A more groovy Legion Rework. Or slap it on a new killer and call it a day.
Rather than having an active ability I thought the legions power should be more, human focused, passive, less punishing to both himself, and the survivors. His power will make use of in game mechanics, namely Bloodlust, it will be as follows:
New Base stats:
Speed
115% | 4.6 m/s
Alternate Terror Radius
12 Metres
Terror Radius
32 metres base
Height
Average
Feral Frenzy is no longer an active ability, but a passive one that activates while gaining Bloodlust in a chase
Outside of a chase The legions terror radius is reduced to 12 meters and The Red Stain is removed, otherwise it is 32 metres, Add Ons can modify this further, Perks can stack with these Add Ons.
During a chase The Legion gains Bloodlust considerably faster than other killers, Bloodlust activates Feral Frenzy
During Feral Frenzy The Legion can: Vault Pallets, but not break them.
The Legion vaults both Pallets and Windows at increased speed (0.9 seconds).
Survivors' Scratch Marks are hidden from The Legion's view while in Bloodlust.
Power Gauge: The Legions Power gauge is replaced by a Bloodlust Timer, gaining Bloodlust much faster than other killers at:
I 5 seconds +0.3
II 10 seconds +0.6
III 20 seconds +1.2
The Legion Does Not lose Bloodlust when performing the following interactions:
Hitting a Survivor.
Breaking a Pallet.
The Legion loses all Bloodlust when performing the following interactions:
Being stunned by a Pallet.
Missing a basic attack.

Blood lust is too finicky to tie to a power

I think it would be a groovy way to integrate Bloodlust into the game a bit more, simple and ez me thinks, gain bloodlust, and Legion can do the thing, but without all the constant mending funky weirdness. The reduced Terror Radius and lack of Redstain outside a chase would help in the early game, set up those spooks namsaiyan. Kinda like using dark devotion on him, I've only seen 2 Legions with it, but when they come up with no Terror Radius they look like a survivor at first, super fun to go against in that way. The lack of an actual active ability, and the use of Bloodlust in this particular way would give an edge to what is at the end of the day, just an m1 killer.

That doesn’t change that blood lust doesn’t really work right now

No discussion? Thought? Straight up no? Even if Bloodlust wasn't bugged and non consistent?

Unfortunately, the devs keep saying they want to remove bloodlust entirely, so tying a power to it seems pretty unlikely.

I have discussed this issue many times and I am tired of discussing it. Legion is not strong and is one of the easiest killers to defeat, this much!

Blood lust is a dated band aid mechanic used to fix literal infinites.
The game should move away from blood lust as a mechanic, not towards it.

Bloodlust rewards the killer for spending too long in a chase.
But it rewards them too little too late. That's why Beast of Prey is such a bad perk.
A killer entirely centralized around Bloodlust? That still sounds so low tier, I would almost call it a nerf. It relies on factors outside the player's control. That's the opposite of what you want for a playable character.

With current Bloodlust maybe, but then again, theres also no reason why a survivor, or a loop for that matter, should be strong enough to make a chase last so long in the first place. Then again with the change he'd only need chase for 5 seconds to gain most benefits, most chases last about 30 seconds.
Maybe if we made Legion walk at survivor speed 56.5% with no terror radius, crouch like one with ctrl, sprint like one with the feral frenzy and gaining a terror radius while doing so, or in chase, lets say sprinting at 105%, Tier 1 Myers speed, while keeping the ability to vault windows and pallets, he could be strong, and scary. Now that I think about it, that sounds way better. I like it more actually. Legion would also get the ability to T-bag, That'd put em in Pig and Ghost Face Tier.
