I didn't like it at first because things were different than before but I simply changed my playstyle a little and it worked out. Apparently others liked the change and started to play Legio - might also be due to the fact the best helmet is quite cheap to buy. I've had the feeling its seen as some sort of well-armored Pikeman by some players eventhou one could technically play Halb then and get some damage reduction on top.
Some years ago Winter said we had more Griffon Bascinet than we had Legio. That's 100% a factor.
It should have been made into an all heroes helm like Vals, Fearsome, etc... so the numbers would be less of a problem but it's to late now I guess.
I'm not going to go down this rabbit hole too much but other than normal heath Leg can just tank combat better than Halb atm...

The possibility to use a 1h and be able to throw (and trowing was way worse as I leveled mine) was my reason to make one. I doubt they'll take throwing away just after adding Glory and Malice into the game so I am fairly certain I am on the safe side. For small stats changes... well I guess I will work sth out if it happens.
To sum it up I chose the hero due to weapon usabilty and not due to stats in general. I wouldn't say it's based on some meta [because that changed since I started to play it] or the actual stats [vs other heroes].
I don't enjoy repeaterman so I can understand the main reasons to not like Pikeman or Sniper.
Leg will always have good throwing but never the best. If you enjoy the throwing aspect of Leg then im sure you would like Mp. If you enjoy having good armour and throwing Halb... This can go on till I suggest classes like Sentinel.
Atm, you may dismiss Mp for some good reason saying its to low on armour and the + of having ok polearms is a meh to you but my question to you would be.
At what point would you make a Halb as Its a lot closer to the idea of Leg than Mp.
Would you need Halb to have the same throwing skill as Leg?
Would Leather Overmail/Thanos Legacy need to be comparable in stats to Gothic but more weight for the 10 damage reduction?
Would you need Halb to have a special weapon to its name that, unlike anything we have atm?
Idk at some point, you would rather play Halb than Leg and this goes for any hero.
I enjoy Mara the most as playing a good "glass cannon" is just more fun to me. Knowing I could be dead in 3secs if that bot gets to me is a bigger rush than playing Jugg. Jugg does give me a rush but its more about let's see how much I can take. That rush is the fun factor and its the opposite when I play Repeaterman...
This is offset by it having some things Zwei/no other class can do. Don't get me wrong Zwei was my 1st hero and does have things Mara cant do but like I said its the fun factor for me and some people.
Arguably the hero I like the idea of the most is Sentry for the same reasons I like Mara. The reward for playing this class atm is having 2h skill thats Jugg level and not Zwei+ for having the lowest armour ingame.
Ingame the argument could be made Legio is a better 2h slasher than Sentry given... extra hp, more armour, better 2hs, more 2hs, shields!. This is not adding why leg is even a class [2nd best throwing and best 1h skill].
My Favourite class is Mara but that could change in 1 update. The same could, in theory, happen to anyone over updates.
