What's your opinion on the Knight?

unplayable. have played 8 games (with adept perks) and i got one 2k, three 1ks and four 0ks

edit: im dumb and wrote 3k instead of 1k

Another artist, but with a twist, ill be honest with you people just run away. Like my first match, all the survivors didn't play any loops. They just ran away right off the bat, running through everything and tossing down pallets which there were, no joke, 20+ pallets on that map. Trying to waste my time which worked, but it kinda unfun I didn't have much satisfaction downing them as well cause I was constantly worrying about the generators being worked on, and that was on a smaller side map. I don't wanna know what they will do on a larger map like red forest.

Though if you are fine playing the artist and the strategy, survivors use against you, then you will enjoy this killer, but personally, just knowing that is the counterplay kinda puts me off cause it is boring for me. I had to slug for the win at the end, and this killer has strong area defense.

You mean the Shight?

Honestly I love everything about him, except how awful and buggy he is. In theory it really is an amazing concept and huge props to BHVR for thinking outside the box, but in practice it's laughable.

He's really unfun to face. You're getting chased by two killers all the time with the only play being holding W. We really didn't needed another W-Killer tbh.

3 in 4 with one tie don't sound unplayable.

Survivors have too many tools to stop his power. It's like your playing a killer purely for the survivor's benefit. Is there any other killer in the game that has this much counterplay against their own power? Plague?

Hoping he gets a different helm cosmetic because I hate the hair. Not super fond of "Hook and then deploy a guard at the hook" being the most common use of his power. Buggy AI. Teleporting through floors seems like it'll be uh.. rough on The Game. I like his concept overall but feel like it's going to be a few patches before he's anywhere near fun.

Another killer who knows less about their power than the survivors? What a shock. Be nice if they let somebody else take the reins over at Killer Design HQ.

Complete #########

Gives way to much information to survivors how he's using his power. Can't do any real pathing or patrol routes with power just instant drop and go.

Very weak and boring.

Encourages hold W game play which is boring for everyone.

Gives too much information to survivors which in turn makes his skill cap very low. If survivors didn't see his green orb and the radius around his minions his skill cap would be so much higher.

Why is it again survivor get a speed boost and Endurance from touching the flag? Completely illogical.

Awful.

The guards (all but one I think) can't get to a survivor running away.

I've got my adept (against utter noobs) and I've put it next to Sadako in the "not to be touched again" box.

I think The Knight is really weak. The idea of him and his guards are cool. Even the idea of his perks seem also cool. But I have to say that I don’t really enjoy playing as the Knight. He get destroyed super easily.

His guards again go all over the place and bugged out. His map pressure needs some work as well. Every time I place a guard they would always walk back towards me even though the guard is supposed to attack the survivors not walk away.

I really like the look of him and again the idea of him. So again he’s just not very good. His guards are also not very good either. The guards also get stuck at certain loops and windows which is also a pain to deal with. So yeah I really hope he gets some more buffs here soon.

Contender for bottom 3 for sure.

Another thing I've noticed is that his model size gets stuck on a lot of s**t. His lunges are also prone to getting hooked on random objects because of his size.

What if we did away with the whole orb thing and made the power work in a different way? Hear me out, with my proposed change we had 4 ways to activate the power:

1) highlight a survivor in sight to summon a Guard and chase them, freeing yourself to do something else or attempt a pincer attack

2) highlight a gen or breakable object to summon a Guard and kick/break it

3) this is the big one: highlight an entire house, building or structure and have a Guard search the thing and patrol around it

4) highlight nothing and just plonk down a standart and have the guard patrol around it.

This would allow the knight to do his thing on the fly, without stopping too much and still allow for some map pressure and not just closing up the loop at hand.

His perks are mostly ok, but Hubris really needs to be buffed to at least 30s. 20s is barely enough to close to a survivor if you are running Spirit Fury and they get to a vault, without it you got no chance to use it at all besides a once in a blue moon missplay on the survivors side.

I've played him for a few hours now, he's alright. You have to play him like you're a cattle dog. You herd the survivors where you want them to go. I feel like he is addon dependent, but you don't need his iris (which are quite strong). The yellow addon that makes minions chase 4 seconds longer, and the brown addon that increases detection range are all you need, and honestly I wouldn't prefer anything else. Because chases can take a little while unless the survivor is cornered (in which case you let the minion hit first then you attack after for a VERY fast down) you need some gen regression perks for sure.
