Why can't legion be top tier?
Seriously, someone in the forums mentioned that at 40:40 they did not want legion to be top tier so they nerfed them, can we please change the killer meta?

Because viable killers arent fun.
Sarcasm and cynical bias aside. They probably arent able to balance live!legions kit to be not a total mess.
@Raptorrotas Atleast what they could do is increase the current numbers by .2
Because the Devs have stated they don't design killers to be viable, Horrible design choice in my opinion but it's their game. I'd love to see the the day that all killers become viable and the game finally get some variety in the high ranks, but knowing the Devs this will never happen.
Legion is also horribly designed in terms of how they want him to be played. They want legions to spread out frenzy attack to everyone at once and not focus on a single survivors, The problem here is that they made his power in a way that it's on a timer and people can counter this play style by simply spreading out so you end up a lot of the time not being able to do what they want you to and have to play him as a regular m1 killer now.
How they presented it in the stream, they want first to eliminate the boring gameplay. After that they are open for tweaking numbers. I personally think if they reduce the stun tome coming out of frenzy (manually canceling it) he becomes very strong, Hugh mobility to catch up and M1
I guess the context would be the nerf to the adjusted cooldown addons? Like with myers they now have new base values with addons for the old values... The ptb will be up for a while and i hope for every legion player that the devs will find a good solution.
But...
The devs are trapped between a rock and a hard place. Or however that metaphor goes.
The real question is: why cant any killer be top tier?When most killers just need little tweaks:
- Trapper: being able to carry all of his traps.
- Myers: Increase stalking speed.
- Pig: This EGC was gonna be a good buff to make her top tier but they nerfed her instead.
- Doctor: Bigger range on his shock + less shocks to put someone in madness 3.
The list goes on and on...
I understand that not EVERY killer could be top tier, but at least make them as strong as they could be.
Check Battlefront 2 for example.
Obi Wan in that game was freaking trash, he was like the Doctor version of that game and what did the devs do? They just increased the speed of his normal attacks and now he can keep pace with heroes like Anakin or Luke (who btw are top tier heroes).
My point is, now you can play as Obi Wan in that game because you wont be destroyed by some other experienced player, why cant we have the same here? If I want to play Clown against experienced survivors I wont stand a chance because that killer is just not good enough, when all he needs to stand a chance is make It so that his bottles have a bigger effect and duration...
