Another thread about legion (pre-3.4.0).
We have been asking about Legion Buffs, In a sense you did by bringing his speed which is a good thing. Now there is three thing that we don't like and one that can be game breaking.
Gamebreaking issue
Old Legion is now back with the oblivious effect added with nemesis and beast of prey perks. This can be fixed a bit by stopping the DW timer while in chase which currently don't.
Legion buffs
There is two things that legion need to be mid-tier because the speed only make the first hit easier and faster but, still doesn't help for chase because of those below.
- Cooldown is 4s : On good survivors this make legion such a bad killer because survivors have time to go on another loop while in fatigue. Lowering the cooldown to 3s and adjusting the add-ons to not be gamebreaking would clearly make legion mid-tier.
- Basic Attack Penalty : Every basic attack you do deplete 50% of the power gauge that need to be removed a killer should not be punished for his power. His power is non-lethal and he make no sense for it to penalized.
What would those changes will have on Legion : His power will be more rewarding and allow more travelling in the maps. He will be less punishing during chase due to his cooldown being lowered. The basic Attack penalty removed will simply allow us to use the power more often as he make no sense for it being depleted with basic attack.
Conclusion : Those change will make Legion mid-tier without being game breaking as old legion. You should remember that old was able to use the power with gauge not being full. Current legion have to wait 20s to use his power and can't down anymore except with frank's mix tape (which take 4 hit to down which take 80s to down). His add-ons is on a very good spot but his power is not except if those change happen. At least we should try them during PTB.

I personally like the idea of him having it back because legion is flawed without it. I smack a survivor i have to let them run away then find another survivor which in that time the survivor heals themself so what did i really do? Also cant the nemesis one be avoided by not pallet stunning him or if you do you cancel out the power anyway.
Yes of course but still he can be exploited.
Like i could see them keeping nemisis but fixing beast of prey because beast of prey is way easier to pull off i feel. To bad dark devotion legion got hit because of feral frenzy no longer being a basic attack.
Yeah, draining the power on basic made no sense after the rework.
@Peanits @PatBrutal Any chance for these to happen.
