    You are straight up using him wrong.

    Oh I love this part. Please enlighten me on the correct way to use Legion.

    It's easy. Go to where survivors are, freny, hit them, when you are on the last person, hit him twice, stun out of frenzy.

    then, you let them leave. Count to 3, the chase ends, they bleed out FAST, you follow the blood, try not to start chase to soon, pop frenzy, get hook

    Or they run to a pallet and start mending and laugh at you while you can't do anything. I mean sure, you can just sit there and wait for your power to come back, but that only further supports my "least fun killer in the game" debate. You get an unavoidable hit, sit there, and get another unavoidable hit. That is just awful design, I don't care how effective or ineffective it is.

    Your power comes back fast, you only need 1-2 seconds to smack them and down them. If they are by a pallet it's a free down.

    I'll record a video tonight and post it for you.

    Everybody can record a video of himself doing good with ANY killer. Monto has a 3k video with burger king myers (tier 1 myers with 100% ms and no increased lunge) in a 3v1 match where survs didn't do any gens and a 4k video right after

    Then watch my stream and watch me pip about every game with him?
    That wasn't my point, my point was to record a video showing how to do what I'm saying to do. AKA, a guide.

    if youre talking about the whole looking up at the sky or down to the ground to stop the chase or to even prevent a chase from starting THIS IS NOT how legion was designed and is a bug.
    When you turn your back and chase survivors the game doesnt count it as a chase, i can guarantee once the soft brain devs hear about this they'll fix it and legion will be even worse.

    I do hope this isnt how you've been "4k'ing"

    Pretty much the best killers of this community say he's trash but here you are showing us a guide on a straightforward character that you think nobody figured out. Breaking the ######### chase so the timer ticks down is an obvious choice esp since mending doesn't stop the timer anymore unless they're at 99%, he still sucks even with that tactic which basically guarantees you down somebody.

    They call killers bad while 4king with them.

    Some even call hag bad.

    Get your own opinion. Hey, letting the chase break might seem obvious, but considering the OP didn't mention it, maybe you should chill out.

    The other option is to follow a survivor backwards and just cheese the chase mechanics of the game until they either bleed out or get to low enough bleedout to be hit by an unavoidable frenzy hit. This is painful and unfun for the survivor and the killer.

    He did mention it, you don't read it carefully.

    His post read like he was running around hitting everyone, then going and looking for one he hit.

    That's how you lose. you start the frenzy with a plan.

    But hey, ya'll hate him. Doesn't bother me any.

    I'm winning games and having fun. His power is strong if you use it right, most chases last half the time I'm used to. And that includes hitting 3 ppl.

    If you are getting your opinions from other people, and not changing your mind till they do... There's something wrong with that. Try getting good with the killer.

People need to give the devs a break though. They did well with so many of the killer designs before, and they are forced to constantly think of new ideas for the killer. So I can understand why'd they screw up a killer once.

With that said, I 100% agree with you on this post. Exactly why I always knew they couldn't buff him in any considerable way. Your post perfectly summarizes what's wrong with The Legion and why he can't be fixed. Guess we have to just move on and hope for a better killer design next time.

The only way to make Legion viable without making survivors quit the game is to rework him. He needs a rework more urgently than Freddy, sadly.



No, we do not, because so many of us in the community have been providing tons of valuable feedback, both before, during and after the PTBs, but instead of taking what we say seriously, they take it with "a grain of salt" and put their own twist on it. Quite many, including me said several times that the legion really needs a rework and should not be released as is. When we voice our concerns, like for instance during a Q&A we all know what Cote will say, we should all go play some civilization for a refreshing change, because that is exactly how seriously he takes our concerns - like not at all. Who's the same one who thinks the killers should be fun and don't need to be viable. So once they actually begin to take our concerns serously, then we can begin to cut them some slack. As I've said before, they should not release content that is not balanced or not ready to be released, because it wrecks all kinds of havoc in doing so. You say they did well with so many killers before, well that certainly depends on perspective, and instead of actually fixing the issues they apply bandaid solutions.



There are also many in the community who dont have their panties in a twist over legion, as they are a viable killer.

    They're not no. 1 killer, but they're not as trash as everyone wants them to be.

    Yes there are some who for very odd reasons fervorously keep defending the legion, claiming that the legion is strong and viable, when it's glaringly obvious that the legion is now by far DbDs current weakest killer, and that legion is non-viable due to being the current weakest killer. I get you want the legion to viable and better, but legion is just not there yet, far from it. And I don't want the legion to be trash, but unfortunately that doesn't change anything.

    Besides, people also being fed up with BHVR not taking our concerns, feedback and suggestion on how to fix seriously, that they're only taking it with "a grain of salt" and putting their own twist on things. And that is quite understandable, because this is something that keeps happening recurringly.

    Go watch tru3  play some legion. One person at least tried and shows legion is viable. Just need synergy.

    I've 4k'd 24 speed limiter Leatherface games in a row at red ranks. Does that mean speed limiter leatherface is good?

    Legion isn't complicated. We've figured him out. He's bad.

    So leatherface isnt trash either? Like...

    I did play legion in the PTB, and I did also see some off Tru3's videos about legion where for most of the times he was using very rare addons, which doesn't say anything about if the killers balanced or not, and believe or not, those addons are likely going to be nerfed, it says nothing about the legion being viable or being balanced for that matter. There a lot of things that the legion needs to be viable, and they're most likely have to rework it's power.

    Tru3 stated Legion might be the worst killer.

    I wouldn't bother. These people's criteria of "this killer is good is" "this person did well with this killer sometimes."

    I dont watch him that often or follow. I just YouTube legion and found an easy example for you. 

    I enjoy legion, and have done well with them as well as played a lot agains them. I've seen others do well with them easily. 

    And bottom line is I have fun with them.

    Not seeing a need for calling them trash Is in addition to that.

    "getting good" with this killer is literally just walking backwards to avoid chasing again, then down them with m2, such skill much WoW.

    While a lot of your factual points are correct, you're passing off opinions as facts. Legion is very much so more fun for some killers. You may not enjoy cheese chasing, but I definitely do. You might find it more entertaining to deal with looping, safety pallets, and vault patterns for as long as the survivor can find things to use. But I personally much more prefer using Frenzy to get an easy first hit and then cheese chase for 15 to 20 seconds to finish instead of having to deal with that occasionally endless "fun". I'll agree he has a lot of weak points, and factually, there's no denying that. But speaking on behalf of the playerbase and claiming he's not fun is highly erroneous.

    If you don't want to deal with loops just play the nurse, at least there's SOME counterplay on the survivor's part and there's ######### up on your part, with legion you literally cannot fail unless the other guy has no mither and manages to lose you if you have to opt to deep wound him.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say ######### the DEVS! They have COUNTLESS knowledgeable players of THEIR GAME knowing the mechanics and how it plays out that they don't even BOTHER to recruit some of them to design a killer power.

    It's SO ######### obvious they just design a killer power and test it via the NOOBS they have in the office.

    It's so dumb that they basically drive this game towards rank 15-20 balance it's #########.

    "i've never played before omg this scary guy hit me i'm gonna die ( doesn't mend )"

    vs

    "ok so i'm hit twice, my bar isn't gonna drain in a chase so when he breaks off the chase i'll just mend and be fine"

    or

    "ok hit me twice but i'm basically just an injured survivor looping a 110% killer like the spirit without her power, ggez 4 min loop"

    SIGH

    I really like the concept of Legion, I really do, but their just not as great as I thought they would be. I like the whole idea of wanting to stab everybody you can but when mending is practically useless, what's the point? I think DW itself needs changing, not Legion. DW is too survivor favored right now since it's a minor inconvenience and it's supposed to be "Deadly" not just some mend in front of the killers face to be good again. The changes they received were a start but Legion still has a few more tweaks that they need to be better at being a killer.

    " a bunch of stuff that was wrong"

    You are straight up using him wrong.

    Oh I love this part. Please enlighten me on the correct way to use Legion.

    It's easy. Go to where survivors are, freny, hit them, when you are on the last person, hit him twice, stun out of frenzy.

    then, you let them leave. Count to 3, the chase ends, they bleed out FAST, you follow the blood, try not to start chase to soon, pop frenzy, get hook

    Or they run to a pallet and start mending and laugh at you while you can't do anything. I mean sure, you can just sit there and wait for your power to come back, but that only further supports my "least fun killer in the game" debate. You get an unavoidable hit, sit there, and get another unavoidable hit. That is just awful design, I don't care how effective or ineffective it is.

    Your power comes back fast, you only need 1-2 seconds to smack them and down them. If they are by a pallet it's a free down.

    I'll record a video tonight and post it for you.

    Everybody can record a video of himself doing good with ANY killer. Monto has a 3k video with burger king myers (tier 1 myers with 100% ms and no increased lunge) in a 3v1 match where survs didn't do any gens and a 4k video right after

    Then watch my stream and watch me pip about every game with him?
    That wasn't my point, my point was to record a video showing how to do what I'm saying to do. AKA, a guide.

    Pretty much the best killers of this community say he's trash but here you are showing us a guide on a straightforward character that you think nobody figured out. Breaking the [BAD WORD] chase so the timer ticks down is an obvious choice esp since mending doesn't stop the timer anymore unless they're at 99%, he still sucks even with that tactic which basically guarantees you down somebody.

    They call killers bad while 4king with them.

    Some even call hag bad.

    Get your own opinion. Hey, letting the chase break might seem obvious, but considering the OP didn't mention it, maybe you should chill out.

    In facto downing a survivor, hag is bad.
    But downing is essential for the game to even work.

    @Zavri Welcome to World of Warcraft post the South Park episode, "Make Love Not Warcraft." The moment casual interest hyped up due to it, the game was made face rollingly boring and dull.

    Lo that just after Dedicated Servers get announced, which is CERTAINLY going to draw interest from newer players, they release a misleading trailer that multiple online articles take at face value. Even to some extent Polygon. They then release the killer without paying attention to the people that constantly surprise them with mechanics they never meant to exist but enjoy. If we are so much more knowledgeable about the game then they are, why do we only have our opinions taken "with a grain of salt?"

    While I'll concede that Legion would be at least decent with normal killer movement speed, it still doesn't address the fact he is the least fun killer in the game for both sides. I originally thought just giving him normal movespeed would at least bandaid him but he's actually completely fundamentally broken. Let's look at the ways to play him and why they are all terrible for both killer and survivor.

    Basically the gameplay flow is: find survivor -> feral when close enough -> get free hit -> look around for nearby survivors. If none nearby, hit original target again to bleed out more. If there are survivors in range, tag them until you can't tag anyone else, then hit the closest survivor again to drain frenzy.

    From there, you have a few options. The first is go look for someone who is mending, and just chase them as a no-power 110% movespeed killer. As long as the survivors have a brain and used their 20 seconds of bleedout to get to even a remotely safe area, this is painful and unfun for the killer.

    You can also just repeatedly hit the survivor, waiting for your power to cooldown (which can be aided by addons). This guarantees you will eventually down the survivor because there's not much you can do to avoid a feral Legion. This is painful and unfun for the survivor.

    The other option is to follow a survivor backwards and just cheese the chase mechanics of the game until they either bleed out or get to low enough bleedout to be hit by an unavoidable frenzy hit. This is painful and unfun for the survivor and the killer.

    Hell, even people that still like hiding / playing stealthily can't do that.

    That's it. Those are the options Legion has to down people. All of them are immensely boring, and not even 115% movespeed will fix these issues. He is fundamentally badly designed for maximum unfun. The developers in charge of Legion absolutely do not understand this, as they thought removing the double stun would be a good fix, when in reality all it does is promote the unavoidable eventual downing of a survivor with no counterplay earlier.

    The sad part is even though he can guarantee downs on survivors, he's still awful. It takes a decent chunk of time without addons to either cheese chase mechanic down or just repeat-power use down. This ensures: the survivor being chased eventually has no counterplay, which feels terrible. It ensures the Legion will still lose vs. a coordinated team who spread out and do not waste time healing (because there is no point), and it ensures that the other teammates not actively being chased are either bored mending or bored doing generators.

    Every single thing about Legion is bad.

    I enjoy the legion. They're fun to play as and against imo. Such hate lately. If its not your killer so be it. Dont try to ######### in my sandwich

    you would enjoy playing freddy without sleeping survivors then

    LITERALLY, all they have to do is keep mending and chase from pausing the bleed out timer.

    THAT'S IT!

    and SUDDENLY he is a GOOD KILLER.

    Like, it doesn't take Einstien to figure that ######### out.

    "oh but he can hit me twice and chase til i bleed out!?!"

    NO #########? HOW IS THAT ANY DIFFERENT FROM A 115% KILLER WITH BETTER POWERS?

    Hell billy can find you offguard in a few seconds, chase you around and 1 SHOT YOU or QUICKLY smash pallets to ONE SHOT YOU in the following 10 seconds of a chase.

    How is that ANY WORSE than being hit twice in about 5 seconds AND being chased another 10 seconds to get downed if he focused on you like a billy would.

    The answer is the hillbilly is ABSOLUTELY better in every aspect, he just isn't fancy about doing it like the LEGION is.

    RE-DO the mending bullshit, and remove the stun when frenzy ends.

    After that he will be a good killer.

    If those changes prove to be "too powerful" than remove his bloodlust wallhacks off his base ability or reduce the range and or bake it into an addon.

    After all that, holy ######### look! he is balanced!

    I'm honestly having a hard time deciding if this killer is weak or not. Most games I've played today have not been against rank 1 killers. I've escaped every Legion today (10 at least) and only died to him once, and that was a 4k. I won't deny he needs some buffs in a few areas, namely his power doesn't last long enough nor recharge fast enough, but he seems like he could be balanced. Considering every killer I've played today has been purple rank and/or only played a few Legion games prior, if any, I feel like most players haven't really gotten a grasp on the killer. In maybe 2 weeks after high ranks have more experience with him, with better perks and add-ons (which does matter when you factor in that everyone they play against has a full perk set and usually an item) I'd have a better idea of where Legion falls on the balance scale.

    The timer almost doesn't even matter if it pauses in a chase, which is the ENTIRE point.

    Also, having the timer stop from downing you while mending is dumb. It makes it "seem" scary as a noob but anyone else knows as long as they start mending before 99% they will get it off NP without any issues.

    Base bleed out timer should be 45 seconds, halved to 22 seconds on the 2nd hit. The timer should not pause AT ALL to keep in line with the average killer chase being around 40-55 seconds. Which is basically full gen.

    Also, being hit a THIRD time during frenzy should be insta down.

    They designed Legion to be 'fun' to play against/with. New players will feel good when they get chased (but not downed fast) and new killers will feel like they're doing good work constantly hurting survivors.

    @ScottJund then do you care explaining to me HOW my account was all of a sudden one day followed to your twitch. I spent a good 10mins in your chat and barely anyone talked with over 2000 viewers. That’s statistically not possible. As I said, I’m not an idiot like most people, I can tell when someone is biting champ. But that’s okay, if you have to pretend to be a somebody by cheating for views on a streaming platform then I just feel bad for you. So sad. Don’t feel like your opinion is more important than anyone else’s here just because you’re a ‘big streamer’, because well, it isn’t. 

    @only1biggs I stand by saying that Freddy doesn’t need a buff, because he doesn’t. A majority of people just don’t have the right brains to play smart with killers that are a bit more challenging. But that’s humans for you. Most of them are a pile of bricks. 

    @vampire_toothy gave you reasonable answers to your question.

    Do you also then believe that LF id OP?

    Are you capable of reading, or are you indeed, a brick, like most humans?

    No I think leatherface does need a little buff actually. He’s much weaker than Freddy. In regards to the other person, just because one person says that ‘I’m a viewer’ doesn’t negate every other ‘viewer’ in there. I am capable of reading, but are you capable of understanding or thinking outside the box? Doesn’t look like it.

    because the devs just basically design a killer and barely test it via noobs ( [BAD WORD] mcote basically ).

    it's absurd and INSULTING that they don't employ the help of various community members to help design a killer that put more time into their game then they did MAKING IT

    They designed Legion to be 'fun' to play against/with. New players will feel good when they get chased (but not downed fast) and new killers will feel like they're doing good work constantly hurting survivors.

    He's the opposite of fun to play, both as and against.

    No I think leatherface does need a little buff actually. He’s much weaker than Freddy. In regards to the other person, just because one person says that ‘I’m a viewer’ doesn’t negate every other ‘viewer’ in there. I am capable of reading, but are you capable of understanding or thinking outside the box? Doesn’t look like it. 

    Except I also know as a matter of fact that there are plenty of people like me who do not type much either. Sometimes all people want to do is sit down, watch a video or a stream and relax, nothing more and nothing less.That being said, if you're capable of thinking it doesn't take a genius to know that you should seriously consider looking into changing your passwords and it isn't entirely unlikely you misclicked or had bad memory either. Trust me, the possibility of a misclick isn't impossible either because Twitch recommends channels and I've nearly accidentally clicked "follow" on channels I've never heard of because the button is right there when you scroll over the streamer's name. I hope you also realize this just derails the purpose of the post too and that's not to bash on anybody with the points above either.

    Now, do we want to actually get back into the discussion? Fun is subjective so I don't think anybody can really say something is fun as a fact as everyone has their own version of it. The issue I think we should look at is for instance the issue I have with legion is that he's lackluster in some areas and brokenly strong in others in a way where even with that out of the way he's just not satisfying to play in my opinion. My issue with legion for instance is that his power lacks counterplay but also is in a state where it's incredibly easy for the game to fly by incredibly fast because legion encourages "gen rush" and by this I mean just not healing and using resilience on generators pretty much. He's essentially a nightmare to balance because he's either too weak or too strong by this design. Honestly, I'm not even sure if I even have any good ideas to buff the legion appropriately either because of this reason.

    Friendly reminder the only reason Legion exists is because deathgarden sold poorly and they had to rush a new killer before christmas

    Devs really need to think about what they want to do with this killer. Currently with his 2 purple addons he can kill anyone reliably within 12-15 seconds after the initial frenzy hit (ofc with cheesing the chase). His lack of map pressure makes it so survivors can still easily win the game with multiple escapes, however, chases are not fun for survivors, as there isn't much counterplay except No Mither, Dance with me and Quick & Quiet.

    Without addons he isn't close to being time efficient, even though he will get guaranteed downs. They could let the timer count down in chases too, however, that is even less fun for survivors, as their asses will be on a death-timer as soon as he sees them (EDIT: That is to say in every game, not only in games where Legion cheeses the chase). One could argue how that isn't different to any other killer, as virtually every killer has a certain "time" he needs on average to get a survivor downed. The thing is, against other killers without pallet/window counterplay (so not counting Nurse, Trapper and the likes) the survivor has the possibility to kite for a whole game, which makes survivors feel good, but ofc the killer will feel like #########. It's really an interesting debate they will need to have, to find out where they wanna head with Legion.

    As a rank 1 killer I can confidently say legion is as good as the person whose playing him. If you use the right perks and add ons you can torment a team. And no, he isn’t as powerful as hillbilly or nurse. However neither is Micheal or pig and many of us can agree those two are very capable of 4ks. The way I’ve played with him is feral to a survivor, hit them, chain hit if possible then build distance to the last survivor you hit and take the fatigue punishment and hit. He’s loads of fun with sloppy butcher, nurses calling, hex ruin (or thanatopia, your choice), and bbq n chili (swap for Franklins if their all carrying items). Very simple strategy, and I’m sure he’ll be buffed minorly once more to even him a bit on the edges

    When they're running out the exit gates but you're too slow to stop them so you want to use your power but then you can't actually down them.

    Feels like Freddy all over again.

    Sloppy Butcher does jackshit on him unless you're really bad at tracking in which I'll just tell you to pick Bloodhound. What's the point of N/C, mend doesn't count and any survivor with a brain won't heal to full against him unless they're going for a save.

    The only thing he's good at is protecting his totem, I'm gonna give him that since there's no hiding and waiting till he chases somebody else if ur in TR.

    Add on top of that that he gets genrushed more than ANY other killer, I've had games that lasted maybe 5 minutes due to not having Ruin, I had games with Lullaby that I could drag out to 20+ minutes tho.

    His design actually encourages genrushing because healing against him is worthless.

    A killer release was planned for this time of the year way back when. Deathgarden doing poorly wouldn't have anything to do with the timing of this killer release.

    However, there is a very good chance this killer was meant to be Ghostface and they couldn't get the licensing rights. That would explain the similarities and why Legion's lore is so much worse than every other original killer.

    I basically said that but yes. Since healing is basically worthless against him unless you're going for a save you might as well spend those extra 30 (?) seconds on a gen instead of selfhealing.
