I play against Legion very frequently, and the things I'm most jealous of are 1) stacking threat range extension (many warlocks have a 2" threat extender, which combined with Slipstream means it's common to see a 16" threat range from an Angelius, or 14" from Scytheans, etc.) and 2) casual access to sprays, since they're so common on beasts and popular models like the Throne or Hellions (and sprays on resilient models are super useful).
These are things that make the matchup annoying (most melee threat in Cryx is about 12" or 13", and we love infantry so sprays are brutal), but they're also the things I wish I had more of in many of my lists.

Im assuming you're talking about vayl2 or abby2? They're the only ones I can think of with threat extenders.

And Kallus2, the Prince of Threat Ranges.

And Kallus2, the Prince of Threat Ranges. Thats true, I forgot about him. only if you can set things on fire. Which is more difficult than it seems as most all our stuff is crit fire. I would not say 3 casters is "many". But Vayl2 and Abby2 are common. SO I can see where the idea is coming from.

Lylyth 3 has Battle Host, as well, which is one of the best threat extenders.
Fyanna2 can't really rely on it, but on feat turn the Dodge effect makes her models have very fluid threat ranges, and sometimes it can get her the alpha strike.
I think it's no coincidence that Vayl 2, Lylyth 3, Abby 2 and Fyanna 2 are very popular, either (though of course that's because they're just quite good at other things beyond threat extension). Legion kind of needs the alpha in a lot of matchups.
