Why do people get so haughty when Myers gets his power?
"Why were you feeding him? Just stay out of sight dumb dumb. THIS IS EVERYONES FAULT BUT MINE!"- salty survivor main
He can spot your shoulder and get stalk. There's also the fact that you can run in circles all you want but eventually he will catch up.
Even Burgerking Myers can use level geometry to math his way into you.

Probably because he's the only killer who says "hey your teammates were bad, but you get exposed for it". Then he's stronger in chase against you because he gets extra lunge range and vaults windows faster in tier 3. You can be avoiding him for the whole match so far, but then, eventually, he finds you and you're on the receiving end of his tier 3 even though he never saw you until now.
Not saying everyone who says that is free of blame, a lot of player will blame everyone but themselves when it is in fact their fault. But it is also valid in a lot of matches. Insults should stay out of it of course.
Hard to know as a survivor whether he's even around you or not, let alone stalking you, given Myers pretty much non-existent TR and the fact that every Myers and their grandma runs either dead rabbit, M&A, or both to make it even worse. Breathing can be covered up by other sounds in some cases as well.
tl;dr Myers power feels extremely bad to be on the receiving end of if you believe you've been denying him stalk off you most the match, whether its true or not.
I'd say something useful but @MrPenguin has already hit the home run. I know when I play Myers, it is rare that the survivor who got me to 99% Stabby is the one who ultimates takes the stabby.
Its even better when what your on the receiving end is a tomestone, lol.
Even still. It's his main power regardless of how it effects you. And stalking can be done at a good distance.
Although people perfectly justify a Billy zooming in and spawn killing you with zero build up.
Expecting every other survivor to perfectly avoid the killer at all times is absurd.
Strangely the 1st survivor who get stalked is the safest one in the trial. You can feed him to almost Tier3 and you're no more stalkable, leaving other 3 always get exposed.
Its the whole purpose of his mechanic with Laurie OoO though (gets killer's attention but will not be killed, Killer kills anyone except Laurie to gain more power) and I think the idea is genius.
See, this is why I absolutely adore the Halloween chapter. As much as I'm not a fan of Laurie's perks, her and Michael's design capture the feeling of the license and translate it into Dead by Daylight almost perfectly.
It's too bad that level of care and devotion to detail to the source material didn't continue with other licensed chapters, but you can't win all the time.
Because it's tough when you feel like you get punished for someone else's error.
It's easy to get upset when the Michael you've never seen (or worse yet, have seen and denied him Tier 1) uses his 99%'d stalk meter to instadown you. And even if you were responsible for feeding the Michael, feeling/thinking that you're punished purely for the error of others sucks.
Obviously, that's no excuse to insult someone else, but that's the reason why people do it.
