Getting Legion Back to 2v8

I was thinking ways to get Legion back to 2v8 and I came up with this.

  1. Make it so that Legion needs only two frenzy hits to be able to down hurt survivor with the third while in power. If hitting fully health one that survivor becomes injured and Legion is brought out of power
  2. Make his running speed be set so it does not increase after getting a Frenzy hit. Something more like he is faster than normal moving but still not zooming around with it.
  3. Remove the Deep Wound from his Frenzy Hits
  4. Make his killer instinct area smaller to fit more with the new power.
  5. Adjust the Frenzy timer to not be really that long when starting or in between hits to fit the new changes
  6. Adjust the stun timer after canceling power or missing a hit fit the new changes

I am suggesting of making Legion in 2v8 to be more of a quick tapper of people and not running all over map to hit survivors to them to be in Deep Wound. This way he would not be that oppressive but still would be quite fun and deadly to play in 2v8. Removing the Deep Wound remove the main frustration most people had with him in the mode as the Deep Wound removal wasted so much time. I am not going to go to numbers with this suggestion just providing maybe quite decent outline of how his power should work in the mode to make it good fit.

Like Behavior in his case went the wrong way to increase his powers when in reality I feel like you need to go the other way with him to make him fit the mode better.

    All totally reasonable suggestions. Making them stronger in the 1V1 is the way to go, imo (I'd throw Iri button into the mix too for breaking pallets and supporting the other Killer).

    But let's face it, the noisiest 2V8 gate keepers will shoot down any version of this character. It does not matter to these people what BHVR do because they'll never change their opinion. Plus, the devs don't want to lose face by putting them back into the mode so it's not gonna happen any time soon (if at all).

    Yeah the idea is that if the survivors are close together he would get value out of his power but if they aren't he is not going to get those three injuries. Like his powers timer is meant to be quick not last that long but as I say I am not going to start saying any times because it would need real testing what works and what does not.
