    The biggest problem is the core design. It just doesn't work. I think he needs a full rework. Ditch the AI concept. There are two outcomes when the power is AI in a PVP game:

    1. The power is weak and uninteractive. It might still be viable in DbD if you play the worst possible playstyle (hard area control), but players will still find it boring and unfun for the most part. We have years of historical precedent for this in DbD with Hag and Twins. We didn't need a 3rd area control killer to tell us what we already know about player likes and dislikes.

    2. The power is strong and uninteractive. In this case, you end up with what would be the most hated killer in DbD outside of Nurse. Nothing feels worse in a PVP game than being "outplayed" by an AI IMO. Especially when all the opposing player has to do is set the AI down.

    Rework the Knight. Give him a power that takes actual skill to use. Give that power counterplay other than "run to the next tile or stay at the tile for an automatic hit". Stop with these zero interaction killer designs.
