    are you using one of the one hit knifes?
    They behave different, than normal knifes. a normal knife is instant damage. but the forceblades aktually need to touch your oponent. so it's not that that easy to hit a moving target with it- (jumping during the knife animation helps)

    Also, maybe they were spamming medkits?

    That's something that should really be put on a timer.

    Medkits don't help against knives. Knives do 500 damage minimum and ignore nanoweave. So you will die from a single knife swing even with full health, unless HA with overshields. Med kits could help in combo with resist shield.

    Did you consider not losing your head and instead focusing on making a hit?

    From what I understand it goes like this:
    Normal knives and OHK knives have the same range on screen when slashing. OHK knives are slower when quick-knifing but the same speed when holding.
    When holding, both knives have a much smaller range both in horizontal range and actual range. They also face a lot of bad hit-detection, where even non-moving targets that are perfectly in your range are impossible to hit.

    Yeah i have been testing it and it seems something is wrong with hit detection at times.Sometimes i creep behind the guy and knife him and nothing happens and sometimes i'm like face to face and nothing (thats also when i experience a lot when you swing at someone that your arm is going through a guy and you get no hit.
