If your goal was to buff Trickster, then why nerf him?

The devs decided the best course of action was to remove all the PTB buffs, but keep all the PTB nerfs. Why?? We really need an expiation for this one.

“but they removed the recoil!” Could we please stop acting like recoil was any kind of issue? It was a minor annoyance at worst. Am I happy it’s gone? Meh. It was more then manageable.

”But he’s a 115 killer now!” Yes, this is true, and all it cost was his power being completely gutted. If being 115 is all it takes to succeed, then go play Meyers, Pig, or Trapper. At least then, you’ll have a power.

”you can use main event more often!” In theory, yes. But main even still has all the same issues it did before this update. Literally nothing changed in that regard.

Terror radius increased to 32, 8 blades to injure instead of 6, 3 blades thrown per second instead of 4, both Iri add ons being nerfed to the point of being useless, main event last 5 seconds instead of 10, and the laceration meter drains sooner. And in return for all these nerfs, we get…….115% movement speed and no recoil on blades.

This isn’t a buff. This is an execution.

    Yes...What I concerned became true I guess... Hope devs buff him again as fast as they can.

  • I feel that BhVR's adjustments for survivors are generally on point, but the adjustments for killers are sloppy. Nothing has changed since the Hillbilly, which was said to have just the right strength, was made a "deep" adjustment that ruined its feel and strength.

    My biggest question is:

    Why did they give trickster a yellow and green add on that buff the combo counter? All combo does is give more points. I get every killer gets that 1 meme add on for bp but why 2, and why uncommon and rare?

    Wait, that’s what “combos” are?? Then his add ons were gutted even more than I thought!

    This is a huge nerf for trickster, devs screwed up this rework by slowing down his throw rate.

    Actually, things did change in regard to main even! It feels super lame now! While main event didn't get activated very often previously, it at least felt exciting to use because it basically turned you into a machine gun. Now it just fires a tiny bit faster than your base speed and all the excitement from it is gone.

    Being able to use it more often was not worth the price of taking all the excitement and most of the power from it.
