The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

So is anyone actually going to play trickster for a while?

I know it's too early to say this, but does anyone here actually have any plans on possibly maining trickster despite him being incredibly weak, and with no solid buffs we have yet to see yet? I plan on leveling him up for his perks, but that's about it. I just don't think he would be able to compete with any remotely decent team.

    I'll give him a real good go and if he's fun, I'll main him.

    Unless he gets bullied every game.

    I think he's going to get bullied a lot. He seems weaker than any other killer in the game and that's what's unfortunate. Considering the last 2 killers we have gotten have been A tier at least.

    I'm pretty sure some people will play trickster until they get bored or annoyed with him. Devs have said they will compare the stats with huntress and deathslinger after 2 months.

    @Topic

    I will give him a try.His power looks fun but i'm afraid of the recoil i heard it has.

    If it isn't too bad then i guess i keep playing him for a bit

    He seems fun but I have trash aim so I won’t be playing him for very long

    If he goes live as he currently is on the ptb I will just get the adept and that's it at least until buffed.

    @Sonzaishinai

    You say that now, but after a few days survivors will know exactly how to counter him. Meaning you will basically never be able to use your power, since you are always slower than survivors while using your ability or ultimate.

    Getting bullied with a 110% M1 killer and futilely trying to make it work doesnt sound fun to me.

    Lets hope he gets some good buffs since he has some potential i guess.

    With most of the weaker end killers you are at least able to make it work somewhat. I don't think you can make it work with trickster though no matter how hard you try.

    considering not everyone is a try hard who needs to up their low self esteem by "winning" in videogames, sure

    We'll see. I would like some buffs too but i do feel that people are looking a bit too much at his weak side and not at his strong side.

    Yes when you reach a long wall loop you can't do much. But vica versa if you have a low wall loop survivors are powerless.

    Honestly the community really isn't that good at seeing how good or bad killers are so i would rather see for myself how good or not he is

    I do hope that the ricochet basekit buff is still coming. I hate how they hide such a fun aspect of his power behind a purple addon. Hell i would take even a brown addon that adds one ricochet

    i will not play with that killer for sure, i won't even buy him. it's not about more powerful or something he just not interesting like twins,like all recent killers. but i will play new survivor for sure, she seems cute.

  • RoboMojo
    RoboMojo Member Posts: 1,326

    Nope, I’d rather become a Pig main then main what may be the worst killer in the game.

  • KlapzCheeks

    I will be P3ing him asap and playing him because he is fun, Im bracing for all the " GG EZZZZZZZZ" messages.

    He's a New Face so I'll Step up and main him, it'll be Crazy but I won't be Alone. I hope he'll be Fantastic Baby and a Love Scenario but he could be a Loser and Fake Love making me Sorry Sorry but I hope I'll be saying I Am the Best.

    I most likely won't bother with him. Visually he looks great but he seems really boring to play, I don't like his power at all.

    YESSSSSSSSSS, I'm getting him a skin if he has any good ones

    Same for Yun-Jin

    I'm also getting the new Felix skin

    SUPAH HYPE

    No. He will be the first killer I don't buy.

  • MadLordJack
    MadLordJack Member Posts: 8,814

    I'm going to try, because I can see him being incredibly fun if they tweak the recoil/artificial innaccuracy. I'm fine playing a weak killer if I can get in cool shots.

    i llike to trhrow ish on survivors so i will play him as im playing the huntress

    I saw a 2nd Twins yesterday since the release, she is so rare to play against I was quite confused when I heard her TR and couldn't match it to any killer at first.

    Well, it wasn't a good match for her, she tried to play fair and didn't overly slug every one that much not camped anyone to death with her bb... I mean Viktor.

    She is so flawed when not playing scummy it is sad.

    Don't really know how Trickster will fit in, he doesn't seem to have that scummy feeling besides being Legion 1.0 Lite, with a bit more counterplay due to passive laceration degradation...

    I assume he will be as rare as hag or pig, once release "hype" ends.

    I would buy the new survivor with shards. Killer's perk is not strong enough and his power is joke

  • Mew
    Mew Member Posts: 1,832

    he seems fun, so i’ll probably play him until i get bored of him

  • KiwiCoattails
    KiwiCoattails Member Posts: 566

    He’s definitely going to become one of my new mains. I already know my perks / play style. We’ll see just how ‘weak’ he is when I get my hands on him... 🙊

  • sleepy_knight
    sleepy_knight Member Posts: 117

    I'm pretty sure i'll main him for a while. Tried in ptb, seemed fun and i absolutely love some of the sound effects he comes with.

    Will i 4k? Probably not but i don't play killer for the 4k anyway so im good.

    Plans for next chapter goes blight, wraith then huntress. I can't think of a single reason to play trickster over huntress besides maybe meme's. Thats just not a good selling point for me. I can't express skill with him in any unique ways so whats the point in playing him.

  • Alice_pbg
    Alice_pbg Member Posts: 6,556

    I play on console. I'm never gonna main any ranged killer.

  • SirCracken
    SirCracken Member Posts: 1,414

    I'll likely play him every now and then when I think up a gimmick build to run with him. But I hardly think it'll be fun most of the time.

  • Moundshroud
    Moundshroud Member Posts: 4,458

    I don't actually think he is all that weak; I certainly didn't have that experience with him. However, I will not be playing him because I found him one note, and tedious. I'll spend points on him to unlock his Perks, but that is about it.

  • VolantConch1719
    VolantConch1719 Member Posts: 1,236

    I'll level him to 40 so I can get his perks, and, if I enjoy him, I'll add him to my general rotation. If I don't enjoy him, he'll go into the "only for dailies" group along with a few others. I'll still play him though.

  • LiunUK
    LiunUK Member Posts: 944

    i will get the perks and achievement and then will probably not touch him depending on how well he preforms because the changes that the devs showed us were not that interesting

    i will probably play wraith more

  • Eve13

    I will at least give it a chance. It's colorful, I like colorful - so I'll take a look at how it plays outside the PTB in the days to come. 

    As a self-confessed PIG main, I don't need an overpowered killer to have fun. Maybe he has potential to become my new number 4. 🙄

  • Bigbubbaboi

    He seems cool to me but I’m on console so I didn’t get to try him he looks fun but I am really on the fence with playing him a lot

  • ALostPuppy
    ALostPuppy Member Posts: 3,398

    I'll probably play him a little bit, but if I'm probably not gonna play him for long because I could just play Huntress or slinger instead and have a much better time. There is a fun killer there but he needs a few more buffs. He's not a complete atrocity like the Twins, all he needs is a few tweaks.

  • SMitchell8

    Strongly against the theme but he looks fun. Expecting to get rinsed. Good perks to get though.
