Someone needs to explain why Legion is utter garbage.
It makes no sense to me. You release a killer with a potentially fantastic power, and then nerf it into oblivion to the point where the killer itself isn't even worth playing. Why? To WHAT end? Explain yourselves. PLEASE. Cuz I really don't get it.
Basically, from my perspective, Legion was a scapegoat for future killer powers by being used as a "test" of sorts. Fine, if that was the start. But now, there are 20 killers. Any excuse you have for Legion being at the bottom of the barrel in every conceivable notion is moot at this point. They're weaker than the survivors! By a HUGE margin!
The power is basically a time waster with no benefits to the killer whatsoever, and hitting the same target while the power is active actually PUNISHES you for playing the killer. Real nice. And if anyone even remotely goes "But Balancing", I will reach through the screen and slap you.
The killer has no redeeming features whatsoever. The power attachments are "meh" at best. The power itself isn't even worth mentioning, asides from being able to vault. Big woop. I can ignore obstacles with Spirit, Nurse, Hag, Clown, Wraith, Nightmare, Huntress and Plague (at the very least) by using speed, mindgames, placement of traps and skill shots to outplay. Legion? Gets punished for using their power.
What a joke. Your rework needs a rework. The power needs to be USEFUL to the killer, not detrimental. So backwards... 🤨🙄😒

Well, i just got a 4k with legion and got to rank 1 with him. He isn't bad, you're probably just playing him bad. Legion is about splitting the pressure and getting everyone injured. This slows the game down for a huge amount. When everyone is injured, just down someone and go to you're next target. With the proper perks he can be an absolute monster. Addons don't really do much for me though, I can perfectly play without.

Legion is an exceptional killer, being able to apply pressure to everyone at once and even see people in lockers. If you think legion is bad you're probably playing him wrong because not only is he super fun but he keeps everyone injured easily, not to mention he's good for locating survivors as well.

😂 these two have to be trolling. First off, being rank 1 or hitting rank 1 with X killer means nothing. (2) Legion being the worst killer isn’t up for debate. (3) Knowing how to play a killer optimally, doesn’t make them a “strong killer” (4) Ever since the ruin nerf, spawns have gone to #########. Put bond on and watch how many survivors spawn together, on average, with no offerings. If the game forces everyone together, it makes the killers job easier - where getting early pressure is easier, but requires much less skill

No, he doesn't apply pressure to everyone at once. Hate to break it to ya but even with his best addons to increase ability duration you aren't doing ######### unless everyone is right ontop of each other. Survivors that are farther than pissing distance just have to hold that magical W key and run in a straight line and they'll outlast you. Now you're punished because you're waiting out your stun recovery and whoever you hit before probably just dipped and is another area code by now.
If you're trying to use his power as an easy first hit then ghost face is better. If you're trying to just make everyone injured then plague. It also doesn't mean ######### even if everyone IS injured because then they don't have to care about healing and just power through it. Or they just heal because it's not like it takes that much time, and it's not like he's really pressuring the rest of the map that much.
Playing against some red ranks and getting a 4k also doesn't mean much when the ranking systen is about as scuffed as legion is. The amount of people in red ranks who just camp pallets and couldn't run a loop on a nascar track is way too damn high.
What he does as a killer is just not impactful on the game at all, and to make matters worse he's not even good at what he does.

Watch raging ryuga go on a 59 4k streak with legion and come back to me.

Listen, I didnt like the Legion Nerf at all either. And I find them boring and uncomfortable to play currently.
Legion is the only real joke to me in this game, The Killer who stabbed me to run away. (#########)
I believe they need to return to the original ideas but balance them better instead of removing thier old gameplay modes.
I can only hope BHVR will do something soon, cause I miss the fun we had with old Legion and I dont have any fun with current Legion.

Legion is nowhere near the worst killer. Having a built in 'wall-hack' with increased movement speed attached is anything but terrible. The mere idea that his power cannot be used to down survivors makes it a negative, is ridiculous. His power allows them to do a lot in a match. It gives intel which can easily be used to rotate pressure without a wasted moment. That's inside and outside of it, once you make a mental note of where people are, great, all up to the player then on how to play it from there. His power was busted before, his power now is still good and can be used in an intimidating way. Maybe they could use tiny buffs in certain areas, namely the add-on department, but no, Legion is fine. Your way of looking at their power is very narrow and kinda seems agitated and warped by your enjoyment of what it once was. It will never be similar to that again, because that version was bull and broken. I'd say just try to look at Frenzy as an intel and pressure tool, rather than with a "I can't use it to down anyone" mentality. You should be able to see Legions glory if you do that. Forget what others here said about "certain perks make him a beast" (paraphrased), Legion at basekit with nothing on is actually really decent. And that's the mark of a good killer; no add-ons or perks and still able to demonstrate their domination potential frequently. Nurse has it, Spirit, Freddy, GF, Plague, Huntress, Hillbilly, Legion, Myers, Hag, Pyramid Head, Demogorgon. They all have that insane potential to their gameplay. Forget 'optimal', these killers have 2000iq gameplay potential, have highly interactive and highly intimidating chases, find it easy to build momentum. So measure a killer by that when judging their strength. By my analysis and judgment, i'd conclude Leatherface is the worst killer. Minimal potential for power iq play, heavily build dependant, restricted use for chase interaction.

Short answer: No antiloop while survivor is injured and luck based power.
Long answer with explanation: I don't know why do people call him mid tier killer since you don't even have a collision in fatique, so you can't block windows and survivor can just vault it when you standing in front of it. Hitting survivor with deep wound gives nothing, 4 seconds fatique(nurse have a 3 seconds fatique) for non-lethal power, can't use your power at any time so if you miss one attack, you need 24 seconds to be able to get a first hit. Btw, if people don't heal and just do gens - you playing kinda like plague, but she has her corrupt fountain so she can use it for antiloop while legion have nothing. Why I'm calling their power luck based. Sometimes you just can't hit even 2 survivors in one use of frenzy, for example if you find only one survivor at the start - you have no pressure, old legion had an option to hit nearby survivors but it was kinda like a good bonus for not tunneling right of the start while he had a lot less punishing power(for himself) with easiest antiloop in the game.
