I don't ######### know, for what reason developers god damn ignore the Legion. He has obviously so many problems. The Legion and The Clown are 2 the worst Killers in the ######### game and they are indifferent.

They looked on the Legion so many times and they cannot fix him. Legion is very unique, and thats why Legion is sooo frustrating to play.

Its fun to vault pallets, but I have no mobility, no pressure, no 1v1 skills, no slowdown. 5.2 m/s?? IT IS EASY TO RUN AWAY FROM THOSE KIDS, IT IS EASY. His mend is such trivial. If Survivors are red ranks - they will refuse to heal and my power is nothing.

#########, I do not know at all, it is beyond me why FRANKS MIX TAPE AND STAB WOUNDS STUDY ARE STILL THE SAME. 2 PURPLE AND USELESS ADD-ONS, NOT, EVEN 4. Filthy Blade is weaker than even Pig's Crate Of Gears. Cold Dirt is mandatory, but also WEAK.

I CANNOT STAND IT! Legion is so ######### weak, he is so ignored, he is unfun to play against and as, and developers did nothing to help them since the rework.

They gave them better speed? BUT REMOVED LOTS OF PERK SYNERGIES. SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST IS #########, SLOPPY IS #########, PINS ADD-ONS ARE USELESS because survivors just wait and repair generators. Survivors aren't punished at all for being injured. They've got dead Hard and feel comfortable.

I don't damn know for what reason developers hate the Legion so much. They hate Killers in general. Breakable Walls? Nope, only for one map, and yep, even with broken brekable walls on the new map there are miserable god loop of two windows on the second floor of the building.

I don't know, it is so incompetent, it is so just incompetent. Survivors queues are terrible, I want to have some chill but I cant because I have to wait for 5 minuts - it is the entire game with gen rushes..

    I don't think promoting suicide in the title is the best way to get your point across, and swearing excessively in your forum doesn't help achieve your point either.

    I think everyone understands your frustration, Legion is a flawed killer, but for now all I can advise is try maining another killer or have a bit of a break from the legion or the game if you must. And if you don't, try and play a bit of survivor too. I don't really know how to help or respond to this forum.

    Edit: Thanks for removing the 'suicide' element of your title, much appreciated.

    I for one don't mind playing Legion and find him good. Survivors don't heal? Loop them. You have to do the same with killers like Wraith and Myers. Survivors being injured with Legion is the same as survivors being exposed with Ghostface.

    Wraith can cloak and get a surprise hit on an injured survivor, ending a chase instantly. Even easier if he runs nurse's calling.

    Myers at least gets reduced TR in EW2 and he can hit EW3 and gain the ability to one shot even healthy survivors.

    When Ghostface exposes someone, it's usually when he's right on top of them, so there isn't really much looping to do if they let him get close enough to stalk to 100%. Ghostface's exposure also can down a healthy survivor.

    The thing with these three's powers is that their powers contribute to them actually downing a survivor, Legion's does not, that's the key difference.

    The best comparison for Legion is Plague, both have the ability to punish and discourage healing to the point where nobody will, but at that point they are just standard speed M1 killers and their powers are completely taken out of the equation.

    Can you win with Legion and Plague? Of course you can, and Legion punishes survivors who heal or group up extremely hard, but if survivors are smart enough not to do either of those things he becomes very weak.

    And that's where it comes down to basic looping knowledge.

    I came from Hillbilly, a killer who you really have to choose if you want to go for The Chainsaw or the hit, and due to so many loops being hard to use with a chainsaw, you have to be a basic M1 killer.

    The thing is Billy's power still has a use in map mobility, even if you aren't getting insta-downs. Billy gets no penalty from sprinting across the map, and pretty much can immediately start his chainsaw back up for an insta-down if he finds someone. His power also can take him completely across the map assuming you don't run into something.

    If Legion tries that, and uses his power to traverse the map quickly, first off he doesn't get nearly as far as feral frenzy is only 10 seconds unless you hit someone, and that's unlikely if you're just using it for map movement as you don't see scratch marks. Second, he now has to wait for his power to reload which at baseline is a whopping 20 seconds before addons before using it again for any reason, deep wounds, map mobility, or otherwise.

    If you have great looping knowledge that makes you good with all M1 killers, at that point it's better to not take Legion cause at least other killers have powers that can help in ending a chase and putting that looping knowledge to good use.

    As I said, Legion excels when survivors are stupid, and either group up or try to heal continuously and waste time that he can undo instantly with a quick stab, but if they aren't playing into his game his power becomes a non-factor, and he's an M1 killer with no power.
