Fixing Knight

Knight's power is extremely over-powered and needs alteration.

His power takes away any strategy or guessing games from the survivors and makes them just run straight, where the knight can easily predict and cut them off. Also, his manifestation hits just as hard (if not harder?) than the Knight himself... this is so dumb.

Fix: Change the manifestations hit. Instead of taking the survivor down a health state (and into mending status), if the manifestation hits the survivor, then the survivor is put into the Exposed status. This will make the knight's power more tolerable.

Also, if you want knight to be taken seriously, fix his running animation. His run is too funny.

    if the knight is trying to block loop then run to a different loop

    Just run different loops, just because he can cut off loops doesn't mean he needs to change, it's just a unique thing about him to go against survivors

    So he has no power against injured survivors and there is no reason to use his main strength: landing long path guard on different survivor.

    Oh no, they are exposed 40 meters away from me...

    He would be so useless.

    People should really stop with reworks making killer unplayable. I know it's not your issue and you are happy not playing against that killer, but there are players who want to play it...

    Sounds like a skill issue and not a killer issue.

    Learn this once for all: If the killer has some sort of Counterplay which is viable, then he isn't overpowered

    The only overpowered killers are Nurse, Blight and Spirit. Nurse because her counterplay isnt viable, Blight because of his stupid addons and Spirit is both of these but not so exaggerated.

    Knight isn't even viable without map of the realm, if u lose to one who isn't running this then you have a severe skill issue

    Hes not overpowered in the slightest. Bad game design does not equate to overpoweredness. He has counterplay, just looping until he starts dropping a guard and then W away. Then hes just an M1 killer dealing with pallet after pallet.
