Hear me out: Knight is S-tier

He's the only killer in the game who can chase two survivors at once. Instead of having 3 survivors working on gens, if you use your knights to distract a survivor and get in chase with another, you are functionally putting yourself in a 3v1 scenario simply because there's the same amount of survivors working on gens as you would have chasing a survivor in a 3v1. Having only 2 survivors on gens makes a world of difference for your time management.

    But then if you chase a survivor as the Knight, you're a weak M1 killer that is easy to mindgame due to his high size. His guards are rather bad at chase and easy to distracted to avoid a hit. Survivors can also grab the flag to end a hunt sooner. Having two survivors in chase sounds good in theory but you need downs and hooks for pressure.

    • This just in. m1 killers are overpowered.
    • His guards are harmless vs verteran players and his cooldowns are disgusting long for no reason bringing him back to a 2vs1 killer with pincer play-style with more restrictions/nerfs to his kit.

    Come on, bro. You can't be serious. You think he stacks up to Nurse and Blight? The guards don't even catch people. A survivor loops 1 around a single window for like 45 seconds.

    Trapper is S tier and everyone knows it.

    Or hear me out, while you are chasing one survivor as an m1 killer, which is basically piss easy to loop. The other survivor is not throwing and goes for the banner? Making you essentially waste your own time and a guards cooldown for fun I guess?

    This is something i actually somewhat agree with you on. Probably not full S tier like nurse, but definitely very good now. The changes they made to knight make him one of the better killers in the game. He can basically stall out a match a really long time until survivors have no resources. Yeah the guards aren't going to help you catch anyone, but you don't need them to, their purpose is to waste a survivor's time running from them and go after someone else.
