    The one mechanic legion bypasses is obstacles like vaults and pallets. They can still be blinded, stunned, looped and even mislead from scratch marks. Everything else takes awhile to acquire on them from perks and other killers.

    The best way to describe legion is they are a "Noob killer" Killer. They bypass that one mechanic that most new players wouldn't expect a killer to do but once you learn how to play against them, they can be avoided and you can survive.

    And killers disconnect against that all the time. Hmm.

    lol swf comms tells you where the killer can be right? well the killer just needs to patrol gens and find survivors around the gens. being on comms isnt going to make you invisible buddy. learn to open your eyes and ears and find someone, patrol gens. killers suck and have all the handouts

    Legion not only has a smaller terror radius, allowing her/him to sneak up on survivors, but she/he is smaller, has a speed boost power, is hard to lose (given that it's not a baby Legion), and has a sonar for hidden survivors, all of which make stealth difficult and not that lucrative against him. He can give little warning to his presence, and even if survivors locate him with enough distance to escape, he can secure a hit making everything worthless. I've heard that he makes the game a "singleplayer game" when everybody else wants and is trying to play a multiplayer one. Healing is almost pointless unless a save is planned. Why would a survivor have fun against this? It's just genrush and leave.

    Survivors DC against Legion for the same reason they did against release Nurse and Freddy: they can't be bothered to adapt to new game mechanics.

    @AcromioThe idea that removing existing game mechanics and not adding back anything of worth is somehow representative of “new game mechanics” is silly. Just like how the removal of sabotage highlighted the issue of genrushing, so does the removal of healing. When the game is made to be all about gens, it’s unfun, and does not reflect the laziness of players in any way.

    Neither the Nurse nor the Legion take away any game mechanic from survivors, they just require them to adapt and change their playstyle accordingly, which is a thing that survivors always hated and resisted with their all since day one of this game.

    There is some soft counterplay against all but the best nurses. Legion has about zero if they're not completely new to the game. Their kit has everything you'd need built in, and all you have to do is M2 for easy M1's.

    What Legion does is put every survivor on a 30 second chase timer (less w/franks), thereby nullifying the skill difference between a godlike survivor and an average or terrible one.
