The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Legion...here we go again.

I agree Legion needed work. They've always needed work. This new strat the killers are doing with Legion makes the game so annoying and not fun at all. Don't get me wrong, I've escaped and I've been eliminated. Regardless of the outcome, it is nothing but annoying and aggravating. I'm starting to see DCs as well. As soon as people realize they're Broken after a mend......DC. I want balance. I don't like things too strong on either side. But when you're focusing on making a killer powerful enough to go 4K a good SWF or your beloved streamers, they're way too powerful for a normal solo que.

    I like playing against new Legion. It requires a lot of teamwork, strategy and brain function. Not the regular boring hold W and drop a god pallet for ez outplay.

    Regardless of the music, Legion adds a thrilling presence and an interesting kind of gameplay. But I'll bet they'll get nerfed anyways because some averages who mend while he is still in Frenzy complain about them because they can't escape every game.

    Once survivors get the quick message radial or information icons then solo que isn't going to be so bad.

    This is a bait

    There is no way someone is seriously thinking that Legion needs a nerf and not Blight addons

    nothing to do with it, I meant I have been playing Legion since day 1. Try to at least understand a post before you try to troll. Guy clearly does not understand Broken status not good for legion and those of us who actually play him, know this.

    The cherry on top is the 4th person is a free down outside the survivor's control. On a map like Coal Tower, it is easy to do.

    Easy way to prevent that if you're having trouble, have someone else mend you. You won't get any sort of status after mending if someone does it for you, just make sure to mend them as well. Or run Vigil, it'll reduce the time you have those sort of status effects.

    Here come the dog whistles for the devs... "boring" "unfun" "no counterplay" "too strong for solo queue"

    OP is the reason Behaviour is so scared of making killers strong. Nurse, Spirit and Blight have been at the top of every tier list for years. There's nothing wrong with shaking things up a bit every once in a while.

    Unless you think the legion is A wEe BiT oVeRpOwErEd, in which case you're part of the problem.

    Dunno what MMR you're playing at but I've still yet to ever see the 5th hit down happen on either side.

    going for the expose down. Sometimes you need to...narrow your focus.

    As fast and long as it lasts, it is a free down, why wouldn't you?

    Umm so what's annoying about the Broken status effect after Mend? You don't heal against Legion anyway...so it's a wasted addon slot. I don't see what the issue is.

    I've already posted this on another thread again I don't think most players are complaining about how hard it is to go against Legion but just how boring he is...

    hear me out:


    Legion doesn't need any nerfs or buffs...

    They need more than that : a complete true REWORK

    as long as feral frenzy is Legion's power they're always gonna stay in the trash tier list BHVR still doesn't realise how bad they messed up with Legion's power and design.

    Legion as a whole is just a boring killer to play or to go against don't want to be rude but how can you have fun when you know you're gonna get a free injure and you did nothing to deserve it just m2 and the survivor you're going to hit can't do anything about it.


    there are no mindgames,no nothing you just get injured and there was nothing you could do there.


    Most killers in the game have to make a skillful play/read to get a hit/down but it's not the case of the Legion,even Nurse the best killer in the game has to make a good read if she wants to injure a survivor.


    Legion just has a braindead power "Look I use my M2 and get survivors injured for free wow what a fun and interactive power for both sides!"


    the problem with Legion is not that they're hard to play against its just that Legion's power is so badly designed and boring for both sides...

    Once again the Legion needs a full REWORK to make his power fun and interactive for BOTH sides

    I think people know they need a rework. It's just that do you think bhvr would? Especially now?

    they're a very slow company indeed we'll probably have to wait a whole year and get a well deserved Legion rework in 2023 I hope...

    This is exactly it. Powers centered around repetitive game delay shouldn't be in the game. BHVR has a bit of a blind spot on repetitive and annoying mechanics. There's a psychological difference between holding M1 to progress an objective and being forced to hold M1 repeatedly because you're stalled

    just split out . dont mend close to a legion isnt that hard really?

    the only part i agree is that mending needs to be more interactive rather than holding m1 only.

    i know right like blight keeps getting addon buff and buff almost every patch like ...how alch ring is still a thing? but nah legion to strong pls nerf 😅

    here we go again. if you think something is unfair and unfun to go against you shouldn't do that to right ? survivors doesn't have rights to cry about how killers are op or strong.

    what is this awful take my guy? yes they're gonna get you injured no matter what you do but then what? they're just gonna chase you as a normal powerless m1 killer so they could down you. why do you have the mindset that a killer has to hit you twice to be skillful lol. by that logic any instadown killer us completely unskillful and needs a rework and so does plauge. this isn't the reason legion need one and anyways most people seem happy with how they play, they just wanna run fast , vault things and stab people.

    again, what is this awful take lol

  • Ayamir

    Who are you talking to my dude saying things I didn't even say you okay?

    Instadown killers like Bubba and Billy have to make a skillful play to get a down so they're far from 'unskillful' there is also counterplay to them but trust me they're miserable to play at high MMR.

    don't know what you're talking about "why do you have the mindset that a killer has to hit you twice" that's where you're wrong don't you find it boring and annoying to get injured,have to mend and there wasn't anything you could do about it ? not having counterplay makes things repetitive and unfun.


    You can use windows against Bubba also pallets so when he downs you he actually deserved it...

    even if Legion can't down survivors with his power just the fact that you can't do anything and he gets you injured for free without effort makes him so boring.

    do you enjoy mending and having your character moans for the whole game?

    I main Oni,an Instadown killer and there is counterplay to him he doesn't have a braindead power like Legion which makes him more interesting and fun to face.


    anyways do you want to know the truth about why I hate playing against Legion and why I find him boring ?

    beceause I can't use my For the People build against him :(

    Hope you understand why Legion's power is braindead compared to most killers.

    Not to mention Legion was very popular even before the buff, because how easy to play it

    I don't get why people are complaining about meeting too many legion. The patch just came out of course legion is going to get spammed. Just chill out wait a few days to a week and see if legion is going to get spammed again 😂 like what you guys said, legion doesnt need much skills so what makes you think any person wont get bored of playing a boring killer.

    Just chill, its just the patch hype, legion isnt even OP. Take a break from DBD or play killer for a change. Come back when the hype is over. Simple.

  • iamhnf
    iamhnf Member Posts: 77

    Where was this when I needed them before the buff? I only met nurses and blights 😂

    I dunno what MMR you playing in, because legion is in no way even easy in mid or high MMR. Its way too frustrating to play Legion.
