Is The Trickster a good killer
I’m a Trickster main and I think he’s really good, but people really hate him and idk why. Any mind helping me and do you think he’s a good or bad killer any why?

No he isn't good.

He’s about average imo. Great 1v1 but can’t pressure very well

Why?

He's meh in terms of strength.
However, his power design is horrible. He's not fun to play as or against.

I played many games as Trickster, and I am completely frustrated and done with him.
I think he is very weak against good survivors. You can't really use your blades, because good survivors will know how to break line of sight. Also throwing slows you down, so even if you manage to do some shots, you will need to catch up again. Or often you need to take many risky shots and the result is that one more blade is needed,but you just run out of them.
Map pressure is bad, because he is slow and survivors are not afraid of him, because they know he is weak. So they will finish gens in front of you, just to lose your pop goes the weasel.
Summary: very weak killer in 1v1 and also in map pressure.
Why am I doing this to myself? Can I delete somehow DLCs that I already bought? I just don't want to do the mistake of playing him again.

He is a 110 ranges killer who is worse than all the other 110 ranged killers. Just play hunters or slinger, they do his job better in every way.

And also survivor body blocking works very well against trickster, because another survivor can go and take the blades, and unless survivor reaches the max laceration there is actually no negative effect for the survivor from the blades.

No. He has every weakness that Slinger has, plus some extras (has to drop chase to reload, 40m lullaby, recoil) with a fraction of Slinger's chase power. He doesn't get guaranteed injuries like Slinger, he doesn't have deep wound to stall like Slinger, he can't switch targets in the slightest, and he requires direct line of sight for extended periods.
He's squarely middle of C tier. He's good at camping and if people are in deadzones, but at that point he's just a 4.4m/s Bubba that needs to reload his chainsaw at lockers.

He's alright... personally i find him very frustrating to play. But he can be good. If you like playing him then don't worry about it.

I find him pretty awful. Most maps have plenty of loops that block LoS which basically makes using his power impossible. And so now you're a 110% m1 killer, which essentially means 3 gens get done before you even get your first down.
If you happen to find someone out in the open his knives work great, but good players will never let that happen. I'm not sure if slight number tweaks can save this killer. The only things I can think of are more radical:
1) Make him move at 4.6 m/s (and make his terror radius 32m).
2) Make him move at 4 m/s while his knives are out; make him take out and put away his knives faster.
3) Increase the number of knives to injure to 7.
4) Remove laceration decay. Survivors now must perform a "Remove Knives" action to decrease their laceration meter, at a rate of 1s per knife. Teammates can remove knives from other teammates at a slightly faster rate (0.4s per knife). Getting hooked also resets a survivor's laceration meter.
5) All knives must be removed before a survivor can heal/mend themselves or be healed/mended by a teammate. (Mending would work the same way, as the mending timer is 20s, and a survivor would have to spend at most 6s removing their knives.)
6) Hitting a survivor with a basic attack no longer decreases a survivor's laceration meter.
7) Remove his lullaby
Even with all of these changes his power would still be ass on LoS-blocking tiles, but at least this way he'd get some kind of reward for hitting a handful of knives in the form of a little game slowdown, and be able to fall back on standard 4.6 killer gameplay at LoS-blocking tiles.

He has a major weakness in indoor maps, walls and furniture/objects is his main enemy.
With his slower running speed he moves between generators and his threat is only dangerous when he gets close enough to spam knives at you which can be remedied by vaulting windows early for the wall protection.
His main strength is being very deadly in long corridors and hallways, he's also a great camper with Main Event but that's up to how douchey you wanna be as Trickster.

He is decent but very counterable in some maps
