Easy Fix For Legion: Addons

The legion as he/she/they are/is now is not good.
I mean, is a hell lot of fun to play, i admit it, but as a rank 1 killer main, i see myself plaing him as much as freddy...
But after the rank reset, i get that ad mid rank he is kind of decent with some perks and at low rank he kick asses...
So, i get why devs want to let him as he is...
Soo... why not change/add some addons to make him releable at top ranks?
I know is unpopular among top killers to have an addons dependent killer, but i really don't see the problem if this make him balanced at all ranks... like trapper or wraith, they didnt received a real "buff" to theyr power or play mechanic, they just obtained addons that make them viable at top ranks...

So, my suggestion is:

Change Fuming Mix Tape (ultra rare) from what is now (wich literally unworthy of red rarity) to:
Survivors Affected by Deep Wound cannot mend themself
Deep Wound timer is increased by 10 seconds.
Optional: Deep Wound Timer Stop Wile Mending

Obviously we can do a lot of stuff and add other addons...
Other (balanced) possibility are:

Heavy Metal Tape (Rare)
Each tim deep wound is Re-Applied to a survivor, the timer is shortened by 5 seconds every time the survivor is afflicted by a new deep wound effect
When there is no more time to remove from the deep wound bar, the survivor will be directly dawned when hit during feral frenzy.

Hunting Manual (Ultra Rare)
A printed article explaining how to easly spot a prey in the near surroundings...
After hitting a survivor during Feral Franzy, as long as a non wounded survivor is inside your terror radius, your power bar does not deplete.

Sharpened Blade (very Rare)
This blade is carefully sharpened and looks really dangerous
If a condition of exposed status is applied on a survivor, when the survivor is hit during feral frenzy, he is downed istantly

Plastic Blade (Common)
A blade found in a Kids store... doesn't seem really suited for the job...
Every time a survivor afflicted by deep wound is hit during feral franzy, the deep wound bar replenish.
Hitting a survivor afflicted by deep wound Refills The Legion's entire power gauge.
+100% bonus blood points.

Other ideas? Opinions? Would Like a word from the devs about this tipe of "balance"
Changing the addons instead of the powers...

    Add-ons are not an issue, infact hunting manual is OP on your list to be honest

    The Ultra Rares need to be a bit more powerful, as they are like...

    Ultra Rare.

    The Purple Add ons are perfect. THe green ones too.

    THey need to give some validity to the brown and yellow ones. They all need buffed a touch.

    Yeah lots of his addons are quite disappointing. Especially Fuming Mix Tape. Like common, it's bad enough first off that this is just a rip off from wraiths addon, but it's also just not very good. Quite bad for an ultra rare.

    Addons should not make a killer stronger, they should change his playstyle just like Myers.

    A killer should be viable and strong without using addons. Even if a killer is viable with addons it doesn't change the fact that he/she is still weak.

    Yeah there's way too many addon dependent killers.

    No, I prefer a killer be useful naked in low ranks. So far Legion is the only killer that has felt so underwhelming naked, or even going adept that addons felt almost needed to shore up glaring weaknesses that survivors gleefully took advantage of.

    Killers shouldn't be balanced around add ons. I'd rather see Legions base kit improved and add ons nerfed if needed.

    Base legion is the problem he needs to be good without add ons
