A careful opinion about the massive dislike on Legion
The players of this game were educated by Dead by Daylight in getting used to giving 2 blows to knock down a survivor, (or sometimes only one) and suddenly they launch a killer who has a more complex mechanic.
I do not want to be a hypocrite but as someone who prefers to play as a survivor I find it interesting because, as quick as he is, (Legion) he HAS MECHANICS about chasing, cause damage and track survivors making the game insanely based on survive, in a cool way to avoid Gen-rush stuff that killers hate so much.
Sometimes I think the company should work not on buff this killer or nerf survivors, but rather on full reworks of characters for easy adaptation of the new in the game, and I mean survivors, perks and killers in general, rather than always a "nerf here and Buff there"
For example, there are several killers with stealthy mechanics, so what's the repetition? there are several survivors with healing mechanics as if there were no more uniqueness (or do you think less than 80% of players around the world do not use self-healing?)
In conclusion, there is virtually no uniqueness in the game, and this makes almost no one to accept new and challenging mechanics, and it's a job for Behavior to focus on.

I dunno man, the high speed and combinations of perks like the nurse's calling make it really strong as EVERYTIME someone will be healing on a match against legion
High speed, so what? What's the use of high speed (on very short distances), when you can't down someone with it?
NC isn't good, because "mend" isn't under "healing", so NC won't work against it. Most survivors won't heal normal wounds, so what's the point of using the NC?
And there you are wrong, Nobody will heal vs Legion if they are smart
His Power just needs to be more lethal vs injured survivors
there has to be an incentive to heal back up
If you have that his power slows the game down
You can have your nurse calling builds
And they will be 10 times better
Until there is, Legion has no way to apply any kind of pressure
The only thing you can do is this state is pray survivors don't know about how not healing counters him
If they don't you have a fairly balanced killer, If they do your kinda out of luck
If your power limits your capability to down a survivor fast your a crap killer simple as. Gens are designed in a way that the only pressure that will force survivors off gens is hook pressure any less and you lose. The docs,Freddy and pigs design proved delay tactics are useless without the threat of being a powerful anti loop killer who can take you down fast if they play their power well. At rank one 2 minute chases can't happen otherwise you lose. Until gens start see a full rework the only killers worth playing are hyper mobile lethal killers who prioritize anti loop and mobility over pathetic delay tactics. This game has a fundamental foundation problem with gens and until they fix that the design space for killers will be limited.
