    I feel like the missed attacks during feral frenzy should instead do more percent depletion rather than a whole drain of the power. This looks as if 360s could really be a problem for Legion

    These changes sound great to me but I am slightly worried that it will be easier for legion to hit once with feral frenzy and then let power deplete and hit with regular M1 because of his movement speed buff.

    Can you confirm whether or not the cooldown reduction add-ons will be reworked?

    What counters did they have? Because i don't remember any counters to Legion, their was no counterplay that i have seen anyone do, the only thing i can think of was the window tech, which didn't take long for you and your gang to figure out how to counter that as well.

    Unless you can explain to me what kind counters they have. Please let me know @Shad03

    I avoided these forums because they are a cesspool of toxic trash gamers. You can find me on Twitter,twitch,mixer, Xbox and steam on the same ID. So no I'm not an alt account. I just have better things to do than bicker on a toxic forum.

    Sadly this redesign was the straw that broke the killers back. I've said the same thing to dbd devs on Twitter and Facebook. I'm here as I was told this was ideal to reach behavior.

    Thanks 😁

    how boring and a very sad way to reduce a killer to trash when there's people who actually enjoy them like me.

    This hits the nail right on the head imo


    I already thought legion was boring so i didn't bother, this is just insane.

    Legion like this is a m1 killer with a power that can be used as bad map travers. Thats it. Very loopable.

    The rare occasion that you hit multiple close survivors (after they know its legion players with more then 80 iq wont group up anymore) and then chase 1 of them dosent make up for that.

    What were their counters exactly? I personally like this change, they did get nerfed, but they got buffed in other areas.

    @DocOctober You mean on the forum where we heard about the changes IN THE FIRST PLACE? Right. Next absurd retort?

    Exactly. Remember when Freddy was released and the community was already crying in the first week.

    I wonder, would activating Insidious by standing still after hitting a survivor while frenzied work to trigger the timer of Deep Wounds?

    Also, will this update make it completely impossible to get The Legion's trophy/achievement?

    People spread the word on Discord and the Steam Forums as well. I don't see why it's an absurd assumption.

    Also, I thought you were done with me?

    What's to argue?

    Most people are calling the Legion ######### without even trying the changes. Most people are ignoring the fact that he was already bad before these changes will go live.

    The difference now is there is no longer a cheese mechanic. And a lot of people are against it.

    @kisfenkin Because you lose your TR then yes it would/should.

    But again because mending now stops the timer it would be pointless

    I like the missed attack change. all killers get punished for missing their attacks, except legion, that never made any sense and never felt fair for the survivor. You could make 5 bad swings and still get hit by legion. I like the part where you can't see bloodmarks during feral frenzy because it felt unfair for survivor to be unable to "escape" from legion since it's like impossible to break LOS because your legit faster than they are.

    I don't like the other changes. Terror radius sounds good on paper, because you can see survivors further in your power, but whats the point if you can't catch up to hit them in first place. I don't like the change that makes it so you can't use your power if your power gauge isn't full, that reduces his skill-cap as he can't optimize his power efficiency if he sees other survivors that are grouped as he chases another person.

    The inability to hit survivors to further reduce deep wound timer and moonwalk(look at the floor while not in the chase) is mixed opinion. in one way, survivors find that mechanic unfair because gives him 100% certainty to down a survivor, in another way, it's gives his pallet vaulting meaning and gives him a anti-loop. I think that this mechanic is main reason why most survivors disconnect against legion, but no killer really likes fighting god loops because they feel so helpless against them, so it's mixed opinion for whether any killer should options to combat them. That's why people play Nurse, Billy and Spirit and huntress to some degree, so they can speed up downing speed and weaken looping in general.

  • Shirtless_Myers
    Shirtless_Myers Member Posts: 381

    Oof. These changes straight out killed the Legion. There is no reason, at all, to remove their power entirely on missed attacks while in Frenzy. Why would they also nerf their movement speed while in Frenzy? This is disappointing news, and just leads into asking if they know how to balance at all? Hillbilly moves faster during his power, has an insta down, and no timer on his power.

  • Peasant
    Peasant Member Posts: 4,104

    @Crythor But that's the thing, you CANNOT activate Feral Frenzy after a successful normal hit because that drains the power bar. So Legion's entire power is quite frankly a free early hit. That's it.

  • MasterUff
    MasterUff Member Posts: 78

    Why should I use his power with this changes? that makes no sense, without feral frenzy, im just slightly slower, but can follow the survivor easier, because i can see scratch marks and down him. Thats what I cant with feral frenzy, down my target. Now i can even hit him endless because it does nothing. Its just a useless power. Why should I play trapper without traps? That makes no sense. I played him really rarely, but now, i wont play him.

    Point to where I said it fixed anything other than cheese mechanics. Unless, of course you prefer exploiting Deep Wound to do what it's not designed to do?

  • Dwight_Confusion
    Dwight_Confusion Member Posts: 1,650

    From what I can tell... he got nerfed overall right?


    I mean he was never that strong to begin with. The changes made it sound like he was this OP #1 killer that needed nerfed.

    So Frank's mix tape is 100% gone now?

  • Jimmy_Voorhees
    Jimmy_Voorhees Member Posts: 18

    I'm hard pressed to point to you saying anything other than just being contrarian.

    I'm all for removing cheeses. This far exceeds that and literally makes legion a M1 killer.by nerfing his ability and buffing him by default, the typical player will now just M1 their way to victory. We have enough of those. Let's not add another.

  • Mc_Harty
    Mc_Harty Member Posts: 3,293

    And unlike many of the other posters here, I rather fix ######### that makes the game unfun, regardless of the role they main.

  • DocOctober
    DocOctober Member Posts: 2,230

    A buttload of buffs?

    Only 2 or 3 changes are buffs, the rest are nerfs and they quite outnumber the buffs.

    I never said it was perfect. I said it stops cheese mechanics. That's good enough for me.

    If Legion needs to be buffed after the changes, I'll root for his buffs. But only after I tried him out. Not any sooner.

    Also, who the ######### did I attack? What are you talking about?

  • Jimmy_Voorhees
    Jimmy_Voorhees Member Posts: 18

    By "attack the person" that's debate speak for your incessant need to make the topic about people and NOT the topic those people are trying to discuss.

    You're literally just being a hindrance to this conversation, and this is my final post addressing you until you actually address the topic aside from " woohoo the cheese is gone, I don't care beyond that" . that's literally the most unconstructive, pointless, and ridiculous position to have.

    Have a good night, see you in the fog.

  • takumi1974

    1. Because it's the best strategy to avoid window looping and make time to chase shorter effectively. Now, he is just trapless trapper.

    2. Not about this argument. This thread is about "fix" the Legion.

  • Mc_Harty
    Mc_Harty Member Posts: 3,293

    Oh, is that what we we're having?

    I thought this was a 'discussion' board. Good job at ignoring what I said about me rooting for Legion if he needs buffs.

  • wurzelbart

    Maybe that was the long awaited Freddy buff! :O Mind = blown @ricardo

  • Jimmy_Voorhees
    Jimmy_Voorhees Member Posts: 18

    This plus the missed hit instant end to FF and the buff to base speed will do nothing but promote basic M1 legion.

    Survivor mains, and it looks like the devs as well, won't be happy until every killer is just a different skin with essentially the same play.

    Can't wait to see them ruin the plague. Better enjoy her until she's destroyed to push players toward buying the next killer and starting the process over.

    That's what behavior has been doing all along if people hadn't noticed.

    "1 - Well a lot of people did exploit the unintended use of Frenzy of Moonwalking for a long ass time, what did you expect?"

    That has nothing to do at all toward missed attacks while in Frenzy. It's good that they'd take out the cheese tactic, but that's heavy handed to nerf them to the point their power hurts them more heavily then the mend a survivor would be forced to go through if missed.

    "2 - Next in line for "re-work" - Billy"

    I sincerely doubt they're changing Billy next, Nurse is much more broken with the correct add-ons. Freddy still needs that rework, too.

    Legion needed changes to remove the unfair aspects that made it unfun to play against them, that much is true. These heavy handed nerfs however are awful and strip Legion of being anything more than an M1 killer with an easy first hit.

  • kyosuke_86
    kyosuke_86 Member Posts: 2

    I had bought ALL the killers, and I quit playing this game because the developers have to hand wins to survivors. I hope more killer main's quit the game, so the developers can now have Suvivor mains complain about not getting into games anymore, like they complain about killers being an actual threat until they get nerfed. The developers ALREADY need to balance the game for the fact that survivors can use voice chat to track killers.

  • kyosuke_86
    kyosuke_86 Member Posts: 2

    Killer main's just need to quit, see how far survivor mains get when they complain so much they nerf killers into not being fun to play with anymore.

  • Crythor
    Crythor Member Posts: 296

    You are ofc right i forgot that xD So that means legions power is only a bit map traverse and other then that he is a m1 killer without ability.
