Artist is legion but better

What i mean is when Legion first came out i saw them as the anti-loop killer until you release they really aren't that good for major loops but Artist is the extreme anti-loop killer since she can use her ability through walls and hit survivors a bit better and similar to Pyramid head but minus the ridiculous amout of time to just active the ability but I find her sorta good beginners killers in the way that she can down people or move them away from major loops.

    Not even remotely close.

    Old Legion was literally uncounterable in every way, not like everyone around here spams "THING X HAS NO COUNTER", he actually was. Killer instict killed stealth, there was 0 way for him to fail at using his power in chase, it ignored everything and required 0 aiming, predictions or strategy just spam M1 infinetly.

    Artist is high skill cap killer that just released with very complex mechanics on both sides that are yet bound to be fine tuned. She has very strong antiloop yes but it does have ways to fail or be countered by survivors. She can miss, survivor can chain tiles to avoid placed crows, flashlights burn the crows, etc etc. And among all that, she needs to constantly outplay survivors with precise predictions on the crows if she wants to win the 4v1, not just spamming all crows in the 1v1.

    They're as much alike as is old Legion and Blight = not at all.

    Legion is more like Plague, but much worse. Both have good tracking potential. Both have an easy time injuring survivors. Plague can do this passively via puking on objects in the environment. Devs also didn't like the fact that players could refuse to cleanse and keep Plague an M1 killer (just like a Legion essentially), so they added a contaminated fountain to start. Legion has no way to snowball or get easy downs after players are injured. One way Devs could possibly buff Legion would be to give him a way to get downs via his power. He could build up tokens or a gauge that would eventually allow his feral frenzy to down survivors.

    I wouldn’t even consider Legion’s power tracking. His power does literally nothing if the survivors play efficiently.

    Legion don't have a power.

    His power slows down the game, keeps survivors basically at an instadown and keeps track of where other nearby survivors are.

    He lacks a tiny bit lethality(I actually think Franks Mixtape needs to be basekit, it would at the very least reduce the chase significantly), but other than that, his power is super oppressive even for strong survivors.

    Seriously, if Legion could down people with his power, even if it's through whittling down survivors with 5 hits, he'd have plenty of options.

    Legion is an «  chase and hit » gameplay … he is an m1 killer with weak addon and an no lethal power.

    he had an small map control power and an non existant loop power

    The bird lady is just anti loop and pretty well for snipe generators


    Legion had receive multiple changes and rework on 3 years of développement and Birdie Lady is still on the ptb without any change right now


    don’t say bullshit dude

    I think Artist is kind of like if Doctor and Pyramid Head had a baby with a thing for birds. She’s got tracking that’s second only to Doctor, probably, and has an ability to injure and zone out survivors at pallets and vaults and through walls kind of like Pyramid Head. On the overall I think she’ll end up in similar places on tier lists to Doctor.
