i cannot emphasise enough: this is still a long long way away.
Like please do not go “when is myers rework???”
this could easily go into year 9. Hell, it most certainly will.

finally, the tombstone myers days are over. presumably. in 2 years.
Don't ruin him, he's one of the most fun killers in the game.
Blight, Freddy, Twins and Billy are already on the list.
Probably it will be around March~July 2024 I guess.
Considering that Twins, Freddy and Blight will get some changes before that, I'd say it's more likely to happen in year 10. If at all.
1 1/2 years have passed since they confirmed that Twins would get a rework and so far... Skull Merchant has been reworked. Twice. And Sadako.
Interesting how the priorities changed on this. Twins were supposed to be the next killer after Legion and Ghostface to receive a rework.
It's gonna be a huge nerf which is a win for survivors. They'll delete tombstones, the wall hack build, increased lunge and faster vaults.
In return he'll receive more meme perks, the same base evil build function, and brown perks with iridescent colors. Take nurse for example and Billy. Look at the "updates" they got.
Nurse is still nurse tho!
Bhvr: Yeah we are reworking Mayers, just wait we finish twins and then we can work for a few years on mayers.
As long as the re-work doesn't take away the jumpscare Myers build. Still the most fun I have in this game, stalk through walls, wait, wait, wait... strike.
I've been a loyal Mikey main since 2017. Please do not mess my boy up on this one, Bhvr.
Sorry to be the party breaker, but I wouldn't get hyped at all since this is probably like 1-2+ years ahead.
Also Freddy should be first imo. He is more trash than him.
At least five other people in here have said this. Including the person who created this topic. You're hardly the party breaker lol.
I think even later. Twins are early 2024 and I doubt that they will really squeeze Blight and Freddy before Twins.
But would be nice if he gets Updates. Myers is the prime example of an outdated design. When I started playing, players rated him as an A-Tier Killer, nowadays he is among the weakest Killers. And yet he has some of the most broken things with Tombstones and Unlimited Evil.
He deserves some Buffs and also his broken Add Ons should be nerfed/reworked.
they better not touch jumpscare myers, I will riot
His only add on that they need to remove is tombstone piece.
yes please, I hate that thing so much. they should make it so it only works in endgame so gate waiters can get bloodwarden'd
I hope not. I love Myers and have never used the tombstone, but knowing it exists makes Myers scary. GF's power is superior in almost every way, but Myers is scarier. It's a tradition, Myers might be planning to just murder you, be careful.
If it's done a whole lot and I don't realize that, I'd understand. It's not really fair, but I think it should happen so rarely everyone's cool with it. If everyone's doing it, that's removing the spectacle and just leaving the unfairness. If that is or becomes an issue, I'd want it fixed.
I just hate to see things like that go. When you're telling your friends they should try DBD, that's the kind of example of excitement you might mention. "Myers can just straight-murder people! Ya gotta try this crazy game of horror-murder excitement!"
That's the kinda thing I say, anyway.
yeah lol. I think it'd be cool if tombstone piece only worked in endgame. so i can slaughter th gate waiters. get bloodwarden'd ya goofs.
As much as I love Meyers as is, I gotta say, its about time. Its really dumb that for most of the time, all Meyers either run infinite T3 or tombstone piece. Im not blaming them, because he is so weak compared to other killers, but Im excited to see what BHVR has planned for him. I hope they keep the mirror add-ons, though.
I can't even remember the last time I played against a Myers who didn't have one of those two addons. Realistically they'll probably destroy his OP addons and buff him to C tier at best.
If they haven't even created a design yet I'm thinking it'll be a year from now before this comes to fruition.
unlimited evil within 3 is not that much different then base-kit myer's. unlimited EV3 myer's vs fast generator teams feels like 3 gen killer because your spending time stalking to reach EV3 so you can avoid dealing with health-states but your not applying any pressure. the loss of incentive to heal makes generators go by faster but your chasing capacity towards pallet looping barely improves at base-kit. the vaulting speed disincentives survivors to stay near windows so survivor end up taking less risk and pre-drop pallets. pure m1 killers vs strong pallets results in pallet break simulator.
mori myer's is definitely up there with stronger killers in the game but the way match feels is very opposite to how you would expect a myer's match to go. it is not very stealthy. it is very brute-force heavy. mori add-on makes myer's power relevant and fun to use but I do not like his mori because there is lack of strategy in his using his mori. at the same time, mori myer is very first time of an attempt to make a mori-based killer. as a result, I do not agree with removal those add-on's. they might just end up integrate the mori in his base-kit and making that his default gameplay.
his early days of perceived strength likely comes from instant down+camping. It is little bit like original leatherface. that is my thoughts on it. at the same time, you might just play leatherface or original billy at that point in time if you wanted to instant down camp
It could take a while if they try to completely rework him. I'm hoping they just modify his existing kit.
I'm guessing he's going to get some basekit improvements coupled with nerfs to his more extreme add-ons. I wonder if he would be better if he got a toned version of scratch mirror's aura reading incorporating into his basekit. It would seriously amplify his stealth potential whilst keeping him as a strictly stealth killer. I don't want rush-down Myers unless he has a chainsaw.
Nice to see them acknowledge that he needs changes, but I don’t see this happening in the next year or two.
Especially if we get another Skull Merchant situation where he gets de-prioritised like Freddy.
I hope it’s a visual update as well. I also hope they base his mechanical update around Scratched Mirror by making the add-on base-kit and reworking everything else. Unlimited Tier 3 is fine but Mori’ing survivors should only be allowed on death hook.
when isn't myers rework
He doesnt need a complete rework, he just needs a add-on pass with tombstone piece removed and maybe a few things extra in his basekit.
