Ok, thats does it, i'm done with Trickster

As said, i'm done, Trickster cannot be played.

After spending another humiliating match chasing survivors with this ridiculous killer and not being able to down one for the entire match, i'm throwing in the towel

A while ago, i never touched Nurse because she was, to me, the weakest killer in the game. But now she's playable to me, but this loser, not at all. So i'm going to ignore Trickster and never touch it until it gets a REAL buff.

So thanks Devs for making a a complete waste of a killer and making an Aspergers guy look like a complete loser to online people. A word of advise, don't make the same mistake with the next one

    It's funny: Nurse is rated "Hard" because she's incredibly difficult to do anything with when you're new, but wildly OP when you're really good with her. Trickster is rated "Easy" because he's supposed to be simple to pick up and play, without a huge learning curve.

    Yeah the in order to win, people have to play real sweaty. Basically you got put in twice the effort compared to someone like Huntress.

    I feel you man. I was really excited to play him, was going to be one of my mains.

    But even after his qol buffs he's just sooooo weak vs any team that have 2 brain cells.

    You guys going up against rank 1 swfs every match?

    Grossly unpopular opinion it seems, but he's not garbage

    Not great, but dang it's not like it's impossible to get a 4k with him

    They said they would continue to monitor Trickster to see if anything else is required, i'd say this fits

    Not really. Look if you get good with nurse, or someone like bubba. You can take out survivors before a gen gets complete. Even vs rank one survivors, with the trickster, good luck going up against rank 1 sweats. But I mean technically you can win with any character, but this guys requires more effort than every other killer. Every match against higher ranks is down right to then end of gens. While compared to other good killers people only get 2 and maybe 3 gens done. If the killer is good vs good survivors. But with this guy chases can last for at least a good minute, or even more if the survivor is good.

    Trickster is a good killer, he's just deceptively simple and requires very good aim and timing. Just constantly throw knives at people and they go down quick enough. He's not the next Deathslinger or Nurse, but he's solid.

    I'm sorry I cant see how he is remotely good.

    If a survivor runs certain tiles he has to waste SO much time downing even if you have good aim. Shack is a perfect example of that plus jungle gyms. He also has no pressure, no snowball with his already lack luster kit and no way for area guarding. Not saying he should have all of these but he should at least have some of them.

    He has decent chase, and that's literally it. He isn't above low tier IMO.

    They honestly can't waste that much time. If you're timing things right then pretty much every instance you turn a corner and get a brief glimpse of them, your knives will be prepared and launched. Get one or two hits by throwing one or two knives, no wastage, and rinse and repeat.

    Couple that with the fact that you shouldn't ever m1 a healthy person because them speeding away is free knives and he's pretty decent. Not the strongest, but... I dunno. He's kind of like PH but with RNG based snowball potential. He has counterplay, and it wastes time, but not enough.
