hello, I am new here but I also have been playing dead by daylight for quite a bit, one of the killers I like to play as is legion, and I understand that they have recently buffed him, which is a start for him, but it has been said recently that unbound (if I'm correct atleast) was NOT meant to work for legion's vault or any killer power vault, I understand this. However legion benefits this perk ALOT compared to any other power vault killer due to the 10% compared to its original 5%, and if it ever gets reverted where it wouldn't work for power vaults I feel like it would shadow Nerf legion in a way, because using unbound grants legion better speed in fatigue and in chase.

That's is what I'm getting at, legion in a 1v1 scenario lacks any resource outside of power canceling, which would take longer than an M1 chase if you can't zone them properly or don't have ire button, I understand legion was meant as 1v4 type of killer, allowing for quick injures and pressuring the team quickly, the issue with that is to utilize this he would need to down, which he can't often because more likely than not as legion, using your power in chase (unless you have certain add ons or perks for example) is more risky and can only get you so far.

He is very weak in chase and while the buffs are a start, they aren't going to be enough, the buffs I want will maybe allow less of a "mending simulator" and allow legion to chase sed survivor instead of a faster hit and run strategy.

increase legion's speed in fatigue

legion's current speed is a x0.5 of his base movement speed, while yes this makes sense, you can't enter fatigue while in base speed WITHOUT an add on, so let's increase his speed in fatigue, I do not want his fatigue duration to be lowered because if that was done, even by -0.3, it could cause him to be oppressive overall, and I like 2.5 because it gives enough time for survivors to react while also making sure they act fast against him, if not they will be punished, a speed increase of 2.6 while in fatigue seems to be a good spot, the maximum it could be increased would be 2.7, otherwise it would be just a power canceling game, which isn't fun for both parties.

The reason I want his speed increased is too allow him to have some anti-loop on longer tiles but for shorter ones to be out of reach, this forces survivors to chain tiles but isn't a guarantee down or injure, yes I do like the current fatigue speed compared to originally, but it still needs a buff to be viable without perks like unbound.

increase feral frenzy's duration

this is something that was also done, and if you couldn't tell, what they did was a good start, but his kit still needs buffs.

The duration should be increased to another second, 12 seconds of feral frenzy allows him to be able to chain hit easier, which is what he was meant for, and also allows more mobility, allowing him to quickly find a survivor, this essentially makes mischief list basekit, I don't think it needs to be nerfed or adjusted to compensate with these buffs because I think 1 second add on for duration seems fine.

Due to the larger maps and also maps with two floors, this buff helps legion get across maps and he wouldn't be as map dependent on smaller ones compared to before.

allow legion to see pools of blood during frenzy

this is a small buff, but it was one that got removed forever long ago, which considering the current perks, should be brought back, I do not believe whatsoever he should see scratch marks at all (if you already see a survivor, scratch marks aren't as helpful in frenzy anyway).

This should be brought back mainly because it never was an issue with legion, and it could technically help in certain scenarios but is otherwise something that got removed for no reason.

allow his power gauge to be paused while performing a break action (generators and breakable walls)

Alot of people have said it, and I'll said it aswell, make frank's mixtape basekit, (well atleast the power gauge pause).

this gives legion some noticeable utility, and also can consistently be performed, if you're breaking a generator or wall while in power without frank's mixtape, even if sed survivor is quite close to you, the amount of power you would lose would make it an unviable option then just running frank's mixtape.

Thanks for listening to my rant for the buffs I think legion should get, I do think what they did for 8.6.0 was a great start for legion, but it still needs more tuning before making him a more viable killer, and these buffs could also potentially make people who play him to chase down the survivor instead of running away, if you disagree with me or have different types of buffs please let me know, I do like hearing other people's thoughts on this, and again, thank you for listening in!
