An Idea for making Trick Blades Base Kit

Base Kit:

Thrown Knives Ricochet only 1 time, and deal 50% Laceration for successful hits after a Ricochet.


Trick Knives Add-on change:

Thrown Knives can now Ricochet 2 times, Laceration increased to 100% for hits after 1st ricochet, and 200% for hits after a 2nd ricochet.


I may be doing my math wrong here, but the general Idea is that base kit ricochet hits only do half the Laceration as direct hits unless you bring in the Trick Knives Add-on, which increases the damage of the knives to normal Laceration for 1st ricochet hits, and doubles the Laceration for 2nd ricochet hits. The idea behind this is that if the killer player is relying on ground ricochet shots, base kit has them doing half damage for that, while the add-on only increases this to normal damage, and in order to take advantage of getting the double damage, you have to nail survivors with a double bounce shot. This allows Trickster to have Ricocheting knives as base kit without being overpowered, and makes the add-on shine best when scoring the more skillful double ricochet hits.

What do you guys think?
