Leatherface opposes Legion design wise

So Legion is supposed to attack multiple people and put pressure out with his ability. This was exploited before to tunnel a single person. This is why they're changing him to a 115% movement speed killer and changing their ability so drastically. Leatherface's ability is meant to be able to down multiple people with the chainsaw. Right now though, the only way to be able to do that is prey on altruism and camp. And even if its not camping, his ability right now can only be used to have a good chance of downing one person in an open field.

So when is Leatherface going to get a change? For the better of course.

    Bubba's not too bad, he just needs some better add-ons.

    Isn't that the point of Killer Powers?

    I mean yeah, i agree he could use some love by now.

    But they're all supposed to act different.

    And with Killers being added every now and then, it'll eventually have 2 Killers who seem completely different.

    Heh, good point. One killer can hit survivors easily but can't down them, the other could theoretically instadown them, but has difficulties catching them.

    *sigh*

    A killer's life ain't easy!

    An interesting perspective I'd never heard before, and quite accurate. You get an Awesome.

    When your power is an instant down but Myers does a better job at insta downing.

    Bubba could use either 100% speed while revving or possibly a passive of some sort

    • Less movement speed penalty when revving the saw
    • Less total charge time
    • Better charging mechanism, its easier to juggle the charge with HB than it is to use bubbas saw the moment it is charged. (Change lf mechanic to hb's)
    • More distance gained with the chainsaw sweep, this can be achieved by changing a multitude of variables (charge penalty, charge time, acceleration, max speed)

    While it is really hard to prove, the wiki claims the chainsaw sweep to have an average speed of 115%, combined with the charge penalty, thus a lower starting speed and a sorta low acceleration cause bubba to not really be able to reliably hit survivor


    Edit i think 3 seconds duration are enough.
