How hard is it to control Blight?

I have seen videos of people playing him and it looks pretty difficult to control him. He is supposedly one of the best killers in the game, which makes me want to try him, but if he is frustrating to control, I'll stick with lesser killers that are easier to control. My hand-eye coordination is poor, so my ability to adapt to difficult control is limited. He just looks a bit too fast to control easily. I am hoping that it is not as bad as it looks, and that he could be fun, but that is probably wishful thinking.

    Depends on your platform. He's far more difficult to play on console because of the limited sensitivity options.

    I play on PC, so that seems like a positive. However, his fast movement along with his need to bounce off of things, makes me think I will just be pinballing around and be unable to hit survivors. How difficult is he to control compared to other killers? I'm not good with Billy, for example.

    I play on PS4. My Blight is collecting dust.

    Thanks. Surprisingly easy to pick up sounds about my speed. :) That being the case, mastering should just be a matter of time and gaining understanding. I think I will give him a shot.

    He isn't super hard to pick up as you can take it slow with what you're using your power for and play like an m1 killer with mobility as you slowly get more confident with your power you can use it more and more.

    However, master of blight is one the hardest things in the game. People usually say nurse is the hardest killer because as a noob you will get decimated with her until your start to gain a semblance of skill at which point she quickly becomes the strongest in the game.

    Blight has less of a floor since he can fall back to regular killer tactics but true mastery of his power is MUCH harder than nurse.

    You need nurse's tracking skill

    You need belly's map knowledge/awareness

    You need hag's game sense

    And you need the mechanical precision of huntress.

    That sounds fine. I'm not looking to be a top rank player with him, over night (if ever). As long as he is playable for me early on, I'm good with it taking some time to master him. My biggest concern was that his control would need to be so precise that he would be unplayable for me. That doesn't sound like the case.

    Thanks for the info. :)
