Legion is useless now. Change my mind

I personal think that the Legion is ok and has only 2 "weak spots".

-1 is that she can't handle good played swfs or survivor groups. I have also watch raging_ryuga and something I have miss by him and by many other streamers is to see them playing against very good swfs.

On the other hand, maybe they cutting those matches out, because well... They will always end in a lose.

-2 The concept of the Legion still feels not right for me. I wish the Legion had a more fluid gameplay.

Not primaly for balance reasons, but for "fun reasons". The pre patch Legion had make so much fun imo, because she had a fluid-gameplay and I still miss this.

That is everything negative I can say about the Legion.

Well... That and that we still have no handholding-balloon for Susie. Would be funny to hunt with it and a knife, a David or so :D.

The Legion are near useless in good games. They can stomp only weak players. Any killer can be in red ranks. Why Entity was displeased? Because he played one match vs good survivors? He had to camp to get a kill? :'D If Legion is good killer and player is good, too, it must be always at least Brutal Killer score. Its not a gambling game. You either can win chases with killer or not. Legion have no tools to help them end chases. Thats why Legion was completely destroyed in one of those games.

lf you separate survivors they will win, survivors being split up and working on different gens means they can gen rush you efficiently.

Well B Tier is not useless

1. You can stall the game by forcing multiple survivor to mend (bonus points for holding generators).
2. If you combine his power with Oblivious Effects (Dark Devotion / nemesis / Death bound) you can catch survivor offguard and they never heal vs Legion.
3. Legion benefits from the PiP System cuz it rewards finding survivor and ending chases fast (both super easy to do with his power).

Mending is not healing btw (also better survivor dont heal vs legion anyway). And his power is the best information Power in the game (its not only about the survivor you see with killer instinct but the ones you dont see so you have a good idea about survivor locations most of the game). So he does not need information Perks imo.

As mentioned Undying + Ruin is core for most Legion Players but Oblivious Perks are also very strong (cuz survivor dont heal up and get caught offguard).

The detection perk is imo required if you want to play with ruin, bc you have to contest the gens, otherwise ruin won't do much for you. Sure you can see the survs with killer instinct, but you need to frency hit someone to get it. And then it's still limited time and range (unless you have legion pin). When you are currently searching for someone to chase (e.g. at the start), or all remain injured so you do not have much incentive to frency, then you have no tracking. Now that I think of it, maybe Tinkerer would be a nice choice, since it's tracking and Undetectability to get sneaky hits.

I agree, he is trash tier. I play them only to farm bp and meme around, to extend noob survivors games into infinity, if they like to self-care against Sloppy + Thana.. oh, wait, Sloppy now apply only to basic attacks. Devs nerf all fun.

Legion is in a weird place hes okay at best but does need some big improvements for example reduce the stun from 4 to 3 and take away losing 50% of his power from basic attacks. But i have a sinking feeling legion is going to be play less due to one perk Desperate Measure, this one perk basically make legion almost useless as legion is great at damaging mutiple survivors very quickly but that one perk will just undo all the damage in a heartbeat vast majority of my games if i use his power to the fullest it can be undo in 3-5 seconds legion now has to use his power in small burst to reduce the effect of DM which just weakens him further

Hopefully the devs give legion proper buffs but im not really expecting it at the moment.

Pwyf is practically worthless for Legion. Their whole concept is reliant on constantly attacking, which uses up the charges before they can be useful. If you don't want to run a slow down build, and really wanna focus pallets, bring Enduring + Spirit Fury and an Iridescent Pin. Then you might as well take advantage of the map wide TR with Unnerving Presence and Lullaby.

You find survivor rather quickly (1 survivor always spawns near a Killer and 3 spawn far away from you). Same logic for survivor if you spawn alone (and there was no split offering) then you are close to the killer.

Even if you get no information from Killer Instict you should know its range and then its not too hard to guess where Survivor will be (people seem to only focus on the hey this power shows me a icon i can ran towards when it also tells you "hey this area has no survivor in it search somewhere else").

Legion is underrated. He can keep everyone injured and get hits when other m1 killers can't. If you are chasing a healthy survivor and they pre throw a pallet thinking they're safe. That's when you frenzy over the pallet and hit them.

Legion is a good test for your skill as a killer.

His power is for injuring, delaying and information. But the actual downs you have to earn with your m1 skill

If you are a good chaser fully using mindgames and trying to catch people of guard then Legion is decent.

Not amazing or anything but you can win most matches.

If somebody puts Legion in thrash tier that most often then not means their m1 game is thrash tier

you are both replying to a 8 month old thread

I have no problem using legion. Played them all day yesterday and actually got mostly 4Ks. I was running BBQ, Ruin, Deerstalker and Dying Light. I actually felt like it was unfair with the amount of pressure I’m able to apply with legion lol.

I should also mention I got on average 30k points each match.

What I don’t like about Legion is that it doesn’t feel like you’re playing as a group of misfit killers, you’re literally playing a singular killer.
