Legion Ability Rework Idea
MY biggest disappointment with The Legion is that it’s called The Legion but you still only have one at a time. If they were going to have just one at a time, they should have just changed the story to show this (one person was one place killing someone while another was another place at the same time). So either change the story (unlikely), change the name (impossible), or change the ability.
My proposition is to get rid of the Frenzy and add in the Friends.
When Legion activates his/her ability, there is a short delay (has to stand still with a charge up) as they “call” or “signal” to the other members of the gang who are waiting. The other up to 3 members of the Legion then appear and go in a random but fixed direction, sprinting with feral frenzy and causing a survivor to go into the borrowed time/mend timer. The number of members summoned goes from 1 to 3 as the power guage fills up with a delay after use before being able to do it again (the delay being if there is still one out or not).
Random but fixed meaning they are summoned in a random direction each time (3 are made though so you get coverage) but they move in a fairly straight line, adjusting course only to avoid running straight into objects (they go around objects, vault over windows/pallets). They each have a terror radius and will hit any survivor in their path.
Their appearance can be the default for the 3 members you aren’t playing as or if the technology allows you can choose their appearance in advance.
Their addons can be about increasing the duration of the other members being on the map with each use, how long the borrowed time timer lasts if hit, if a member can make multiple hits per summoning, if you see the aura of a survivor within a certain distance of a member, if the Legion you’re playing right now gets a feral frenzy too, if the summoned members lose their terror radius, if the ability guage increases faster while in a chase, if the number summoned is always 3.
Obviously tweaks can be made to improve this but I think this could be a lot of fun. There’s a mind game element (you don’t know if that’s the real one coming towards you and overlapping terror radiuses can hide the true one), can help in chases (increased success chance in pallettown), and fits their name much better.
