IDEAS TO THE LEGION (BUFF AND NERF) - 2 WAYS TO PLAY IT

There are 2 ways to play the legion:

  • Use the trihard power and knock down the survivor with 4 strokes (boring and should be nerf)
  • Use the power in a survivor to look for others with "killer instinct" and hit the possible, you stay with a survivor, cancel the power near the survivor and knock down the M1 (This form should be Buff)

I propose the following changes:

1- increase the base speed from 4.4 to 4.5, that is, not so little, or as much as the best.
2- You can not reduce the "borrowed" bar with the second stroke.
3- The consecutive chains to different survivors reduce the bar by 33%, so that if you catch the 4th survives, it falls to the ground directly, there will be an addon that will cause you to fall to the third, because the bar is reduced by 50% with each chaining
4- Each time you stab someone, the duration of the power and the speed of movement increase.
5- Skip windows or pales reduces the power bar by 25%, so that playing with pales and windows makes sense, reducible with addons.

    I don't think the base speed should be increased. I would prefer to see them balanced around their ability.

    2- You can not reduce the "borrowed" bar with the second stroke.

    This makes exactly 0 sense. Why would stabbing someone do no damage? If anything, I think this should be increased, but short of making it take less total hits.

    3- The consecutive chains to different survivors reduce the bar by 33%, so that if you catch the 4th survives, it falls to the ground directly, there will be an addon that will cause you to fall to the third, because the bar is reduced by 50% with each chaining

    This is probably the least balanced part of your suggestion. On the one hand, the frenzy duration is too short to successfully chain attacks. (I'll address #4 in a sec) But if they made it so that Legion actually could realistically chain attacks on all 4 survivors then the last survivor is completely screwed due to no fault of their own and the whole team is injured/mending. The snowball would be insane.

    4- Each time you stab someone, the duration of the power and the speed of movement increase.

    On this, you and I agree. I support this change independent of everything else you've suggested. I don't necessarily think it should go up with each one hit, but I do think that the frenzy meter should 'overcharge' with a successful attack against a survivor not suffering from Deep Wounds. This would give Legion more incentive to change targets, but wouldn't be oppressive.

    5- Skip windows or pales reduces the power bar by 25%, so that playing with pales and windows makes sense, reducible with addons.

    Your numbers are way off. 25% is insane. Especially since one of survivors favorite tricks is to immediately turn around and jump back over a pallet or window they just vaulted. Although, I do take your point that this would allow survivors more counterplay. Depending on whatever else Legion winds up getting, something like this might be reasonable. It would have to be more in the 10% range though.

    1. Nah, their base movement speed is good, only their power should get a some rework.
    2. Nah, it would be only the worse.
    3. I don't think that way of using feral frenzy should be rewarded like that.
    4. I agree, but it should be like 25% for the movement and duration, It is really hard sometimes to hit the second survivor from 40 meters, since your power can just end very fast.
    5. Nope, It's good as it is.

    They must rewards fours strikes...
