Why does Legion not see scratchmarks in Frenzy?
Jason can throw junk at people, pinning them to walls, go invisible, move super fast while invisible, appear superfast nearby, and he can see survivors doing anything except crouching. He even gets a footprint tracking that gets around Elusive. ELUSIVE DOES NOT WORK ON JASON. Are you honestly telling me Jason is weaker than Legion and therefore needs that? Not asking for Jason nerfs, btw.
No, I don't care that you hate Legion. I COULD be playing something worse, like Aura Nurse, or any Blight/Ghoul.

Old decisions that stuck.
Also, did anyone seriously say Jason is better than Legion? Because the level of delusion needed for that statement is astronomical.
I agree Legion needs a buff, I don't believe this is it. Not because I think it would make him op, far from it, I believe its a QOL change that would be used to deny future buffs.
My suggested buff would be make it so the stabs add up to a loss of a healthstate if you don't fully heal. Most good survivors don't waste time healing fully because you're just going to get deep wounded anyway for free. My suggestion would be that after 3/4 hits you go down fully due to being irreparably stabbed and have bled out, forcing survivors to fully heal after 1/2 or risk getting double hit and going down.
A big buff, but wouldnt make him op, and would help him benefit a bit more from the hit and run playstyle whilst allowing him to apply pressure and not have it removed in 10s so he can go after another survivor.
Would literally just go back to the same style of game it was back when he could degress the deepwound survivors got by hitting them again in power. No way we should add that back in any form in my opinion.
I don't mind it; it makes the legion at least have LoS if they want to start with their power which limits their range, and allows the survivor to outplay them if they are healthy. a fair trade for an easy injury power.
seeing blood would be nice though
If they did this, Id also implement a "if you hit a survivor in deep wound your forced out of power" to match, so the max they could do is 2 per power, and it'd only affect one person.
I also remember the old style, but that was downing someone off 1 use of power, this would take 3 if they hit someone not fixing deep wound.
Do they need to? You trigger your power when you have a survivor in view, stab them (long as you don't whiff it) then you have killer instinct on every surv in the same postcode as you. Scratch marks too would be kind of pointless.
I would love for Legion to get scratchmarks instead of KI but I doubt anyone who plays him would be willing to let go of the game"s most handholdy mechanic. Comparing him to Jason is pretty bad in this case. Jason's KI is at least counterable. Legion's isn't.
I don’t see why legion shouldn’t be able to see scratch marks, it’s honestly outdated.
He being able to see them wouldn’t help a ton outside of the first hit, but again I can’t think of valid reason why he shouldn’t get the ability to see scratch marks; on top of killer instinct if he gets a hit.
Maybe visual clutter? But I don’t think bvhr should be too concerned about that atm.
No one likes mending simulator.
And it starts to show, that some people did not play against old legion. This killer is a failed design and they are deliberatly kept low tier to not get another crayon consumer situation.
Why istead thats kinda stupid, he should have scratch marks and pools of blood like any other killer and only time it should be blocked like its now is when he injured that survivor with feral frenzy but why he doesnt have same tracking as any other killer when he enters frenzy and didnt hit anyone its stupid.
Another archaic part from time where it made sence but its totaly unacceptable nowdays just like trapper steping into his own traps or pinhead breaking his chains etc. litellary the relic of old times.
Because Killer Instinct is, again, the most braindead, handholdy mechanic in the whole game. Legion has a terrible design. He gets the most free hits of anyone. If you can't land the first hit with LoS while going super fast that's a you problem, because the other three hits are free. There's no reason for Legion to have this when he gets a big red beacon to follow. Like what does he need scrach marks for?
I agree, it's a weird outdated quirk to their power that makes little sense when compared to the power crept nonsense that some of the other Killers can bring to the table these days.
As someone that uses their Frenzy for mobility, it's a little annoying to have to drop out of power prematurely near a worked on gen to see which way the Survivor ran off. I also wonder how many times I've missed an opportunity to get a chase started because I've not been able to see scratch marks when using their power to get around the map. It's even worse on indoor maps because it can be so easy to lose a Legion by just running around a corner. It's not even a good mobility power.
I think BHVR are somewhat reluctant to buff Legion too much because of how so many Survivors feel about them. Better not to upset the applecart, I guess. But I'm not too concerned tbh because their recent buffs have been welcome ones. I'm happy with them at the moment and the scratch marks things is more a QoL irritation than anything else to me.
I'm sorry but anyone who says it's an outdated quirk I think should play against only legion from now on and tell me its fun.
They need a full power rework thats fun to play as and against, end of.
Jason's tracking in OE is superior to Legions', in addition to his ranged ability and built in moris to prevent saves. All Legion has is KI, runs a little faster, and easy injuries, they can't even down in their power outside of the 5-piece combo, which is easily countered by anyone with a room-temp IQ by either spreading out or pallet stunning. I laughed HARD when BHVR banned them from 2v8, with all the pallets they were easy to bully.
Scratch marks aren't even really a buff, more a QoL update than anything. I do find it amusing you think KI is braindead, when we have perks like Self-Preservation, Vigil + Sprint Burst, Windows, etc
Jason being overstuffed isn't the standard we should be using but it kind of isn't 100% superior. If all four people crouch Jason get zero information. There is no similar counter to Legion aside from spreading out and hoping he picks the wrong direction.
More than one thing can be braindead. I hate SB and Vigil. I dont use Windows but it's not necessarily braindead. There's no way for people to know what pallets their teammates have already used. SP isn't doing that much more than a locker can do against aura. Killers have many perks that activate from them doing either nothing at all or from them failing at a task.
Killer instinct works only in certain situations adn same can be said yout arua reaading. Legion is easy to injure muiltiple survivors but then just m1 killer who doesnt have anything to aid him to get down basekit. Why he shouldnt have them when he doesnt have the killer instinct yet hmm?
He should have normal tracking till he gets first hit in feral frenzy and you hating him I get it but realy your hate is blinding you legion is not even b-tier killer he is underpowered in modern era.
Reworks are what many characters need but we all know how fast it goes and I bet the devs wont get skullmerchant done in 2026 they will maybe get barely trappers.
All you have to do against legion is to jump on gens and spread same like you do when putting butter on your bread because if you spread his chance to get 4 hits and finish someone with 5th is way smaller, on top legion is bad in chase just m1 so if survivors dont stay all piled in one location and do gens spread legion has no such power all he can do is get faster injure and maybe break pallets with frenzy if he has his best addon and thats it.
I’d rather play aura Nurse than Legion. At least Nurse has to work for her hits. Legion just gets free killer instinct because why? Legion needs his annoying free hits just to function as a killer. He’s the worst. And this isn’t even mentioning that most people run him with thana just to slow the game down to a crawl.
