Why Does Legion Still Lose His Power When Landing a Successful Basic Attack?
I'd just really like to know the official reasoning for this.

Yup, there's an add-on now that decreases the amount you lose on a basic attack, if I remember correctly.
Still couldn't tell you why though and honestly I don't think BHVR can either.

Really good question!

It should be removed.

Why couldn't THAT be basekit, at the very least.
5 -
Legion still weak.
1 -
also why can't they see scratch marks and blood in frenzy? what is so op about that if their power gives them the most powerful tracking in the game anyway.

That comment helps as much as a box of sand in the Sahara desert.

Why are so many ppl still crying/complaining about it?
Is it that important to you?
Will this make Legion the new S tier killer and beat Nurse?
For real yes it is weird and dumb but in the other hand, who cares? It doesnt effect or weaken Legion at all so why making such a big deal out of it?

It does weaken them.
Why does it exist

Because it’s something that holds them back for no good reason? Why do you feel the need to mock people bringing up critique as “crying/complaining”? Be a better person.

I guess with the fact BHVR gave Feral Frenzy some lethality they didn't feel comfortable removing it.
Though I agree it's really outdated and pointless.

Its to stop you just hitting it to move faster and find people.

I'd like to say it's because they don't want you to M1 and then use your power to catch up but it isn't exactly a lethal power (kinda slightly is now though) and Blight exists. So I don't see a good reason for it to be this way anymore.

I don't know. It needs to be removed, honestly.

They don't need to give you a reason. It's a dumb mechanic and they're gonna keep it.

It's because the balance team has a narcissist on it who absolutely can't admit that he ever made a mistake when it comes to balancing. He is single handedly killing balance.

I have no idea. Getting rid of that is like... the thing I most wanted from this rework.
4 -
Obviously the person who asked it cares. The real question is why are you so inflamed by his question as to cry/complain about it?
7 -
Don't ask difficult questions or you'll lose your shirt.

Shirt lost.

Maybe it's so you can't chain from basic attack to frenzy and block a window/pallet? But you still get a 3 second cooldown, so I'm not sure-
Maybe it's because they gave their power a semblance of lethality?
Then again, you don't see Nurse losing a blink charge for hitting a survivor.. Don't see Blight having that issue either.. Or Spirit.. Don't think any of the other killers lose a part of their power on M1 either- Like Artist.. Trickster.. Doctor.. Ghostface..
Yeah.. I don't think they have a reason for it other than being scared to change it-

why that still a thing?

That's what I'd like to know.
If there's a legitimate reason, I wanna be aware of it.

My theory is that it's there so that Legion players are made to pay attention to when to use their power.
I've been sat here for a while trying to put it into words, but I believe it acts as a way to prevent the Legion from being given too much leeway with when they can use their power e.g. if a Legion decides to M1 someone and then sees 2 other survivors nearby, it could be argued that they should have used their power, and choosing not to do so should be final.

It almost looks like a bug, lol

so he isn't a threat.

Cuz so many do that. I see it pretty often, it got already asked and discussed almost daily in the forums and twitter. Ppl seem to worry about this more then legion still beeing an M1 Killer which is just baffling to me honestly.
0 -
Yeah because it's asinine that it's STILL apart of his kit for no discernable reason.
4 -
The ptb showed you why. They needed it for an addon idea so kept it in the game lol.

Balance. Stop advocating for broken killers and be thankful for the MASSIVE buffs Legion got.

there are many things in dbd that have no real logic why does this suprise you so much?
0 -
My best guess is to avoid slugging and making altruistic plays a better option?
I have no clue though.

Wow, unnecessarily passive aggressive much?! I was paying a compliment,

I assume it is to give you an incentive to use your power instead of injuring via basic attack. The reason they would choose for the incentive to be a punishment instead of a reward is beyond my human comprehension.

Because they'd be op otherwise, duh.

If it came over aggressively, my apologies. It wasn't my intention. It had more to do with sarcasm.

Because Old Legion PTSD
Despite being one of the most popular killers, gets tons of cosmetics, makes the company tons of money - Legion is still hated by many surviviors, and the devs sort of leave him in this "punished state" to keep them satiated.
The way Legion has been treated has been a disgrace, but Legion is a money maker and has massive fan basse which they cannot stop. So they threw us a buff, thanks Devs.
We are Legion.
