The knight broken?

Just played the new map against a knight that brought the game to an impossible stand-still at 3 gens by sending out his minions to keep you off gen while not ever commiting to chase. Is this killer so poorly designed that it's basekit ability removes the entire essence of the killer experience, the balance between chase and gen defense?

  • People need to understand that 3-gen can do any Killer. If the map is small (which the new map is btw) and there is nice close 3-gens together, any Killer can hold the game for very long time. Yes, there are some killers who will be better at guarding gens (Knight, SM, Blight, Nurse, any movement or area check killer), but that doesn't make them broken just because they can control area or move fast. The problem is the core game desing, which devs are working on it right now! They said in the patch notes when buffing Deja Vu that they are looking into changing how it works now in general, which is good news. So we have to just wait and hope 3-gen will be no longer a thing in near future.

  • Worth mentioning that The Game is arguably Knight's best map, even without a gen regression build, he can dominate there.

    As a knight player i can say this is right now not really efficient to do and mostly survivors dont knowing how guards works. Like almost no one grab the flag that spawn in 5/10 seconds to kill that guard.

    If someone aggro carnifex and other surv is with knight. There are 3 gens without defense for 2 survivors for 24 seconds of carnifex chase + time to resumon.

    There are not strong 3 gen perks now so is mostly fear and lack of knowledge.

    I dont pretend to be mean but day to day there are people that still belive guards can camp a hook. :S

    Hope this somehow help🥸👍
