The Legion needs some work!

So i would like to see Feral Frenzy actually become a power again, and not just an easier first hit. If he/she was designed to spread out the damage here's a couple of ideas to make him better and more fun and versatile to play.

When the Legion hits a survivor with his FF his movement speed needs to increase drastically, but in return you can slow him down for the first hit even more than now, so that first hit isn't as easy, but spreading out the damage his highly rewarding, but then the speed needs to be much much faster then now.

Increase his pallet vault speed, this change needs to be done, because any unsafe pallets become safe in FF since the vault is so slow the survivor will reach the other side before you can hit them making this the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen in this game.

Double tapping needs to reward the killer somehow without add ons. Currently this mechanic is broken you get directly punished for stabbing the survivor a second time, since nothing happens except you get stunned for 4 seconds and the survivor gets a speed boost.

I suggest that doing this will cause the survivors the blindness effect until fully healed or downed. This way we smack two flies with one knife..?.. The survivors are incentivised to heal up, and Legion gets rewarded for double tapping a survivor and still losing/letting them go.

Since his inital FF speed will be greatly decreased he should have back his ability to activate it whenever he wants, not having to wait 15 seconds for the meter to refill.

And also to reward spreading the damage, i would like to have each survivor hit by FF decrease his stun time. So if it still is 4 seconds on one hit, it is 3,5 with 2 hits, then 3, and then if all survivors are hit he/she only gets stunned for 2,5 seconds, but keep in mind if somebody finished mending while you chased the others you lose one "stack" of the stun reduction.

And just something that would be awesome is. That any survivors that are inside your terror radius will scream and reveal their location if they are mending while you hit another survivor while they still remain in your terror radius. This would synergise really well with my blindness on double tap suggestion and make survivors more afraid of hanging around when legion sprints of to another target.

And to balance these changes/buffs out here are some more suggestions.

When a survivor is in deep wound their aura is revealed to other survivors alerting them of where they and the legion are and also maybe help them get away from legion since his speed is much faster now. The aura will of course not be revealed if they have the blindness effect. Yet again synergizing and rewarding the legion for letting people go with double tap.

If the power becomes to oppresive consider giving a healing boost for x amount of time after mending deep wound, maybe + 10% to not make sloppy butcher/thanathaphobia to oppresive. Or better yet increase the numbers, but make it only affect healing others. Which will synergize great with the aura reading when in deep wound. And also giving survivors incentive to stick together to heal up. Which in turn again is great for the legion if he catches them out all clumped togheter.


That is all i have for now. I feel these are some great ideas and it would be my honour if this is something the team and the community liked. Of course im not a dev and to some, my ideas might be horrible, but if the majority likes it. It would be my pleasure to see these features ripped straight from these pages :) (Or altered ;P)

Thoughts, feedback?

    I do, I totally agree with points like double tapping should have its uses/reward of some kind, I think there are some good points to take from this, thanks for sharing with the forum :D maybe more will contribute

    You have some good ideas and also in the right direction.

    ... But well, I am in love with the first concept of the Legion that has gone live and was active until the Legion patch and so I think that bhvr had everything made right with this version, besides that they have not delete the exploits before the knoweldge of how to do them has spread out and they should have take a better look at the addons. Then the op addons had maybe never annoy so many people.

    Still I like the idea to make frenzy faster and reduce the stuns and what is around it. Even I am prefer "the other way", I still think that you have a great idea.

    The only problem I see is, that survivors are later be able to see where the Legion is. That sounds like a nice idea first, but I ask me if that is in high ranks still necessary. I guess, I would need to see first how that plays out on an ptb. It's really hard for me to answer.

    The survivors will only see people in deepwound not legion exactly, but they can use that info to see somewhat where he is. This is because when he hits 1 person i want him to be very VERY fast! So if the survivors in the area dont start running immediatly he will catch up no matter what.

    And thanks for the nice feedback :)

    Personally i dont think they should wait that long. The only reason i was "ok" with the legion gutting was because he would start out weak and buff him up to a nice place, but instead of doing what they said they where going to do they just forgot about him. And that is not "ok" for me anymore since its been several months and not a single word of what they are going to do to him. Legion is straight up broken now, his power is more of a hindrance and work against him in many cases, unsafe pallets are safe in FF since the vault is to slow. Hitting an injured survivor increases the chase time drastically than just hitting them, double hitting does nothing except stun you for a really long time aswell as giving the survivors an undeserved speed boost. The state he is in is not ok. And should not be at the bottom of the list. Atleast the other killers power dont straight up cuck them except maybe clown. Which i think is soon agreed upon to be the new worst killer by the community. (Slow yourself down to maybe slow down survivors)

    For me legion as a killer is amazing.


    Only problem i see personaly with him is deep wounds effect. It tooks AGES to put survivor into dying state. And in deep wounds it should be your strenght, but after you apply it. Survivor can run easily almost as long as he wants. And any use of ability and hitting same survivor should refresh deep wound time so it wont get abused otherwise i find him fun personaly.
