Who's worse now? Freddy or Legion?

I'm curious what you guys think, the battle between M1 killers. Legion was obviously better, but with the upcoming rework he got nerfed significantly, is Freddy better now?

    Freddy is still worse. Don't use legion like you would in the current live servers, figure out different uses for his power. He's better than before, just no longer has the ability to inevitably down a survivor.

    Freddy is still worse. As I always say: Watching helplessly while gens get finished, totems get cleansed, survivors get unhooked + healed, exit gates get opened right in front of you? Only with Freddy.

    Legion is still stronger. The ability to easily get a first hit as well as chain it to other survivors quickly, in the right circumstances, allows Legion to waste more time of survivors and less of his own. Freddy has stealth and tracking, but nothing allowing him to gain an easy hit except for the survivors playing recklessly or are too confident in their own abilities (continuing to repair a gen while in transition and without sprint burst).

    Freddy is definately waaaaay worse than legion. Legion is as good as he was before the rework, but he's good at different things now.

    Even if you 4k with all killers dont mean the killer is fine. But you can't balance around worst case scenario either

    The best about Freddy is that you must use your M2 ability to gain the right to M1 one survivor after xxx seconds ... this is just OP !

    Freddy easily wins the prize of the worst killer between both :)

    The whole point of his power is to put as many survivors asleep at once as possible to cause a stall. If you play him more like Doc, you would be surprised at how he's basically a much better Doc

    This is true when survivors are in the dream world most of the time (dumb swf in group or using the good "class photo" addon)

    "Raw freddy" is however less less less less powerful :(

    On the PTB freddy is still worse when played stock, but when using his best addons he's better than Legion with it's own best addons .

    If you wanna know why, Freddy is a 115% killer with low tr, you can ambush people easily and get easy hits because of it, he also has amazing tracking, wich Legion lacks because of the terrible FF nerfs.

    It's funny but with M&A and the best block addons, Freddy is a better spread the pain and stall killer than legion is and way more stealthy, kinda funny isn't it?

    How is Legion even weak(er) ? First hit is free. Second hit is like every other M1 Killer. With 115% Movement-Speed he is actually playable now.

    Freddy and Legion aren't necessarily bad, they way you play them are good or bad, you have to figure out what makes them more top tier, different builds help, no perk Freddy sucks for me, Freddy with the right perks and add ons are a Survivor's nightmare, as same as Leatherface.

    Top tier killers have something to aid them check the map faster than ur average killer. Theoretically so can Legion. Even tho on a smaller scale.

    Top tier killers have something to also aid them in the chases. Insta down/pallet break... ignoring the said things.

    Legion can vault both pallets and windows(slightly faster iirc) and get an aura reading thingy(pretty much) if more survivors are in proximity to the killer and if they get hit they also have to heal like 2 health states which delays the gen rushing.

    I think he's in a slightly better spot now than he was b4 even if he's got nerfs here and there. He's got what a top tier killer needs and if he can use it properly I'm sure he'll just get higher and higher in rankings... At least statistically speaking xd
