Knight Guards will become almost useless once survivors learn how to play againts them.
And stop being scared of triggering them,a good swf will take aggro of the guards and leave the Knight with no power.
Not only because they are really weak and slow,but the main issue is that survivor can see the aura where a guard is patrolling.
Imagine if Nemesis zombies had a similar aura where they patrol and survivors can see it,they would be even more useless than they already are without addons.But at least Nemesis has a reliable power you can use anywhere on the map unlike the Knight that feels so slow and clunky with his power.
He has my least favorite power to use because every other killer I played,they have a power that can be used anywhere without any difficulties,but with The Knight,if you are in certain spots,it just doesn't work.
Its really frustrating when you are in a chase and need to make a quick decision,you have to move around to be in a certain spot just to use your power that wastes time and an m1 killer like him with limited mobility,cant afford to.
I am suspecting he's gonna be buffed but i'm sceptical they gonna make him be strong enough to be worth playing considering it takes a lot of effort to do good with him and in a lot of cases requires survivors to do a lot of mistakes and its just unfun for the amount of effort it takes,just to be decent.
He feels mediocre and subpar at everything he does and as much as I love his design,his power is just too underwhelming and weak at least in the current meta to make me wanna play him.
I also heard his guard summons take a half second more now,nerfing one of his most important part of its kit.
I dont think this killer is worth playing in the current state as not only he's very weak,but he's also very boring to play and unsatisfying even when you do good.

Or instead of wining about it, you should try to find a counter to their tactics.
Learn to play this killer normally (not just tapping his power at loops).
If you find him boring to play as, it's because you play him the boring way.

I bet you can just jump into the snowman for free protection. Bye bye guards!

What? They are ALREADY borderline useless. A strong SWF isn't needed to beat him, just a group of half-decent survivors who know how his power works.

Problem is his power also completely denies loops causing super stale gameplay. Literally just go from loop to loop without playing any pallet because he doesn’t let you without getting a free hit

Sorry, but I honestly disagree with the title.
It is useless without learning how to play against the Knight Guards.

Ok,tell me how you use his guards properly.
If The Knight is chasing someone,a survivor can simply take the guard chase and render the Knight as an m1 killer with no power.
If you put a stationary guard in an area,it can be easily dodged because they can see the patrol aura so please tell me the hidden tactic of how Knight is so amazing and fun with an amazing power.
The downside is you get no pallets,and it takes an awful lot of time just to get a single hit.

I do have a post with tactic and almost everything about this killer, since I was having a blast with him recent days.
Tho I have to admit, you don't seem to me like you're interested of getting better with this killer... I don't even think you're gonna read it, but I'll drop it anyway.

Good tips,it takes a lot of practice to know when and when not to use his power,but even then,it takes a long time to get a single down againts a decent survivor,and overall you cant pressure survivors enough even if you consistently hit haunts.
