Feedback to Legion's rework

If those changes happen Legion will be the worst killer.

How are you even supposed to hit survivors with only 1 swing in cornfields and now without even blood pools? It is plain dumb. Not being able to see scratch marks made sense, the killer would go into a frenzy and ignore the Entity's help but not being able to see blood?

This whole rework as it is is completely favoring survivors and ignoring all current Legion players.

''bridge the gap in the extreme playstyle of this Killer''; Legion is supposed to be a different killer and not just another M1 killer, nerfing his power and buffing his base stats is going directly against what Legion was supposed to be.

How to fix the killer you ask? Increase Frenzy Duration after putting someone in Deep Wound status and increase Legion's movement speed while going after a different survivor in frenzy after getting a hit on the first one, kind of like a reverse Spine Chill. This would give an incentive for Legion not to tunnel the first survivor they found.

Stopping Deep Wound timer from going down while mending or while inside the killer's terror radius seems fine, a bit of nerf but a fair one. Making additional Frenzy hits on survivors not reduce the timer is complete bull though, it's already a tactic that doesn't work very well without Frank's Mix tape. The balance team probably decided to make that change since with 4.6 m/s you probably wouldn't need to hit survivors 4 times with Feral Frenzy anyway.

TLDR: Increase Frenzy duration/speed after first stab when going for another survivor, make the moonwalking exploit not work, make the Deep Wound timer not go down inside the killer's terror radius, scrap all other changes mentioned in the post.

    These proposed changes are bad for the Killer. Basically, you want to M1 the survivor, Frenzy to catch up, Cancel the Frenzy when you bodyblock or are close, then M1 again. You are penalized for actually using his power as intended and using it in the manner above makes you a visible Wraith with worse tracking. Why even play Legion? Why not ANY OTHER KILLER? If you just want to have the Legion be a killer with a sprint power, just redesign it that way. Right now the Dev team has spent many hours planning, talking, coding, and testing the Deep Wound mechanic only for the killer to not use it since it's the sub par solution. People involved should take a good long hard look at how they got there and fix it.
