Stop Feral Frenzy from working vertically

Stop letting Feral Frenzy reveal killer instinct on survivors who are not on the same floor/story/level/Z-axis/height as Legion.

Thanks.

    Killer instinct CANNOT be countered by survivor perks. It either needs a counter or needs to be toned down on Legion.

    ...Why?

    They usually don't even get to capitalise on that, since they can't traverse that far in a single Frenzy. Generally speaking you don't try and hide from a Frenzy, if that's the concern, you just outrun it by splitting up quickly. So... what's the functional reason for that change?

    Me when I cannot run in a straight line away from the killer.

    The entire point of killer instinct is that it's not meant to be countered. Killer Instinct is also solely tied to killer powers and addons.

    Why?

    Because of that new stupid perk... "Spend 100+ seconds in the basement equipping No Mither"

    The killer knows I'm in the basement because of aura reading, so I have to equip Distortion.

    The killer interrupts the invocation and knows I'm in the basment because I screamed, so I have to equip Calm Spirit.

    Killer instinct tells the Legion that I'm in the basement and there's nothing I can do about it.

    I mean. You did choose to equip the perk and go into the basement. If you don't want any risk of being interrupted, surely you just wouldn't bring the perk at all, right?

    The risk of Invocation perks is gonna be that the killer might find out you're in the basement, and you can't prevent that all of the time. I wouldn't recommend running it in solo queue, it's gonna require a buddy either to massively lower the time investment or to keep the killer occupied while you do it.

    The new Invocation perk is weak, so let's nerf the only good thing the Legion have going for them? That's an interesting take...

    The only strong aspect to The Legion's power is the uncounterable information that it gives you. Otherwise, they're just a basic attack Killer with the ability to injure multiple Survivors quickly (but only if the Survivors make the mistake of grouping up, which they shouldn't be doing against a Legion).

    I think they're one of the worst Killers in the game right now. If anything they need some buffs.

    "if the Survivors make the mistake of grouping up"

    I have no control over my teammates. I cannot create a force field to keep them away from me.

    True. But if you see a yellow bar pop up next to a teammate's name and you can hear the terror radius music, that's your cue to quickly leave the area and get to some safety. I struggle against the Legion too (and I'm a Legion main), but it's not like they have no counter play.

    Legion is pretty meh as is, and besides, Killer Instinct isn't meant to be countered. You don't have to do challenges, and BHVR certainly shouldn't balance around their shittier ones.

    nah that would make legion lose the game the second they load into a the game or midwich.

    Then just stop distinction from activating on survivors in the basement.

    We are in the nerf Legion era again. It's been five years...
