I really want to like Trickster
You know I bashed the ever living hell out of trickster before he came out, but my gut always tells me how much love I have for killers that are weak or considered weak by the large majority, so I really try my best to find out how to play the killer efficiently, but I really can't find a way to even salvage what's wrong with him. Unlike most of the "lower end of the roaster" type killers a lot of people say that are weak, but are actually pretty good in the right hands. I can't see it with trickster, and unfortunately it sucks, because I love the new survivor, and I certainly love the aesthetic of this chapter.

If you have perfect knowledge of map geometry (in a randomly generated map) and the perfect ability to aim for each hand while accounting for recoil... he'll still be sub-par.
I refer to Freddy as the king of all trades, capable of doing many things better than the other killers (better slowdown than clown, better teleporting than Demo). On the opposite side of the spectrum is Trickster, the Jester of all trades (worse than every ranged killer at everything except less need for immediate accuracy, and even Plague does that better). The only thing he's kind of okay at is camping, and the others also do that better.
He genuinely cannot be defended adequately at this stage.

The problem with trickster right now is after some solid games with him. I've gotten quite a bit of 12 hook games + with him, but as I'm playing the round it's like I could've been done with this round like 7 minutes ago with huntress or deathslinger. It's extremely hard to even remotely play him consistently. It's just not possible in red ranks at least.

I already like him. He is really fun. Even with the ######### recoil and piss poor special ability I still have been enjoying him a lot.
I hope he gets buffed next hotfix. I may make him my new main.

I love everything about him except his current state
He has so much personality and great music but his power is underwhelming. Fun but underwhelming.
I do hope for some buffs as well in the future

I really like him. The personalitty just oozes from him.
It's just such a shame his power is situational and that's not something a 110% killers power should be.
I found that tapping m1 works a lot better for me then holding m1 for throwing knives.
Probably confirmation bias but i feel like it significantly reduces the spread while not really lowering the speed by that much.

I love his idea, the aesthetic, the music...
But he's just worse. In every way. Why would I play him over the lethal Huntress, the pressuring Spirit, or the game-y Pig?

Would I play him over Clown? Nope. Would I play him over DeathSlinger? Nope. Would I play him over Oni? Nope. He's so bad at pretty much everything, except for camping.

His power is so situational. I had someone argue with me today that he's actually a mid-tier killer but I wasn't using his knives enough & I was like, LOL.

I really agree with you, I LOVE the trickster, almost everything about them. The design team did an excellent job on him, his lore, perks, character, etc. But his power makes him reasonably hard to like. I love the concept they have for his power but my god it's just weak.
