The Legion | New Mechanic, Giving lethality in not such oppressive way, Addon reworks

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show you my old idea, that i tweaked a bit. It gives the Legion some lethality, but not by tunneling one person down to death. Also I will change some of the addons here, to make them more fun, useful :D.

So, Let's start!

NEW MECHANIC: "HIDDEN WOUND" (you can also name is at "marking" :D)

(It looks similar to the ghostface stalk meter on the hud)

• After applying a Deep Wound with your Feral Frenzy to a survivor, Hidden Wound meter increases by 30%
• After hitting a Deep Wounded Survivor in Feral Frenzy Hidden Wound meter increases by 20%.
• When the Deep Wound timer is going down a survivor's Hidden Wound meter increases by 1%/s.
• When Survivor is fully healed, Hidden Wound meter decreases by 1%/s
• When you hit a Deep Wounded Survivor in Feral Frenzy, which is at the rate of 100% Hidden Wound he is instantly downed, and the Hidden Wound meter depletes entirely (goes back to 0%)
• When you down a survivor in any way, the Hidden Wound meter depletes entirely (reverts to 0%)

This new mechanic will make The Legion able to punish survivors for not healing. He will get some lethality but it's counterable by healing and mending

POWER

FATIGUE

• Feral Frenzy fatigue is now 3 seconds (before 4 seconds)
• Tunnel Vision while in fatigue is significantly reduced

POWER GAUGE

• Feral Frenzy power gauge now recover for 15 seconds (from 20 seconds)

HITTING A DEEP WOUNDED SURVIVOR WHILE IN FERAL FRENZY

• Increases the "Hidden Wound" meter by 20%
• Depletes your entire power gauge and ends your power immediately
• Downs a Survivor if has 100% gauge meter of Hidden Wound
• Plays the "Weapon Wiping" animation for 2 seconds (Like when The Legion was hitting a Deep Wounded survivor on the first PTB.) and after that you get into the fatigue state.

(With these changes, The Legion can hit a Deep Wounded survivor with feral frenzy without getting punished for it, and brings back some lethality back.)

MISSING ATTACKS

• Missing an attack while in Feral Frenzy ends your power immediately and depletes 50% of its maximum.

(With this change u still get punished for missing attacks, but not as much as before, and you can get back to action faster :D)

DEEP WOUND

• Self-Mending takes 12 seconds to complete. (same as before)
• Altruistic Mending takes 6 seconds to complete. (before 8 seconds)

That will make survivors more likely to group up and heal eachother.

Addons

Cooldown:

• Reduces Feral Frenzy recovery time by 2/3 seconds. (From 2/3.5 seconds)

smiley face pin

• Hitting a survivor highlighted by Killer Instinct while in Feral Frenzy applies Blindness status effect for 60 seconds
• Hitting a Deep Wounded survivor while in Feral Frenzy applies Blindness status effect for 60 seconds and Oblivious status effect for 10 seconds

Defaced Smiley pin

• Hitting a survivor highlighted by Killer Instinct while in Feral Frenzy applies Mangled status effect until healed
• Hitting a Deep Wounded survivor while in Feral Frenzy applies Mangled and Haemorrhage status effect until healed

THE LEGION PIN

• Hitting a Survivor highlighted by Killer Instinct while in Feral Frenzy applies the Incapacitated Status Effect until mended. This effect persist for 15 seconds after completing the Mending action,
• Hitting a Deep Wounded Survivor while in Feral Frenzy applies the Incapacitated Status Effect until mended. This effect persist for 25 seconds after completing the Mending action,

I changed The Legion pin because there would be no way to counter the new mechanic.

(Survivors can still mend themselves, when they have Incapacitated status effect)

KILLER INSTINCT ADDONS

Before: Increases Killer Instinct Detecion range by: 4/8/16 meters

Now:

• Increases Terror Radius while in Feral Frenzy by 4/8/16 meters
• Decreases Terror Radius while outside of Feral Frenzy by 2/4/6 meters

I changed these addons because they are not that useful on the Legion right now. They show you location of people, that you can't reach with your frenzy, and can bait you to go there. New addons are easy to understand, and fun to play with! :D

FATIGUE ADDONS:

Before: Reduces the fatigue of Feral frenzy by 0.2/0.4seconds

Now:

• Increases the movement speed of Feral Frenzy by 0.15/0.25 m/s

Instead of nerfing them I decided to rework them. These addons would be definitely useful on The Legion.

Cold dirt

Before: Reduces the fatigue of Feral Frenzy by 0.6 seconds

Now:

• Reduces the fatigue of Feral Frenzy by 0.5 seconds
• Reduces the "Weapon Wiping" animation after hitting a Deep Wounded Survivor by 1 second

BLADE ADDONS

Before: Increases mending time by 1.5/ 2.5 seconds

Now:

• Feral Frenzy attacks apply additional 2%/4% Hidden Wound Meter.

(Not sure about these addons!)

STAB WOUNDS STUDY

Before: Reduces the Deep Wound timer of all survivors by 3 seconds (XD)

Now:

• Survivors Deep Wounded by Feral Frenzy attack are affected by Oblivious Status Effect until Mended.
• When Survivor cancels or finishes the Mending action he screams revealing his location to the killer for 5 seconds

This addon is EXTREMELY outdated for a very long time. It needs changes. I think the idea i proposed here is fun, and matches the addon name :D

FRANK'S MIXTAPE

Before: Hitting a Deep Wounded survivor while in feral frenzy, shortens their Deep Wound timer by 5 seconds.

• The Legion can start Feral Frenzy when the gauge is charged above 33%

(So, This addon is also very outdated. With this change you will be able to use Frenzy as a mobility power, and it could help you with some chases).

IRIDESCENT BUTTON

Very good addon, I'm not changing it!

FUMING MIXTAPE

Before: While using Feral Frenzy, the Repair Progression of Generators can be determined by the intensity of their Auras.

Now:

• After vaulting a window or a pallet while in Feral Frenzy your power gauge stops draining for 2.5 seconds
• While in Feral Frenzy Auras of Pallets and Windows within 12 meters are shown to you.

I think the old version of Fuming Mixtape is a bit boring and not so good. New version is way much entertaining to use, and can help the legion in a lot of situations! :D

TUNNELING A SURVIVOR

With these changes, The Legion can have some lethality, but it's not worth to tunnel one person with him. Why? Look:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First hit: Applying Deep Wound, Applying 30% Hidden Wound = Total 30%

Second hit: + 20% Hidden Wound = 50%

Third hit: +20% Hidden Wound = 70%

Fourth hit: +20% Hidden Wound = 90%

Fifth hit: +20% Hidden Wound = 100%

Sixth hit: Hitting a survivor with 100% Hidden Wound = Downing

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, you need 6 FRENZY HITS to tunnel a survivor down. It will be way better for you, to apply Hidden Wound when applying Deep Wound, and when a survivor has it increased. For Example:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You see a survivor that has 60% of Hidden Wound.

First hit: You apply Deep Wound, +30% Hidden Wound: Total 90% Hidden Wound

Second hit: +20% hidden wound: Total 100% Hidden Wound

Third Hit: Downing a survivor

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As u can see For tunneling players, this Legion buff won't be good, but when playing The Legion properly, it can give you some lethality. Also if the survivors want to be safe from downing they can just heal when they are around 60% of Hidden Wound and it will just go down passively :D. I hope you like it guys, tell me in the comments! I think it would be awesome to see something like that in the game!

See you in the fog!😱
