    Good concepts, but Minion AI and his add-ons are sucks

    His a decent killer but gets a lot of hatred due his ability to 3-gen.

    And it's a shame that his common and uncommon add-ons are the best.

    I find him pretty fun to play but his guard AI is garbage and outright broken in many situations like windows and pallet-drops. His addons are also like 80% garbage.

    That said I still generally find him fun to play as and... not terrible to play against.

    I think if they gave him an addon pass so more of them were actually interesting and usable, and if they touched up his guards so they worked properly, he'd be really good.

    Also more survivors still need to learn that if a guard is camping a hook, you can just aggro it and the second you start the unhook the hunt ends.

    lame

    left/right on a pallet until you get your power, use it to hit survivor/force to another loop

    repeat

    I don't like that he can just drop guards on a hooked survivor as most solo q people don't know they can touch the hook and despawn the guard

    Extremely addon dependent killer who has almost zero skill expression whatsoever and should be reworked. Pressing a button to immediately shut down a loop with no further input, prediction, or skill from the killer should not ever be a thing. But his power also feels terrible to use without Map of the Realm and Call to Arms (but especially MotR).

    Only reason he’s more tolerable to face than Skull Merchant is because he’s not as strong overall.

    Not bad as pre-rework chess merchant, but still god awful dreadful to verse.

    The ones I versed only played just to 3-gen, spamming his ai to gain free pressure with no restrictions, and solo queue teammates downed in like 20 seconds and immediately Dc’s.

    I’m hating him more and more recently.

    Never understood the hatred of going against him after the end of Overbrine. I wouldn't want to play him constantly, but he's fun to match against.

    Playing as him I find to be really enjoyable.

    Fun killer and a welcome break from the constant brain dead "go fast" killers we always get.

    Brilliant aesthetic, the green aura for his power is really nice too. His audio work is excellent, his footsteps sound really nice and gets me in the hunting mood I find. I really like his terror radius music also. His power although fun and challenging, it's buggy as hell and really needs refining. He stomps lower skilled players but decent players can give him the run around. 2 of his 3 guards are pretty hopeless, with Assassin being the best one. Addons need work as his best ones are brown and yellow, with the brown very frequently suggested as being basekit.

    Think the hatred he gets is completely unjustified. A lot of Knights play an offensive game and go after survivors instead of 3 genning.

    A very relaxing killer to play as IMO, but perhaps has one of the most unengaging chases on the survivor's end for various reasons stated in this thread making him incredibly boring to verse.

    As a killer he's ok. Can be fun to play as and against but most we see tend to just try and camp a 3 gen from the start (around 3 outa 5ish) so our opinions are abit sour on him and his crew.

    I agree with you in most of parts. TBH, i think only Jailer is a problem (so only 1 of his guards are "hopeless"). I really understand the concept of Jailer for scouting and patrolling, but the match goes so fast that we don't have time to this. Carnifex and Assassin are quite good, in their own ways (Carnifex locks a person 28s in a chase; Assassin can harm a survivor by himself if the survivor is careless). Jailer can often find people, even when they go to the corner of the maps, but the problem is that DBD is not around finding people, but chasing and actually downing people.

    I've made a topic on what i think should change for the Knight:

    About the hate it gets, i think its kinda of underserved, since the problem was Knight alone, but the Old Eruption + Gen Kick Meta.

    My favourite killer but only feels fun when using Map of the Realm so Guard’s actually are able to detect survivors and Call to Arms so the power can be used for scouting/aggressively and not just ‘drop at pallet’.
