WHY TRICKSTER IS SO HATED ?

    People think his design doesn't fit because he's not an UwU tortured creature and he's just a psychopath. These people are dumb and don't appreciate good character design and backstory

    Asian stuff=bad

    Well groomed=probably gay

    Bright colors=see above


    This is all people need to hate Trickster. His kit could be giving water to orphans and volunteering at an elderly dog shelter and the amount of people who utterly loathe his existence will not decrease. Sorry to call it like it is, but this playerbase is quite irrational when it concerns what "belongs" in DbD.


    But yeah, his actual kit leaves much to be desired and is only really optimal on PC.

    Because you're terrible at playing as survivor and give up on your 1st hook most of the time, so you refuse to learn anything nor take any advice from others.

    But sure you keep living in your own little bubble 😂

    No counter play? bruh this guy SUFFERS around tall loops not short filler loops. If you truly think he has no counter play.. then clearly you haven't seen a survivor run a long wall against him. It can take triple if not quadruple the amount of time to down someone at a long wall compared to a auto haven junk loop where he can just throw over it and hit them.

    That huntress part I don't agree with. Her power just puts you into 50/50s just like old spirit, you either run through the pallet and she catches up and hits you or you throw the pallet and she throws a hatchet and hits you. And if you're running towards a window and she pulls up a hatchet you either vault and get hit or fake it and get hit. I don't know why people love huntress so much when she's the same as all the other ranged killers with counterplay, or how little there is of counterplay I should say.

    He is trash. He would be good, if the lacaration meter would never lower until the survivor loses one health state. If you are at a reasonable distance to actually hit the knives through all that obstacles in every damn map, you could just swing m1.

    Ghost Face stalk meter does not disappear over time and he can down someone with one hit. It's not even hard to do it right. No reason Trickster has to be that bad.

    I think he's cringe lol.

    The Idea is good but trickster original design with that Yellow and pink attire are so ????? To me...

    His Power is horrendous on console imo,especially the recoil that makes him almost look at the sky, yet a good trickster seems to hit everything in less than 3 seconds and he becames even more obnoxious.

    And people say trickster is so hot and yadda yadda yet for me he's so...weird looking, he has some snake eyes idk, almost reminds me of orochimaru in some way.

    Considering that he only needs 6 knives for a full health state, 12 for a down (from healthy). He still has 3x the amount in his kit, which is still very forgiving and still allows him to mindlessly spam the knives.

    Cause people have issues, nothing is wrong with the man, but they wanna respect no brain killers like bloat whale bubba who takes no brain to get a easy 4k. People is never satisfied , if people like me want him to have 115% ms they say that is broken, then you have others who say he is underpower or want his power change, reality is the man is not going no where so haters can hate on him all they want.

    Exactly and what about legions , they dont fit the game to me either cause like trickster they are human.

    i dont really know.

    most of my time against him i just need to press shift+w and maybe wiggle a little while doing that to dodge his knives

    (because the *right arm knive throw* knive flies a little more to the right than the *left arm knive throw* knive. so you can dodge it a little by wiggling)

    by that time he hit 3 knives im already at a looping spot.

    my english is bad

    I think fear is subjective.

    however, I like him. his power's oppressive in chase, and his perks are fun.

    Why are so many people revering huntress as "more fun" to play as and to go against?

    Personally I can't stand her. I believe she's way more oppressive overall. Do people not understand that what trickster can do huntress does way better?

    Do you not realize that trickster still falls victim to holding W, while huntress is one of few killers that can potentially counter that tactic?

    They both fall victim to line of sight breakers, but huntress has more potential to hit something and get a health state or down out of it.

    They both excel at camping, huntress is just better at it.

    Huntress's power is applicable in pretty much every tile, while trickster's power is often just straight up limited.

    If you're out in the open against a huntress, you get hit by a microwave. If it's trickster, he bombards you with steak knives.

    Let's just forget that trickster's lullaby actually stretches father than huntress's, giving survivors more time to skedaddle. Let's not say anything about how unforgiving the laceration mechanic can be sometimes. No let's compare him to OG legion, which is absolutely comical.

    I guess my question here is, What is actually the difference? The only valid argument I can see is that trickster has more chances to miss. I think people just hate trickster because of the spam aspect of his power, as well as the misperception that he takes less skill to play and is much more forgiving. When the same arguments against him can be very well used in regards to how huntress plays as well, and even more so.

    Admit it, ya'll just hate on him cuz he's K-pop.

    Exactly but they wanna respect pre deranged teenagers like legion , at least trickster is apparently an adult and has a life unlike those dumb nut case buckets, how is legion play style not boring and huntress with her hmm hmm like some deranged looney toon and most of them lately are tunneling hungry gluttons. I never get any trickster that tunnels me or is toxic like huntresses can be.
