Legion nerf

I hate the upcoming update to the legion. Deep wound looks like it's going to be as useless as the Pig's reverse bear trap. With feral frenzy no longer lowering the wound timer, and merely being near a survivor stops the timer , the legion will have no reason to chase anyone. Personally, I chase anyone nearby and if there's no indication of other survivors nearby, I tunnel the last one I hit. I don't see myself ever playing the legion again once this update goes through. Freddy seems more viable.

    The Pig's RBTs, while #########, can still do something. Deep wound is straight up dumpster fire trash.

    Just being faster than the survivors is a boon. Sure, you have to hit them a good 3 or 4 times to down someone, but deep wound will become 100% useless with the update if frenzy attacks no longer lower the timer as they do now, combined with the timer pausing if you're within the legion's terror radius.

    @DWolfAlpha

    All these things that you mention for instance the mending time pausing when in legions terror radius is to counter tactics that had no counterplay. For example the moonwalking with legion instead of actually hitting them. That is totally fair getting 1 hit when you had dozens attempts. Then just walking backwards. It is all for the counterplay.


    The missing swing one is another one that Is needed. It was actually faster to constantly miss hits than running normally in your feral frenzy. Which is way too bizarre.


    Both of these changes I agree too but personally I feel that the legion was a bad idea to begin with. Especially when the devs originally wanted this game about stealth. Adding a killer that notifies you when you hit a survivor of another ones location goes entirely against this.

    Legion's biggest thing, VAULTING has been made slower and their fatigue time has been increased as well. So they vault like a Survivor at pallets AND get fatigued for longer, the longer Fatigue was not necessary. Also thereduced charge add-ons are laughable, the charge is 20 seconds and the add-ons make them go down by three?

    I actually like these changes... for the most part.

    I don't like the lower speed in Frenzy, and I feel that, if you're going to cause a single miss to stop Frenzy, at least lower THAT particular cooldown, and not lose ALL of your frenzy on a normal hit either. Also, not being able to see blood trails is stupid. Scratch marks I can understand, because they aren't focusing on that. Blood trails, I can't understand why you can't see this.

    Otherwise, the changes aren't as bad as people are saying. And I was one of those that was against pretty much all of the changes at first.

    Frank's Mixtape allows you to do old Legion but reduce the timer even more
