Thinking up a Legion buff/rework

Buff(s) for Legion:


Power

Allow Legion to get a second chance hit if they miss the first one.


Allow Legion to see scratch marks while in Frenzy.

Legion now only loses a small portion of power after a basic attack instead of a large portion.



Legion needs an add-on pass



Make Frank's Mixtape an Ultra-rare add-on that allows Legion to down survivors with Frenzy attacks (3 hits) and the down side of this add-on is Legion will no longer be able to vault in Feral Frenzy (gives some counter play).


Hmm... I know that add-on sounds both very strong and very weak, but only because it's the only thing I can think of at the moment that'll actually make Frank's Mixtape worth something instead of it being completely worthless as it currently is.

To make it more appealing maybe it should allow you only 1 vault or maybe increase Frenzy movement speed?

Anyone else has any ideas?

    If a Legion misses an attack, that's on them, no need to hold their hand and give them another hit. If all we are doing is tweaking his current kit then he should not be losing any power after M1ing, his Frenzy speed should be increased to 150% and his fatigue should be decreased by a second. I would much prefer him getting a full rework though.

    I waskinda gonna say the same thing about the fatigue as well but I understand what you mean.

    There is another Legion rework idea me and my friend did, it would make the Legion stronger while also giving them a higher skill cap

    This isnt fixing Legions problem. Legions problem is the lack of lethality (downing survivors). Legion is the only Killer that has literally nothing to help them, even wraith can atleast cloak and get closer like that. So what this Killer needs is a secondary ability or something that makes it possible to down survivors somehow quicker.

    wraith is a surprise attack killer, so his lethality comes from using surprise attacks and avoiding obvious play (stop chasing with Wraith). both get free initial hits, but wraith can get a free down as well. legion can't. that's his issue.

    Give survivors hit with deep wound the oblivious status effect untill mended.

    Will force survivors to find a solid spot to mend and will make mending a smidge less boring cause they have to watch out for Legion now.

    Reduce fatigue time by a half a second

    Change all fatigue reducing addons to movement speed addons

    Frank's mixtape changed to "legion will make no sound when they cancel their power"

    Stab wound study: every hit in the same frenzy adds a stackable -25% deepwound timer. Meaning your 4th hit will down and end frenzys

    M1 hits now restore legions power by a fraction

    Came up with this on the fly so probably not well thought out changes.

    Imo outside of a few qol changes they are fine. Not the best but viable to play against most red ranks

    My opinion on a Legion buff has always been that he needs some Lethality. My idea was this:

    Every consecutive frenzy hit takes off more of the survivors DW timer.

    • 1st survivor hit: 3/3 DW timer
    • 2nd survivor hit: 2/3 DW timer
    • 3rd survivor hit: 1/3 DW timer
    • 4th survivor hit: Instadown

    This rewards the Legion for not missing any hits while also punishing grouping survivors. It also means if a survivor mends too fast then the Legion can maybe down them also.

    Keep the fact that he cannot hit a survivor who already has DW on them so he can't tunnel the 2nd survivor.

    Maybe have every consecutive hit also increase his speed slightly just so he can find and hit that next survivor on the bigger maps.
