Killer Reworks

I’ve been playing the game 4+ Hours a day since august 2020, a killer main at heart, I have every killer in the game and I just wanted to talk about a few reworks that I think would be kinda cool


Legion~ I’m well aware that on release legion was pretty OP, but I think the power is rather weak, I think a rework that could be more true to the lore is having a power that allows legion to disguise as a survivor for 60 seconds, and he can do gens and everything else a survivor can do, but he actually regresses gens when he works on them, and skill checks give bonus reduction, put his power on a 90-120 second or so cool down with recovery add ons


Deathslinger~ Give him and iridescent add on that makes his gun shoot like a normal one without a chain, but to balance it to make it so that it doesn’t down you, but gives you a deep wound instead, or give him scope add ons as well I think it could be an interesting take on a killer who’s a calm B tier


Pig~ I think pig is roughly one of the worst killers in terms of power, her crouch is really good but remove the sound cue when she pulls her knife out, and make it so that each jigsaw box is for a specific survivor (maybe a gamer tag or something, I’m sure the devs could fix it) instead of RNG, and buff her add ons because the only one that seems to work to any degree is her timer ones


I think that’s enough for one post so if you guys liked this one I will make another one

    Legion was always weak. He will always be weak with his current power.


    Deathslinger doesn't really need any buffs.

    i would absolutely not mind getting rid of the Iridescent Coin.

    your idea sounds interesting, but it would just ultimately end up making him a 4.4 m/s M1 killer, which is exactly the problem Trickster has with his Iridescent Photocard.

    my favourite idea for a new Ultra Rare Add On would be to give him a silencer for his gun, that will completely silence it outside of, lets say, 10m towards him (its gotta be short enough to be able to get some more long range snipes without the survivors noticing).

    that would be quite cool to have i think.


    the Legion change is something i'd like to have as a secondary power added to their current.

    but without the working on gens part, it'd just be some sort of stealth mechanic to get close, then they put on their mask and start their frenzy in the middle of the survivors, quickly injuring them - and giving them a good reason to heal, as being injured against a Legion would be quite a scary thought now (much like being injured against a Ghostface).


    i also agree that the RNG aspect of Pig is an issue, but i dont think dedicating a single box to each survivor is a good idea. with that the pig could just camp a box, guaranteeing herself at least one kill. imo the key should be guaranteed on the third box a Survivor searches. the audio cue is also something that i dont really have an issue with, as when they hear it its basically too late to dodge anyway.

    I actually like your deathslinger idea, I think silencer and scope add ons would be pretty cool

    Interesting suggestions, but there's a few issues:

    Legion - A "disguise" killer would be extremely difficult to pull off well. SWF would destroy this character and make their power completely moot (frustrating for the killer; Ghost Face already suffers from this issue to some extent) and this ability risks being too good and feeling borderline "uncounterable" against solo-queue players (frustrating for survivors). Runs a really high risk of just feeling terrible on both sides. There's a reason that very few multiplayer games have a character like this.

    Deathslinger - Making his gun work like a normal gun (without the Spear & Chain) would be pretty overpowered. At this point he would become a Huntress with a small terror radius, virtually no wind up, an extremely fast projective, and a small hitbox (it can travel through the holes in a lot of walls). It'd probably turn Deathslinger into the DCslinger.

    Pig - Tying each box to a specific player doesn't really do anything about her RNG. Presumably neither you nor they would know which box they needed to interact with, so virtually nothing changes. If the survivors knew the box and Pig didn't, it'd be a nerf to Pig. If Pig knew the box and the survivors didn't, she could just block the appropriate box for free kills. She really does need an add-on pass though, ideally one that allows more add-ons to affect her Ambush/Crouch/Dash abilities (75% of her add-ons are for the RBTs and Jigsaw Boxes).

    I think if they can’t do the no chain add on for deathslinger, then at least give people scopes to work with 🤣
