    I still think trickster has plenty of weaknesses to warrant his strength and places near the middle of the roster due to them, sure his power is decently strong but he does have flaws to balance him out

    40 meter lullaby so undetectable is weaker on him and he often starts chases further than most other killers so survivors have time to put objects between them and the trickster buying themselves and their team time

    ammo / reloading, 44 knives and a 4 second reload hold him back decently or force him to give up perks and addon slots (which could be used to make him stronger or patch other holes in his kit) to reload or have more knives, which limits his potential for strong builds with a sacrifice for doing so

    4.4 killer, can't chase normally, if he runs out of his power or is in a place where he can't use his power he is remorselessly bullied due to the fact he is a 4.4 killer, meaning some areas of maps, or a trickster who doesn't manage their power is forced to lose chases or waste a lot of time

    map dependency, there are many maps that can absolutely cripple tricksters ability due to its layout or design, indoor maps with plenty of items to place between you and the trickster can deny him usage of his power for a long time due to how close he now needs to be to use it and the fact he has to catch up on that distance as a 4.4 killer

    There are many killers with even more strength than trickster and or less weaknesses, I think he is fine in his current state other than maybe taking a look at his purple addons

    Trickster doesn't need a nerf — he needs to be better balanced. He's very strong in his strong areas and even weaker in his weak areas.

    I always say that doing well with Trickster requires you to dedicate your time to learn him. In retrospect that also helps you significantly in playing against him. I know every single loop that's good for him and I know every loop that's bad for him. So when I'm playing survivor that gives me the upper hand against him.

    I've had a very small amount of games where I actually versus a Trickster, because I always drop my item for him and I'm nice to any I see and most of the time they'll be nice to me back. But I've had a couple that didn't want to be nice to me and I know exactly what loops to take him so he'll struggle.

    As the person above me said trickster is a very unbalanced killer with a lot of weaknesses, but also really strong strengths. He is not better than nurse or spirit like some people claim but he can be excellent on the right map with the right person playing him.

    However, good survivors who spread out will always destroy him. He has no mobility and still can be slow to down people on any tall loops. But out in the open he will quickly down/injure someone

    Trickster can only down survivors super fast if they are caught out of position. Which a killers like Myers, Ghostface, and Leatherface who have built in instant downs can already do.

    Sometimes you get bad map matchups for the killer you are facing, but try running Trickster around tall walls and other LoS breakers and you'll find it'll take him much longer to get downs if he commits to using his power.
