able to see through boons I think that any map offering he brings should take priority over all others. It really is one of the last few remaining ways to make this game scary.
Boons were a mistake and felt forced/rushed.
And not just COH.
Just get the god roll on getting matched with terrible solos who don't have boons.
I dislike so much this addon playstyle. It's just so boring.
1) You will get send to indoor map (Lerry's the most)
2) You will get find no metter what.
3) You get either hit or he will leave you because he can't chase you.
4) If he hits you, just run to a pallet and he will leave.
5) Repeat
Usualy it is super slow game as well since he just patrol gens and no real chases. It is not scary but boring. Glad I didn't saw him for ages by now.
Yeah, I'm glad this playstyle is less viable. Might've been fun the first few times I played against a spooky Myers on Lerys, but the gameplay gets tedious and drawn-out very quickly.
Eh, Scratched Mirror was never very good before boons either. The fact it requires a map offering to even have a chance at winning makes it pretty bad.
Wait for new hemorraghe system it will counter boon easily 😉
Reminder: unfortunately, any and all play styles on both sides can and will be changed or destroyed at anytime during development.
I loved playing Old Freddy for example,... its just how game dev goes.
Cause you get sooo often someone with Shadowstep, right? I dont even know the last time i saw a survivor with shadowstep.
Boons have killed the game, period. Another nail in the killer coffin.
Not talking about shadowstep. It's circle of healing. Scratched mirror relies on surprise attacks. It's a jump scare build not a chaser build. That's why it's called jump scare Myers.
The fact boons now allow survivors constant free and quick healing ruined it.
Why should you map offering take priority when you are relaying on a map to carry you? I get that he is not a chase killer in this state but like if you relay on the map then this strategy is not viable. As a survivor and I think killer you have offerings that black map offerings all together. Also if you let Michael have priority then Ghost face and every other killer is going to want that treatment as well (I say ghosty cause he does better on some maps and worse on others). Then survivors will cry because their map offerings are being ignored and that is not fair. Scratched Mirror Myre's is not viable in this meta because of boons. It may be time to change his addon to make it better. Seeing through Shadow step with the addon's ability only could help.
Hmm, you didn’t disclose if you brought the Lery’s map offering or not. Did someone’s little plan possibly get foiled?
Shadowstep is a very niche perk. 9 times outta 10 survivors will always bring COH by itself. But yeah I have played scratched mirror myers myself against it and it was a miserable time. But just be aware that COH will be the most brought boon and you rarely see other boons alongside of it.
Uhm yes you always bring a map offering when playing Scratched Mirror Myers unless you wanna get destroyed.
So in this case, you got destroyed instead of having every aspect of your desired trial going as planned. Don’t see the problem here.
Scratched mirror is a meme build with plenty of counters. That's why it's map dependant. It's meant for fun not for sweating a win like Alchemist ring Blight or something.
Aw I use it lol i actually find it more useful than CoH, I rather have a good medkit than run across the map to heal myself, even tho its just a 24 mt range, your chances of winning a chase/losing the killer increases so much in that small space
COH just got a fat nerf. Jump scare Mikey just got back in the game 🙂
Than you dont know how to scare them at all. If you know theres a CoH its an easy target, cause they always fall back towards it.
Yeah say that when 3-4 of them are running the perk, and have multiples around the map.
Which happens like once in a lifetime?
You must be playing in low MMR if you only get lobbys with one boon.
Competent survivors laugh at Mirror myers
105% movement speed turns basically anything into a psudeo infinite, it's hilarious. You can run a mirror myers around a z wall for ages
If you're running with a mirror Myers then the Myers is playing the build all wrong. Its not a chase build. Its a surprise attack build. Hence the label jump scare Myers.
Even on indoor maps, survivors who pay attention will basically never go down to a mirror myers. Sometimes he'll get a free hit in but yeah
Unless you can see through walls and spot him he'll get a hit. Spine chill is the only true counter to it and even then a competent Myers can overcome that by looking sideways when approaching. That's how I do it and it usually always works.
What I do when I know it's a mirror myers is I just always assume I'm visible to the killer so I just work on gens and never stray too far from virtually anything I can run around. Even if it's the worst pallet in the game a mirror myers will take a while to catch up and hit me around it
