Ban the knight

Am I like the only person who wants the knight to be removed from the game I mean he is a killer that is now the most op in the game. I hate going up against him and lose about 95% of the time when he is played. I mean so many times I get a ghost on me that keeps me busy running from it allowing the killer to maneuver around for a free hit or to follow up with a 2nd hit putting you into the dying in 2 secs and pallets are useless when he can just summon a ghost to break it or the ghost just going through it while the killer goes around and if you can manage to escape the ghost he hits you almost immediately after and his hit range is a joke so many time it seems like he is to far to hit but scores a hit anyways or I hit him with a pallet for it to not matter because he still hits and also he is a fast killer as well you would think he would be slower with all the armor and a giant sword .

Then on top of it all his ghost can break pallets break gens which allows him to get into chase faster and the cool down for ghost summons is a joke . He needs a serious nerf or to be taken out of the game because he just ruins it and every single one of my friends agree. The only way to win against the knight is to dc or just not play when he is the killer .

    The counter to him, like most anti-loop killers, is to just run forward. Delay down as much as possible, that's how you win.

    Yeah knight and skull merchant should be removed from the game, two killers design with the most 0 skilled play, I only tried em once and ofc felt like game was just too easy 4ks. Its sad after wesker bvhr dont know what they wanna do anymore but now new trend seem to be now make killers that does 10 + things with just simply pressing m2 lol with no effort which is what the trash can (knight) and the dull merchant(actually have a name worst than that but Ill keep it respectable and not say it lol. If am not in swf and I get those 2 killer ill just tell them please kill me asap so I can move on to another match. Anti loop killers overall is just annoying and boring yet people complain about easy to bait DH right.

    Remove Knight and Skull Merchant. Buff Freddy with their powers combined. Freddy clones and drones.

    I feel like the skull merchant is not that bad of a killer not as bad as the knight the skull merchant is manageable. Yes she can police multiple areas at one time but you can counter her drones very easily by deactivating why she’s in chase while she’s carrying another survivor while she’s far away and it takes her too long to get to you to really do anything, but I still stand by the knight being overpowered just because he move so quickly in my opinion his ghosts can perform anything he can do from vaulting , breaking pallets and busting generators, allowing him to just maneuver around for super easy hits , making it almost impossible to win in a chase against him I am not by any means a new player to the game been playing it for a very long time I can counter almost every other killer in the game, but when it comes to the knight it just seems like there’s no counter

    I for one love getting skillfully outplayed by an AI guard in this PVP game. Why would I want to dodge a hatchet or a Nurse blink when I can have an AI mindlessly follow me in a straight line while the killer cuts me off with zero mindgames or tile knowledge required?

    I feel like you think exactly like me XD I rather go against a super sweaty Nurse over a normal Knight XD

    I don't think the knight is op but I do agree that the ghosts can give him lots of free hits when it's not really warranted. At least with nemesis zombies you have to be hit twice before youre injured (assuming you aren't infected already or injured) but I also can't think of a rework for the ghosts that would benefit the game without completely nerfing knight

    The Knight is fun to play cause he can pressure more than one survivor at a time

    You can say the same for Trickster.


    Except that Knight has real map pressure

    I could say it for a lot of Killers.


    Legion, Knight, Trickster, Dull Merchant, etc etc
