One of the biggest problems with the Legion
The Legion has many issues that makes them a bad killer, but this thread is about to discuss one of the biggest issues about'em.
Inability to use perks. Almost no perk of the killer pool works with them, so I will describe what perks are useful and the ones that aren't.
A Nurse's Calling : Mending is not considered a healing action so you can't see survivors mending, plus no one heals against the Legion since their power is not lethal.
Agitation : Agitation works on all killers so it's decent
Bamboozle : It's okay since it blocks the windows, the only downside of it is that it doesn't block pallets.
Barbecue & Chilli : It's a fantastic perk on every killer but the Legion, since they can't down survivors they will hardly get any stack of the perk.
Beast of Prey : It's a pointless perk on all killers so yeah.
Bitter Murmur : It's Bitter Murmur. It works on very single killer.
Bloodhound : It's only useful if you're doing the moonwalk build, other than that it's pointless.
Blood Warden : They can't down survivors, so it's pointless.
Brutal Strength : It's pointless because you never break pallets, instead you are vaulting them.
Coulrophobia : There's three points why it doesn't work. 1) You don't have a large Terror Radius. 2) Mending doesn't count as a healing action. 3) No one is going to heal against you.
Deerstalker : You can't down someone so it's pointless.
Discordance : Now this perk iso very good on them, since you probably gonna get 2 hits on your frenzy. But I think this perk can be decent on every killer.
Distressing : It's decent because you can see survivors from far away, but
probably you will never reach'em.
Dying Light : You can't down survivors, so it's pointless, even more because it requires you to hook the obsession three times, one with a mori.
Enduring : It's pretty hard to get stunned with them, and it doesn't affect the fatigue, so it's pointless.
Fire Up : Fire Up is garbage so whatever.
Franklin's Demise : This is one of the best perks on the Legion, you will hit survivors many times. But it's a gimmicky perk.
Insidious : Why...
Iron Grasp : Again, good on every killer.
Hangman's Trick : It's situational, so not that useful.
Hex : Devour Hope : The Exposed effect doesn't apply to Frenzy so it's pointless, and if you get five stacks, good luck trying to down someone.
Hex : Haunted Ground : Again, Exposed doesn't apply in Frenzy.
Hex : Huntress Lullaby : You can't down survivors, so, again, it's pointless.
Hex : No One Escapes Death : Again, Exposed doesn't apply in Frenzy.
Hex: Ruin : It's good on every killer, so yeah.
Hex : The Third Seal : Actually, this is one of the best perks on the Legion, you can easily hit all the four survivors. But again it's a Hex perk, it can be taken down.
Hex : Thrill of The Hunt : It's decent on every killer, so whatever.
Iron Maiden : Again, the exposed status effect doesn't apply to Frenzy.
Knock Out : It would be decent if you could down someone, but you can't, so it's pointless.
Lightborn : uh... you can use it if someone has a flashlight, I guess.
Mad Grit : It's so situational, that it makes wanna kill myself.
Make Your Choice : All the "exposed doesn't apply to Frenzy" stuff.
Monitor & Abuse : This is one of the best perks on them, you are harder to notice out of a chase, and in a chase you can cover a bigger area in Frenzy.
Monstrous Shrine : Why would you ever use this perk.
Overcharge : It's Overcharge so it's okay.
Overwhelming Presence : You don't have a large Terror Radius.
Play With Your Food : by the time you get all the stacks you will lose them in one Frenzy.
Pop Goes The Weasel : 1) You can't down survivors. 2) You are too slow to reach a generator.
Predator : Eh... It's Predator.
Rancor : The thing about exposed not applying on Frenzy. Good luck trying to down the obsession.
Remember Me : It's meh on them, since you suffer a double stun. But you probably will have all the stacks.
Save The Best For Last : People thought that it's was going to be good on them, but the only time you will attack someone without your power is for down them, which makes the perk useless.
Shadowborn : You can use it, I guess.
Sloppy Butcher : Again, mending doesn't count as a healing action and survivors never heal against you.
Spies From The Shadows : Nope.
Spirit Fury : You will never break pallets and it's pretty rare to get stunned.
Stridor : It's decent.
Surveillance : LOL.
Territorial Imperative : Useless on them.
Tinkerer : Horrible.
Thanatophobia : It would be good on them if the perk wasn't garbage.
Unnerving Presence : You don't have a large Terror Radius.
Unrelenting : First off, why would you run this perk, second it's pointless since you have a reduced attack cooldown in Frenzy.
Whispers : It's alright.
So of 54 perks , the Legion can only use 15 perks, with most of them not being that good.
It's a large issue because you don't have many options of builds, while killers like Doc, Spirit, Billy, Wraith etc, can use so many perks that makes the Legion less interesting. Hell, even Freddy and LeatherFace have a large amount of builds, while Legion has so little opportunities for builds.
Anyway, give your comments about it.
Sorry for any grammar error.

A free sample, yeah. Get a taste, get hooked.
no pun intended thats for you btw, but really I always think of it as finding bugs or if the killer is OP or weak
