Hello, I want to talk about a topic about the trickster. I am a dedicated trickster with more than 3500 hours just playing with this killer and after its changes 8 months ago it is no longer the same and both I and other main trickster brothers feel the same, we do not dislike the killer in fact we love it and want it Let him be great again. Also, we are not going to lie and say that he does not need a buff because even though I love the killer, I do not deny that he was weak. Currently, his main problems are the event, the launch speed, the movement speed when using his power and the quantity of knives to wound, . - When BHVR reduced the number of knives to 6 to wound, it reduced to 44 knives with the excuse that since fewer knives are needed to wound, it was fair but hey, they increased to 8 knives and it didn't go back to 60 knives. - increased movement speed to 4.6 but did not touch speed in throw mode - They made the event be loaded with 8 knives when what we asked was not that we had it every 5 seconds but rather that you could use it whenever you want or that the event be more useful - but hey I gain buff right?... if indeed we gain 3 buff at the cost of 8 nerf that were necessary - I want to leave my suggestions to improve it and I think that if BHVR makes any changes it should be as soon as possible because at this moment its state is regrettable - first his throwing speed starts at 3 knives per second escalating to 4 - movement speed remains at 4.6, this is something that should have been there from the beginning due to the nature of the power The main event is achieved with 12 knives but can be activated whenever you want -If you keep it at 44 knives, the laceration drops from 8 to 7 and your movement speed is not increased when you are in throwing mode. -- if you keep it at 60 knives you increase the speed in throwing mode - The laceration decay time is reduced from 15 to 12 but now if you hit a knife and it is down but not completely it will count as a full blow and not as a medium one as usually happens - their addons are garbage, they turned out bad, most of them are bad but there are 2 addons that I want to focus on iridescent addon: last acts compilation - let's be honest its effect is currently garbage since it's no use seeing auras when you use the event I think he should reload his knives completely like before but to avoid it being only used to recharge I propose that to recharge ses based on the combo system so you are forced to give at least 8 knives with the event for the addon to take effect, the solo and autograph addons must return to reduce the knives to reach 4 knives per second

    Trickster will be always kinda hard to balance I feel.

    • He either will be kinda bad/weak as of now and before where his power is bit situational and very map dependant while being very deadly in his good chases and being horrible in his not.
    • Or he will be super oppresive with no counterplay if he could easy catch up to you while trowing and low blades to injure you.

    I think memento blades should be base kit and I think they maybe lower the decay time to 10s (from 15s, nerf) but give him 7 blades to injure you instead of 8.

    He's imo definitely better now than he previously was, but he could use some small buffs
