Passive laceration decay - why is it a thing?

Because 99% someone then 1-shotting everyone wouldn't be fun. That's why. Unlike Plague who has to rely on fountains and cleansing, the Trickster doesn't have to rely on that. Being able to 99 everyone and then just 1-shot 4k would cause so much outrage, they would never hear the end of it. It's like Iri Huntress. No one wants to face that.

They should at least not decay until out of chase. It's ridiculous that you can be in a chase with a survivor, continuously pelting them with knives, and the few that hit don't hit them fast enough to overcome the decay.

idk.... just to be sure this killer is the worst in the game

a huntress who take 7 hits to reduce a health state (same movement speed, same time to aim the first blade)

a ghostface/myers who can't stalk you a bit to down you faster later....

everything wrong

I'll answer them both at the same time. I told you the reason. 1 blade to down someone, specially a full team with 60 blades to waste would be overbearing. Yes, they could heal but if you manage to get them all to 1 hit, you could just pelt each one with 1 knife to down them after slugging someone. That's why. No one wants that. It's a really bad idea since he ignores loops. Ghost Face is affected by loops and pallets, Trickster is not so much.

Because he can't just throw a damn knife over a pallet and 1-shot you. If he did that, he should have a damn decay. Read the convo. He doesn't have a range attack.

It can be the only logic explanation. I hope they realize that the decay shouldn't exist at all with the current state of his power.

I've made a post before regarding my proposal for changes to his power, and it's related to what you have stated.

Seven doesn't matter if you keep the damage forever until you get downed with a blade. That's my issue.

If they add it and Trickster starts being oppressive, I hope you enjoy going against Him a lot. That's my last on the matter. I don't like ranged killers since Gunslinger and PH being really oppressive with the range spam. Huntress was fine but adding all these new ones is starting to get tiresome. Gunslinger already drives me up the wall with the constant reloading at a pallet and PH butt-riding you to death. Don't need another.

We go against enough Gunslingers to see how oppressive he is at certain loops. Just keeps reloading until he gets you. I refuse to keep my mouth shut when they introduce more and more range killers in a game with pallets as defense.

I would be fine with that then. I don't want to get away while injured then get nailed by a knife after 40 seconds because of self-care or trying to find someone to heal me due to lack of decay. That's all I'm saying.

Difference between him and Huntress is, when I dodge her enough times, she has to screw off to get hatchets at designated areas and that gives me time to run away and heal. Gunslinger can just butt-ride you with reloads until he gets you and if you're at a loop that doesn't have a wall and you dodge his attack, you can't make it anywhere before he M1's you. I am not trying to have Trickster do the same thing. It's already frustrating enough. Next, we'll get a killer who can throw dynamite and does AOE effect damage until you just die at a wall or a loop. I don't mind range killers but they need some weaknesses. Trickster needs his slowdowns reduced greatly since he takes a few blades to do actual damage but he shouldn't be able to butt ride you to death nor make it so you can't do anything against him.

I enjoy Huntress. I am one of the few who have NEVER complained about her except for Iri's for obvious reasons. She's balanced overall and you'll never hear me say otherwise. Give him the same treatment as Huntress, reduce the amount of knives needed by 1 or 2 and make his main power activatable whenever you want with a bit of a speed-up compared to now and he'd be alright. Giving him other stuff without fixing his main problems can make more problems if he becomes overbearing. Take time to fix what is annoying about him to play then start to buff him after you see the results. Unless you want to overbuff him and see him get nerfed and never see a general idea of his placement in the ranks. His main issues are his slowdown while winding up, while throwing and not being able to do his main event. You don't seem to realize that if he butt rides you, he can get a quick health state of damage. They do too much and people will go from wanting buffs to hating him.

Nah, I just play both sides and I speak on about what I find annoying and not fun to go against. Butt Riding is when you get close enough so they cannot go anywhere without taking a hit. In Gunslingers' case, you can butt ride someone near a normal loop. You push them close to the center and reload. By the time they run away from it, you are close enough to hit them before they can get to another loop because you can shoot them while they vault and get a window hit or they might not even get that far. You see a shooter and go, oh, he shoots and slows down while reloading. You don't realize that survivors can be herded to a corner of a loop before reloading so you have the time to catch them before they get very far. With add-ons, it makes it super easy. The longer the loop, the easier it is to reload and shoot, reload and shoot. You can shoot over objects and pull them away from it with little effort as long as you keep them there. That isn't FUN. Also, adding a range killer to a game that revolves around LOOPING and PALLETS is already bad design.

I can tell you now that I don't Blendette for no one. I escape many chases and you aren't going to fixate away from someone aiming at you at a loop in the middle of an area. I have a ton of videos of me losing killers. I even have a video of me destroying a Gunslinger who gets me in the end because he just will not relent on me. Did I have fun because I lost him multiple times in my chases and got away before he got on me once more and just shot me to put me back in the mend state? NO. It wasn't fun. Huntress, give her to me all day. Gunslinger can go somewhere.

I guess everyone should blendette the entire match. Also, you don't have to wreck your car. Someone ELSE could do that for you and you're still boned. Also, I defend camping and tunneling. It's a valid strategy and I gave reasons why instead of just screaming and hollering. I think you really should see what you just said.

Lol that way of thinking is really flawed. Someone WILL get caught and if you think pallets are not meant for defense or to prolong a chase, I'd hate to see you just run in the open without doing anything. To think, you want all survivors to never get caught, basically and never use anything but running as a way to survive. It's called, "Mindgaming" and range attacks with CROSS HAIRS ignore that aspect. This game would have tanked a long time ago if your only defense was to run and hide XD That's why Hide Or Die died so fast. Oh, I owned that game, too. Was terrible when you tried to hide with no real defense. Whoever became killer first usually slaughtered the rest before anything was done.

Do you know why they lightened Claudette's skin? It was because she was too hard to see on the dark maps. If #1 was to hide, they wouldn't have cared. No one wants a shadow in the game when its already a pain in the ass to see. If you're still hiding, all you're doing is hurting your team by giving them the brunt of the hooks without ever doing much of anything. I prefer to actually do what I can to survive when I'm actually doing the objective. I don't go out of my way to shake my ass at the killer. I get seen on a gen and I can't evade every single one at Rank 1 but I won't sit there in a bush for 2 minutes while my teammates are getting blasted because I don't want to be seen. The amount of games that I've lost due to survivors being too scared to move away from any type of bush is a ton and plenty of videos of it. Same reason people see a survivor Urban Evasion and just DC now. No one wants to deal with that. Pallets were created for distance. Use what you need or die. Also, you ignored my point. I said, Gunslinger doesn't give you a CHANCE to LEAVE a pallet without getting a hit. THAT'S my problem with him. He's oppressive. When he's on you, it's almost impossible to get him off of you. With Huntress, you make her miss enough and she leaves.
