Just a suggestion, disable strength on all knife maps. There is no way to counter it unless you have one of the random pokes that it doesnt work on. Theres no item that helps you with it, like there is for all status changing skills. And it just over all ruins the game. If your skilled enough to get close enough to use strength on a person in a gun map then you deserver the kill, but you definatly dont if you kill someone who is defenceless.
