Trickster Rework

I played trickster since release and he’s is a mid tier killer which has a semi strong 1vs1. Depending on the map and/or the tiles that come with it. If there’s a lot of line of sight he won’t have a good time, if the map is open the survivors won’t have a good time. Which is a bit to situational and has no skill involved, only advantage. So I came up with some changes that will balance it a bit more and reward both sides for playing good. Regardless of the map. 

Changes are as following 

• Laceration will no longer decrease automatically. This is a huge problem with trickster since he is a range killer whose power relies on hitting blades but when it’s an indoor map he won’t be able to use his power and with laceration decreasing automatically it’s just horrible. In that case the killer has no Control or input. That’s why the automatic decreasing needs to go, so the blade that hits has actually a meaning. Especially paired with the following changes. 

• Survivors affected with laceration will get the action „remove blades“. Each blade will extend the time that it takes to remove blades. Each blade adds 1.5 Seconds, up to a total of 7.5 Seconds. Canceling the the action „Remove Blades“ will pause the meter, until you decide to continue or get hit with another blade. Blades can only be removed while standing. 

Main event is way too situational and can backfire way too much for being the MAIN EVENT. And in addition to that it also forces you to use it within a certain amount of time. 

Hitting 30 Blades will unlock main event with no timeframe 

Pressing ctrl will start the main event Mode, while in main event mode:

• 100% movement speed
• same start animation 
• You get 3 Blades, each blade takes one health state
• Blades won’t be thrown automatically 
• You can’t basic attack 
• You’ll remain in the throw state until you used all 3 blades or you canceled main event 
• Canceling main event or throwing the last blade will cause a fatigue animation to play

With these changes of main event the killer can keep main event for as long as he wants until he thinks it’s the perfect time to use it. And while main event is unlocked you won’t gain progress on your next main event which will make you that you can’t store several main events which would be way to busted. And using main event will actually get up to the meaning of „main event“ and not being the side thing that backfires a lot of times and is way to situational. 

All These changes will ensure more gameplay to both sides. Survivors will have to choose if they want to remove the blades and be safe or finish the gen that’s on 90% and take the risk of getting injured or downed if the killer is back before they removed the blades. Loosing the killer will also be more rewarding since the laceration is in your hands, so when you manage to loose the killer you can straight remove blades which will be a max of 7.5 Seconds, which is faster than current laceration. And on the other side Killers don’t need to fear loosing all their progress from hitting blades when having no line of sight through an unfortunate map. And especially since the survivors need to stand still in order to remove blades which rewards the killer for keep pushing. And If they run out of blades and decide to leave then their blades at least did something although it wasn’t a down or injure.

Keep in mind strong killers will be less likely to face camp you. And won’t automatically dominate you when the player isn’t good since bad players don’t know how to play the strong killers.
