The Shape Rework

As a Prestige 100 Shape main who has actively played and enjoyed the character ever since the DLC's release, this rework arrived with drastical changes for our beloved Michael.

First things first, I'd like to state that I firmly believe The Shape is yet to achieve a reputation that'd practically make survivors tremble. Now he partially had it with the Tombstone builds, despite the fact that they were quite op, they induced FEAR into survivors because what they are facing had STRONG potential.

With both Infinite Tier 3 and Tombstone builds now gone forever, that fraction of "fearsome authority" Michael had has now vanished into the fog too. With his new absurd power.

Now don't get me wrong, I am absolutely in love with the mechanic that allows us to switch between Tier 1-2 and activate 3 at our command. That is frankly fantastic. What I despise is the Slaughtering Strike ability. The ability that supposedly and essentially still grants him the fearsome authority with the instadown.

Oh who am I joking to; an ability easily dodgeable and so difficult to navigate that survivors toy with the killer than tremble and lock in as they did when they were facing the good ol' instadown tier 3 Myers.

These are my personal opinions entirely and I'd like to know what the fellow DBD community thinks to basically ascertain my concerns in a way.
