The trickster is way to overpowered now everytime i see hes in my game it makes me wanna set my controller down and walk tf away. I played against him yesterday and his knives are so fast i cant move 2 ft without going down, the only way you can survive is if he miraculously runs out of knives and even then he can get them back in 3 seconds. His power main event is just insane you can counter it by getting in a locker but he can still just get you afterwards. Playing trickster takes absolutely 0 skill at all. He used to be the worst killer in the game and he jumped up to being one of the most annoying and overpowered killeds right up there with twins, but twins is just really annoying. The trickster shouldnt have so many knifes, throw them so damn fast, be able to hold so many and be 120% speed. Its just an overall overpowered character, if he didnt have his knifes i would love to play against him ive played against some killers who didnt use his knives and it was fun. But it just makes me wanna quit the game hes just unfair to play against you cant do anything really your just kinda ######### if he decides it. Once he pulls out his knifes your just dead

    Trickster is one of the weakest killers in the game already. He hardly needs nerfs.

    Damn you made a forum account just to make a nerf post about a singular match that happened yesterday about one of the more weaker killers in the game?

    Let me explain your points and how you're thinking incorrectly about this killer and what you can do next time you face him. I'll try to keep them short and sweet as I tend to ramble on about Trickster.

    1. "the only way you can survive is if he miraculously runs out of knives"

    Trickster is easily counterable via cutting off line of sight, killer shack, any tall loops, or simply moving side to side to make him waste some of his knives.

    2. "even then he can get them back in 3 seconds"

    It's definitely not as short as 3 seconds, but if he decides to reload during a chase he pretty much loses it unless you decide to stay around him. He can't make up distance easily.

    3. "His power main event is just insane you can counter it by getting in a locker but he can still just get you afterwards"

    His power slows him down a lot. Unless you're out in the open he's probably not gonna get a down with it. Refer back to 1 if you want to know what to hide behind during his main event.

    Overall lesson of the story? Don't cry for nerfs on a weaker killer just because one did well. He's a killer that excels in open areas, but is completely stomped by areas that block line of sight. Utilize his weak spots against him. Don't run in a line in an open area and wonder why he's killing you fast. He definitely needs some buffs in his weak areas to make him a more rounded killer. Most people don't know how to loop him because he's one of the more rare killers played, and he definitely takes a while to learn to be proficient with him.

    Now we kinda understand what fun and boring means to people when it comes to opposite side right?

    I ran into some good Tricksters lately.

    Don´t try to save from Hook - of course all tried. No joke in SoloQ.

    Its more appropriate to say that he's a very black and white killer. He either has a huge upper hand or he struggles A LOT.

    Actually, the better argument would be that the Trickster is boring to play against because all you do during the match is mend. Which was the original reason he was nerfed. The buff just caused it to happen again. He really needs a rework instead of a nerf or buff. His mechanic is awful.
