"Legion is a terrible killer"

Legion isn't the worst killer in the game, but I wouldn't exactly call him good either. He excels at injuring people, and that... Is it. He has no real chase potential, and no real way to get around the map quickly, so he just kinda turns into an M1 killer after that. I'd put him in the same league as Wraith, one of my mains. They both can get first hits really easy, but lack in getting a second hit. Wraith has more map traversal, but Legion has the easiest time injuring in the entire game.

I main Legion when I do play killer and I don't really run into a lot of issues with him, unless I get a SWF hit squad I can normally get at least 2 kills with him, often I get 4k.

Their mildly easy to learn, personally fun to play and often times underestimated by survivors.

Are there better killers? Yes. Are their worst killers, definitely, but in the end its about what you enjoy doing and who you enjoy playing

Need to add I never played old Legion Ive only been playing DBD for a few months

*cracks soda*

Oh man, I will mention Old Legion to scare survivor mains

Infinite Lunging in frenzy with no cooldown, moonwalking Deep Wounds, fast vault speeds, old Franks Mixtape

So the thing about Legion is that their strength is heavily dependent on whether the Survivors in your game know all of the minor details about how Feral Frenzy works. As Legion I've had both games where I felt like I could barely touch Survivors with my power because they knew exactly how to handle it and games where I just absolutely run over the Survivors because they constantly do things that are just ridiculously terrible ideas because I am Legion.

So, when you are first starting out as Killer, Legion is fantastic. When you get higher and higher, Legion will be less effective because you'll have more Survivors who know how to handle what they do. They are definitely not terrible, but I would not call them the best either. However... running fast and fast vaulting windows and pallets pretty much never gets old.

My main problem with Legion is the power punishes you whether you use it correctly or not.

A 4 second stun regardless of how many people you hit with frenzy, whether the timer runs out or cancel it yourself.

For example let's use deathslinger.

You will only receive a stun if you allow the chain to break.

If you hit the survivor you don't receive a stun instead you awarded ( even if it's not the survivor you're currently reeling in)

If you think the chain is about to break and you can't make the hit you could always swing to intentionally disconnect the chain and not received the stun

Legion does not have this doesn't if you hit all four survivors you still get the 4 seconds stun or if you cancel the power yourself before the timer runs out you still get the 4 seconds stun.

Basic attacks basic attacking with the Legion will reduce your power bar no other killer suffers from this problem.

Can you imagine spirit or Freddy losing a chunk of their power bar because they hit somebody normally.

Now a lot of people say this is to stop intense damage stacking which is pretty much a nonsense excuse.

When you have spirit, deathslinger and demo who can end chases ridiculously quickly by getting a basic attack and then quickly using their power to get the second hit Legion not being able to do it with a non-lethal ability is ridiculous.

I think Legion is a decent killer not as bad as a lot of people say they are but right now I think they need an add-on pass and a severe reduction to how punishing their ability can be

With the exception of iridescent button, blades, the cooldown add-ons and Legion pin everything else sucks. That's a total of 6 good add-ons

Franks mixtape and stab wounds study- both of these don't work with legions current kit and the way deep wounds works. To make it work you have to force it and even then it's so bad it's detrimental and you're practically throwing the game

Killer instinct range increase add-ons are terrible- they have one job and that one job isn't worth the add-ons slot when there are things that just do it better and give you more benefits

Iridescent button- map wide killer instinct tracking and the ability to break pallets when you vault.

Monitor and abuse- stealthy when out of a chase and a larger killer instinct range when you're in a chase which is when you need it

Distressing- Blood points

Smiley face pin. This has more to do with blindness just being bad rather the add-on itself but it's a common so meh honestly they might as well just turn this into the BP add-on for the legion ( speed limiter and padded Jaws)

The power recovery add-ons are pointless especially when you consider Legions power is non lethal so you don't want to rely on it too heavily and Legion loses their power every time they get a hit
