What if Knight worked as a target based killer instead of forming a patrol route?

Hi! Hope everyone is doing fine.


I've been playing knight for a bit and, althought i've really like the idea of this killer, the change between patrol and normal mode make the gameplay kinda boring.

So, instead of changing for a patrol route mode (knight crouching and sending the green orb), what if the killer had a target system to send the guards?

For example: You hold the power button, everything that can be a target for the guards (survivors/generators/pallets/breakable walls) get a green highlight around, as long it is in the range for sending the patrol. When you press m1 (or release the power button) the Knight automatically sends the guard towards the target you are aiming (the one closer to the center of screen), drawing a patrol route towards it, and possibly starting the chase/kicking gen/breaking the pallet.

I think this would make the knight gameplay more interactive than its already is and solve one of the biggest issue that the knight has right now, that is the slow gameplay.

    his patrol routes are target based. you control where patrol route is going. One of his skill-caps that knight has is how he places his guards to activate the chase against the survivor. I think that part is an ok spot. main issue with current knight and sending long range patrols is that his guards by themselves are too easy to 1vs1. they do not get injure hits so he has no injure pressure and as result, no game pressure for successfully using his power. The survivor need to play really badly to get hit by his guards currently.

    I wish his guards were 5% faster when a patrol path is 10 meters or greater. it would give him more map presence.

    Target mode only makes sense for his order action. His order action is clunky to use. It would be easier if you just look at pallet or look at generator in 20 meter distance and press Ctrl to apply gen kick or a pallet break. If an order action is applied, the power goes on cooldown like it does currently.

    With these two changes, he would be in perfect spot in my opinion.
