I'm just curious why play trickster when iri head huntress exists?

1 hit vs 16 hits.

trickter's slow speed doesn't justify his weak baby knives unlike huntress and her big meaty hatchet

    Why play any other ranged killer when the huntress exists?

    It's boring when survivors give up on hook or disconnect because of iri head.

    No she doesn't. She's already one of the top killers in the game without iri head.

    By that logic, solo Q needs DS. Should DS go back to normal even though it was too much in SWF, because it was fine in solo? No.

    I mean, Plague doesn't need to reload, her power can act as a tracking tool, and she doesn't need precise aim to have success.

    Deathslinger is a stealthy Killer that also has a ranged attack. That ranged attack also acts as an M1, so, unlike Huntress, he can benefit from perks that boost M1s. His power also offers less counterplay than Huntress' (he has no windup) at the cost of him not being able to use it at great distances.

    They're not better or worse Huntress clones. Though they may share similarities with the original Ranged Killer, they each have their unique characteristics with unique advantages and disadvantages.

    Which leads into the big issue with Trickster.

    He doesn't.

    Deathslinger can shoot through the same gaps his knives fit through. Plague can vomit over the same short loops he's strong at. And Huntress just needs to land one distance hit to down or injure, not 8.

    Trickster has nothing special about him beyond his character design and voice acting.
