Legion changes are complete overkill

This....this just hurts.....

I was a Legion player who played while using zero exploits or cheese and this "rework" is just sendign them six feet under.


FF Ending on Miss was fine with me, but causing it to drain fully? That doesn't seem right....

To add on that it also fully drains the power bar if you get stunned at all. Regardless of being in FF or not.

Slower FF speed and vault speed just really hurt too. Takes about as long to vault as it does with max rank bamboozle on a regular vault to me.


Then there's the "cooldown"......THIS. DAMN. "COOLDOWN"!

The moment FF ends you're put in the same sort of stun CD animation from before, but now you get a dimmed vision effect and it's longer than a pallet stun even with the CD add-ons up to green, and seems to be about the same length as a pallet stun with the purple one. This. Is. ATROCIOUS

I got Legion because i liked the look of their playstyle, but this update completely kills any and all fun I had while playing them in a completely legitimate and non-scummy manner. Please. I am begging you to not go through with this, devs. PLEASE! Do not kill one of my favorite characters like this!

    The thing its you need to be prepared to hit the survivor with FF cuz legion didint have nothing of risk for hes power people abuse the lunge attack tactic to increase hes speed hes balance

    The increase of the fatigue stun from 3 seconds to 4.. That's 33% increase from just using your power.. A power that can't down anyone.. It's as bad if not worse than 3 blink nurse fatigue? Do you understand how much of a nerf that is? 3 blink nurse fatigue on a power you have a 20 second CD to use that you cannot down people with..

    Before this PTB update, Legion players got into a bad habit of not being punished for missing attacks while using an ability that grants them a tremendous amount of movement speed. This is something that when playing any other killer was not a problem. People would actually be punished for missing a left click on a survivor. I'm assuming the reason they decided to drain all the power and increase the stun time is because it's very hard to miss an attack when you're moving incredibly fast. Moving faster grants a bigger window of opportunity (haha funny pun) to land a hit on the survivor, and if you end up missing that then you bet there will be consequences. What makes it okay to completely miss an attack and deplete all your power, is that when you land an attack, you're power gets completely replenished and the location of all other survivors in your terror radius is revealed. This creates a high risk - high reward concept for legion. All the complaints of legion right now are currently just complaints about it being too hard to play legion, when landing a hit on legion is MUCH easier than landing a hit as any other killer. Other killers are punished for missing in a different way, and that is since it takes so much longer for a killer such as trapper, to catch up to a survivor than it does for legion, that gives less opportunity for the trapper to land a hit. A smaller time window, while as legion since you catch up much faster, you're expected to not miss that attack and if you do, there's a bigger punishment for it than most other killers.
