What do you think about the trickster changes? All changes below

So, I've read the changes and all the replies here. I'm afraid I have TWO unpopular opinions, so I won't make the DEV happy or most of you. It goes as follows:

1. I'm not enthusiastic about the Trickster. I think he is boring, one-dimensional and encourages one type of play.
2. I don't think he is near as weak as the rest of you do. I played him and didn't have that experience.

A lot of it depends on mindset, i.e. how you approached playing with him. Most people threw a lot of knives, and I mean a LOT of knives and only used the baseball bat as a second choice. I found this application underwhelming too. However, when I swapped the order, i.e. making my first attack with the baseball bat and then ran down the now injured Survivor with knives, the Trickster became a lot more potent.

By in large his knives do one thing well; they make looping him impossible. He is perfectly happy to follow you around any terrain (which might normally be safe) and bleed the Survivor out. In fact, most classic loops end in one third the time (often half) if you do a basic melee attack and then switch over to the blades. Play him like a classic M1 Killer and land that first hit. The Survivor takes off with the speed boost granted by the injury and then you launch after them and immediately start chucking blades. This totally overcomes the distance between you and the target, and starts wearing them down. It only takes eight hits.

I know this is kind of boring way to approach it but the Trickster is, by in large, boring. That doesn't mean he isn't effective, nor is he going to be anywhere NEAR the bottom of the barrel. People will quickly unlock all his Perks and start playing him with their own favorite other Perks, like say Play With Your Food (which I found devastating on him). I don't like being negative, nor in this case a double negative, but I suspect some of the concern about his ability to down Survivors has more to do with "how" people were playing him rather than who they COULD have been playing him. I can only speak for my own experiences, but I did not find him to be weak in the slightest.

I do not think this going to be used as an exhaustion perk. It will be more like balance landing. Survivors might opt to run Smack down+Dead hard now. More hold W gameplay. Thrilling. I am not complaining, they improved killer perks. I'm surprised they finally released a decent killer perk after so many disappointing patches. I can't wait to play Distressing+Starstruck with calm add-on doctor. Sounds super fun. I wonder what new clickbait title from content creator is going to be: GLOBAL expose doc?
