Legion is the weakest killer in 2vs8

Many people say that Nemesis and Trapper are underpowered in this mode. But im surprised why people dont talk about Legion, cause they are laughable weak compare even to this two killers. People say they are good as support for the teammate, but they dont realise that they actually say "Legion is not a real killer, he is just support of the real killer". He is only killer in this mode that has nothing to 1vs1 situation (anti loop). He is just m1 killer that has to deal with 1000 god pallets (that survivors can rebuild) and totally dependant on his teammate skill level. So in this case there is my suggestion

  1. Make iri button and Frank mixtape base-kit
  2. Return frenzy down from 8 hits to 4
  3. Decrease mending time to 4 second
  4. Decrease terror radius in frenzy to 40 m.

    But no other killer so dependant on teammate than Legion. Even Trapper and Slinger have 1vs1 mechanic.

    Even if the legion is dependent on the teammate for a majority of the downs they buy their teammates time unlike any other killer because of the time survivors will spend mending. They do still help with hooks with downs on survivors in weak areas especially with the 3% speed while chasing an injured survivor and the 8th feral slash downing. But making the survivor team spend upwards of 96s mending per frenzy its a gamechanging amount of pressure and slowdown, and then on top of that you can capitalize on it as their teammate? S tier support killer right there.

    I think you're right, though not too many will agree with you. Legion is pretty weak. He's a pure support Killer, with the other Killer having to do all the heavy lifting. Not that balance is important in 2V8, but I think their weakness as a basic attack Killer wholly reliant on their partner to get the majority of cages is what balances them out.

    I get that this is a hot take on the forums, but I think they could use some buffs. Frank's Mix tape base-kit would be nice (it should be base-kit anyway) and they could maybe add the Scratched Ruler add-on, so they can get their power back quickly. I don't think BHVR would dare buff them for the next iteration.

    It's weird that a nerfed Legion in 2V8 is a problem, but all the other turbo buffed S and A tier Killers aren't? I just don't get it. Say you don't like to Vs a Legion, but don't pretend the other Killers aren't just as ridiculous.

    Same, I look at the nurse with 7 addons, and then I look at the forum where people are crying about legion in 2v8

    Thats what im talking about. He should be viable by himself and not be so weak without his teammate.

    He himself is never going to be viable as an m1 killer for a majority of his downs in a gamemode with 40 pallets and 10 extra windows on every map

    No. He's good as he is right now. Not broken, not underpowered. I do wish people who call him OP on 2v8 would understand what you said, that he's M1 trash and can't do a lot to down you, while also being strong in terms of getting injures. The better the team, the easier he'll be beaten, just as it is for all killers.

    He is not good in 1vs1 chasing but he is insane creating pressure in 1vs8. Even if he is more of an support killer does not make him weak. He makes it easier for his mate and I find it easy to get downs in 2vs8 with him. If we do bit comparision go trapper who is also basically support and he needs lot of time to set those traps. Slinger is also slow for example and cause no pressure for the survivor team. Legion really is only behind the high tier killers in this mode and he is easier to play.
