    fun if you find it fun, or bloodpoints. Legion can get bloodpoints for Deviousness with ease.

    What they were going for was a killer that was good at stalling for time and making sure the game was heavily slowed down

    they succeeded at first but it was absolutely broken and unfun to play against as a survivor; especially with the bugs to the mending add-ons.

    He can essentially accomplish the same thing nowadays but not nearly as potent as before, there's kind of no point in going a killer like Legion when there are perks that do the same job more efficiently and consistently on other killers.

    Wanna make survivors not do gens that much? Run Ruin, Thrilling Tremors, Corrupt intervention, Sloppy Butcher, etc.

    I have fun with playing Susie. I rack up Bloodpoints really well, so far in most experiences, Feral Frenzy on multiple Survivors tends to make em scatter or do stupid things....people also underestimate Legion and make mistakes. Unlike a vocal majority, I enjoy their backstory/lore and enjoy their ability. Even if I hate the slower vault speed and ending Feral Frenzy off of a single missed attack (seriously should jus deplete the meter instead, granting 2-3 hits at most), I still do really well as them. Finally, they have an awesome Mori animation!


    I know that nobody cares, but I do wish people would start saying They when referring to Legion. Legion isn't jus Frank/Joe y'all...so many jus say "He"

    *slow shrug*

    I enjoy the Legion's raw speed and intensity. The frantic, frenzied nature of their gameplay fits the time-conscious nature of killer gameplay well, thematically. I also enjoy anything that gives me improved tracking and Feral Frenzy does not disappoint in that regard. I've successfully ganked people who were hiding and healing in the basement that I never would have seen if not for that power.

    They're one of my baby killers that I don't play much but would like to play more. I'd probably do like a Pop/Sloppy/Nurse's/BBQ build on him or something? I can see how it would suck to play them at high ranks but they just seem like pure, simple, high octane fun to me.

    Oh...

    Well, its a easy to play killer. I found it more fun after the rework. He has a good skill to stall the game and let you hunt the last deep wounded.

    People can not get why he is very effective, but well used, he can make the gen progression a nightmare and get some kills.

    Besides, its a 9k shards character, and all shards characters must be bought, imho.

    Stabbing, it's all about stabbing.

    Legion is tremendously weaker than pre rework, but I don't blame bhvr. He was a ######### nightmare I hated him.

    Legion is still annoying and disgusting to play against idk why everyone thinks they're fixed lol. I play them cause its easy to get at least a 2k since everyones constantly mending.

    Five Reasons why I play Legion:

    1. Sloppy Butcher

    2. Thanatophobia

    3. Nasty Blade

    4. Nurse's Calling

    5. I would rather put a live rat in my mother's pasta than care about survivor's feelings.

    5. The new matchmaking doesnt cuck me over so I can actually enjoy other killers instead of being forced to only play Legion and get bored with him.

    5. To annoy anyone who cried for his rework by giving them a build tremendously worse than FMT/Cold Dirt since it benefits me more and benefits then less than the previous build.

    5. Suzie Cutie

    He is mainly used to waste survivor time. If you use him right, the survivors will take much longer to complete their objective and with that extra time you can wipe them out. People like to say hes awful but personally, if you use him in a very aggressive and target switch often you can have plenty hooks before a gen can even be fixed.

    I enjoy the frenzied, Hyper aggressive play style I get with Legion. I enjoy chasing a survivor down and bleeding them, then either going after there friends if I see them or cancel (and eat the BS stun) and go after them. Some part if it just hits the right spots for me, much like the noises Freddy's claws make when he hits people.

    Legion is good at stalling the game, finding survivors, stabbing all of them and just getting bloodpoints for screwing around the entire game.

    What's not to like?

    Oh you're one of those killer mains who must get 4K every match.

    Nevermind forget I said anything.

    Personally I enjoy just stabbing everyone over and over and over again untill they

    A: Give up

    B: Keep mending

    C: Run to me and point at hook

    D: Disconnects

    Survivors always hate mending (holding m1) and I enjoy their suffering jk, they're great at stalling, forcing gens to take longer (Thanatophobia), finding people (killer instinct), and trolling (keep DW everyone)

    Gameplay wise Legion is completly trash but Susie and Devil may care joe are so nice skins, one of the best looking skins in this game, and the story of this Killer is pretty nice.

    No reason outside of just feeling like they're fun. Power use to be better since I could stab somebody multiple times to end the chase but nobody liked that so now we have a useless power with mostly useless add ons that five a 60sec debuff if you use your useless power to stab them again.
