Dear legion mains and enthusiast
Hello there I was thinking last night of a fun way to play legion to help survivors as they seem to have a really dislike for us so much magic dcs happen. I am not a legion main I just enjoy playing them from time to time enjoying a killer I paid for I don't play horrible or use nasty tactics or anything but as soon as survivors see I'm legion the dcs start.
Anyway my idea is to play a perkless no add on legion who will not use the power and just walk at survivors. This is going to be a test to see how many dcs I can get using this method of not doing anything but just be legion.
Why do you ask mainly for fun and laughs but my friend plans to do it also maybe we can post our findings up on this post regarding survivors reactions to this legion.
Thank you for your time 🙂

But they DC as soon as they see me, frenzy or not

Played against a Legion yesterday who imho played him/her how they were intended. They didn't tunnel, didn't camp, didn't moonwalk and still kicked our arses. No one DC'd either imagine that...

That's the point plu it's stupid that they dc based on hey its legion and by using a version of legion that does nothing with nothing will hopefully prove how silly people can be with the dcs.

Also you are helping our research with this information thank you 😁

Don't play perkless if you're just going to M1.
Instead grab:
Bamboozle
Brutal Strength
Enduring
Fire Up
For the "piece de resistance" offer Broken Glasses.
Congratulations, you've just become Mr.X
For best results play DMX's X gonna give it to ya in the background.

I havent touched Legion yet but one thing I'd do is let the people window/palette juke me as that is one of their few counterplays against a good legion. And I would drop the frenzy right before reaching a gen so they have time to hear where I am coming from and react quicker instead of going potato for a second if I'm gonna be extra nice.

That sounds like a interesting way to play also fun will try that after our experiments
Thank you!

@Shad03 @Darkskies The key thing about the build is that in all honesty it is a pure skill build. You have no tracking perks, you have no time buying perks. All of the perks are dedicated to saving time in the chase. I've had nothing but fun with the set up because even when you lose there's something inherently satisfying about vaulting 35% faster, breaking pallets 40% and recovering from stuns 75% faster.

Glad to see this thank you for adding information towards our experiment. I don't do anything but play legion how like you say we're intended but the amount of times I get a dc because I'm just legion is crazy!

Update so far with a legion with no perks or add ons and no power no dcs survivors seem to enjoy this legion I eve used a shroud of separation to fool them to think I was using a mori so yeah this was fun for me to experience the reaction to this legion but more testing and got dmx ready for fun time legion build waiting 😁

So so far we have 3 dcs because its just legion to 2 staying hopefully we can add more numbers to help this experiment

OK a dc because I brought a secret offering but that's not because of legion also my friend got a dc for the same lol weird
We asked the survivors what they thought of our legion build and play style.. Following are comments on our playstyle
"to throw your foot". "best build ever" "it's good" "I think you play well it's not focused its apeciated"...best response is as follows to a perkless no add on no ability legion
" the perks where perfect and completely op and the fact that you didn't use your ability synergized with it*

I honestly do love the players that have a good sense of humour and its made me understand that legion isn't hated its just how people play him and that was the purpose of this experiment

for your experiment, can we at least use legions frenzy to get around the map quickly? 110% speed killers have a hard time keeping map pressure and dealing with loops without using their power, so instead of using the power for chase and attack, using it as a tool to move around the map quickly and keep pressure should be fine right?

Yeah why not we need different verables to get a true understanding to why legion is hated

@Darkskies Ok, I'm in on this experiment, will play a few games and update you on the results.

Plus getting feed back from the people you vs will be awesome

This is very helpful I think to legion mains and the community actual facts than just we hate nurf change ect we need more realist views if we are to come to understandable change I thank you personally for aiding this cause ❤️

Also if you could use a shroud of separation that would be awesome as people think it's a mori when in fact it's the worst choice for a legion that would help plz 😉

Hey awesome news no dcs using a build and add ons then I pushed with a mori and the iridescent button no dcs very surprising results no dcs

5 short games, no perks, add-on's, power was used for traversal only (except once to apply deep wounds at the exit gates for a daily). Results: 3 dc's in 1 game, no dc's in the others. Feedback was mostly positive, but one game was just toxic "gg ez", "learn to play [homophobic+racial slur]" etc. Gonna move on to using my normal build and see if anyone DC's this time.

Nice that's so cool you play a restricted legion and get extreme hate are you on console or pc? I'm sorry they did that to you
0 -
@Darkskies Playing on PC, I'm used to the toxicity, usually get a kick out of it and if it gets too annoying I just close the chat and enjoy the game in peace. First game of legion with my normal build: BBQ&C/SB, M&A, Thana, Stridor + Stolen Sketchbook, and Joey's mix tape had no DC's. 2nd game had 2, 3rd game had none. I'm wondering if the results are a bit skewed however due to the free weekend and lots of new players trying it out though. I'm not used to there being this many games where no one DC's, and even though its welcome, its a bit odd. Either way, I'm gonna keep taking advantage of it while it lasts.

I played one game and the dc was pretty quick, I think they saw a legion and just hit leave game.

Something to try. Play a game with a normal build and only put people into DW without double hitting and then chase them as 110% afterwards (no moonwalking). If there is a group apply it to everyone but again once applied just chase the survivor normally with no cheese.
See how close we can get to optimal legion playstyle before the DC's start

@NuclearBurrito I actually deep wound them with one hit get close end the frenzy and chase them normally. Doing this I’ve had three people dc in total and playing the way the OP suggested one dc.

Fascinating

X GONNA GIVE IT TO YA
Anyway since you're interested in M1 Legion gameplay I've got some right here:
I apologize for the lesser than ideal quality, but I own a decent gaming computer, not a NASA grade government paid computer.

I can't express the amount of thanks to people trying out weird things with legion to try and understand why legion is hated.Tbh after many games.I think the using of a secret offering was more hated than legion even though it was a shroud not a mori.
I think the problem is how people play legion using moonwalking etc
also the frenzy followed by coming out of the power I guess feels like tunnelling? Deep wounds people say is an unfun process but I still don't understand why.
I find legion very fun to play and go against and I have heard people say the same. At this point I am amazed by the people I came across such great humours even some offering me advice and tips.
@TreemanXD will try what you have suggested

I've done that! You're very slow and can't catch many people, especially patrolling gens can be hard. No Mend = No DC in my experience.
I've also played Trapless Hag before the speed boost, so that was fun. And a Doctor who only uses Punishment to test his speed. I got thanked for giving people achievements (since they don't enter M1, I think).
