The Knight
Dear Devs,
Please give this killer some urgent attention. I was very hyped to make knight my new main, but this jank is unacceptable.
The only way to reliably win games is to play extremely lame, boring and dirty.
You cannot chase properly with this killer, you can't even use his power in fun or patrolling manners, all you can do is instant cast a static guard to block a tile.
It's not fun, and the amount of salt I get when I play the knight "properly" AKA the only way to reliably win with him, is next level.
Do something about this killer to make him fun in chase and not just a static target blocker.

Yes please but if you know bhvr you might be waiting for a year or two to see any changes.

Yeah you're right... these recent "buffs" did nothing to address his massive, janky flaws.
Hopefully they address him sooner rather than later though

I wish they would address the MYC exploit... still seeing scummy people taking full advantage of this broken crap and I am pretty shocked they did nothing to sort this in the last patch

You're complaining, rightly so, that survivors complain about your playing him in a viable way. But then you make the same criticism of him as they make. If it was as simple as, "Just set the guard down and the survivor can't loop," don't you think he'd be S tier? He even has multiple add-ons dedicated to giving him benefits from survivors successfully escaping the guards (why would you want that over the guard getting a hit?). I would at least focus on complaining about his weakness, what he can't do, not about what he can do.

I'm calling it now. In the future when we talk about Knight's balance, there will be "Knight OP" complainers who will point back to the short time he had this MYC exploit and say, "He's always been strong!" or "You want to buff the Knight?! You must want the MYC exploit to come back!"

Viable doesn't mean fun.
The playstyle of using his power to block static targets or just flat out camp not only seems an unintended playstyle, but also teaches newer killers some bad/toxic habits if I'm quite honest.
I also think he's a long way from S tier - I actually think he is a garbage character in this format. It's not as simple as just dropping a guard at a tile, it involves some mind games and correct positioning.
If you carelessly drop a guard somewhere bad on a tile, the survivor is long gone, which is seriously bad news on a killer that is already horrendous in a chase in open space.
You are right though, we should focus on his immense weaknesses, which was the point of this thread

Yes... That is the problem with .knight.
If the guards always hit, it is OP. But now that it almost always doesn't hit, it is too weak.
HOLD W to counteract all the advantages of his ability. I feel like the only place his ability actually works is in the 4 corners of the map.
But even then, you can't expect the guards to hit, so you end up having to attack with the KNIGHT himself after limiting his actions with the guards. At this point, four of the five rare add-ons are now useless.
I know he is difficult to adjust, but I really don't understand what the developers designed him to be. However, the add-on designer has merely done his job as before.

I am not going to take anyone seriously if they call a Killer top tier when clearly he is not. It's not skill issue, it's just living in dream world.
You can think he is better than avarage killer or than overyone thinks + you might be really good with that killer, sure. But no way anyone in all seriousnes can say this Killer is on the same level as Nurse, Blight, Spirit, etc. Hell no.

lol nice contradiction.

King Wolfe is a click bait merchant and is exemplary of the kind of mind numbing, skill-less playstyle that the current Knight creates.
Also, he is 100% wrong about Knight being S tier

No disrespect intended, but what this video showed was not that knights are strong, but that even knights can win against less skilled survivors. I watched all the games and to me the Survivor did not look good.
