The Legion needs a QoL buff

Hello, I am sure this has been brought up many times in one form or another but it's something that would be a great improvement to the killer.

At the current state the Legion is in an alright position but unfortunately to play legion you need a lot of patience and are able to accept the feeling that most players if optimal will walk right over this killer. So let's begin:


Feral Frenzy:

For a power this is extremely weak and when compared to other powers it really shows how weak it is. It lacks lethality which is the main problem. Most of the killers in the game their power are all used effectively to down a survivor, but unfortunately for the legion all they can do is injure (No addons) While they shine best at injuring survivors that is not what is going to win the game for them. On top of not only lacking any lethality but no matter how well you use your power you are harshly punished with a 4 second fatigue period. You receive this fatigue no matter how your power ends. End it manually? 4 seconds, use the entire thing? 4 seconds, use the tiniest portion of it then end manually? 4 seconds. It's ridiculous how much you're punished for using the power, which is what makes each killer unique. Another is is the speed of Feral Frenzy. While it is fast I do think it deserves to be increased just a little bit. Survivors shouldn't be able to hold w and outrun you. On top of all of these issues the legion is also punished harshly for missed feral slash attacks, I mean really you lose your entire power and are cancelled out for missing 1 attack. Why aren't other killers punished like this?

Changes:

  • Decrease the fatigue period from 4 -> 3 seconds
  • Missing an attack in feral frenzy no longer cancels the power but will remove 25% of the remaining gauge
  • Hitting a survivor with a regular attack depletes the power gauge by 25% instead of 50%
  • Increase movement speed while in feral frenzy. (Not sure what would be appropriate without making it too fast so please do suggest)

The Legion Add-ons: So many of the Legions addons are completely useless or extremely weak for what tier they are. Some need a buff and some need a complete rework.

Changes:

  • Frank's Mixtape rework
  • Stab Wounds Study rework
  • Susie's Mixtape, Never-Sleep Pills and Friendship bracelet rework
  • Defaced smiley pin; increase mangled effect on killer instinct hits to 90 seconds from 60 seconds.

Deep Wound: One of the key elements of the Legion is their ability to put survivors into the deep wound state and sadly right now the state is seen as nothing but a joke. There is nothing threatening about the state and you never feel like you're actually in danger.

Changes:

  • Whilst in the deep wound state survivors cannot perform repair actions

Please feel free to let me know your thoughts or any suggestions to what i have said. Also this is probably sounded very biased because I main legion so sorry woops
