So a "fun" game as legion

So normally i don't play as legion because well their ######### but today i had the weirdest game ever... literally everyone in the match the moment they saw legion just gave up, now honestly this is the first time this has happened to me and i hope it doesn't happen next round. (I forgot to screenshot the match but 2 peoppe disconnected and 2 people just gave up and came over to me)

    Well, almost nobody wanted that the Legion is so boring to play as and against. That was the decision of a vocal minority a year or so back. Sadly, bhvr had listen to them.

    Makes me almost feel sorry to all the normal survivors who have yet to suffer through it, even I was one of the guys who warned bhvr for this situation -_-

    Legion is the most annoying killer to versus. I can't get out of that game fast enough.

    I mean some survivors are entitled wussies, what else is there to say? I’ve had people disconnect when I down them with Clown and Demogorgon. I mean seriously, it’s not like I’m the best player in the game or anything, just giving up on the first down is kind of sad.

    Give me a call when they decide to delete Legion from the game, that way I can get a refund and buy something for another game :)

    The bad thing is it's just as boring to play as legion as it is to play against him, it's constant mending and if he picks three gens and decides to guard them from the beginning, good luck with your thirty minute m1 simulator you just loaded into

    The stalemate his power causes is no fun for either side

    Every killers gonna have haters. I see a lot of people here talking about long trials like literally every killer cannot 3-gen-no-chase. My trials agaisnt Legion tend to be pretty short, even agaisnt Forever Legion. It's just how it goes - either the killer gets a rapid snowball thanks to everyone being instadownable or they don't get any pressure at all and gens fly by.

    It probably doesn't help that a lot of people think there's pressure to mend yourself. The timer takes ages to run out and you can pause it by running - half of my legion trials involve me unhooking, finishing gens, and sometimes healing others, all while bleeding out. It's so nonthreatening for "you're literally bleeding to death."

    I find it weird when people say it's boring mending all game. Like how many times are ya'll actually mending?

    If you/your team is/are playing smart you aren't healing. "Generally speaking", if you are already injured he's very rarely going to FF you to make you mend.

    So people that are actually mending "a lot" to me are finding Legion annoying because they are playing badly in the first place. I mend 1-3 times max a game and that's even being a little generous and assuming a couple FF's for location pings while injured which doesn't even happen that often.

    Unless that gen is 95 percent there's no way you're completing it without mending , and most legions will employ a three gen strat if a couple pop early and frenzy anyone who goes near the gens just so they have to mend , I'm not saying legion is OP but he's very annoying when it gets to a situation where he's not committing to chases and just dragging the game out , I've had fast games against legion don't get me wrong but it's not too common once they realize they don't have enough time they will just attempt to stall by doing what I stated above and it's just more aggravating from the stalemate scenario

    Legion is just doing the only thing they can do from all the things that is left, to win the game.

    Would bhvr not so obsessed with the idea that the Legion had to be a mending killer, then there would have been other possibilities.

    Also, the idea doesn't really fit to them imo. That would be something for some weird new doctor, or nurse killer. Or maybe some creature that "prepears" its victims via wounds to be a later hosts for its eggs, or something like that*.

    It was a good idea as long as it was just a "side effect", but as dominating effect... Feels for me not right.

    Edit: Like those mid-sized-insectoid-egg laying creatures from the X-Com games. Have forget the name.

    Yes that was my point is it's unfun for both sides when the situation does indeed arise in a match , legion needs a rework but not a nerf just something that slightly altered how his power works to prevent 20 minute mending simulator, and to make it fun for the legion player and the survivors both

    They were once on a good path with the Legion.

    Then they had make it impossible to do the fun things and some annoying things and what is left, sees everybody today.

    Hopefully they doing the next rework with the community and I mean with the community. Not just the audience of 1-2 streamers that were salty.

    I don't think that's true. I have yet to see any proof that that 3-gen happens more than with any other killer. I genuinely think that it is a giant case of community confirmation bias becaus everyone wants more reasons to hate legion, because I genuinely haven't seen any proof other than word of mouth in months sinc ei first saw people complain about it.

    And the timer is 30 seconds.
