The One Stop Shop for Legion ideas! Come on in and take a look...

Look at the feedback and suggestions subform and see my apost about legion's concept.

This is how i hope the devs fix legion. I ve got everything explained there.

Thanks for going through with it, it's nice when a good conversation arises about a serious problem in this game. I haven't sunk an abundance of time into Legion yet, but I would be a lot more inclined to if it was this version. I'm sure it could use tweaks and polish but I think this would put them in a far better and more usable place.

I personally don't think that really does anything. You shouldn't tie the power of a killer to unoptimal survivor plays, in this case not splitting up and running away from the TR.

And if you tie a power to survivor actions in general it better be a damn good tradeoff. Like in the case of Plague, you can deny her Corrupt Purge but in return you are one-shot for the rest of the game and your stealth is severly hindered.

So how's the tradeoff looking for this idea? Survivors can prevent your one-shot but in return they have to... split up? So exactly what optimal survivors do anyway? You could say that's pretty much the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.

Maybe if there was something to force survivors to group up, like removing the option to self-mend. But just on its own this idea doesn't really give Legion much.

Also, my persoanl take on giving FF lethality would be allowing it to down injured survivors who are currently NOT suffering from DW. That would A. give him lethality, B. would improve his stall game as survivors would actually have a huge reason to fully heal up, C. would give him additional options for playing chase, D. should pretty much avoid the whole tunneling issue.

Whenever you want I think

(Thanks @UlvenDagoth for the inspiration.)

Here's my idea to help with, imo, Legion's two main problems:

* For killers, that’s getting a second hit and downing the survivor.

* For survivors, it's having to mend, which is boring and makes Legion obnoxious to go against.

My solution -- Give Legion a secondary power.

Mob Mentality:

When a survivor is suffering from the Deep Wound status effect, press the secondary power button to remove the survivor's Deep Wound status effect and summon one of the three other Legion members.

(If multiple survivors are suffering from the Deep Wound status effect, the survivor closest to Legion will be selected when the Legion presses the secondary power button.)

The Legion member will appear 2 seconds later, crouched down in the spot you summoned him or her and wait for any survivor to get within range. When a survivor is within range, the Legion member will lunge at the survivor and attempt to hit them.

If a healthy survivor is hit, he or she will be injured; if an injured survivor is hit, he or she will enter the dying state.

Regardless of whether the hit connects, the Legion member will dissipate in a cloud of smoke.

Legion can summon all three other members this way. If Legion summons a member while all three members are currently on the map, the first member to be summoned will switch to the new location. Legion cannot summon members within 8 meters of another member.

Survivors within 16 meters of Legion members can detect them by looking in their direction for 3 seconds. During detection, survivors will receive an audio cue. Once fully detected, the Legion members will dissipate in a cloud of smoke.

If a survivor sets off a Mob Mentality trap, the Legion receives an audio and visual cue. If survivors fully detect a Legion member, the Legion does not receive an audio and visual cue.

Also, Mob Mentality is a trap so perks, such as Small Game, will work against it.

----------------------------------------------------

Add-on changes to reflect Mob Mentality:

The Legion Pin -- The auras of survivors who fully detect a Legion member or are hit by him or her are revealed for 4 seconds.

Frank’s Mixed Tape -- Legion members are invisible to survivors outside of 8 meters.

Fuming Mixed Tape -- Legion can summon members without requiring survivors to be inflicted with the Deep Wound status effect. Considerably decreases the amount of time required for Survivors to complete the Mend action. 

-----------------------------------------------------

Mob Mentality provides a tool for Legion to counter looping, as well as set ambushes. Survivors paying attention can also detect when the Mob Mentality power has been used as the Deep Wound status effect will immediately disappear. It also speeds up the game for both the survivors and killers if the Legion uses Mob Mentality because Legion can get quicker downs and survivors won’t have to mend. 

Plus, I think it would be awesome for Legion to actually play like, you know, a Legion! Lastly, if possible, it would be extremely cool if the teammates you summoned could wear any cosmetics you’ve acquired, making it so you could customize the look of your own Legion.
