My suggested Legion changes
Tl.DR at the bottom
So the speed boost they gave Legion in the last patch mattered a lot more then i thought it would and they feel a lot more fun too play
I still think there is room for improvement though so here are my suggestions to make the Legion a killer that's fun too play while also not being obnoxious to vs
The first change i would make is that their powerbar depletes for a quarter instead of ending when they miss an attack
Losing your power, taking a 4 sec stun and having to wait for your power to recharge is a lot of punishment for missing one attack i feel
Second change i would make is to deep wounds, now that sprinting and mending stops the timer there is no reason for it being so long, i would shorten the timer to 2,5 seconds BUT let it reset every time you start sprinting or mending
This insures that a survivor effected by deep wounds only runs or mends while also leaving a buffer so that a random lag spike doesn't just down you
Third change i would make is to let FF also add the oblivious debuff untill mended
This will i feel make it more thrilling for the survivor, no longer is mending a 12 seconds pause on your game in all safety but a 12 second franticly looking around if Legion isn't near
Also allows Legion to get some sneaky downs that will cut the number of chases Legion has to do if he can succesfully sneak up on survivors
And finally a couple of his addons need another look, Stab Wounds Study and Frank mix tape in preticular as in their current version i feel like they will always be either weak or unfair
For Stab Wounds Study i would like to suggest to give some lethality to the legions power
When hitting a survivor with no deep wounds twice in one frenzy they will enter the downed state
For example: you FF survivor A, then you move to survivor B and C, by that time A has finished mending, if you manage to catch up the A and hit him he will go down
And for Frank's mix tape i would give it the yamuoka amulet treatment, let it increase the duration and detection range while reducing the cooldown but in lesser extend then the addons that only affect one of these
Note that i am not a game developer so i'm not sure what impact these changes would have or how hard they are to code
I just wanted to share it cause throwing around more ideas is never a bad thing sorry for the long post
TL.DR
1: lessen the penalty for missing an attack in FF
2:reduce the DW timer to 2,5 sec but let it reset when sprinting or starting the mend action
3: allow FF to apply the oblivious debuff until mended to make mending more thrilling for survivors while allowing the legion some sneaky downs
4: rework some addons
