Knight Rework
I propose that the Knight get the following rework
Starting from the beginning of the Trial, the Knights power will go on Cooldown.
When activated, the Knight will turn into one of the Guards, instead of summoning them.
The first is the Assassin, gaining +5% movement speed, Survivors hit by this form have to Mend. This form will last 24 seconds before you are put into a brief Fatigue animation and have the cooldown begin for the next Guard.
The second is the Jailor, whose form will last for 48 seconds. Survivors downed by the Jailor are automatically Caged, similar to a Tormented Survivor. The same Fatigue will then happen and the cooldown will occur.
The Final is the Carnifex, which will last for 24 seconds. Survivors become Exposed during this time. Then the cycle begins again.

what is the point on putting it on cooldown at the start of the match? i love the rework idea but dont see the point in the cooldown at the beginning

Mostly so he doesn't become Another Legion right out of the gate. The extra 5% at the start would be pretty significant with perks like Lethal Pursuer. Though i can see that in some cases it would be pointless. again, i'm just throwing this out there to see if BHVR could do the rework.

i mean to be fair blight, nurse, legion, and clown could just run to survivors with their power. you said itll last 24 seconds so by the time the knight actually gets to the survivors i think he'll already be on cooldown. itll be a situation where you can choose to use the power at the start but not have a power when you get to the survivors or wait until you get to them to use it. also i think the carnifix could also use his ability to break pallets fast

I don't envision this rework happening; it fundamentally changes everything cool about the Knight. I'm left wondering what those who have grown to love playing this Killer are supposed to do if such a drastic shift takes place. Each Killer has a specific gameplay to them to completely change a Killer at this stage is unprecedented. Lets go into the specific, what exactly is wrong with Knight in your opinion?

BHVR has also said that this is a concern when people in the past talked about reworking characters. BHVR is skeptical of making such complete redesigns unless completely necessary (i.e., SM who defined the 3-gen meta for a whole year.)
