    A rework would be better, but he's just annoying to play against is all.

    Having guaranteed damage states was not the best choice for Legion, so slapping that on a high mobility, high pressure design like Tokyo Ghoul was not a decision I agree with.

    On that I wouldn't agree, for every other killer, making distance is a great way to enhance chase times. However, it is not possible to do effectivly when agains't Kaneki. He also has the ability to fast vault pallets and windows when the survivor is injured. Furthermore, the kidnap tech is way too strong (free hit) to be uncounterable. Therefor, he isn't "just an m1 killer" after the first hit

    TL;DR: He can be played against, you just need to learn the intricacies like you would any other killer. Refuse to, and that's a you problem.

    Best thing you can do is hope that RNGesus is on your side and you can chain tiles close together. It's just another blight situation. Listen for that weird fwomp sound effect to signal when he's got power back, and try to bait a leap while running back into where he's coming from. And for the kidnap, either get behind LOS while they're using their first leap, or just stay right at the vault if you believe you can't run anywhere. AND I MEAN BE COLLIDING AGAINST THE VAULT. He'll only be able to bite from the other side.
