Steps to Reproduce

1. Play as The Knight
2. Begin a guard summon
3. Attempt to Order the Guard as soon as possible

Explanation

The Knight no longer has input buffering when entering his power and attempting to have a guard perform an order like he used to a few major patches ago on Live servers. This results in the player needing to spam the M1/Order button in an attempt to get the guard to perform an action as soon as possible. This is compounding problems thanks to another bug currently affecting The Knight on Live and PTB servers, where there is no input lockout for a moment after a guard is ordered or summoned, resulting in the Killer playing often accidentally throwing a basic attack after summoning a Guard since they are often spamming M1 to destroy pallets with Carnifex as soon as possible.
