healing against legion

[Jadedsoul420]

I keep reading posts from people saying to not heal against a legion...every match I have had lately, against a legion, they do the no heal strat...and every match I watch legion down them instead of feral frenzy them....the no heal strat doesnt seem to be working for us lol

Without using Frenzy, he's an M1 Killer. If people are going down to Legion without his power, they'd go down to every Killer in the game.

You don't heal against Legion because Feral Frenzy gives him easy first hits in addition to inflicting Deep Wound, meaning you effectively have to heal TWICE to get back to full health. So healing against Legion is a massive waste of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time because you're going to be injured the whole match whether you like it or not.

From there it's just looping the M1 Killer to death.

If legion runs Thanatophobia you could argue that only 1 person heals to keep the perks power in check (4 ppl injured = 20% slower gen speed). If only 3 are injured the 8% slowdown can be ignored.

if you are going down to legion then you just need to get better at looping. there isnt much more to it

[leader cocaine]

depends on a couple things
the smaller the map and if its indoors
and perks that let you heal faster in the match
if youre solo q you probably have "that guy" anyway in the team so decide in each match
im a big fan of not beeing injured
if i want that challenge i just run no mither
dont expect me to do gens with 3 anti tunnel perks tho

If you want to heal against Legion, do it. Don't listen to people who insist that the game has to be played a certain way like it's some kind of elite tournament with only one strategy.

The fact of the matter is that yes, healing against Ghostface takes time, but if you don't do it you also risk being one-shot whenever he happens to catch you. And any killer can find and catch you regardless of this way, WAY too prevalent "M1 killers are useless" mindset.

I've won matches against Legion by healing myself so that I wouldn't be downed on the way to rescuing someone, which led to a snowball of escaping. If I hadn't healed, three people (including myself) would have died. So yeah, healing against Legion is fine if you think that you should be doing it. Like I said, no one single strategy.

Unfortunately it's one of those things where playing optimally requires everyone else to be on the same page, and is punishable as soon as one or two people don't stick to the strategy or aren't aware of it. Unfortunately you're kind of priced into doing that every match, just on the off chance others go along with it, since countering Legion's power through jamming gens or running them is far and away the best way to beat them.

If you have to heal you want to do it as a group activity, never less than two healers and multiple injured people (this pretty much goes for most matches, but especially versus Deep Wound/efficiency slowdown etc).

as a legion main all I can say is healing is the second best counter to him, only behind mending instantly upon getting hit in frenzy

i healed after mending each time, legion stopped bothering with me as much since the other 3 werent healing so were the easier targets lol I also managed to loop them, and theyd leave after a few seconds

It doesn't matter if you heal or not so much (In MY OPINION)

its more about splitting up and maintaining constant pressure.

If you just simply do not heal (and I am legion) i think, "Oh you wanna' play like that? Ok well everyone's injured so it is SLUG time baby your sin is not wrath it is pride for DISRESPECTING MY STABBING"

If you waste too much time healing then I think, "Oh ok you healed again but so what you've been at 3 gens for 20 mins"

So you need to find a good balance of course. But the games I always lose as legion feel like they're the ones where I keep trying to use my power to *Snowball* but I get at best one hit on a guy to 'soften' him up.

If you guys dot all over the map suuuuper far away.... Legion has less mobility than some killers. And - his power sort of is contingent upon how many enemies are in his reach (quite literally).

So splitting up like maybe in teams of a *loose* 2 (but be mindful of discordance) is always what ♥♥♥♥♥ me up. Since it mitigates the maximum damage I can do, and it gives people the opportunity to heal safely without me stumbling into healing parties or undoing all the work

and if i do catch a team with their pants down and get 2 slugs. Well. That's a lot better than catching all 4 of you guys lolololol legion snowballs so just respect that he can get a domino effect going on and you should be ok; just don't let him get poppin' off and he has very little to start the fire to begin with if you catch my drift!

thing is: don't heal against legions spamming frenzy. heal against legions not spamming frenzy.
