Main Event needs to be on-command

Just make it like Oni's Bloodfury. Is that really too complicated? I'm already seeing a bunch of times where a Trickster gets his Main Event after he's already downed somebody or something, and then he has to wait those few seconds before he can do anything else. I know he's still in the ptb, but seriously was this stuff not thought of beforehand? Other than that though, there's nothing wrong with his Main Event. I like that the knife movement streaks turn yellow instead of white so survivors know when he's doing the Main Event. But please let us choose when we want to activate our own ability, and not let it happen randomly without our input.

    I wonder if they think it would be too strong for someone to save Main Event for some particular situation. Like, I guess, if you hosed everyone in the basement or something? But I agree that having it go off randomly when there's no one near you seems pointless. I'd be curious to hear from the devs what the intended gameplay is -- like, are they thinking you'd only throw your knives at a moment when it's advantageous for you for Main Event to trigger?

    They're stupid if they think that Main Event in basement would be OP, yet Leatherface being able to down all 4 survivors with 1 swing of his chainsaw, while in the basement or elsewhere, is fine.

    I don't know why it's not tbh. It's supposed to be his big play but it almost always goes to waste because you can't hold it for the right situation.
