Unpopular opinion: Knight is pretty fun
I enjoy playing Knight, even tho he is not one of the best killers, he is not one of the weakest. I love the fact that you can be in a chase and one of your guards to be in another chase across the map. There are a few problems tho. If I play against him it is not that fun anymore and I think things can change. What I don't like about facing Knight is that when you are chased by a guard you just need to hold W which isn't that fun. An idea I have is the killer to not be able to hit the survivors when they are in a chase and have a button that stops that guard from chasing. To stop camping gens the guards could be able to not detect survivors that work on gens. Another thing that seems like it would be cool is that if a survivor is in a chase with a guard you can spawn another guard to be in chase with someone else. And if somehow what I said here would be added in the near future I would also add so that the guard's chases last more and regress gens when in chase near them. I wanna hear other opinions about these changes, are they too much?

I was all in for joining some positive energy for Knight... Until I started reading that you want to heavy nerf him. Oh well...

You know what failed me the most with Knight?
Guards inability to phase through everything, they'll just get stuck on random things.
Also, it would be great to have iridescent addons that gives the ability to place a guard that wanders randomly and one more that makes the guard permanent until stunned with a pallet or blinded or banner grabbed.

I don’t think Knight is deserving of fat nerfs. I like your ideas but there will need to be some buffs to compensate so he doesn’t become complete trash tier.

The skill floor to play knight is very low.

I also like Knight, but he’s hurt pretty hard by the Sprint Burst/Lithe meta so I haven’t been enjoying him as much lately.
And the fact that guards sometimes walk through pallets and other times they decide to walk all the way around the loop, only to ignore the survivor right next to them because they HAVE to reach the other side of the pallet before they can begin chasing the survivor again.

Love playing Knight. I think the core of why I enjoy him so much is the feeling of multitasking with the guards. Breaking pallets midchase. Pincer moves. Zoning survivors into the corners of the map.
Once I got down some of the do’s and don’ts of the Knight he felt incredibly fun to play.
Mostly I just hear that he’s unfun to play against. His Deep Rift skin is really sick, too. Even before his buffs his aesthetic was great.

Fun to play as? Sure, yes, I think he is.
Fun to play against? Nope, not even close.

Knight is one of my favorite killers to play. Being able to exert pressure on multiple survivors at once is fun for me. Doubling up on one survivor is also fun. Sending a guy running across the whole map to get away from the Carnifex while I chase his friends around is a good time. I'm not that good with him, but catching a survivor with a guard is always satisfying.

He's not bad to play. It's facing him that sucks.

I don’t find him too fun personally but absolutely loathe fighting him
He’s a cold addition regardless though

Is love Knight.
But rather i would prefer base map of the realm.
Real Iri addons.
And more smooth summoning.
With those 3 i would be very very happy.
Cross my fingers at least for base map of the realm.

Knight is fine as he is Killer arent meant to be Fun to play against for Survivors Gen Rushing isnt Fun for Killer so we should nerf it ?
Its Funny that ppl Really think that Killers are here for the Survivors Fun and should make für Game Fun for Survivors

I don't get why killer mains think most of the survivor players would have a problem with that.

Compared to others, I don't actually mind playing against Knight (especially when he is just an occasional encounter). Facing him is a unique experience and now that the ability to three gen is weaker, not nearly as big a problem.
Also, skull merchant is so much worse that he looks better by comparison.

I would love to feel the same when facing knight, not just when I am playing him. I don't think survivors would genrush the same if the killer is a fun one, especially if different survivors could be in chase with a guard each, there won't be time for genrushing anymore
