Why can't you stun the knights summons?
I mainly ask because you can stun the hound master's dog and Nemo's zombies (killing them even) but if you drop a pallet on knight's summons they walk right through it and don't even have to go around it and get a free hit while you're in an animation. Due to him being unpopular, I have only faced 3 knights ever, but this has happened to me twice now and I can't think of a reason for it.

I mean… Stunning most killers with pallets makes no sense lore wise. We literally have three (if not more) Ghost killers, Nurse, Onryo, and Spirit. I also don't see how it would be impossible mechanically. Just make it so that the stun… stuns them. You don't need to be able to kill them like nemo zombies, but the stun should apply. That's just my opinion.

Because, my friend, the Knight is not meant to work in close proximity with his guards.
And if he is supposed to work separately from the guards, they need to be a threat, otherwise the killer has no power.

What is the counter play to the fast one? The one with the brand I think it is? Is it just vaulting? I understand if you grab the flag they go away, but I can never seem to make it anywhere without that one catching me.
I'm not saying they are OP, it just seems inconsistent to me that they are the only thing in the game immune to pallet stuns (outside of suped up Singularity), and I'm trying to figure out the counterplay.

The guard with the brand is the Jailer. He's only the second fastest, but he chases you the longest. As XtremeDBD said, the Assassin is fastest and is, in general, guaranteed a hit if you don't stall him long enough to grab the banner.
The most effective way to stall the guards is to abuse a bug in their code. The devs ultimately couldn't solve the bug, so they instead decided to rebrand it as "counterplay" for the survivors. Basically, if you run up to and touch a window, but DO NOT VAULT the window, then continue running away, the guard will be forced to run to the window, pause, then continue after you. You can use this to briefly delay them and buy you some distance to try to circle back to the banner.0 -
Ngl I wish they would fix snugs bugs and just let me head on that dog

Because if you could just drop pallet and they would have to go all the way around the guards would be even more useless than they already are. I mean seriously, the guards are so useless you can completely break them by just running towards a pallet / window and running the opposite direction.

All guards hace the same counterplay, you mess with the Ai until the hunt ends or you get the banner. If you throw a pallet while hunted near them while it does not stun them it will make them either phase through it which takes a lot of time that you can take advantage off or go around it which basically guarantees you escaped them.
However you can also use windows, when you are hunted and go near a window you will see some ghostly textures on it, go towards the window and bait it, the ghost will get baited and you can repeat this how many times you like.
You lust learn how to take away knights power, hope it helped.
