Very Simple Trapper Buff

I really enjoy trapper and I've always liked him, I really wish we got more trap-based and territorial killers than just hag (really getting burnt out on these chase killers lol).

I've been playing him loads again and I don't think he needs some crazy buff like I've seen suggested, he feels like one of those killers that are hard to balance because his power strength can vary so wildly. This is what I think would be a fun simple buff

BUFF:

When a survivor steps into a trap, Trapper gains 10% movement speed for the duration of the survivor being trapped. This effect persists for 3 seconds after the survivor escapes.

The percentage can be tweaked, or even just made an addon, but I think it could be fun. Could really help on bigger maps and possibly make his territorial pressure even more. What do you think?

    Good idea.

    I like the idea! 10% may be a little much, but I'd definitely see the merit in a Haste effect in general. I'd probably see it more as an addon than basekit, maybe merge his (for some reason) separated Sloppy Butcher addons into one and use that leftover green slot for this effect.

    It is a good idea and Trapper do need another buff to not be among the three worst killers.

    Would also be fun with an addon giving Trapper a speed boost everytime someone disarm a trap.

    So possible permanent +10% speed increase. (Since escape chance is static you have a chance of being stuck there forever if no one comes to get you out.) HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    There's a maximum of 6 tries before you escape the trap. You're only really 'stuck' in the trap if he has honing stone.

    I think this would make a fun addon. Unsure about basekit, though he does need buffs.

    it's guaranteed on attempt #6, I believe.

    I like the idea! I don’t even think 10% is op - if it’s in chase, he’ll get you anyway whether he had Haste or not, and if he’s chasing someone else, he can either use it to get them more easily or get to you faster. It’d be the same as clown’s yellow bottle.

    Another idea I had was to take that new addon that makes traps inflict deep wound and just make it basekit (rework the addon to increase mending time or something completely different).
