Knight Sucks, He needs a buff
What is his power? Is it even really HIS power because to me I feel like I have very little control over it, you should be allowed to scroll through and pick the guard you want. Also his add ons also suck, every purple is useless other than the Hammer that slows down the survivor. Survivors know he mostly has hubris so you have to sit there and rely on your guards who don't overpower Shift+W, take an eternity to smash things, get stuck on environments. Also crappy bloodlust that turns on and off at random, It just feels so slow.
His design and everything cosmetic wise is amazing! His power is just designed by devs who don't play killer at high ranks because if they did they'd give him something that isn't a bunch of minuscule, not worth taking add ons.
Some of his Brown/Grey addons outdo his purple and that's pretty whack to me. Devs should really play and have a team at Iri 1 for feedback when creating killers because they don't take real survivor games, map design into account.
Every Killer (past 3) have either been too weak and frustrating to play, or too strong and frustrating to play against and then you have to wait for Half the chapter to go by for balancing..sigh

About your last paragraph, to be fair, having a balance with only the PTB is difficult. Being a bit unbalanced is OK. This one is really pitiful though. Probably one of the weakest/more boring (depending on how you play it) killers I've seen for a long time.
Heck, I have more fun with Sadako. (Which is not a whole lot to begin with)

I agree. Survivors shouldn't be able to see the green orb or patrol range, and the guard needs to almost immediately get into chase, not wait a few seconds going to where they saw someone. The banner is also a really dumb thing to give the survivors.

The banner is okay if it didn't provide endurance and haste.

Yeah that was also a point i wanted to add in, it's like they gave a strong power to him, but gave the ultimate hand hold to survivors and not much of his addons really negate that
Also yeah the endurance thing once my friend did it one game is kinda dumb too and i dont like it

So then... they can just despawn the guard?
0 -
the guards despawn themself anyway with how short the chase duration is lmao
2 -
Half the time im running survivors into the guard but most of the time it's like why did i bother because i end up having to chase them anyway
0 -
It's better to hit them anyway for that 600 deviousness points 😎
or leave the guard to chase him and you as the knight chase another survivor.
0 -
Yeah but it's like beyond easy to escape them lol ontop of getting stuck on environments and not chasing right away upon spotting someone. It just needs some tweaks

He's actually super strong. Artist without the effort.
0 -
Artist doesn't show you where it's gonna go the whole time
0 -
no thaks. he can easily camp, get stacks with MYC and Devour while camping, can easiloy spam loop shutdown without much counterplay (same as artist) and he can spam his power.
0 -
The whole time? You mean the quarter second he needs to stick it on a loop and guarantee a hit? Seeing the orb is irrelevant to his most efficient playstyle. It could be a gigantic disco ball for all it matters.

The Knight
The worst killer in the game.
- 75% of addons are complete garbage and are way too circumstantial.
- Power is WAY too time consuming. A knight player that frequently uses the power will always be watching survivors escaping.
- The AI is complete garbage. They pointlessly move towards last seen location before pursuing. They also do not not have a basic retreat and go around pathfinding script when running stationary into a object... just like the zombies.
- Green trail gives away any technique or tactic using the ability.

I play solo most of the time survivor, a knight buff would basically mean when I load into a match and see him just to accept it as a loss. Myself included most players are not pros, when I get face camped with no hope of getting off the hook cause there is basically two hits coming to whoever comes to get me down isn’t a fun thing js.
0 -
yeah the biggest mistake i think is where they made it so survivors can see the trail. whats the point then? There's no speed that can be a successful trick since the guards take a moment to chase.
0 -
yeah like literally do these people play the killer before they come on here and respond?
