Let's talk about these odd Legion changes

Before y'all get your knickers in a twist for me maining Legion, I hoenstly don't use Frenzy to kill. I think the dependance on Frank's Mix Tape in a lot of Legion builds is dumb. I think it's inefficient and these upcoming changes do refine it a little more... Before taking a rock and smashing it to a thorny mess. Overall, I think the changes are rather good, turning Legion into a Staller/In-Out killer that can get the first hit off easy and stall you out if you get away. However, there are changes I have... some issues with:


·Missed attacks cancel Frenzy

This is a complete 180° from the original Frenzy that basically turns a "Feral Frenzy" into... well "Sprint Burst". Addons that make the gauge drain instead of deplete don't solve much, as (if I'm correct) the dependency for Frank's Mix Tape will be replaced by... Frank's Mix Tape.

·Legion can only see DW is applied, not the countdown

This ultimately encourages tunneling since there is no way to determine if the Survivor is at risk of being downed or not. Killers will go on a hunch and say, "Better safe than sorry" and go after them until they are downed.

·Legion can't lower DW timer

Let's take Plague into account here. If you vomit on a Sick survivor, they get closer to the broken state. With how Frenzy works (and let's add some of the upcoming changes for argument sake) four frenzy stabs, three stuns, and three FULL meter refils later, I think a down isn't too much to ask. That sure as hell ain't how I play Legion, but I don't think stallin the game means stalling your own progress as well.


Other than those three changes, I think the rest of them are workable at worst and rework levam at best.

    Lets also talk about the bull that is going on where they decide to put Legion above Freddy that has been promised a change since he basically came out. This is lame!

    @RabidWabbitz

    Honestly tho, and I don't even own Freddy, let alone play him.

    @RabidWabbitz In the dev update though they DID say that the Freddy rework was way more than they've ever done to a killer. So it's A LOT of programming issues. They've probably had teams working on each killer separately, and the Legion team just finished first, because it's easier to nerf an already bad killer into the ground. It would be hard to make Freddy worse, but by God, they're trying.
