Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Hot take: Remove The Knight from DBD completely.

Before I begin my rant, let me be clear as possible. If you like the Knight good for you. Just personally sick of being found first and preceding to be immediately be targeted straight off the hook for no reason. I don't t-bag, bring items, and don't run this broken boring @$$ meta as Survivor right now. I don't try to troll the Killer and annoy them, but heal teammates when need too and do gens that's it.

Not fun to play as and at worst the most annoying one to play against. Knight players only ever manage to secure a kill is by tunneling someone. No skill and pure pain! This is coming from someone that mainly plays 50/50 on the sides. I'd rather go against old DH and DS wombo combo than another ****ING Knight!

Edit: Sorry everyone been frustrated and lashed out since every time I've played against the Knight. It's just the same repetitive and frustrating strategy, gameplay and perks. Lethal Pursuer, Floods of Rage, Surge, and/or Sloppy Butcher/Plaything with an ebony mori. Found first, quickly kited towards the Knight or dead zone. Proceeds to proxy camps like a Bubba near the hook not to trigger the self-unhook bar. Gets unhooked and immediately goes/tunnels me off the hook. Go back on hook, rinse and repeat till they can mori me.😤 It's just feels very bad. I actually like the look of the Knight, and some of the lore. Just hate the concept of multiple like Killers in a 1v4 game mode, and being punished for using or not using the resources around you. Which causes completely asinine scenarios downs for free. Finally, I just hate A.I. in this game because of the ability to take away choices, even if they are horrible ones of my own fault.

    Aaaaaand proved my point that just not the Knight is terrible but this community is horrendous at actually having any means of open communication.

    This has nothing to do with Knight.

    Your take is you want a killer deleted because... oh yeah... you completely forgot to mention ANYTHING about knight in particular you dislike. I could copy paste your exact post and plug in any other killer and it would make just as much sense. No one is going to counter argue against you because you never bothered making a point against the character.

    Understandable, just unfortunately been frustrated and lashed out since every time I played against the Knight. It's just the same repetitive and frustrating strategy, gameplay and perks. Lethal Pursuer, Floods of Rage, Surge, and/or Sloppy Butcher/Plaything with an ebony mori. Found first, quickly kited towards the Knight or dead zone. Proceeds to proxy camps like a Bubba near the hook not to trigger the self-unhook bar. Gets unhooked and immediately goes/tunnels me off the hook. Go back on hook, rinse and repeat till they can mori me.😤 Just sorry for being a bad sport. Got carried away after facing 7 different Knights back to back doing almost the exact same things is just frustrating.

    I think its more the playstyle thats the problem. You see knights do it all the time so you hate knights and expect every one of them to tunnel because they always do when u play against them. For me its wesker since his ptb ive always seen wesker players turbo tunnel right off the hooks so i naturaly hate weskers everytime i see them while everyone else thinks they are fun to play against. The other thing is it feels more personal to me when he could easily knock you down with a knife but will always go out of his way to infect you first instead of getting it over with, just so he can see where his tunnel target is later or make it easier to tunnel. Everyone seems to have their 1 killer that they dislike most either for the power or the way they seem to play everytime they are encountered. For my friend its the doctor lol

    I hate knight too but this wasn't presented very well at all. Lots of killers tunnel and proxy camp that's not a knight thing. The power however is extremely boring, either you got your time wasted running from a A.I. or you get pincered in-between a knight and a guard in a loop and there's not much you can do besides maybe w key away from the loop. It's just not that interesting to try and outplay.

    As I've stated and even apologized before it was just a meaningless frustrated rant that I unfortunately didn't handle it better.

    He can double tap you like before, his guard chase time gets 3x times faster when he is close. Looping guard is easy task, the ai is supper bad tbh thats reason why he isnt played more.

    Pretty bad take ngl, Knight is not that good anyway, people rarely play Knight anymore all you see is Kaneki and Weskers and maybe Nurse if you're high MMR, besides if you DO get tunneled it's not like you get tunneled EVERY game or so I assume 🤔
