reworking knight, the most boring killer already

a weak anti loop killer that's boring to play as and against is not good for the game. He's been released for only a day and its easy to see that this killer should not have been made, in this state at least. An idea I could come up with would have been for his guards to be able to be out for way longer and serve a map control purpose. Im talking 1-2 minutes of patrol with a decently sized portion of the map. IF you still want a chase power I was thinking of a quick cast button where if you point directly to a survivor, a ghost will immediately start chasing. The guards will be faster while patrolling, and all guards will be 110% speed except for assassin which is 115%. to disincentivize using patrol in chase the cast time will be a lot longer so he can't just plop it down during a loop. This is the best I got to change him with his current power; hes just so boring on both sides and it's a massive disappointment.

    Yep, sure sounds like your half-assed idea would work better than something a group of actually smart people who understand the game worked on for months. Give it a few weeks for people to actually figure out how to pay Knight optimally before making a silly statement like that.

    The one issue that seems weird is how much info the survivors get about the patrols, but they've probably tested it with and without it and there's probably a good reason why the survivors need the info.

    this isn't a fighting game where it can take months to find the intricacies of a character. we already know how he plays. he's another killer countered by hold w which is extremely boring to play as and against. This is my main problem with the killer. its boring. They have made multiple anti-loop killers now where the chase breaks down to place *insert power* here and win because the loop is now unplayable; the survivor is left with no choice but to run away. This is not fun. I'm trying to give half assed answers because there is nothing left to discover about the killer.
