Here's a Legion concept that I came up with for a rework him into a killer that can disguise as surv
Here’s a weird concept I just made up for a rework Legion, and turn his frenzy thing into a cloak ability where he’s got the frenzy movement but is cloaked, he has to unfrenzy/uncloak to hit survivors but he has a secondary power that lets him turn into survivors, of course he’d be the same speed as survivors when disguising, but if he swings he immediately breaks out of the disguise back into Legion, if you get the reference I’m basically turning him into Spy from TF2. This might not make Legion S Tier but it would make him fun to play as and against LOL, and yes any interaction to a survivor while disguised as a survivor instantly undisguises them, including grabbing a survivor off a gen, however idk if allowing Legion to insta down survivors when back stabbing should be a thing, I think it should, but idk.

Ngl that doesn't sound great to me. The disguising mechanic just means free pickups on gens which is broken af. It would either need a huge cooldown or legion should uncloak when within a certain distance of a survivor.
Even without the mechanical implications it really doesn't fit legion's vibe. They weren’t anything for diguises, just a bunch of teenage delinquents who wore masks and did crimes.
I would like to see a shapeshifting killer who can disguise as survivors but it would need to be carefully implemented. Definitely doesn't fit legions basekit or vibes

a shapeshift killer would be cool bu can we no complely change an existing killer for that?
legion like every oher killer has mains that don wan to lose their favourit killer

A disguise killer would be a bit silly against an swf.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I think I've disliked pretty much every concept I've read for a Legion rework and this one is no exception. All I want out of Legion is the ability to run fast, vault things and stab people.
I believe they had the idea to let them hide in lockers for surprise attacks (which would have been cool), but the idea got reused to design the Dredge instead. Personally, I'd like for them to have a few more Survivor like abilities like that. But to be honest, at this point I just want BHVR to fix my favourite Killer and then completely forget they exist for a bit.
Besides, I'd rather the disguise concept be reserved for a John Carpenter's The Thing chapter. Even then, it still wouldn't work very well because unfortunately SWFs exist and lots of them use voice chat software and DBD's design is poorly balanced for that kind of advantage.

Wouldn't comms automatically defeat any mimic killer?

I would rather for such concept is created a new killer over messing with my main…
Mimic killer has an issue it's destined to be pure soloq/noob stomper.

Legion would be way better to play against if they would replace deep wound from Frenzy with a new one that would buff Legion instead

nah as a hit and run killer you need something that makes the sruvivors not work on gens

But as a hit and run killer you're the one that makes them not to work on gens ^^ Besides deep wound barely does anything to them.

" hey man the killer is disguised as claudette, they are going to shack" ... And there goes your power.
Or better, I am in soloQ and I see the hud, claudette is repauring a gen, but she is also running towards me, so I just prerun until I am basically on the other side of the map.

Yes but who cares, the fun!

I'm torn on this because I do love the idea of a straight up disguise mimic killer, but like everybody says comms or HUD awareness kills the viability of the playstyle entirely.
The only solution I can think of is to make this killer straight up not connect to any lobby with SwF involved, but that really isn't a great fix.

Imagine the queue times if they isolated a killer to solos only, with around half of all survs in at least a duo SWF.

While I would like a mimic killer I do know any mimic killer is doomed to either be incredibly week cause Comms ruin their power or have the mimic thing just be a fun gimmick but not actually the power that matters.
But most importantly I do not want a mimic killer when it costs me my main. As a separate killer? Sure why not but killer reworks should always keep the core of the killer and for legion that is hit and run, wounding all survivors repeatedly and being fast with full control

Exactly. Especially during split queues like Modifiers or 2v8? Just doesn't seem feasible for DBD. Legion's current power is honestly solidly thematic for the group of 4 as parallels to survivor behavior, with their ability to vault pallets and windows matching this idea.
For what it is, it works.

While yes he wouldn't be strong or high on the tier list it would still be a cool killer to have people would like to still play such a killer if we're in the game
