Little QoL improvement for Myers
I think it would be less annoying as Myers to activate his next EW tier by pressing a button, instead of increasing the tier automatically. It should work like Oni's power, whenever Oni absorbed the needed amount of blood. The reasons why I'd love to see it are:
1) You wouldn't activate EW 3 by accident anymore
99ing your power is a huge thing. Whenever a survivor is far away or runs in a safe area, you can still stalk them. But let's say you stalked someone for too long and EW 3 pops up. Now you're able to instadown survivors for the next few seconds. Cool. But your target is still pretty safe because of the long distance, palettes, etc. Maybe there aren't even gens to defent. Not cool. So you start to look for a more vulnerable survivor... while you have to bother with a 32 meter warning, which can be notified from everyone. Even that one Dwight in the most hidden locker can hear it loud and clear. Not so cool.
2) Myers will not be slowed down for a moment
This one sounds may meaningless but here's my point. Did you ever got stuck on something during a chase? Even just for a split second? This could potentially make the difference between stunning the killer with no damage or getting hit through a palette. It's pretty much the same with Myers, whenever he stalks the rest of someone during a loop. His movement speed is always tremendously reduced while he's stalking. Even when you already 99ed your power, so there's only one cute pixel left to begin EW 3. So you're like "ok, this will gonna be a hard one but I'm close enough." Nope, you were perhaps close enough. Before you slowed down yourself to enter EW 3. All what you hear is a falling palette combined with a heartbreaking UHHHhhhhh.
3) The missing collision leads to weird situations
As soon as Ghostface or Myers start stalking, both of them lose their collision. The purpose behind this mechanic is to prevent unfair scenarios, where Myers holds you in a corner and easily stalks you to death. However, it causes sometimes a weird problem. Imagine you find a Meg. Good. You already 99ed your EW 2 thanks to one of her mates. Even better. After a while you're close enough to hit the survivor, but at first you're starting a little stalk to get your EW 3. The Meg, who thinks you would just hurt her, tries to dodge your attack and attempts a spin. But wait... you can't see Meg anymore. Where did she go? Well, she's now inside you. What? At the moment, where you have started your ability, Meg was able to go through your missing collision. At first you'll most likely be confused and start to look left and right... without realizing that Meg is right behind you. Yeah, survivors are never trapped inside you and it doesn't happen often. Unfortunately it can happen. Besides that, I already mentioned in the introduction that Oni has already a similar button to activate his power. So it should definitely be possible to code it for Myers.
Btw. If someone made already a similar post, I'm really sorry, but I didn't find anything.
TL;DR
Myers should get a button to increase his next EW tier, similar to Oni
