My thoughts on ptb & changes
After playing on the ptb all day yesterday here is my opinion of the changes.
Legion - I played legion for hours yesterday. Upon reading some of the other comments about the legion changes i both agree and disagree.
I agree with they went way to far with the nerfs. I was a bit confused after reading the test notes because I originally thought i would just lose ff on a missed attack. I lost ff on almost everything, when i hit a survivor, when i was hit by a pallet, when i missed an attack. etc. This is way overkill. The 4 second stunn and slow vaulting is overkill.
I disagree with people saying he became useless. I quickly was able to adapt my tactics with him and found that he was still decent if used correctly. The base movement speed increase allowed me to compensate for the ff changes. I simply started using it the same way i play billy. I just used ff to apply map pressure, get to one side of the map to the other quickly, and as a gap closer. What i'd do is just end ff myself and get back into the 4.6 m/s movement speed and chase people down. Then use ff to close the gap if they sprinted away, and other stragetic uses. You can force pallets on your own terms but better hope your mind games and timing that lunge are up to par. Don't Miss.
Verdict - Still viable to some degree if played properly, however the changes are a bit extreme.
Pig - Changes are way to extreme. Not only did the changes hurt her mid to late mid game but completely destroyed her end game strategies. The rbt activation changes are just plain silly and the ability for survivors to just run out the gate with a rbt on is just plain stupid. I understand the devs thought process on this one but they just plain got it wrong on so many levels.
End game - I like the direction they are headed with this one but thought the end game timer was just way too long. It needs to be reduced significantly by a full minute or more. Opening the exit gates are way to fast but i kinda admit, I liked slamming that hatch closed.
Final verdict- They seriously need to go back to the drawing board on many of these changes.

As a survivor main, they did hit Legion with too many nerfs, I think the only ones we wanted was some counterplay to FF but they overdid it.
Pig did not deserve any nerfs, they should just possibly increase the speed of searching the boxes faster during the endgame.
EGC is way too long and I think they buffed exit gates a tad too much especially since survivors can just nab Hope, Adrenaline, and Wake Up to get to the exit gates quicker or open them faster.
Granted this is the first time they implemented this so they will have to work out the kinks, might take a year or so given BHVR :/
