Legion is completely broken

Legion is the newest killer introduced into Dead by Daylight, already causing a fuss between the playerbase. But this thread is to discuss on why Legion is the most broken killer ever released on the game.

Legion already demonstrated to be extremely weak without add-ons, being completely powerless without their power. But while using your power you can't down survivors on a efficient way, only being able to do half the damage to survivors. Which forces you to chase without your power, leaving a killer with 110% movement speed without any way to counter loops.

Not only that, but when played on the intended way, Legion is completely weak to create any kind of pressure or to create any kind of lethality.

The most efficient way to play Legion is to cheese the mechanics of the chase, following the survivor around without starting a chase which is completely unfun to both sides.

Legion has absolute no counterplay, the only would be losing them in a chase. But it's not efficient since good killers will never lose track of the survivor.

Legion can become overpowered by just adding a single add-on, which is Frank's Mixtape. Frank's Mixtape allows Legion to down survivors with three hits, which is two uses of Feral Frenzy. Against this add-on, survivors are left without any kind of defense against Legion, making the only option to give up.

Legion requires almost no skill to use, anyone can play Legion without difficulty.

Legion is the killer with the lowest perk synergy of the game, being vague on possible ways of playing them.

Closing up things, Legion is a weak killer that has no way to win a chase without cheesing the game or using a specific add-on, while at the same time provides no possible counterplay and fun for survivors. Without a doubt, Legion is the most broken killer ever created on Dead by Daylight.

    I mainly play killer, but I understand that it can be unfun to go down super fast against the Frank's Mixtape. As a killer, I don't like that I depend so much on a violet add on to actually do something.

    If the mixtape isn't involved, I kinda disagree with the no counterplay argument that's brought up frequently, not only here. You can still pallet stun them and deplete the entire power bar. And, not seing scratchmarks, it's possible to juke him while using the power, you sometimes lose sight of people super fast (playing on console). He counters pallets and windows using the power, yes, but without the mixtape it takes ages for you to actually down someone. As long as you keep them in the chase and just loop them, you don't go down that fast.

    "Yo, I got a 4k with one disconnect, one bleedout and one Mori just yesterday with The Legion even though every other game I played as him were 3-man and 4-man escapes at Rank 2-7. If anything this Killer should be nerfed."

    Right.

    So the minority controls the majority? That is what you're saying.

    Just because a few people can't adapt quickly doesn't meant he killer is trash. Id on't even use ruin dude...

    Mate, I got two 4k with Freddy today. All my perks were tier 2 and I only used common add-ons, does that mean that Freddy is a good killer?

    I feel like something just doesn't make sense here.

    One sec.

    The majority: Legion is weak

    The minority: Legion is fine/strong

    Hmm...

    You: Legion is fine/strong

    Also You: " So the minority controls the majority? That is what you're saying."

    ???

    Alright, I'm officially lost. Can someone help me here.

    Games are balanced around the high lvl players, otherwise there is no need to become skilled and thrive to reach higher ranks. DBD is a perfect example for this

    Legion can become overpowered by just adding a single add-on, which is Frank's Mixtape. Frank's Mixtape allows Legion to down survivors with three hits, which is two uses of Feral Frenzy.

    But there's somthing better, more op than the Mixtape.
    If you play the Mixtape you hit the survivor (through ur power) twice. So you have to hit them first then you have to catch him up again, hit, stun, waiting until your catch him up again and your power has refill and then you down the survivor.
    Now the Cold Dirt and Joes Mixtape addons: You hit the survivor first, catch him up, take the stun and mostly it's enough to down him. I had kills within the endgame. The exits where open and everybody know you're ######### up as a legion. Survivors give a ######### about the legion. They just take the dmg and run to the exits. I killed them, because i have no cd.

    So the Mixtape may be good. But those addons together are better^^
    And if you're a real badass you mindgame with a specific perk build.
    It's nurse tier.
