Your Thoughts on Legion?

I'm curious what you guys think about Legion. I always hear people complain about him- survivors don't like him because he's hard to avoid, while killer's don't like him because he's too "weak".

I'm not really sure what I think about him yet, so I'm curious what you guys think. Do you think he's fine the way he is? Or what would you do to "fix" him?

I know this is a lot to ask of the dbd community, but please keep the comments civil lol.

    As a Legion main that knows the Legion before and after patch, I think he is now average if we compare him to the other killers and just thinking on efficiency.

    How ever, the fun of playing the Legion lays for me somewhere by a 30% mark from 100%.

    By the pre patch Legion was that different. There was the fun bursting through the 100% mark for me, while he was a really low tier killer in comparison to the other killers.

    I hope that bhvr makes the Legion 1 day fun again.

    Edit: What I would do to make them fun again: Well I know all things necessary for it will never come back, but... The stupid stuns could be reduced or deleted (depending about which stun we speak) and no impact of m1 attacks on frenzy would be nice.

    I think they're weak, everything they do Plague does better. I think they should rework them like they did with the Doctor, keep the idea of the power (running fast and stab people) and improve it, also rework those awful addons.

    No. Thats what i think when i hear legion. Oni is legion but better in every way.

    Oni can down multiple survivors in one power go, legion cannot

    Oni can go mega fast in short bursts, legion can too

    Oni is fun, legion is not

    Was the worst thing in the game until Ghostface came along.

    Just a dull, dull killer to go against. Gets a free hits that pretty much unvoidable. He just runs behind you, vaults and hits. If you dont want to stay injured then you’re holding M1 all game.

    Playing him its pretty much the same. No thought as to where you put traps, aim hatchets etc you just tap m2 and then mindlessly follow the survivor to get the free hit.

    Needs a rework asap

    I only just recently bought him and he's ok. His power is a little underwhelming, but pretty easy to earn points from. I do feel his Add-Ons are a bit meh in my opinion. He's great at slowing the survivors down when using him with Sloppy and Thana, but beyond that, he just feels he's lacking. I still really enjoy using him, despite his slight let downs.

    Legion needs some buffs and/or a rework. I have never ever once had any issue playing against Legion and never felt they were unfair in any manner. But you know if people complain enough, changes can happen.

    I respect your opinion, but the free hit... Depending on the experience of a killer and his playstyle has nearly every killer a "free" hit.

    As example: No matter which killer I play, - I wait with my attack until I literally run into the survivor.

    The reason for that is simple: The survivor has then no chance to avoid my hit. You see - you can get with every killer a nearly 100% hit. Special abilities are absolutly not necessary for it (and so are not worth mentioning imo).

    The power is not lethal. You can get the first hit quick, but after that its m1 game. Legion is designed for farming, not for killing.

    Also, Legions power cant get them far outside of their terror radius, so, if survivors split, the power can be near useless.

    The last important thing that is worth mentioning is survivors counters. Medkits, we'll Make It and Botany are additional counter on top of staying away from the killer. Survivors can heal faster than Legion can injure survivors. xD
