Glad To See The Devs Come Back To The Right Path
By old DBD times, classical design philosophies said:
A killer's power could let a chasing be more easily, but it cant be vital. If so, it should be an passive power like traps or less intensive and limited.
love to see that the Legion obeys the classic rules again.
His power make the chasing more easily but cant rely on it anymore. And there for sure will be many playstyle after this update, here is one I suggested in another topic
As you all noticed there will be a rework of the Legions. I think it will let the Legions to be tier1 walking killers.
It's a game about chasing and escaping by accident. Not a game of competition between repairing speed and killing speed. So if a killer relies on its power to kill, then its not a good one.
---
I can give you guys many examples.
Wraith: not vital, but his power can give a sudden horror and a move enhancement.
Trapper: vital, but it's passive.
Doctor Yang: not vital, but can suck the ability to interact with windows and pallets for 2.5 seconds.
Pig: less vital, most times it just delay the gen repairing.
I think they are good designation and healthy to the game environment.
-----------------
But there are still bullshit Flying Killers.
Nurse: no need to spawn words, vital and effective.
Billy: just like above.
Those two got a common: vital and fast. Even no cost no price after a power activation.
Just activation power again and again. Nonestop
---------------
Kinder good designations:
Bubba: also vital, but he will slow down when he is charging his saw and easy to hit obstacle and then a long stun time. What's even important, compaired to Billy, it wont gives Bubba an infinite moving enhancing. He cannot fly.
Myers: vital, but high cost.
Bunny: less vital, but make the chasing easy, for its axe can fly. Also limited for only 5 chance normally.

Happy to see the Legion update. Thanks Devs. And go on😜
Comments
Hear hear. Love these changes. Might make Legion matches tolerable.
"Happy to see the legion update! Thanks for nerfing and destroying a killer I dont even play! Once again, complaining about a killer gets more results than actually having to learn how to counter them! Take this salty legion mains who spent milions of BPs in your favorite killer ! You think killers can have fun?? How can you be so arrogant and selfish! Only survivors can HAVE fun!"
Not to mention that you're logic doesnt make sense. But I get it,you're only happy now cause you can finally loop another killer. Next up on the rework list: nurse can no longer hit survivors after a blink,stun increased after a blink to 10 seconds,but now she is a 115% WoW sO bAlAnCeD.
DbD has long moved on from being the game it was in 2016, when your classical design philosophy was applicable. The game was much slower-paced back then, so it made sense for Powers to alleviate the chase, but not be vital to it.
The game's average trial length has gone down to about 50-60% of what it used to be back then and your classical design philosophy is outdated and no longer applicable for a fair and balanced game.
Nowadays, we can observe with easy that if a Power does not help in chase, a Killer is bad, if a Power only helps a bit in chase, a Killer is mediocre, and if a Power helps in chase, a Killer is good.
actually I'm a killer main, for already 1500+ hours playing killers(of course walking ones, in another words, the one humans can loop ) , and 2200+ for total.
I dont care bout how fast I can take humans down. But I love the feelings they down from my tricks. I'm not a P2W player how.
they loop you because you are not skillful enough and have no strategy I guess.
from my own experiences, most humans cant loop even more than one circle by a pallet.
So cheer up and stop complaining
SFW Survivors with Flashlight, DS, MoM, Dead Hard, and Borrowed Time: "Legion's so annoying to go against."
Every Killer: "...Mmhmm..."
I also agree with you on those toxic perks. But its another matter beside our topic right?
maybe they will also be rework after Legion update right? Just like the Strike's rework.
I think it's good.
It's just the course why people blame Nurse and Legion.
Because they rely on there power, and with no power they can hardly knock down a person.
Thanks to it, it goes to another extream pole. ---- there's nothing can stop or delay them. the pallects cant, also the window not. humans will be down for sure.
So the game become a competition between repairing speed and killing speed
Yeah but there's 4 times more money on the survivor side
So you mean you are hardcore tunneling and camping so every ds and BT is working on you? and you still dont know the right timing for dead hard hits? poor you. git gud
pff, earlier design philosophy was more akin to "boy! USE YOUR GODDAMN POWER"
see original 3 till huntress.
legion will turn into a freddy: "tag them with your pwer, but dont use it afterwards as it will become useless once used"
Hmmm, you forgot Hag, who can make one half of the map a death trap, and keep all the gene there on lockdown.
You also forgot Spirit whose power lets her chase super fast and end chases faster than Nurse or any other killer.
They're both balanced.
I suspect devs had a serious handycap in their team, like quitters/fired devs
That's why dbd was doing that bad lately
actually Hag will only use her power to camp most of the time in fact.
As to Spirit, She's a good one, though possess a strong power.(doubt about if is stronger than the Nurse)
She can mostly be countered by the perk that lessen the voice with pain(do not know the name of it in English exactly, but you got it already
Also her power has its price however, thus is every fail will lead to another charging not like the Nurse's nonestop boring "Ahh Ahh Ahh~~" Thats why you always heard bout complaining bout the Nurse but less bout the Spirit. Cauz the more the powerful it is, the higher the cost will be, that's the right design.
Though there are still many problems with her, like no obvious symbol of her vaulting, alerm sound out of horro range other than within it.
But in general, her design frame is good and healthy, just some moderation will make her great!
ewww
CALLED IT!

Devs, is this really how you translated it?
Come on, just like someone's nick name. and I know you've already got it. Never mind it😋
I'm glad, at least, that the Devs don't bother responding to facetious drivel like this :3
