Trapper Is An Absolute Joke
Trapper is worse than Freddy.
Survivors just trail behind you, out of sight, disarming traps.
Meanwhile, the other survivors are on gens.
You're playing a M1 killer without a power.
You don't have a power.

He literally counters looping and infinites. You have got to be trolling. And if the survivors are disarming your traps, they are also wasting time instead of repairing gens. Not to mention that they are also alerting you to their location.

He's not fantastic but his power has its uses.

"counters looping and infinites" if they're braindead
most of the time you can literally just walk around his traps and not care about them

Now you are playing with power.

Sounds like you need help playing Trapper, would you like some advice?

Just do what I did: play some other killer, gather your BP, prestige and level up Trapper to all perks. By that time you should have a pile of the good stuff. I'm sitting on more than 30 Bloody Coils and Iridescent Stones each.
Btw, I think Trapper can be quite effective even without the strongest addons, but if you're having trouble, use them.

Hence why Whispers is one of the best perks for Trapper.

Fun fact, Doctor is even more useless

With the add-on that reopens traps he comes absolutely terrifying. Nowhere's safe.

If you’re bad at hiding traps. It’s all about placing them in clever spots.

He is by far my favourite killer but i find there are to many situations and some add ons should be on him at base to make him a good killer. His base kits is to weak and his add ons can only cover so much ground. Large maps are espicially problematic for him. You cannot set up traps and have an impact on larger maps forced to relinguish gens to trap up one side of the map.
The only place a trapper will shine is on defense and even then hag is just better at that. He needs two traps at base and his collision radius on his traps need to be fixed as they have a very small trigger area.
My advice for finding marginal success with trapper is embrace slugging and play very defensively you can't go hunting across the map espicially if that side isn't trapped. Pick a side of the map and guard all the closest gens there. Move survivours back to trapped areas.
He has his positives as it is very possible able to string together multiple downs allowing for 4 man slugs. He can lockdown troublesome zones too. Personally I find no greater joy then landing multiple trap catches however be wary of the following.
His chaser emblem is often much lower if you are successfully getting survivours in traps as no chase points is aquired. His malicious will also be lower due to his traps grabs counting as a single hit. If you lose gens on the trapped side you will have to win chases without your power. Your hunting sphere will be limited to patrolling. Any object of obssesion players or survivours who tail you will be able to disarm your traps.
Trapper is a less challenging hag and if you want a competitve trap based killer just play hag. Trapper is a killer for rank reset or late into rank reset.

-le sigh- I actually enjoy playing as the Trapper, in fact I whip him out whenever I want to (somewhat) destress. Recently (anyone who's ever been in a bit of threads with me will probably get tired of this) I've been doing a Blood Point only build with him, and 4k regularly even in Rank 1. While rank matters little now a days, I will confirm that some survivors take being toxic seriously and I still crushed them under my rubber boots.
I can see why some would think of him as weak, but if you are smart you wouldn't even need his traps. I find they help though.

Also you can go ninja build and be a stealthy m1 killer! OOOOOH! SCARY!

- Freddy is actually extremely useful if you have decent perks on him and know how to play him. People need to stop comparing bad killers to Freddy because they can't play him.
- Trapper definitely isn't the best killer but he is high mid tier. They could fix his trap hitbox because it is a bit bullshit but other than that he is pretty good. Just because you can't play him doesn't mean he is useless.

If Trapper is mid tier then he is the LOWEST of all mid tier killer. Mid tier consists of Huntress, Myers, Clown, and Wraith...all of which outclass Trapper easily.

You forgot to mention that if a Trapper traps a pallet, more often then not you can just drop the pallet then slide over it.
