Can the devs revert the Legion changes from the 2.7.0 update?

Since everything about the Legion is fixed now, Deep Wounds and they have some counterplay, can devs just change them into the pre 2.7.0 Legion, with a somewhat lethal power? Just keep some buffs that you gave them and revert the nerfs.

For example, cooldown set to 15 seconds, stun set to 3 seconds, power can be used after 2 seconds (or how long it was). Feral Frenzy actually doing something to an injured Survivor, decreasing the DW timer by 10 seconds for each hit in FF.

Keep the penalty when missing an attack, increase the penalty when hitting a survivor outside of FF like it was (100%). And some other things.

So they can be a staby gang again.

Bringing back old legion isn't the solution. Feral frenzy decreasing DW timer makes them uncounterable but still weak.

Legion just needs an entire rework.

Deep Wounds is honestly a bad mechanic and it should not be tied to a killer, take this from a Legion main himself; I do not want buffs to Legion, I want a complete rework.

That won't be happening. The old Legion didn't offer any counterplay or require any skill to play, so each chase was more or less on a timer where you were guaranteed to go down regardless of how well you played. That's not something we want to bring back.

But in a livestream the devs also said once that survivors should not be able to loop a killer for 5 gens? So basicly on any killer survivors should die at some point.. doesnt matter how well they play.

Ok, I understand, but can you make something about the current Legion? At least reducing the awful stun to 3 seconds maybe? And reworking almost every addon?

It's unfortunate, but Legion and Deep Wound, to a lesser extent, were giant mistakes. More specifically, they married Legion's power to the Deep Wound mechanic. What we have now with Legion is the best they could probably do without completely reworking the killer or Deep Wound. It's likely a matter of development resources. I would imagine it's extremely costly to redesign a killer this long after the original release because you're likely only generating cosmetic revenue from them at this point.

I would love to see a change like that. It didnt require that much skill but it was fun as hell! And to be fare, Leatherface, Wraith and Clown doesnt requiere that much skill aswell.
