why did they nerf trickster?
they said he was underpowered, they promised the following
1: faster throw speed - throw speed slower by a very noticeable margin
2: more hits to counter faster throws for health state - delivered but considering the reason for this being the opposite of what was promised maybe it shouldn't have.
3: recoil elimination - delivered
4: Main Event rework, faster to trigger lasts half as long - delivered but the throw speed is also reduced from pre-rework
So, that's 2 improvements and 2 hits, dies it even out? No. Main event aside from being shorter and easier to trigger suffers from the fact that around a lot of places where main event was useful before to create suppressive fire conditions it just doesn't last long enough to and the slower than before throw rate of ME means that where it should be useful it ends up being near useless because they get hit once then back behind cover. you have to catch them in the open for it to be useful often hitting only twice as survivors vault a pallet then proceed to duck behind the tall end where hitting just above their head doesn't work where activation was done to try to force them to not vault said pallet. Still have the issue where survivors can run point blank and exploit lag zips to avoid hits. at medium or long range the throw rate is slow enough that the lack of spread means nothing as I have been able to dodge knives after they are thrown and change direction again because they move slowly enough and are thrown slowly enough that there is nothing they can do against me. I kept hearing all the big talk about how OP he was going to be then I took this long to finally have a match against him and he sucks.

btw after roflestomping him I played him a few times to see if I was just against a bad one. this was before making the post. if he was underpowered before and you fail at buffing him making him weaker there should be a reversion to the old version while the changes are adjusted.

ph forgot to mention 115 speed instead of 110 so 3 improvements with one of them being also a nerf

They panicked because it was too much at once. I can only hope that they increase the throw rate again. Mainly because I like tossing 8 blades to get that funny supreme combo laugh.
