Can everyone STOP saying Legion isn't fun to play as and is weak?
Because wow am i getting tired of hearing this it's so far from the truth.
Legion is not weak in fact i'd say with his good add-ons they are Nurse Tier. With Mix Tape Legion downs in 3 hits the first 2 are instant as soon as a chase begins add cold dirt to the mix and this 3rd will be damn near instant as well.
Even without Franks mix tape it just takes 1 more hit all while survivors can't use pallets/windows to avoid them
A big mistake i see Legion's making all the time is playing like a standard M1 killer. NEVER chase in normal mode even against injured survivors just follow until your power is back up. They want you to 4.4 m/s chase them don't take that bait it can kill your momentum. (Unless no structure or pallet is nearby)
Go for multi hits/RESPECT PALLETS the survivors cannot make it around a loop faster than you if you hard respect then activate as soon as they move away from the pallet. If they camp it (stand in the drop range not moving) basic M1 force it down then hop over it.
If they camp a pallet while you're already in frenzy waiting to stun you so you can't double hit at the start remember Legion was buffed you can now cancel your power in that situation without losing your meter.
I 100% believe just like the Nurse if you find someone who plays a lot of Legion you're going to lose because their power just removes defense from survivors.
He isn't fun to play AGAINST.

Legions who tunnel you and teammates who do nothing are really unfun. Especially when you pretty much have to wait to heal twice over with the mending rubbish.
0 -
What do you personally consider a tunneling Legion?
One that focuses you down hook after hook?
Or just Legion hitting you 4 times in a row then hooking you?
I'd agree with the first one those people are very boring to go against.
The second one is just a standard Legion chase that's how we get downs. If a good Legion doesn't hear the killer instinct heartbeat which says someone else can be chain hit that's what they should do.

But he is.

I love playing Legion because when a survivor teabags me when the person dropped a pallet. I can just hop over it and be like "Do that again fam"

Legion is unfun to play against as survivor.
Legion is unfun to play as when survivors just dc on me.

In my case, I LOVE to play AS Legion, it feels kinda electric, with the sprints and stuff... But when you are on the recieving end it is not that fun.
Still, I am not a "Legion = DC" kind of guy. But I also play killer 80% of the time, only playing survivor if a friend of mine is online, so...
Also, I prefer going against Legion that going against a Billy. 1hit ko's feel disgusting if are not given by a perk.

I don't run into DCs when i play Legion surprisingly.
If i do it's usually when they get downed on death hook so it doesn't bother me. If everyone quit early yeah i could see that making Legion boring.

I feel like playing Legion. I have. Afre Times But I’m Not sure which perks to focus on.
Nurse’s Calling seems like a no-brainer with the amount of healing survivors have to do.
Maybe Pop-Goes-The-Weasel to hamper any ground the make with generators?
Hex: Ruin (we all know why)
Discordance after that?
1 -
My go to build is BBQ/Whispers/M&A and Ruin.
The only one that needs explaining here i think is M&A.
M&A is a GREAT legion perk.
It lets you get closer before survivors can react and when you're in a chase it extends your terror radius allowing Legions Killer instinct to find survivors from further away as well as increasing your FoV.
Nurses isn't great on Legion since mend doesn't count as healing and good survivors won't heal against you.
Discordance is good as it tells you about a potential multi-hit play.

Yes people, stop stating your own opinions.
Gosh!

never needed whispers on legion. If you want to find the last survivor chase around the other one for a bit.

Legion is fun.
End of story.

Also don't understand the ppl who prefer to play vs nurse who's basically like giving a killer a gun from the Movie Eraser or Billy who 1shots you while zipping around the map and becoming impossible to play against because of BBQ and insane snowballing with instasaw addons.

Would your response be the same if this post was about people who say Nurse is weak because you to learn blink times/range?
0 -
I run it for facing immersed players in general not just for the last person.
4 people hiding in lockers or urban evading around not touching gens annoys me more than anything.

Absolutely.

At least you're not biased then. I like your response Mr. Boss 👍

Hey, if you find Legion fun, good for you!
I love the ######### out of Wraith currently, which makes people immediately say CAMPUR!

Legion is no fun to play as, and even worse to play against. It is twice as much M1 as normal, and he really does not have a counter. I see every match vs Legion as a fun test to see how much I can get done before I get tunneled to the hook. Then, I let myself die and move on to another match.
As killer - I only play Legion if I'm stuck with his horrible daily. Worst killer to play as IMO. I'd rather play as Freddy with no perks or addons - as in Splinter Freddy, of which I played as 4 times today for fun. Got rolled once, it was ugly. Still more fun than Legion though.

If you're not using m1 to down ppl without frank's mixtape then you're doing it wrong, the only exception is ppl sitting on pallets so you can hit them without using much of your power
0 -
Tunneled to the hook? Aka not dropping chase and letting you mend in 10 seconds wasting the Legions time?
0 -
@Warlock_2020 My feelings exactly. Legion is just a snoozefest.
0 -
Even if I don’t win Legion is fun as or against. <3
2 -
They are the worst killers in the game, do u expect killer to ignore the fact that devs decided to buff Freddy by implementing a weaker killer than him?
3 -
Agreed. Even if Legion was bad he's fun just to move around as
1 -
The problem for me is that Legion is annoying to go against. And if you use Frank's Mixtape and Cold Dirt, yes they become Nurse Tier, but differently from the Nurse it takes no skill to down a survivor, which is something I'm strongly against. All killers need to require some skill to be used at their full potential in my opinion.

Legion isn't my main, but I LOVE playing as Susie and giving people stabby hugs! Love my Perks on,her so far too! Discordance, Stridor, Spirit Fury and Ruin. Need to get more Teachables unlocked for Legion tho! I don't find em boring to play as at all.
Playing VS em really depends on the player's playstyle but like any Killer, it's hit and miss.
0 -
Legion is for the casual players...... I mean come they take the least amount of time to learn.... their power can never be punished even if they mess up.... they have 0 cooldown on missed or successful attacks........and when all else fails and you're tired of losing you dont even have to chase... just look at grass and blood and let the timer tick down...... legion is the killer for noobs...
2 -
Yeah keep telling yourself that. A legion playing like that will never get a 4k unless the survivors don't do gens at all.
You're basically saying a for example Zubatlel playing Legion is the same as a rank20 playing legion, this just shows that you have no clue
3 -
There's honestly not enough people who play Legion. I feel like Legion matches are so rare for me to encounter.
0 -
Might as well call this game Dead by Billy/Nurselight sprinkled in with some Huntress at high ranks. Also interesting business model, making killers that nobody will buy by wasting his auric cells.
0 -
Yeah. I have Legion, but I've only played him once, because I'm a survivor main. But I did 4k with him. Maybe I'll try him out some more.

I love play Legion and I love playing against Legion btw susie best Legion<3

If you need purple add ons to be strong, you're not strong
2 -
1 game means nothing, Try doing that against competent survivors. Killing them even with frank's mixtape takes too long.
0 -
Legion doesn't need them and i explained why in the op.
They only make them go from good to unbeatable.
0 -
New Susie and Joe outfits when?!
0 -
? It takes like 10-15 seconds to down with franks
You can almost immediately hit with your power again after the stun because you get charge during it.
I never feel like it takes too long to get downs even without it tbh. You just hit 4 times don't even have to worry about good looping.
0 -
How bout Susie and Joey unique voices/sounds. Def want em,to be different than Frank and Julie
0 -
"Legion" and "Nurse tier" should never be used in the same sentence unless it's opposite day
0 -
that takes TOO much time by far, 3 hits is not viable against any survivorteam that does gens.
0 -
Hit em once tag others if near if not run as close as you can and then end the frenzy usually a fairly easy m1
0 -
4 hits with legion hopping pallets and windows is faster than 2 hits while looping with any other M1 killer.
No survivor counterplay means you're faster downing than other killers...
And genrushing doesn't exist btw wow survivors doing objectives? No way...
0 -
It's genrushing when they don't have to heal against you, if you rely on m2. Very good survivor groups can even mess with a nurse that hits almost every teleport.
0 -
@Bbbrian2013 gen rush still is a thing. It’s when a coordinated group who is likely better than you does the gens at a speed that you can not counter.
0 -
ez copypasta.
0 -
Genrush also mostly happens because voicecom allows members to do gens without fear even if the killer is a stealth killer also stuff like coordinated rescues or just sending 1 etc.
