Knight in shining armor?

I see a bunch of dislike for him. I have played a few matches and have gotten maybe 5/5 kills at least 2 or 3 as well. Why do some peeps not like him? Its funny when I see a guard knock somebody down. Kinda like when a zombie knocks down someone lol.

    Apparently when survivors know how to play against him he's pretty weak. If the Knight starts summoning a guard the survivor can just hold W to another tile, and the guards in general are slow and easily outran.

    I see. I did have some matches yesterday where some did just that. Im sure over time it will become extremely challenging.

    How often do you actually see the guards knock someone down? I see it perhaps once or twice per match. The rest of the time survivors just outrun the guards.

    Yesterday I think every match I had honestly. I mean not every single survivor of course but every match about two.

    Thats still not much. Hes a m1 killer when his guards almost never down someone.

    Because he's a killer whose main strength is camping.

    He sucks at everything else for now.

    I want his patrols to be strong to add to the excitement of dodging multiple enemies kind of like that feeling when Ghostface was added. Unfortunately he's bad at creating patrols and good at dropping his guards at tiles to push people. Should be the opposite way around to be honest.

    More than "dislike", weak, very cool cocenpt and game style, but a lot of stuff that dont feel nice. Like:

    -Cant see when phantom form.

    -Survivors can see phantom orb.

    -Also the trail of the orb.

    -Also de radious of the guards.

    -Banner = borrowed time

    -You need a few meters in front of you to use power. That can be annoying to use fast or indoor map.

    -Guards can be easily outruned.

    -Cant use power in chase.(i mean, you "can" but its not woth)

    -Can be blind when summoning the orb.

    Etc... its ok to have counterplay but holly xit let other killers also have counterplay, you dont need to have it all.

    At least, addons are good, i dont think knight have trash addons and with some changes can be an ok killer.

    I think like most of the abilities you can't just spam them. I usually use them in chase and aim for the left or right, and then go the opposite way and try to run someone into the guard. I can usually down them by letting the ghost hit and me right after.
