The knight is boring to play as, and boring to play against. We want chases, not just "Oh fun he's going into power let me leave this tile before pallet even had to be dropped." There's no mind games, no thought, just wait till you get pushed into a dead zone and hope the killer has biiiig swings.

BHVR just couldn't help themselves when they saw he had potential to be antiloop, so they buffed all the parts they needed to to incentivize that playstyle.

BHVR, stop making anti-loop killers. Holding W as survivor isn't fun. Watching a survivor hold W isn't fun. It's just bad game design when you make killers who take no skill to not have to engage in part of the game's core mechanics.
