Small Legion buff that might make them good enough

There are two main reasons Legion is seen as a really bad killer.

  1. Their power can't be used to help down a survivor
  2. Hitting an injured survivor with their power barely has any effect

I'd like to suggest something for the second point that would make Legion's powerful more useful: Double the time it takes to mend when Legion inflicts deep wounds on an injured survivor. This could also apply when you hit a survivor that already has deep wounds applied to them.

Adding this would address both the uselessness of hitting a survivor in FF twice and hitting an injured survivor in FF. The only thing that might need to change with it are the blade addons, but a simple fix for that is just not letting the blades extend the already extended mend time.

    I like it.

    But it's clear BHVR don't care; They slaughtered Legion & then ignored him. Now they've slaughtered Nurse and will ignore her, and Spirit's next.

    Lol. she has a cooldown on her power. The cooldown has it's own cooldown (Fatigue has to finish before the cooldown will start)

    And in spit of all that, she STILL moves slower than a WALKING Survivor.

    She lost ALL her map pressure and 50% of her chase ability. Anyone calling her 'top tier' just hopes she will get nerfed harder or has no idea what they are talking about.

    I wish they would fix legion. I love them but can't use them at certain ranks.

  • I like your idea and would like to add one too.

    Mending from deepwounds now has skill checks and lasts for 12 sec (instead of 15). However, all add-ons that increase time to mend get buffed (from 1.5->3.0 seconds and 3->5 seconds. Also deepwounded survivors can't repair, sabotage, or heal until mended.

    Honestly, if DW procs while a Survivor is Mending; they should incap. Then there would be a reason to pressure people who are Mending, even though it does not progress in a chase.

    But he's a punching bag. A BP farm. This is the future of all Killers. He and Nurse are the first.

    Nurse is far from slaughtered i am worried about Spirit tho the only change she needs is to make prayer beads ultra rare and father's glasses very rare but the devs probably ruin her by giving her to many nerfs like legion

    @Entity_Burger

    She is still good but mostly I agree and you forgot a really important aspect of that too, she is not that FUN anymore.

    @EverflowingRiver

    Same :C

    Honestly this wouldnt fix the core problem of Legion, but still its not a bad buff, the core problem is you have no power to kill as you mentioned above. Thats for my opinion the issue that should be fixed fast as possible.

    I wasn't any good with the old nurse. Could never really catch anyone. The cooldown barely limits much of anything other than chane blinks. With her new add-ons, I actually have more fun playing as her now than I used to. 4.6 m/s speed after a lethal blink is great for people that aren't necessarily the best at aiming blinks. I know that basically means fast movement for a lucky shot, but combine that with a short undetectable chase spices things up.

    I kinda like the new add-ons that essentially imitate Nurses Calling III and Stridor III. Frees up a perk slot or 2.

    Iridescent add-ons are pretty lame, though. +1 blink to make her terrible at her own stage? Why? Why not increased charge time or fatigue? -1 blink for faster movement can be okay, but I find myself needing that extra few feet every time.

    I can see where you're going, and it's interesting, but you'd just end up with infinite mending again, which is one of the reasons they nerfed legion in the first place. Maybe a slight increase with a hard cap. I really wish they'd just go back to reducing the timer again. Even if the reduction was less, it'd be better. And now that you can't see the DW timer, you wouldn't know how much you'd need to hit them to down them, so it'd still be more balanced than before.

    I'm all for Legion buffs, but mending is just too boring to make it any longer than it is currently.

    I think if they'd rework the addons, increase Feral Frenzy speed, and reduce the stun duration, Legion would be in a good spot. But eventually something needs to be changed about mending and/or Deep Wounds.

    Bad idea.

    30-sec mending time doesn't sound cool at all, only annoying.

    As a nurse main, I just get 2 words to you

    git gud

    fatigue does not need to end before getting the blink charges, she is A tier to any good nurse, is still the best killer on the game if put lots of times on her (but that's only to the top 0.5% or so)

    She did get a massive nerf, but was distant to every other killer that she is still fine
