Oh boy, the most recent kller in the game, and the weakest too.

So, opinions on plague 2.0?

    I know he is weak right now but he’s honestly really annoying to fight against. When I dodge a couple of knives I don’t fell like a played well like against slinger or huntress I feel like “Great another 45 to go”

    Just not a great addition imo

    Throwing knives is fun....he's so slow and his power sucks so much that throwing knives about 90% of the time is just a bad idea, and it's never a good idea to main event ever.

    I also don't think the upcoming buffs are enough; especially with main event. At best they will bring him from the worst ever, to like....pre buff wraith/clown at best.

    Still I find him more fun to play than huntress or deathslinger; but boring to play against because even if he ever becomes decent it's just getting out of a BRRRRRT attack which is never any fun.

    They had some ideas with bounce knives, knives that shatter on impact, and other cool things in his addons....they should have made and balanced a killer around all those cool mechanical ideas...but it's too late, that will never happen now. BHVR doesn't make changes that large.

    His main problem is that he lacks something unique about him.

    Even after the buffs, things he does, other killers do better even when he'll be much closer to them. Luckily he'll be much more fun with the removal of slowdowns and recoil so even if they don't give him something special in the end he'll be at least fun to play.

    They should add something unique to him like making the ricochet knifes baseline or making main event actually strong and usable whenever. Something that's besides the baseline knife throwing.

    Making main event good would be ideal as even with the buffs, I doubt it will be able to do anything about looping high rock and you still won't be able to use it with any consistency due to the activation limits.

    Trickster is problem only for Trapper.

    Noone calls Trapper weakest killer anymore... Trapper was famous with this weaknes but not anymore.

    He's still down there, they are buffing a lot of the lower tier killers lately so it's hard to tell but Wraith and clown got far bigger buffs than Trapper did.

    Some of the map changes actually nerfed trapper a little bit in fact.

    After he gets his buffs on Tuesday, I think the only problem left would be not being able to save your Main Event. He's already got some stuff about him that is pretty great and the buffs he's getting make them even better.

    Extremely weak killer that does not fit DBD at all.

    Yes, I would say Trickster is a problem.
