[Unpopular Opinion] Revert the Legion changes

Don't get me wrong, I understand that the Legion was a fundamentally flawed concept. There was no counterplay for chaining FF stabs, and he wasn't a very effective killer due to his slow movement speed and his lack of ability to secure the hook. However, this rework has effectively turned him into a template of a killer, with barely any identity left besides his rockin' theme song. He now has standard movement speed, standard terror radius, and his ability has been averaged out so extremely that he is, bar none, THE LEAST INTERESTING KILLER IN THE GAME. I don't even know where to begin, so let's start with his ability, Feral Frenzy.

First off, the entire ability has been stripped of anything that made it fun to begin with. You move slower, vault slower, it recharges slower, you get blinded more after using it, and you need a full bar to use it. This not only guts its utility for travelling the map at speed to apply pressure, it also makes it just plain BORING to use. It no longer feels exhilarating or fun in the slightest. Add to that heavy penalties like losing it if you miss a swing, which can happen for reasons like my knife locking on to a tree for some reason, you lose your power and the chase. Losing 50% of your gauge for attacking outside FF is just the cherry on the blah sundae. Not only that, but the other half of his identity wasn't just smacked with the nerf bat, it was beaten into the ground. Let's talk about Deep Wounds.

Now, the timer cannot be lowered by attacks, and also won't tick down while in the Terror radius. What this means is that Feral Frenzy now has even less reason to be used, and Deep Wounds apply very little pressure to survivors. Killers can no longer see the Deep Wound timer, a minor change but one that is damaging nonetheless, since the Legion now has no idea whether or not the wound has ticked down at all, and thus doesn't know how well he is pressuring the survivors and can't react accordingly. Not only that, but survivors can evade a Legion almost indefinitely thanks to the increased TR, which means that by the time the Wound timer begins to tick, the Legion is already too far away to capitalize.

These two changes make Deep Wounds effectively intangible, providing no feedback or visible benefit to the killer; the killer can't see how their ability is impacting the game. Bear Traps are similar, however they are a much greater threat than Deep Wound will ever be. My major complaint with the Legion now is that there is nothing left to enjoy when playing him. His now-mediocre abilities provide little room for intelligent play that other killers don't already provide in a more interactive form, and he is overall, just so BORING. A strategy I liked to employ as the pre nerf Legion was "catch and release", similar to execution to the moonwalk, but not as cancerous. What I mean is that after applying mass DW to a group of survivors, I would chase them off, and use Stridor + Sloppy + Bloodhound to track down a survivor who had decided to stop moving to mend, and down them. It felt good because I built my Legion around it, and survivors had a chance to get away if they saw / heard me coming. Using a killer's power in an intelligent way is an important part of playing as a killer. Nurses have to time their blinks correctly, Trappers and Hags have to place their traps in devious locations, Cannibal...well never mind him but still. The satisfaction in playing as a killer comes with using that Killer's ability to the best of yours. With the new Legion, there is none of this. He is effectively a hollow man, of no substance and lacking in any distinguishing features.

Obviously, this is from a Killer perspective, as those who played as Legion were most negatively impacted by these changes. Note that as a survivor, I didn't have any major issues with the Legion. Frank's Mix Tape is always a pain, but it's a very rare addon. Meaning that they're rare enough that a killer must spend a large amount of bp to have access to it every game, and I can think of other very rare addons that are equally pertinent to a killer's success. However, Frank's Mix Tape and Stab Wounds Study have the most noticeable feedback for the survivors, so I can understand why they stick out. Furthermore, while it is true that Legion excels at tunneling with no counterplay (besides stealth, which most of my perks were built around, hence why I didn't hate him as much as others), and I regret that this playstyle is available for use, this rework was not the way to go. The old Legion did have several cool aspects to him, such as the raw speed of Feral Frenzy and the pressure applied to groups of survivors (exemplified by his perk Discordance). My ideal version of the Legion would be to roll back the 2.7.0 changes, because a flawed killer concept is better than a blank concept killer. Because he is flawed, there are few changes that can be made that do not gut him as an idea. In a perfect world, Moonwalking would be removed and tunneling with Feral Frenzy would be nerfed, however I am ambivalent towards ff tunneling. He already takes longer than usual to finish a chase, and while some consider ff tunneling to be unfun, I myself honestly considered it part of the game, same as when a EW1 Michael Myers sneaks up on me early in the round because I happened to be looking the other way, or a Plague instantly downs me after going into the broken status because there wasn't a pallet nearby. It's a game, things happen, and in the end someone always has to hold the short end of the stick.
