Slugging is a playstyle no Survivor enjoys to face. Your own time gets waysted for the Killers enjoyment. Im not a fan of that.

    Knock out is weak slugging perk. It doesn't work with m2s that most good sluggers have. If a m1 killer tries too slug it is much higher risk. It isn't a very popular perk anyway. I understand if you don't like slugging but this perk is hardly a major component of truly effective slugging loadout. Infectious fright and nurses calling are much more useful for that

    Survivors can easily avoid slugging by so many perks, including boon totem that give all your team unlimited amount of times to get up, also all Bill's perks are free to get. Knock out can be perfect perk to prevent many annoying types of gameplay by survivors like insta flashlighting, toolboxes, or abusing builds for wiggle.

    I use this perk with hope that you will NOT die on the ground and your teammates will spend more time to fine you, so they will not genrushing.

    Usually this perk is a problem when no one of teammates is trying to find you and just genrushing. You know, genrush is a playstyle no Killer enjoys to face. This perk make you feel the same as killer when your team genrushing and you on the ground and can't do nothing.

    Actually, knockout provides another way to waste survivors time. There needs to be more slugging perks, or perks that activate on downing a Survivor and give power to the Killer that way. Knockout is unique in this way, and Idd rather want more.

    A faster bleed out perk would be cool.

    I think the old knockout was better where it was a timer for how long someone was hidden. This new knockout is only used to slug the whole team for 1 hook each and break the gameplay while making survivors pissed. Its original intention was to be able to knock someone down without having to worry about someone flying over to flaahlight/pallet save because they couldnt see where the survivor fell. Now its just an abuse perk.

    Knockout only exists to bully soloq survivors. It is in dire need of a rework.

    That's about the same way the killer feels when gens get blown through in minutes. You can't be fine with gen efficiency, but not fine with kill efficiency.

    You meant seconds. I still remember the match i had like 2 months ago against a trapper in which there was only 1 gen left to do at the 2 mins mark...
