Why Does Michael Myers Suck So Much?

[76561198053951010]

He's like the stalking Legion, in the sense that his stalk hinders him more than helping him.
-Less stalk from farther away.
-Survivors can run into you to not get stalked.
-T1's lunge is non-existant, so there's no point in trying to get spook hits.
-Moves slower than a safe when in T1, and you can't even get Bloodlust so there's no reason to use T1.
-T1's lack of TR and red stain don't matter, since most people run Spine Chill.
-T3 doesn't help in chases, apart from being insta-downs for everyone.
-Takes forever to get to T3, even with both J. Myers Memorial and Memorial Flower.
-Barely any addons are worth running.
-If Survivors crouch under cover, even when you can still see them, they don't get stalked.

At least with Ghostface, you can remove your TR at any moment with a single button press and no hindered lunge or movement speed. Myers can't use T1 in his chases. It is a hindrance.

I thought Michael Myers was supposed to be one of the coolest and scariest Killers in horror history. He's weaker than a fragile grandmother in DBD. I'd propose an entire rework, but I honestly have no clue what could be done to him.

funny considering that for a long ass time the popular opinion was litterally the exact opossite of this

He is the most balanced killer in the game.
Fair and can be very strong when well played.
Fun to play as, fun to play against (u can't say that about a lot of killers).
Requires more than a 2 IQ brain though for sure to perform well consistantly.

yeah pretty much everyone agrees that michael is B-tier

I did think that Michael Myers was great too, at one point. Then I thought about it for a while and played as him more and then my opinion on him being awful came to be.

also you mention his add ons being weak but he is the only killer in the game that can combine perma noed with a mori with just add ons alone

I really don't think he's a balanced Killer. I use the 99% tech, but by the time I'm done popping T3, the Survivor made it to a pallet or a loop and I've basically wasted my power. Why use Myers when I can just run around with no Terror Radius every 30 seconds with no hindrance to lunge or movement speed as Ghostface, along with being much harder to spot than Myers?

Nowadays? No way... He's at C in the best case scenario.

Yes, but it takes forever to get to T3, and if somebody you haven't stalked yet disconnects before you get to T3, you lose. And you lose a lot of movement speed that way, to the point where not using the build with Play With Your Food is like asking to get you shoes tied together before a running race.

i'd agree accept I watch streamers that obliterate the lobby with tier 1 michael lol. He's not the best but i really dont think he's that awful. He just, like most killers, takes practice.

i mean with the dc penalty that is not exactly a common scenario,and even if it DOES happen chances are you are going against a solo survivor

He used to be pretty strong before the Hex:Ruin nerf because Hex:Ruin allowed him to tier up without having to worry about gens. Now the genrush is real in dbd so a lot of the time Myers can't do anything when he gets genrushed. Behavior is trying to nerf genrush but it's taking a while.

It's a shabby alternative to Hex:Ruin. It's mostly good for territorial killers and doesn't actually slow the gens down if you're in a chase and not patrolling.

He doesn't, you can get some good games with him, it takes practice, you won't get any better in just 0.5 hrs of game.

[Nehalennia]

since most people run Spine Chill.

What? Since when?
