Nothing is over!!

So, they might still buff him more before release. If they make his knives hit a bit harder, at least he will be a bit competitive. If they give him single ricochet, at least he will have a fun mechanic. If they get rid of Main Event, nobody will notice or care. In the event of any of these things, cool. They did a good.

However, if he releases and the current changes are all he gets, I think people will be justified in their disappointment. Yes, one can play him and learn him to death, but it's not really the players job to do something they don't find fun just so they can give super-accurate feedback. Furthermore, playing Trickster on the PTB and giving feedback clearly wasn't enough (so far). If no further changes are made to Trickster before release, then BHVR hasn't really given any real indication that ANY feedback will be taken into account. At that point, you could play him for a year, write a novel about the issues with him, get a team of scientists to describe his issues and the solutions to them, and you'd still have BHVR just sitting there in their office saying "So how can we nerf Legion today?"
