As survivor main, its all I want to say.

Two friends quit the game.

Solo queue and buffed legion is hell. I'll probably take a break until I see the next patch.

    you won't be able to nerf legion like you did with wraith, just because he needs to use his brain to play against

    Legion was always unfun to face. It's just more of them now but that will pass.

    Did you think before writing this?

    If a Survivor heals, they are healthy, meaning they will be able to tank one hit (except for Instadown-Powers or stuff like that of course). If they mend, they will not be able to do that.

    Mending is just wasted time and you are as vulnerable as before as Survivor.


    And another one - do you really think that every Survivor is stupid? It is not rocket science to not fully mend in the Terror Radius and to not heal against Legion.

    You can join killers in the snuffing totems simulator

    Solo queue and played 16 matches, 11 legion, 2 nurses, 1 nemesis, 1 plague and 1 clown.

    Escape only in 2 matches (nemesis and clown).

    Well I just uninstalled, I know I won't be missed.

    It's near impossible to beat legion in solo queue (luck game based on teammates because this killer doesn't require brains).

    Funny how "boring" here means "Cannot learn to play around it".

    This may suit the bored crowd better:

    No boring killer, guaranteed.

    Ya but come on guys this has been in video games since patching was a thing whatever is new or buffed will be super popular for a week and then rarely played. Look at every moba or mmo for example.

    He’s only boring because everyone is playing him. It’s the same reason I hate huntress. I play against to many of them it get really stale. Earlier today I played vs deathslinger pyramid demogorgon pinhead and it was cool until I got 4 legion matches and 2 huntress matches. Does he need a nerf? Absolutely not. But he was boring before and it’s even more boring since he’s being played more.

    You can't hide vs a Legion, sees your aura all the time, also you can't prevent being injured. He destroys pallets very fast or just vaults them.

    There is a big difference between pressing M1 to actually progress the game (Survivors cannot escape if they dont do Gens) and pressing M1 which does not progress the game.

    And sorry, in my opinion, games against Legion take far too long. And this has nothing to do with the strength of Legion or that I am too stupid to realize the genius counterplay of splitting up. I prefer a Nurse who wrecks the Survivors in 3 minutes over a 20+-game against Legion every day.

    Legion is boring to play against because he does not follow the mechanic of : hit, hit down, hook.

    In a sense he kind of "slugs" health states. Legion ends up being similar to twins in that he is very unfun to play against.


    Legion would be a lot more interesting if there were a survivor perk that ignored mending. I kind of understand why boons are in the game : to counteract the feeling of always needing to mend vs legion. It makes sense they were working on that when they were reworking legion in the process.

    This "just spread" is the same as survivors telling killers "just kick the totem" to counter CoH. Its so obviouse how pro-survivors threads instantly get overrun by killer mains when the game balance is on average still killer sided which is shown in killrate stats. I guesse it's because most survivors can instantly vent to friends they are playing with compared to killers that keep it bottled up and have to resort to the forums. It gives such a wrong direction to the devs to what changes have to be made. Complaints will only stop if killers can point to survivors to blow them up. 4k's just isn't enough to feed the power fetish that alot seem to have here.

    It's amazing to me how killers/legion players just don't get the criticism. Playing against legion is insanely boring. Mending extends the M1 simulator that we get with generators and healing into the land of the ridiculous. Against a normal killer, I probably spend 160 seconds on generators and 32 or 48 seconds healing for a total inert boring downtime in a match of 200 seconds. Against legion the number is more like 300 to 400 seconds. Let's not forget the highly engaging hanging on hooks time. Then on top of that, we add a whole bunch of mend time. Out of a 15 to 20 minute match (only against legion are they this long), I'm spending 5 or 6 minutes doing absolutely nothing.

    Additionally, the strategies are very simple. Press 'w', don't count on pallets or window vaults and try to stay spread out.

    Until he is changed, dc'ing, suiciding, or afk'ing will still be at higher rates than against most killers. For most survivors, it is not about his strength. I get more DC's against legion then against nurse, ponder that one.

    To summarize: the looping strategy is press 'w', and the inert time is 2 or 3 times more than other killers. This is why legion sucks to play.

    Don't worry, you guys can keep the brainless mending simulator.


    Personally me and two friends quit from the game at least until next patch.


    No wonder player numbers are going down in steam charts.

    What would you recommend be done to fix this?

    Specifically, how would you change Legions current power without making up a brand new power to make them more fun?

    You have to change Legions Power. They are a completely failed concept which should have never left QA back in 2018. It is not like Legion are a strong Killer to begin with, they never were a strong Killer. But they also have 0 possibility to be a strong Killer with their current power.

    Usually I'm the one looping the killer while the team is busy opening chests or waiting you go down to decide to create courage to click on a gen.
