Legion Rework - Suggestion
I can safely say that, at least on my part, when Legion was announced and teased to the community, we all expected something totally different than what the finished product was. With the arrival of the twins, there was an interesting concept that was explored that made the killer "feel" like you were up against multiple killers, while in actuality the killer is one person switching bodies (for lack of better explanation). So why not incorporate this concept into the Legion's design?
Here is a 'rough draft' of my idea that I would strongly encourage the developers to consider using this design as I am seeking no credit for this; I would just like to see if incorporated in the game. Picture this: survivors enter a match and notice 3 different legions (suzie, Joey, and julie) who have no red stain or terror radius, but are luring over the areas of the map, menacingly taunting, jeering, and mocking survivors as they try to work on generators. One of them is leaning up against a wall, another is sitting on a railing, and the other perched on a billboard. Frank (killer controlled Legion) is chasing someone else, until suddenly one of the other Legions comes to life (tagging in, sort of speak). The killer saw another survivor with killer instinct of an inactive Legion and body swapped with them, very much like the killer instinct that victor provides to Charlotte. If the killer can land a surprise attack on a survivor, they can manage to inflict a deep wound, then have a cool down before they can body swap again.
Well, what do you think? More like the Legion we were originally expecting?

Having more than 1 Legion would mean completely reworking Legion's entire customization system, as well as changing currently existing cosmetics, some of which were paid for.
Furthermore, trying to swap between 4 people would be a nightmare. I mean, can you imagine how much of a hassle that would be to track, not to mention the button configuration.
Even then, this change doesn't really address any of Legion's issues. That being a poor 1v1 chase when it comes to downing survivors. It's very gimmicky, and would mean transforming Legion into an entirely different killer, something that was only done to Freddy, and many Old Freddy mains hate the New Freddy because it's not the killer they spent countless hours into. A similar thing would happen to current fans of Legion, something that should be avoided however possible.

I wouldn't say poor 1v1 chase, i mean... you will be almost always chasing an injured person, so it's a better chase than clown or pig (yep, she is stealth killer, but let's face it... you won't get a hit with her power as often as with legion)... so i would say, his chase is medium... standard 115% killer, that needs only 1 hit for a down.
