Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

The Trickster Nerf - Lets discuss!

I'm not a survivor main nor am I a killer main. I play both sides EQUALLY and I'm going to try and elaborate why 'The Trickster' should get a nerf and its the most simplistic nerf in the entirety of this game because lets face it, he's actually way too strong. You may not think it the way I do, but he is actually quite overpowered. I'd rather come against a face camping Bubba at that point. So, yeah, here is what I think needs to be done.

[Please do not comment anything that is made for trolling purposes or insulting purposes otherwise I'll report you]

So, I just had two games where 'The Trickster' had the same set of addons. Note, these were two different players. They both slugged and tunneled. The one thing that annoyed me was how fast the rate of downing someone with the throwing knives were. It was insanely fast. So, here is what I think should be done about that.

The Nerf:

  • Remove the addons that allow the throwing knives to injure/ down a survivor in a faster rate.
  • Make Trickster slow when he enables his throwing knives/ same thing when he uses his ability as well.

And that is it I reckon, if you have any suggestions feel free to display it on here.

    Trickster is among the worst Killers in the game, often considered the worst by some. If you can't deal with Trickster, holy hell I cannot wait to see how poorly you do against Plague, Huntress and Deathslinger.

    "I didn't like playing against this, so I want this and this to be nerfed"

    ...and you'd report us for calling you a troll when this reads so much like a bait post but whatever. And he already gets slowed when throwing knives and readying them. Have you tried this killer before (not that I would blame you if you hadn't)? I kinda agree with the first point, but he doesn't have any other redeeming qualities that warrant the removal of that add-on. It's the only thing that makes him decent, without it he's barely average. He would have to be buffed in some other way and that's when Trickster could become a problem.

    Ehm, no. You're essentially asking for ptb trickster to return, except even worse because you also want one of his best addons removed. Ptb trickster was garbage and making him worse than that? Just no.

    What? Are... Have you ever played Trickster? Literally the only thing he has going for him is he can't be looped for minutes at a time if the player is absolutely god-tier. He has no lethality, no map pressure, a terrible secondary power that i keep forgetting exists, a large lullaby, and boring, uninteractive counterplay.

    My suggestions post nerf

    change some addons so that they can down survivors faster / increase lethality

    increase move speed while throwing a bit so he can use his power at loops better

    then he would be in a pretty good spot with the nerfs/buffs

    In the game's current state trickster is nerfed. Just played a match for his crown and it was horrific. Could not even raise a knife without my screen freezing for a minimum of 6s. Great example of his weaknesses when forced to play at actual distance instead of in the dead zones.

    Trickster is fine

    he needs some buffs & he’ll be decent

    I'm actually really good against Plague, Deathslinger and Huntress. They are loop-able unlike Trickster where you must have either a riot shield on your back or just loop him where there's high raised objects between you and the Trickster. He can also just spam his blades unlike others.

    Playing both sides equally whilst having only about 50 hours in the game doesn't mean you have much experience
