    What's your point? The counter is there, is it not?

    So why did i take him to say it, and not you. If that is the counter-play then it doesn't excuse the fact that no one is going to be running No Mither 24/7. Thinking that is just stupid. Nor was i talking to you either.

    That wasn't the point. You said pallet looping was fine because there were perks to help against it. I'm just using the same logic. @Detective_Jonathan

    Clearly more Survivors should be using it since moonwalking Legion is such a terror.

    Still waiting for a response for using tracking perks.

    Because I'd never thought of No Mither as a counter to moonwalking. The only counter I know that wasn't mentioned in this thread, as far as I could tell, is triggering the chase conditions yourself. It's not like the Legion can see exactly where you are, so you should be able to run around them and force them into a chase. At least, so I was told.

    Any smart legion with ears would be able to hear the survivor running up to them in order to begin a chase. They could either turn around and hit them or simply wait for them to appear in front of them and down them. Thinking like that entirely is stupid as your Mend timer is already drained significantly, and all they would have to do is use their power and down you, either that, or m1. Whoever told you that, probably don't know what they are talking about. @Orion

    @Tzeentchling9 It wouldn't make sense because no one uses No mither to begin with. And moonwalking Legion isn't even the basis of the discussion to begin as well, it's the bugged add-ons,

    Also, in response to your tracking perks, if you are moonwalking to find them, yes, you are exploiting it the same thing could be said for looking down and not chasing them. Same thing goes for Stridor, but it can be countered slightly by Iron Will, and unless you actually have a brain, you should be able to find the survivor as they still make some bit of noise.

    Sounds are bugged, so that wouldn't necessarily be the case. Also, the forumgoer who commented this method claimed to have a decent success rate with it. Besides, worst case-scenario, you're stuck in the same situation - about to go into the dying state.

  • Detective_Jonathan
    Detective_Jonathan Member Posts: 1,165

    Sounds are perfectly fine, if that were the case, i wouldn't be playing Spirit. Also, who is this Forum user who claims to have success rate with it? And how come no one else has backed him up?

    What Rank was he? Was the Legion good or Bad?

    These are all questions that i would like answered, so unless you are able to contact he/she, then feel free too.

    Idk if anyone has said if it's bannable or not, but i asked BHVR member and he said it is NOT bannable since it's a bug. Sure it's "exploiting" if you knowingly use it, but banning for using add-ons would be really silly. It will most likely be fixed with the legion update or earlier.

    Sounds aren't fine for everyone. Look at all the threads.

    I don't remember the name, and I have my doubts about their methods as well. That's why I gave you methods that demonstrably work.

    @Tzeentchling9 When you're facing Myers, you're supposed to be looking around and paying attention. If he walks up close enough to tier off you while you're no where safe, that's kinda on you as the survivor. I think that's what they're meaning when they say there's a counter to it.

    As for Bloodhound vs Stridor, one takes more skill to utilize imo. If you're running Bloodhound, you can just follow a path until the person inevitably falls down. They aren't being "chased," despite being followed. There really isn't anything a survivor can do in this situation. Also No Mither isn't viable to run if it's only good against one killer who's not even top tier. Its main benefit is largely ignored by good killers who know to pick up the NM, too, and you spend the entire match one-shot.

    So if i go into General Discussions, you're telling me i would find multiple threads talking about how sounds are bugged.

    Your Methods are also questionable.

    Best to inform any friends you have that play DbD who don't go to these forums.

    You might save them from a ban...

    Good thing we know it's a Legion oh wait no we don't but here's an idea show who the killer is to survivors in the lobby. The killer is locked in once they made their choice and survivors cna then choose which character and perks they want.


    Looping has counters, moonwalking Legions don't and the devs stated right off the bat that it was an unintended exploit of the chase mechanics. They also said that they wouldn't ban for it but if it became too abused they'd change it.


    Now go figure they're going to rework Legion so that they can't moonwalk EXPLOIT anymore, thus that means it's an exploit.

    What is this thread devolving into? Can we all band together and be biased towards killers together? We already lost a killer supporter who tried survivor and it was so terrible it drove him to quit.


    Let's put our differences aside and work together to influence the game until 4k under 3 min becomes the norm!

    What is the legion exploit? I'm probably getting this very very wrong but Is It just using the filthy blade and nasty blade? Or Is there something more to It?
