Legion Buff Idea

So it seems like a big reason why legion is so weak is, because at top levels you just don't heal against legion and functionally his ability is useless. Though also at bottom levels noobs heal against it and waste time making the ability decently useful. Plus mend is a boring interaction that just consumes 12 seconds. With this change Legion will now be m1 killer + intel, like the doctor.

Legion should instead stab a knife into your body during feral frenzy and you will remain broken until you pull the knife out(12 secs). While this knife is in your body you'll be unable to complete tasks like in Doctor's Madness Tier 3. This knife is in between the shoulder blades so it's near impossible to remove by yourself without screaming.

NEW FERAL FRENZY EFFECTS

  • Disables Survivors' ability to perform any Repairing, Healing, Sabotaging, Searching, or Cleansing interactions until they successfully "Remove Knife"
  • The survivor will remain broken until the knife is removed.
  • The survivor will scream revealing their location if they pull the knife out by themselves
  • The survivor will stay silent when the knife is removed by another survivor

This will add a bit of intel legion will need while he is on his chase. And it wouldn't be too broken because legion still can only chase one person.

There's actually a decision making process in "mending" now. Tell the legion where I am or find a teammate. Or even mend when the killer is far away so he's not encouraged to chase me.

Same with unhooks now. If the survivor wants to get unhooked without repercussions of getting caught again he has to stick with the other survivor. If the knife is removed instantly after the unhook legion will know where they are. Also if the survivors sticks together more chain stabbing and survivors can't effectively stay spread out anymore.

If legion also chain stabs two people on the same gen at 95% there's the benefit of the gen not getting completed immediately after legion tries to get the second chain stab.

With this change legion is still an m1 killer with the same 12 second "mending", but now he has a greater intelligence advantage and a bit more effective in slowing the game down.

    While the extra information will be nice, Legion's already one of the best trackers in the game. This will make him better at collecting information but won't help him where he needs it.

    Legion's flaws are the following.

    1. Poor 1v1 ability. He's a short 115% killer with the survivor injured and that's it. He has little else.

    2. Low mobility.

    3. Frenzy is very punishing with a brutal fatigue destroying any creative use mid-chase.

    4. Frenzy isn't very fast. 130% is meaningless if survivors hold W and are 12+m away. Easy fix is to have it be 150% and raise the 12m requirement to 20m, ensuring he can chain hits if survivors are remotely close together.

    5. His add-ons range from decent to downright bafflingly bad. Frank's Mixtape and Stab Wounds are the most notorious examples.

    And pet peeve? Legion *stabs* people with a single knife. Removing a knife is more in line with what you'd do against a Trickster, who actually throws knives.
