Knight is NOT WEAK!

So I played 10 games +-. Maybe it's not enough to make some suggestions, but I don't care)

Knight is not weak, as lot of people say, He is just different. His power is perfect to corner survivors and making lose lose situations. For exemple: You got in chase and survivor got you in loop. You, standing in place to control survivors' exit route, place guard/ And there is a choice: survivor stays at loop and gets hit by you/guard/both, or he run out of loop and takes hit from you.

Yes, he don't have good map control (guards are not such good at this as Artist's Crows for exemple), but he nice at chases. And his look is badass so I like to play him)))

I'd like to write more, but I a little bit sleepy right now. Maybe later) See ya

    The point is not about him being weak, but boring to go against, as he creates the same loose loose situation that Artist creates where you either can reach a connected tile or you get hit/downed... And that's just bad gameplay design... But yeah sure he is also weaker than Artist and more in the middle when it comes to strenght.

    he is weak though. artist gameplay is not effective vs fast gens. you can do same thing with brutal strength perk on the corner of maps. he is super fun to 1vs1 as survivor, but is completely pointless to play as the killer himself. you get to bully the m1 killer in chase and win every game without much effort. I think this is how every survivor main would design killers powers. The power only works in very very niche situations and does nothing/misses for 90% of the match regardless for how good the killer is at using the ability.

    This is why I do not agree with Artist being 4th best killer in the game(Otz tier-list). Knight by this logic would be 5th best....

    I don't really agree with that. Yes, his power strong to catch survs but don't help much with gens. But it's where perks can help. Killers are not perfect and perk build helps make them better for specific player and his playstyle. Because for me it would be boring play "press RMB to win" killer without challenge.

    I Like a way my brother put it. “Knight feels like playing Dredge if he couldn’t teleport” sitting still isn’t a good thing for killers in general. All the Face camping bubbas and Shack Trappers shouldn’t stifle making killer powers fun to use.

    Doesn't matter if you agree or not but showmatches against comp players have shown good results on artist... So I don't really think there is much to disagree with... Artist is one of the best Killers in the game...

    How is he fun to vs as survivor? Alle he does is put his guard down at a loop and either you reach another one or you just get hit? There is no chase interaction where you can use to skill as survivor to get out on top? The power works on basically every loop, put it down and sandwich the survivor and if he can't find another loop he just dies.

    And no Knight is not the 5th best by that logic... The Artist can pressure gens across the map with birds and force survivors to let go of the gen or get hit otherwise, while making their way over there, and can get hits through structures ... That's a big difference...

    This is some next level of BS, you can place a guard to patrol on a Loop, but the moment you does any smart survivors will instantly run to the next loop. and it takes forever to recharge the guard and they disappear so fast. no u wont get a Hit. there's delay when you place guard and you lose bloodlust.

    all survivors I versed none of them stay in the area with the guard when I place it on the loop, they run straight to the next and by the time I'm there there's a pellet for him and he's already safe

    go and record some of ur gameplay for us to see cuz it sounds like ur in really low mmr

    That's the whole point... but what if there is no loop they can reach in time? Then they get hit... And that's exactly what I said before dude...

    There is always loop ahead, unless your on the the forest but u still have t walls and sections that u can vault through. new map especially have billion of pellets, record ur gameplay and post why its op first. i can guarantee the survivors OP faced were absolute trash

    I didn't say it is op... Where do you even get that... I only said it is boring to go against because you don't really have chase interaction but only leave the loop and try to get to some other loop and when you cannot reach another loop because you are either in a dead zone, took bad pathing or the pallet has been broken already you get hit...
