the changes the legion need
So after playing 6+ game as a rank 1 killer, the legion as a lot of potential and i am sure he can end up in the top 5, however his power is punishing for himself in many ways,here are the changes i belive that should be made for him to make him way better.
First of all, deep wound, the fact the survivors have to heal twice is a good time saver, tho it doesn'T take much time for them to heal, even if there's add-ons for it, it should slightly be increased by default.
nurse's calling does NOT trigger when they heal their deep wounds, which tbh is dumb, it really should trigger it like any other healing action,
i noticed, unless it is a bug, that when they heal deep wounds, they do not make any noises, no healing sounds or pain moans, nothing, even without iron will, they don'T make noises until deep wound is healed, it doesn'T make sense.
Now the power itself.
The power itself doesn'T need to many changes, i only see 2-3 needed changes, the third one isn't needed, if it could be added it would be nice.
First of all, hitting a target that already had deep wounds, it makes you have a full hit recovery and then you have the fatigue, i guess it is a bug and will be like the nurse which will only make you have the fatigue.
Second, hiting the same target, instead of just giving you the fatigue state and deplete your power bar, it should just deplete it by 20-30% for each hit, because trying to down survivor with it is an EXTREME time waster, you should be able to down the same survivor if you wish, but you could give 2-3 hits if you are lucky, if they run away it will be 2, if they hit corners or wall it i will be 3, downing survivors with it takes too much time, this change would allow the legion to be able to use his power in change to also down survivors more easily, because let's be real, 110% speed without any power to help you, isn't easy.
last one which isn't needed, change the default sprint speed to 120%, make the duration slightly shorter, i am ok with this.
So these are the changes i believe the legion need to make him a REALLY viable and good killer.
Thank for reading and let me know what you think. see you in the fog.

Always keep in mind deep wound is not a normal healing action, its a mend action a new mechanic, the fact that legion can string the power multiple times reseting the cooldown after each new hit is why Nurses should not see it, like the pig traps its a time waster they can just make it happen faster and multiple times, if nurses worked on it it would be a bit too strong, also frenzy to lowers the bar by 1/3 imo that doesnt need changed as you can break chase but keep them close enough so you can see where they go and you will almost guarantee an easy M1 down.
Legion is very strong in the right hands with the right setup, I cant count how many people have played them while hardly used their power and then said in the end game chat they are week killer, they are highly viable it will just take time to learn.
It has been one day of the PTB, nothing to do with the killer or survivor apart from bugs should be changed right now until people learn them well and how to play v them, making changes now whether buff or nerfs is just another Freddy scenario, it needs a lot more testing, some of the audio does need toned down as for one the heartbeat is really loud and also some of the lighting needs changed along with new fat shaming spots, better to work on bugs and QOL changes and see how the killer/survivor play pans out.
I'll probably come back here and say what I think once I've had a chance to play the PTB, but I just wanted to congratulate you for now on offering a fair and informed criticism of the killer's weaknesses while acknowledging his potential. You're the first person I've seen to do that, so good job!
