Should sleepy pills be reworked?

This isn't really a complaint on baseline legion. But i feel never sleep pills+mural sketch just kinda removes the one counter you have. You have a legion who has 20 seconds to get to you moving at fairly normal speed after first hit (which is almost always). And since there's no urgency for time for the legion in loops they have no urgency to commit at pallets. Also chain hit downs are meant to be a rare thing but it's pretty much always with these. What do you think?

    it only really works out if the survivors were already grouped up when legion starts his frenzy

    if survivors split up like youre meant to against legion (and really most killers), and they hold w away when he approaches, that addon combo isnt enough for a down

    if survivors dont split up properly, and he catches 2+ in the same sort of area, its much different, and hell likely get a down, but thats the survivors mistake, not the addon combo being op

    Pills and Mural are the funniest addons to play as Legion, definitely my favourites.

    I personally think they're fine, since Pills slow you down and remove Legion's ability to use their power for mobility and gen pressure (which is usually one of the advantages on Legion : seeing Discordance or Iron Maiden or the gates pop and zooming there). Pairing it with Mural means you're dedicating your two addon spots to yellow addons as well.

    Plus, any missed hit puts you out of Frenzy. I've been taken out of Frenzy on the 4rth chain by a good 360 or locker juke before, so it's not completely uncounterable.

    I also don't think chain hit downs should be that rare. Legion has been reworked to make them possible precisely because otherwise their power is either on the weaker side, or counterable by not healing, making them a purely m1 killer and not that fun to play. We wouldn't deny Artist her crows or Deathslinger his shots because their power working as it's supposed to should be rare.

    For me, a lot of the fun of playing Legion is going for long chains, which is almost impossible without Pills on most maps. So chains are already rare ; made possible by an add-on. Which is why in my opinion the add-on is fine as is.

    I respect your opinion, but I have to disagree !

    Legion is already a weak killer and i dont think he needs a nerf. If they make Legion better they can change this addon though.

    Pills are fine, it shouldn't work with the addon that increases the speed per hit though.
