Buffs on Myers Rework (If it stays as it is on the PTB)

1. Buffs in Evil Within (Tier 3)
Currently, in Pursuer mode Myers receives:

  • +10% lunge distance
  • +15% vault speed through windows
  • +10% endurance
  • +10% Brutal Strength effect

However, when Evil Within (Tier 3) is activated, these bonuses should feel much stronger and more distinct from Pursuer mode. Suggested values:

  • Lunge: +20%
  • Vault speed: +25%
  • Endurance: +20%

I believe giving Myers basekit Brutal Strength in Tier 3 might be excessive, but these improved values would make Tier 3 truly impactful again.

2. Power Activation
The current knife inspection animation slows down the gameplay flow, especially when using Fragrant Tuft of Hair, which is supposed to replicate the old Tier 3.

  • Previously, Myers could “99%” his meter and instantly trigger Evil Within.
  • Now, with progress decaying by 50% when not stalking, that strategy is no longer possible.

Suggestions:

  • Fragrant Tuft of Hair should allow for instant activation.
  • The dash activation should be slightly faster so it doesn’t break chase momentum.

3. Slaughtering Strike
Right now, the dash feels too stiff and unresponsive:

  • Turning is awkward, since the camera often locks against walls.
  • The charge-up feels sluggish.

Suggestions:

  • Improve camera responsiveness, allowing smoother curves.
  • Slightly reduce charge-up time.
  • Alternatively, if the dash speed were raised to 7.1 m/s, this alone could make a major difference, potentially removing the need for faster charge-up.

4. Duration of Evil Within
The base duration should return to 60 seconds instead of 40:

  • 40 seconds feels too restrictive and limits creative plays.
  • Judith’s Tombstone should also have a 60-second limit instead of 40, to ensure the add-on can be used effectively.

Additionally, the basekit Tombstone Piece currently consumes Evil Within time during the mori animation. A much healthier change would be to pause the timer during the animation, since at that point survivors are already on death hook.

5. Add-ons
Some add-ons don’t feel balanced compared to their rarity. For example, Lock of Hair:

  • Its benefit only works if Evil Within is canceled early.
  • If canceled near the end, it only provides ~10–25% stalk, which is negligible given Myers’ faster stalk rate today.

This should be reworked to have more meaningful impact as a purple-tier add-on.

Conclusion
Myers is my main, and while I do agree his rework was necessary, the dash mechanic feels out of place for him. In fact, it would be a much better fit for Ghostface.

Thank you for reading my feedback.
