Trickster is literally unplayable

I've tried to see how he'd perform after the latest changes and I must say: I'm extremely disappointed. Why on earth did you feel the urge to compensate his "buffs" with nerfs to his projectile hitbox-size and other things such as his reduced knife-inventory and that supershort laceration timer?

It's insanely hard trying to hit your knives from any distance now, it's quite literally making him unplayable. It feels like you're throwing hairneedles at people instead of actual knives. I've tried using his red addon (the one which exposes survivors who've eaten 4 knives at least) and it still didn't make a difference. I guess it's back to equipping NOED and camping people again.

BHVR has somehow managed to make the worst killer even worse now. It's a complete disgrace to ANYONE who has purchased his chapter with money while also investing into his cosmetics. You've betrayed our hopes once again.

    He’s definitely better now he just requires some more skill to play

    I'm pretty sure they didn't change his knife hitboxes.

    Also... it isn't a flat nerf and he's not unplayable. Needing 25% fewer knives to injure and Main Event starting 3x faster are not small buffs. I do however think they took everything too far. If they just split the difference with just about everything they've done and get rid of the lower cap on throw rate, Trickster should be better.

    I gave him a test whirl yesterday and he feels much better to play. When in the good position, you get downs a whole lot quickier and easier, Main Event is an actual threat thanks to its shorter wind-up and you do have to give more thought as to when you should use knives and when you should just either go for a melee attack or just let the survivor go.

    All in all, I had time to play 6 games of him and I got a single Entity Displeased. Which is a much better outcome than always disappointing the Entity.

    Why is he still labelled as easy?

    He's a nightmare with controller

    His hit boxes are fine. It's just console is alot harder to aim with.

    On console he's still the worst killer in the game. Hitting a survivor with a blade is so hard to do on a controller. He's only a viable killer for PC players which is totally unfair imo. He's in desperate need of a speed buff to rectify his unbalanced nature between PC and console.
