knock out NEEDS a buff
Knock out has been reworked for a while now, and the majority of players already knows that its not a great perk, it has been made into a perk to counter ONE thing and that is pre dropping, and as every one knows it does an atrocious job at it, so i just dont understand why bhvr decided to leave it as it is, even tho we were very clear abt it being too weak, on the ptb and even after that.
It honestly just feels like a slap on the wrist for survivors who play in this braindead/lazy way, instead of actually punishing survivors for taking the easy way out of situations.
It should incentivise survivors to use their brains to like, fake dropping a pallet or bait the killer into swinging etc, and it should punish survivors heavily for taking the easy way out, and survivors who knows how to play the game normally can just counter it by playing regularly.
Like i said its just honestly so baffling to me why they just left it the way it is, even tho bhvr keeps saying "we hear u" and its just one perk out of a dozen, like franklins which is funnily enough another bubba perk.
Im making this post especially since in this new update they made a lot more pallets spawn in game, and in a couple of my games survivors have been pre dropping quite often, it really shows how garbage of a perk it is.

They should revert it with the coming anti slugging changes. We need some slugging perks when slugging will become mostly pointless.

i wouldnt mind that but i would still like to have this effect on another perk bc it has potential

Killers have had enough buffs.

1 killer, not all of em, and she is goin to get nerferd soon anyway, and this is a perk not a killer

Perks are part of the killers set. They dont need any more improvements. They are already all super strong.

WHAT, u really think knock out is strong lol? u must me on smt xD

You're missing the point. Survivors are already struggling and sweating every match. How much more can survivor perks get gutted and killer perks buffed before killers are satisfied? (Ruin buff, killers can see hook states now so tunneling is way worse, survivor perk off the record gutted.)

Honestly, this is not a bad idea. Perks oriented around slugging when slugging at a baseline level is no longer as cancerous would be fine imo. It's only when slugging is inherently toxic that it causes slug-oriented perks to be asinine.

well im fairly certain they nerfed them bc they are going to be basekit in a future update, which is why killers got the hook counter, they are prolly still gonna make it basekit, bhvr just need time to polish em.
and btw its not just survivors struggling m1 killers are struggling and sweating too they have been for quite some time now
and u can just bring dh and ds instead of off the record they achieve the same thing
sure ruin got buffed but so what its a totem u can literally tell if it is there the moment u let go of a gen, just go cleanse it

i jsut hope they make a new perk for the current effect but buffed

Makes no sense. Slugging needs to go for the better, so noone needs new or any slugging perks at all.

I never considered slugging a problem and when they introduce the faster crawling speed + 90 second unbreakable, slugging won’t be any problem.

I agree, but sadly it is very unlikely that they return it back, so they could at least improve the current version.

5% hinder for 5 seconds has no real effect when pallets/windows tend to be 3.5 - 5 seconds apart (even if you stack it with Nothing But Misery for the extra hinder effect). The only nerf that was truly necessary for the previous version of Knock Out was putting a timer on the effect. Burying the perk the way they did feels like a pretty overt make-the-survivors-happy move.
