Feedback on Legion and EGC
So it has been a bit since the last update so I've spent some time playing the EGC and Legion.
Note: I play in the low ranks as killer.. yellow ranks.. and purple ranks as survivor. I like to goof around but will try hard depending on the group or player I come across.

The new Legion, although is fun to play but their power feels a bit lacking.
I feel the new legion is basically the Wrath and Spirit, but without most of the mindgame playing. The Frenzy is more of a tool for getting around the map, rather than being too useful in the actual chase. Once you get a survivor with Deep Wounds, and there is no other survivors around, what is the point of using Frenzy again with that survivor. Which makes a couple of their add-ons sort of not useful. The addons where you need to apply a Deep Wound then hit them again while in Frenzy, feels really pointless since you lose your frenzy after doing that get stunned, and the survivor basically gets allot of distance on you. Feels really lack luster.
Legion feels better to play and to play against, but feels like it is missing something. Which might just boil down to their addons.
--- Now the best part the new EGC ---
EGC.... End Game Collapse... OR SHALL WE CALL IT THE END GAME CHALLENGE!
So this end game challenge is pretty hilarious.
As a survivor.
It feels pretty one sided if the killer knows where the hatch is and can cover the doors easy. If you are the last one, and you weren't camping the hatch or the door when the 3rd survivor died. Good luck getting out. The killer doesn't even need to chase you. So there is no real juking or anything that last survivor can do. The killer just needs to keep you in their sights and pin you in a location, no more looping.. no more hiding. How can crouch or walk away when the killer backs up and keep a wide angle view on what you are doing. At least maybe high rank survivors have a better chance at this, but low rank player. No way. Those low rank survivors, getting toasted every time. (at least it feels like it)
As a killer.
Now this is where the joy is in the end game collapse.... or as I call it now... End Game Challenge.
Your challenge as a killer.... Kill 3 survivors off... find the hatch... close it... Now the fun begin. Find that last survivor and then play with your food until the Entity ends their suffering and takes them back into the fog.
That sums it up for me. I started a new steam group for this, for those who wish to take up the challenge.

I actually had about 6 of these matches now, only managed to properly record one.. a couple that I've induced on my own. However now I am going full out and trying to get a vid for each killer.
The one end game challenge I managed to record was very basic in skill. I let that survivor go, they had plenty of time to get the hatch since I was blind as a bat. Once I found it, they needed to get a door. Once I knew where they are, that was it. They never got a door open unless I allowed it.

** And this was the more "friendlier" EGC, that survivor had a chance, but blew it.
You have given killers are brand new tool to troll survivor players in this game.
You may question how often this situation comes up. Maybe not very often in high rank play, since the skill level is higher. However in the low ranks, I've been able to fish this out pretty easy in a match.

Now I will offer a possible solution to this EGC.... Which some may not like, but I feel like something has to give in the EGC.
Possible idea for solution.... Once EGC timer hits 30 seconds, both gates open automatically, if and only if there is one survivor left. Bleedout counter gets reduced to 10 seconds during the EGC. So either that killer picks up the survivor and hooks them, or they bleed out in 10 seconds.. Not 240 seconds.
TLDR... Legion isn't too bad, but I think their addons need improvements to make their power more usable. The End Game Collapse is now The End Game Challenge, and let the trolling begin!
