Please Adjust The Knockout Change.

The PTB discussion section is down so I'm going to do it here instead.

First of all, please return the effect that slows survivor crawl speed initially when downed. This aspect of the perk is extremely helpful at preventing survivors from crawling under a pallet/into the open during the hit recovery animation which significantly reduces the chance of a pallet save/flashlight save. It's something small but it is the only perk that is useful to prevent pallet saves and atleast with this effect, the name will make sense.

Next up we have the actual effect, it just sucks for most killers. Knockout in it's live state benefits basic attack killers (the weaker killers) more than special attack killers since it activates only on a basic attack.

I say this because the time which a survivor is hindered is not enough to prevent them from getting to another pallet in every scenario I tried in the PTB while using basic attack killers. If you break the pallet they still make it to another pallet or window and if you go around the pallet they still make it. This means the one thing it's meant to prevent (shift W) it fails at.

In it's current state, the only killers that will benefit from this effect are ones who can close the gap if survivors just shift W from the pallet. Such as Chucky with slice and dice + scamper, Blight with rushes, Nurse with blinks, Wesker with dashes etc.

It's yet another perk that was useful on weaker killers being nerfed and even worse it's being made useless on those killers and made better for the killers that don't need the help and quite frankly I think that's just terrible all around. First STBFL, then sloppy butcher and now knockout are getting nerfed. Can the effect please be one that actually benefits the weaker killers rather than one that makes already strong killers even stronger and please return the old effect of the crawl speed so it can be useful to prevent pallet saves.
