Replace Legion's Deep Wound Effect with Broken

I honestly think the Deep Wound state is such a bad mechanic. In every form, it's been some mix of boring or frustrating. I honestly think that if the Legion would just apply the Broken effect for a duration after hit instead, it'd be way better for everyone involved.

As the killer, you feel like chain stabs are actually worth going for, since your damage won't be healed off as soon as you leave for another survivor.

As the survivor, you don't have stand still and hold M1 20 times throughout the match. It actually means something to get hit, as you don't know if the killer is gonna pursue you again before the broken status wears off.

If you wanted to get crazy, you could even put the Broken effect over a survivor icon that the Legion could see, like how Ghostface's exposure works. It'd be kind of fitting because currently Plague is the only killer that has the Broken effect as part of her base kit, meaning Legion could be the alternative; like how GF was to Myers.

    What would happen if Legion hit the survivor again whilst in Feral Frenzy? Would it extend the timer? If so, this perhaps would be a nice addition and gives you a choice of whether to look for others or pursue your target.

    There are already add-ons for that. And the whole point of the power and having survivors mending is to slow down survivors progress and force them to mend or go down. Making them broken would end up in another plague situation where survivors just won't care and will go on to work on generators without a second thought.
