The Dreadknight needs a serious nerf.

[Robot Enjoyer]

Seriously, it's ludicrous. No demonic ability should be able to shred the slayer from max health to zero in one go. Trying to go up against a beserked dreadknight is suicide, which is utterly insane from a balance perspective. I've been in numerous games both as demon and slayer where the dreadknight won singlehandedly when being used by someone completely new to the game.

I'm not perfect, far from it. but the fact that a single subpar player can get an effortless win by just waiting thirty seconds then mashing w+m1 is utter garbage. It's gotten to the point where people will leave games if someone else picks dreadknight. He needs a big nerf, asap. until then battle mode is practically unplayable for anyone but the literal god tier slayers.

Yeah, my choice would be to really adjust his lock on or change how his melee works entirely. Two options:

Reduce lock-on distance/range for melee while Berserk

OR

Make Melee have a fixed range and no lock on but make it easier to hit. This means having to track and aim at the slayer yourself.

This may or may not be related to your complaint, but in the patch notes on SlayersClub:
"Note: We are aware of a bug that is causing the Dread Knight’s Swipe attack to deal more damage than it should when he is the only demon alive. We are investigating a fix"

Probably not. I think what may be the most noticeable issue is that you can be flying across the map as a Slayer and the Dreadknight can stick to you like glue while Berserk.

Yea Berserk is kind of insane. I can go from full health to dead if I make the SLIGHTEST lapse in positioning, its completely busted right now. And the main strategy I've seen whenever a dread knight is in play is just... hide until berserk is up

asking for demon nerfs is a total joke when any slayer who can quick swap (spamming Q and Left Click) can just 1 shot any demon in under a second. Berserk is one of the ONLY handful of offensive abilities in this mode that actually work. side note that whoever designed these square-aoe abilities is a lazy and uninspired dev. they dont make any sense and do next to nothing in a game designed around constant movement. player demon auto attacks do no damage except a little tickle. summoned demon AI is completely braindead, etc etc. i could go on and on about slayer advantage here. instead of crying about one abilities than finally does any damage at all, simply learn to quick-swap-one-shot when Berzerk is on cooldown.

his berserker rage is broken. He just faster then Slayer. Deling insane dmg. Have insane armor. and using insane atack speed.
he is just legit broken. His armor can handle any way of weapon swap atacks. He just broken. Rly broken

Yeah when he is on cooldown sure.

Here is the problem though: this mode is being balanced for the best players on both sides. People that just wanna play Doom with their buds get really turned off by this kind of stuff. While some of us are really good, many really do not want to sweat every time we want to play multiplayer. Dreadknight Berserk is clearly catered to the type of Slayer that never misses any shots and completely crushes enemies. But dreadknight is actually kind of bad here too because all good slayers will kill the dreadknight (most of the time) before they get Berserk.

It feels kind of like a reward for being really good by getting a quick and easy kill (take teleport at start, murk Dreadknight, kill other, rinse and repeat). But Slayers trying to learn to mode are gonna HATE this guy because they feel helpless. Heck, I am definitely not the worst slayer but when I Ballista boost across celestial going mach 7 the Dreadknight should not be able to auto lock and melee me in the air while I am flying and stop my path.

They really need to rethink how they balance this stuff because not every body is the type of person that join Spicy Demons and sweats night and day.

This is pretty good way of putting him, I've played him and well if they're good berserk doesn't much since have time it doesn't charge but, if they even sorta new the other demon can go afk and you still kill the slayer easily in one berserk.

All you do is just charge the DK through teleport on round start, 30 seconds of him being useless is more than enough....

Quickswitch still destroys demons with barely any effort.
