Do you think Michael Myers needs a rework?
Myers had his last relevant update in patch 3.3.1 being one of the most forgotten killers by the devs, myers is currently not a strong killer, he is a weak killer with very strong addons

Do you think buffing your base kit and nerfing some strong addons would be enough?

He only has a couple useful addons also. I do feel he is quite weak but someone more fun than Trapper. He usually can kill 1 survivor by hand, so there's never a 4 player exit with a Myers unless he wants that to happen. Wiping all 4 requires one of two builds however. And he offers very little replayability. I enjoy Myers, he's one of my mains. He's also annoying to face or alot of fun to face.

Since Myers makes no noise at all, he's fun to stalk and hit with. Some people get distracted as Myers. Myers stuck in EW1 is supposed to guard gens since he'll have no bloodrush, no speed. Myers in EW2 and EW3 is supposed to chase, problem is he will instant kill people who aren't paying attention or frustrate others who never saw him coming as the result of poor team mates. As they have implemented a gen kick limit, all Myers has is addons. And most people will not buy or play this killer because of this. I completely agree his base kit needs a buff. And the nerf to Save the Best for Last means Myers only has Play With Your Food and his addons are atrocious. Unfortunate.

I personally have fun with Myers, I've had dumb team mates that feed of course as survivor and that's not fun for anyone... But as a Myers main, I feel he could use some buff but tapered. If a Myers has fully stalked someone, its quite bad as the game can never be recovered if he doesn't snag a kill. His addons however show who might also be cheating though.

Vanity Mirror instead of Scratched Mirror is a good example of a cheater if he's ,"finding," people. Most cheaters have no idea how the addons work or how to apply them properly as they've never played these killers vanilla. There is a way to play Vanity Mirror.

As a Mikey main I don't feel he's in a terrible place. There are just some things about his kit that feel very outdated and uncomfortable/unfun. The stalk cap needs to go it feels so awful and old fashioned and like a band-aid solution for his power. Also feel like if his stalk cap goes away that the time he is able to stay in Tier 3 should diminish greatly. Myers is kind of unique in that he starts off really weak and then can build into the most dangerous Killer in the game with his insta down M1s. I never get tired of attaining the power and building tiers, but it really sucks that as soon as he's out of juice the fear of him is just gone... and it's really easy to run out of juice. It's also not something that is explained in his power so new players struggle with him a lot.

His add-ons need a huge rework though. Almost every single one needs a balance pass and a redesign for them to be more interesting like modern add-ons without completely breaking the match. Tombstone and the achievements associated with it, as it is, has to go. Period. Until it does BHVR can't do anything to improve his add-ons or kit. Same goes with Tuft of Hair. It's my favorite Mikey add-on (as well as many other Mikeys, for good reason given the stalk cap) but it's way too strong. So much so that it entirely defines if a Mikey is dangerous or not.

My biggest issue with Mikey though isn't exactly on the surface. The way his scoring events are handled and the nature of his non-interactive kit until he is dangerous enough to kill means that most everyone in a Mikey match (including Mikey) almost always depip if they lose, blank pip if they win/do well, and barely get any points. After years of playing Mikey I've found that I end up playing against the score more than I play against the Survivors. I'm always going to win especially if I have Tuft of Hair so the match becomes about how to not win so fast that I end up with blank pips, below 20k points or DCs. His scoring events need a serious update and his kit and add-ons need to be re-examined so that Mikey matches don't remain as scoring potholes.

I don't think he needs a rework, his kit has always been one of the most enjoyable to face according to a lot of survivors, and one of the most enjoyable to play for me and many others. If anything was to change, it would be how much he can stalk someone before his power becomes unusable, and a few other minor number values to just make him more in line with modern killer designs.

100%.

Maybe not DELETE though, but make it refill if you're stalking other people, just so you can't find a weak link and supercharge yourself every time?
At least that way, you won't have an incentive to end / tunnel people that are dry, and if there's only one person left, they could still run Myer's out of juice

Shouldnt be any form of tombstone or tombstone piece in the game. Rest of him really doesnt matter.

Stomps pubs regardless.

Doesnt need changes for SWFs

It's shocking how dirty they've done Myers and Freddy. I bought them both because they are the biggest horror icons in this horror game, and the devs made them so bad that you rarely see a Myers, and never see a Freddy.

They should be embarrassed.

He just needs some QOL improvements otherwise he’s a solid m1 killer.
Plomb Rouge Feb 7, 2024 @ 11:54am 
I actually enjoy him the way he is but he's definitely way too weak and feels clunky.
Imo P1 Myers is the peak of how DbD experience should feel: you don't see him coming, he has short range and cannot one-shot you. It's not unfair but definitely scary and you WILL facecheck him at some point.
I'm not sure he needs a full rework but he needs changes that's for sure, the fact he can oneshot survivors with the tombstone also is quite troll/funny but also infuriating sometimes and should probably not be a thing.

Nope, only addon changes, so sick from tombstone and forever exposed

mikey is verry strong one of the only kilelrs who can kill survivors with out even hooking or downing them scrached mirror myers is verry strong he is theo nly one wh ocan stop ppl from body blocking him once he is in tier 3 carrying some one unlike his little brother ghostface who cant stop ppl from body blocking him with his power m years is in noway weak he is perfect way he is thats why they didnt mess wit him so much just lil tweaks dont mess with what ant broke you may not be good with myers but he is fine
Hot 4 Myers Feb 7, 2024 @ 2:51pm 
He could do with a bit of a model update, just a few tweaks to make him look a bit newer. A shirtless skin would also be nice.

He's still my favourite killer to play, his Scratched Mirror build is brilliant fun, both to play as and against. I think his mechanics are still pretty decent and I think if he gets put up for a rework, I fear the outcome will be a nerf somehow lol

Michael Myers is a killer that in theory should be really fun to play against as a survivor, but his add-ons just wreck him completely, Tombstone specifically just makes him a total nightmare to play against. I wouldn't mind other aspects of him being buffed or reworked if Tombstone got completely retooled or even removed. It's the least fun part of playing against him by a huge margin. Which is a shame because I really like him otherwise.
