The Knight - Terrible killer behaviour

They might be trying to figure out how his Guards path/work if they're using the power around the hook. That's what I did when playing him and still let the Survivors go at the end. Whenever I used his power at a loop, the Survivor is gone and I can't figure out the direction they went because the new map looks like an endgame collapse and it's disorienting going back to the Knight's POV after placing down a Guard.

Yeah as others have said he's a badly designed killer. He's supposed to be used in a tactical manner, but so long as survivors can always see where he's placing down his power, they'll just run away, which incentivizes players to use his power to camp.

It's also rather unfortunate that if you use the knights to kick a generator, they don't even benefit from the 2.5% instant regression. It makes sense for perks to not apply, but not having the 2.5% regression is a big oversight and makes kicking generators with them pointless. Bottom line, the guy needs some massive buffs.

*dun dun dun dun* Temple of loooohoooovuuuu

Every bad killer since Deathslinger, if people don't feel confident they can win through chasing, they just camp and tunnel. It means the killer needs a buff.

I think you should try playing him, he sucks himself and his power is weak and awful

Who isn't, aside from Nurse and Blight? I'll pick 3.

Twins before their nerf weren't even that good. Not only is the transition time terrible between attacking/downing with Victor, switching back to Charlotte, picking up, then finally switching back to Victor, making it to where hooking is basically an unviable playstyle for them, but the nerf messed up some of their best add-ons and put even more cooldowns on their power. Not accounting for misses or anything, btw, which can very easily happen because Victor's hitbox is razor thin when his pounce actually would hit a survivor, but big as a truck when any little obstacle is nearby. Couple that with him being taken hostage and countered at lockers, it's just a terrible killer.

Nemesis basically only has fast pallet breaks going for him, and sometimes that doesn't even matter. Also was nerfed btw, his best add-ons. He gives survivors a sprint burst from simply infecting them with the tentacle attack, assuming you ever land it because it has a microscopic hitbox most of the time, and now they've removed drag tech so it's gonna be even harder. His zombies make Knight's AI look good, because they never do anything half the time, they sandbag you, or they get trapped in a corner. They can also be killed and blinded. Survivors are given 4 or 5 cures to his power, meaning you have to tentacle them again (free sprint burst) just so you can use his tentacle attack for anti-loop again. He's also huge and loud, meaning no stealth or mindgames around loops. Survivors can simply crouch at a loop and the tentacle attack will always miss, because of the wonky hitbox. Again, he gets called OP for breaking pallets quick, but that's all he's got.

Pinhead, yet another nerfed killer that didn't need it, had his best add-ons ruined, and had the most unique and fun strategy in the game (Hoarder/box defender) taken from him. You couldn't really defend the box in the first place a lot of the time because of BS circumstances that are constant in the match. You have to be in range, have the right angle, not miss once, not spawn the possessed chain view behind a rock or wall, and the survivor can't solve it before you can interrupt them again. Any one of those steps fails, you lose the box and all your pressure with it. They can also simply hold the box and the chain hunt will deactivate for everyone else. Teleporting to the box, rather than giving you a chance to save the chain hunt, resets it anyway, so what's the point? The chain spawns are also awful and delayed a lot of the time, so it barely affects them. Your possessed chain, even if you do manage to hit it with lightning reactions, will not guarantee a thing, because you can hit someone with it like 8 times and maybe that gets you A hit. Since the chains instantly break on obstacles, and yourself, that can totally happen. The cherry on top is that once it gets down to 2 survivors left, the chain hunt can be active but it won't spawn ANY additional chains to go after them. Massively overrated killer as well.

It's not just you. These killers are hard to play because they have nothing going for them. And then you have people like me who play on console when these killers' control schemes and precision/reaction requirements on controller, which makes it twice as hard to play them. But regardless, I don't think I can pick up a mouse and keyboard and suddenly go from getting 0ks with Nemesis to getting 4ks. These killers are bad.

Don't fool yourself that people are camping because he is weak. It is literally part of his kit to patrol everything, including hooked survivors.

I more or less agree with everyone else -- it's not that everyone just spontaneously decided to camp with the Knight because they wanted to be jerks -- the issue is that his power is designed in such a way that the main thing it's good for is camping.

The best counter I've found as survivor is just to take the aggro from the guard as soon as possible and run away. 99% of the time they won't catch you, and you can get them stuck on a rock or something.
