Legion... Nerf... NOW (coming from a Bubba main)
I don't know what buff was given to Legion but the game is virtually unplayable now. Clearly, people are having a good laugh too because out of my 28 matches tonight, 26 of them were Legions. People complained about Boil Over and CoH... I'm a Bubba Main and I'm telling you this Legion buff has gone way too far. It reminds me of when Boil Over got its original rework and Survivors were abusing it. Well, good job, I'd rather deal with a Boil Over squad. Behavior... I really hope you're reading this and figure something out. And the hook situation... really... who decided any of this was a good idea?

No poop Sherlock, a Killer in the video game Dead by Daylight received balance changes within the past 24 hours so...people are checking it out for themselves?
Come on bro..

And this is why I'm a Basement Bubba. Why would anyone even want to stay in a game with Legion at this point? You're visible in lockers and under Shadow Step. That is the definition of OP.

...... Leave. Just leave. If you see someone get hit with mend, just leave. If you split up legion doesn't have a power. The counterplay is just. So. Simple. Do that.

Legion became so annoying

They are still weak killer just more fun to play, finaly at least something good for them.

Out of curiosity, how many of those matches were on Haddonfield?
When something is new or gets reworked, then of course people will want to try it. I guarantee you that by tomorrow you'll see the normal rotation/variety.

Well I'd like to except that somehow pretty much every Legion tonight managed to keep finding me, even after running. The heartbeat radius just keeps going. I'd rather go against my camping Bubba. Whats the point if you can't even hide from a Killer?

Pretty much every match was on Haddonfield. One was in Badham.

Legion is far from OP. Spread out and split up, don’t stay in groups against them and in most cases don’t bother healing. Unless you have to in order to go for a save, it’s usually not worth it.
If you get hit by frenzy, don’t finish mending until his frenzy is over. If you do they will be able to get killer instinct on you again and that will make it easier for them to get the 5 hits to down someone.

Honestly this sounds like a skill issue. He is still countered by spreading out. Go read his changes and his new addons so you know how to counter him. He is B tier now at best instead of C.

Usually, I can get away after the first hit. They seem to be obsessed with hitting all of the survivors before powering down. Right now I'm just taking keys into each match because people aren't even doing gens.

If they zeroed in on you, you're doing something wrong. Try it next time. Don't do gens with other survivors when you're against a legion. When you see the mend status pop up, go somewhere else. Frenzy lasts ten seconds. Each time you see mend pop up count down from ten. If the legion comes to you with say- five seconds in their power then you can pallet stun them cuz they don't have time to respect. You supposedly play killer, yes? So you know how to count down BT and DS. Same thing. Legion is the same as always in this respect. Nothing about avoiding their power has changed.

If he is able to hit all of the survivors then your teammates don't know how to play against legion. If you see your teammates gathered on a gen then go as far from them as possible.

I mean I'll give it a try. Maybe my MMR is just really high and that's why my matches are like this tonight. He was definitely buffed because I've never seen a Legion successfully hit all of the survivors in a match.

I only hit every survivor when they're grouped improperly or I'm running the green duration addon. I do not anticipate the fifth hit down being particularly useful in a month or so when folks are accustomed to it. In fact I see it being detrimental by teaching people to split up vs. legion, which neuters their power heavily. Time will tell.

I've played Legion numerous times and I've gone against a ton of Legions. They were never this strong.

You don't know how to counter him if he is able to stab all 4 people including you multiple times during the same frenzy every game. Good players/SWFs still stomp legion.
0 -
And I'm sure after tonight, when every TTV survivor has let legion do it once for their stream, you will never see it again. His buffs were an add on pass, pretty much the other things he got can be ignored, because they won't mean anything to good survivors.

Legion is still weak

Can confirm Legion needs a nerf, I played him and didn't see a 4 man escape so I believe he is over-tuned.
0 -
It has been about 14 hours since he released.
0 -
So do you also want a haddonfield nerf?
0 -
I like how he says "As a Bubba main" like that's some kind of qualification lol. Are you able to give a more in-depth analysis because you play the fat chainsaw man?

My head hurts.

Well you see Legion Frenzies. While Bubba tantrums. The similarities are pretty obvious really.
3 -
Legion NEEDS his Pillbottle to be good. On big maps however, he is not that strong.
Just dont mend 100% until Fency ends... secret revealed.

People cry to much. Legion still has counter play and still is a m1 killer. Always scatter far away when he charges near a group. You can prioritize gens over heals, since you'll probably spend 80% of the mach injured. His counterplay now, is kinda like the plague.

I'm sorry what.
Firstly in your original post "I don't know what buff legion got". Mid chapter JUST released and the patch notes are there for everyone to see.
"26 out of 28 games have been legion". Well yeah its mid chapter and players are checking out the new changes to the killer.
Comparing the legion rework to how COH and Boil over was released is a joke. Boil over literally made the game unplayable if survivors chose to abuse it (RPD For example) and when CoH was released it was extreamly overpowered.
The legion rework makes this killer playable and you complaining that he can see you in lockers....this was always a thing. Killer instinct on any killer will show you the location of a survivor within a range no matter where they are. Shadow step has never worked against killer instince as it blocks auras and scratchmarks. Killer instinct is not aura reading.
Maybe before you complain about something is "OP" you actually do some research on what the killer does and how certain mechanics (killer instinct) works.
You ask "Why would anyone even want to stay in a game with legion at this point" yet you say your basement bubba which is so boring to go against and is basicly face camping bubba just in the basement. Why would any survivor want to go against that. At least with legion you can get good chases and counter the power.

he's the same as before (split and do gens and he'll be a pure m1 with no power)... this change affected only solo survivor experience since solo cannot coordinate well (unless they know what they are doing, but you know, most of my teammates when i play survivor just dc, suicide on hook, or they are sandbag/trolling me...)
