After facing a total of 10 tricksters
Only 1 has 4k'd the whole team, another 8 have lost completely, and another didn't even 2k
How is he a viable killer again?
EDIT: accidentally deleted a whole sentence lol

He's not viable at all. Weakest killer in the game hands down.
Played about 15 games yesterday and about 4 today as him and I have to stop because it's just pure frustration and not at all fun.
I'm no longer playing him until he receives some well deserved buffs to make him semi tolerable to play.

I can tell, yesterday my friend showed me is recoil and I am actually astonished on, this is coming from someone who has played shooters for more than 10 years now and I can say that he doesn't need recoil
He needs a flat out tuning to him to actually make him a killer

Well, he came out yesterday, so people playing him don't have any good perk setups or any real experience with the killer. You and your teammates have 16 perks that you spent weeks/months grinding BP to unlock and have practiced playing with them.
That said, Trickster does seem bad. But it's still morning of Day 2, so let's let things calm the Eff down a bit before we all rage into these forums and...
...oh, too late?

Oh no I just want this guy to feel like an actual killer that is fun to play as and against, he literally does not seem fun to play as or fun to play against

In my last 24 hours of playing him I have only just achieved a 4k on Midwitch (And only just missed adept thanks to chaser) and that was only because they kept running in a straight line when I threw knives at them. Unless you face potatoes you're going to be bulldozed as him

He's not meant to be viable he's meant to be fun for the other side. To that effect he seems like a success? i haven't heard too many complaints.

People are comparing his strength to the current roster. To put Trickster in perspective, we need to recall pre-buff Hag and pre-rework Freddy. That's how bad Trickster is. Nothing about his kit makes sense. Gun recoil on knives that don't directly deal damage, inability to save Main Event, a cooldown after the cooldown on Main Event, often moving slower than Nurse, etc.

He's not truly fun to play against. I'm not playing to escape my trials without having been downed once because the Killer can't do anything. And it's not even like I'm a top tier player.

I've seen more than a few excellent Tricksters getting 2-4ks, so I don't think he's "weak" in any respect. Like other unique Killers, he does require adapting to his playstyle.

The Plague has been out for just over 2 years. The Trickster is worse than her in every way possible and she's considered an average Killer.
I think that's enough.

It doesn't take days or weeks to see the problems with him. He's not complicated.

I lost all hope the second I played the PTB. Not buying him, maybe down the line if I want the perks maybe. These last 2 chapters have been incredibly disappointing. Almost feels like no new content in 6 months. Blight was fantastic after feeling pretty let down by PH and finding Slinger rather dull. I'm wondering if they'll ever make anything I want to buy ever again.
Less interesting new content for me makes me play the game less, and in turn I don't want to buy new outfits and stuff. Saved a lot of money the last 6 months on this game.
I don't care if a killer is weak or strong if they're at the very least fun to play as or against. But man is Trickster dull for both sides.

Pre Rework Hag and Freddy were definetely WAY stronger than current Trickster

I've fought him 4 times 2 my teammates gave up on first hook(dunno why?) 1 was a 3E(tunneled) and one was 2E teammates let people get to 2nd hook.

The devs love to take something away when they give something good. The ds change is what this update was really about. Maybe they gave us a ######### killer as compensation because they knew in advance survivors would be pissed. Im happy with this update. Just not the killer.

Had a Trickster 4k my first match, issue is that it wasn't due to his kit, like Scott Jund said relatively:
It's based on the mechanics and perks of Killer itself.
The issue with Trickster currently is that you're wasting your time using your knives when you can m1, in that case just play Freddy or anybody else, he's newly released so people may not know how to counter him yet, all you need to do is break LOS and create distance, then he has to chase you in 110%.
