Legion needs a buff

Legion is known as being one of the worst killers in the game and needs a buff/rework. To start legions power is weak because once you kill a single survivor it becomes near impossible for a down with a frenzy due to needing to hit 4 different survivors or one that's already healed to make it to the 5th hit which downs a survivor. Due to this his power is pretty useless after the first kill so what could be done to buff this is when a survivor dies the amount of hits needed for a full frenzy goes down by one hit. Secondly legion is stopped from jumping over a pallet when a survivor is using any means necessary which lets a survivor lift a pallet and they abuse this by starting to lift the pallet and then stopping when the frenzy ends. Due to this and legion having a high pick rate for killer matches legion needs a buff or a rework.

    If they remove iri button I would 100 % agree.

    I would:

    → Increase FF duration by 5s

    → Increase detection by 10m

    → rework DW so survivors have to mend

    I just want the amount of hits you need for a down to scale with the amount of survivors remaining so after 1 person dies I can still down someone with it.

    I just want his detection to be constant range with addons increasing it, instead of connected to TR.
    Legion would be way better, if you could use Oblivous/Undetectable perks.

    I think the biggest nerf to them was the multi hit passives being changed when the player self mends.

    They dumb multi hit thing did nothing to buff them IMO and it's just annoying seeing Legions try go for that over and over.

    I love the stealth addons and information ones on them and I miss being able to apply debuffs from the 2nd hit onwards, I feel like with the fatigue reduction and the addons we have now, going back to 2nd hit status application was better for pressure. Coz SWF's are just going to mend each other.

    This killer needs a rework, they are weak and yet they ruin most events which were unique (Lights out and 2v8). I love the idea of of the stabby stabby, but maybe playing more into their hit and run without information built in base kit would be healthier, that way you could maybe make them apply a mark and get haste like BFF as their main mechanic.

    I used to play them a lot but I've really disliked them ever since the combo hits to get a down rework coz the addons bar the stealth ones (sunglasses and ruler) are boring.

    I think they don't neccessarily need rework. If Legion downs on 4th hit instead of 5th, has longer FF duration and speed and can refill gauge by breaking and kicking too, he would feel much better. Essentialy he can lower required hits to down with less survivors, so if one survivor dies he can down on 3rd hit instead of 4th and be pretty decent B tier killer.

    The problem with legion is even though they are weak, they have a pick rate. This means they can't really justify a rework. But in terms of tweaks it's a volatile power where you risk making the 5th hit inescapable or the fatigue too short. Their power is just too simple, not enough variable to tweak. They're basically just a beginner killer that isn't really viable past that, unless you don't care about kills and just want to play them for fun or bp or whatever

    Just tweaks is fine, like make him recover out of frenzy quicker the more hits he has chained.

    I doubt they will ever give Legion major buffs since he's the biggest noob stomper.
