If Trapper gets buffed too much, he may become boring
I personally don't think that every killer needs to be on the same level of viable for everybody. I think the skill ceiling should be around the same place. Trapper's skill ceiling is in an OK place. Since old ruin got replaced, it is harder to reach that skill ceiling. People come into these forrums after a few easy games as survivor against trapper or not knowing much about how to play Trapper and getting stomped.
If you know what you are doing and don't over extend you territory, then Trapper is very, very viable.
(Escpecialy with better add-ons)
I think it is fun to have to risk losing something in return of going to a far place to grab a trap. I like games that make me think. Trapper does that the best out of any killer. So, having all traps spawn with you at the start of the match, for example, will only just take away from the methodical gameplay. There's no risk in a lot more things if you have everything. Not to mention the best Trapper players will be able to create a deadzone of 3-4 generators so quick it won't be fun to play against.
Just want to be clear, I like QoL changes. Trapper being able to reset a trap that's on the ground is a good thing and doesn't take away from what draws me to his playstyle one bit.

I don't think being strong and being interesting to play are mutually exclusive.

Buffing doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t need skill anymore to be used. Take Nurse for example: she’s arguably still the strongest killer out there but she also requires a lot of skill to use.
If anything, if Trapper were to be buffed again and is able to carry more traps without needing addons, there will be more options of add ons to choose from and thus less boring.

Trapper is in an abysmal spot right now, with the only power that survivors can completely take away. Fixing the things that make him an obvious relic of a different time isn't going to make him boring. It's just going to make him not be an obvious losing proposition.

Awful bait

Cause it's not bait.
Silly forehead.

i agree being able to spawn with one more trap and getting more time to disarm them like 3 seconds would be PERFECT

I personally think Trapper is the most balanced killer in the game right now. His traps give him an underrated advantage which allows him to be strategic in his chases.
All the killers are uniquely strong in their own way but Trapper has the most balanced strength because of his bear traps. Playing Trapper allows me to develop my skills and to identify better trap placements.
Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but my opinion is that playing Trapper allows you to get better at playing as killer because of how methodical his trap placements are. Again, this is my opinion and I don't expect many to agree but I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on the Trapper.

You right, it was awful because it wasn't bait.

They'd need to do some pretty major buffs to get Trapper to that point
