At least it was the first time I got hit by it, anyone else gone against it yet? Was it disorienting to you too?

    Disorientating. Do keep in mind that Knockout got nerfed overall

    Cool, but unfortunately a bad perk got made worse.

    I got hit by it once and was like "######### is going on?! That effect is kinda cool!" then I realized it's Knockout and got sad because they turned it into another "basic-attack" perk.

    Yeah, at first I thought I wanted to run it just so everyone I played could see it... then I realized it’s a bad perk :-(

    I've been messing with Knockout on Trapper, because the darkening of the survivors screen and sounds being muffed for 16 seconds seems like it would be good for setting up a trap that the downed survivor won't know about.

    People on these forums really need to learn the difference between a nerf and a “conditional” change.

    Knockout got BUFFED.

    To keep it BALANCED, it was made conditional to activate on basic attack only. So strategise accordingly when it’s best to M1 or M2.

    “dUh I CaN’t JuSt SwItCh OfF aNd NoT tHiNk AbOuT iT” doesn’t mean nerf

    "Conditional" change that hurt the perk more than it helped, IE a nerf.

    People understand the difference between a nerf and a conditional change, you are just misunderstanding which one it was.

    Especially to go as far as to make fun of people in a mocking manner over it, not very kind.

    Why would a perk designed for a killer that has a INSTA DOWN power only work on basic attacks?

    I love using knockout with the pig. So many times I'll hit someone down and down another one and hook them with the whole team being blind and never getting the hook save. It's fun to use in my opinion especially since many survivors wouldnt expect a killer to use it since its underrated.
