Legion buff

in Feedback and Suggestions

While legion is much better than he used to be (them), still something is missing and here is what can be done

  1. Increase base FF speed to 7.0
  2. Each consecutive hit increase speed by 0.5m/s
  3. 4th hit instadowns and ends feral frenzy

Optional changes:

  1. iridescent button basekit
  2. FF base duration increased to 15s

    That would be way too much.

    Disclaimer of Bias: I don't like to play as or against Legion, but I am a killer main. I stick to the higher level killers like Hillbilly, Unknown, and Singularity, so it's not like I'm brave enough to say, "Legion's strong enough, I get a 5k every time and only lose one generator." I still tend to wipe the floor with him, but only because my MMR is low as him. Regardless, I do think Legion is in the bottom half of Killers, and should get some buffs, but I respectfully don't like these buffs.

    A good buff for a killer should increase the skill ceiling, meaning you have to learn a new tech, and it ideally has as much counterplay to it as before. Making Legions FF speed higher, and making the 4th hit an insta down doesn't give him a new skill to learn, and reduces his counterplay.

    To compromise:

    1. Increase his Vault/Pallet Vault speed by 0.3 seconds, so he can perform body block techniques a little better.
    2. FF Speed increases towards the end (starting at 5.2 m/s, and then during last 3 seconds gains an increase of 0.4 m/s). This way he has a risky final chance period to get a survivor, but simply entering Feral Frenzy to catch up to an injured survivor is not made better than it is. I know this contradicts what I said about buffing his speed to 7m/s being bad because it just making him better, but because you'd have to compensate for the sudden increase in speed, there is some skill to learn behind it.
    3. Lastly, If Performer a successful Feral Slash during the last 1.5 seconds of Feral Frenzy, and then cancels his power within 2 seconds, his cancellation will be reduced from 2.5 seconds to 2 seconds. This way if he's not going for another survivor, but isn't getting the final slash, he can do a special trick to cut down on his chase time, especially if the survivor is in a dead zone.

    I kind of think the Button Add on being Basekit is too good, just because he doesn't really lose anything when he vaults a pallet. It's not like Demogorgon or Hillbilly where they both stop moving after the breaking and require some wind up time. Even Singularity still has to slow down before over clock mode is engaged, so it's not like he's breaking the pallets faster at no cost.

    Again, all of this is from someone who doesn't like to play as or against Legion, so don't take my opinion too seriously.

    Legion don´t need buffs anymore.
