State of trickster

Does anybody else think trickster is a very poorly designed killer?

Trickster is one of the most braindead killers to play, it is boring for both sides (but i will admit is slightly less boring for the killer side)

His power is just a worse and more annoying huntress and his design can be atrocious at times, despite having some of the coolest looking skins.

And his terror radius, while being thematically fitting, is ear gratingly bad, one of the only chase themes i actively HATE listening to.

He is also one of the strongest killers for camping but camping itself is just generally easy for any killer.

Im sorry if I sound a bit whiny but i think Trickster desperately needs some sort of rework or change.

Wouldn't even be mad if they straight up just removed him.

Atleast he has voicelines, GoobyNugget.

    I mainly don't like him on certain maps (ones like junkyard with lots of short walls), indoor maps are fine unless he has ricochet (which I think should be changed to one bounce only), ever since they tuned him up, his combo hits having increased build up can be frustrating.


    He can feel fun to play as but I really dislike his main event, I honestly just feel I have an issue with ricochet tbh.

    Now he's mostly fine. But when he was released you can tell there wasn't much forethought. In some ways he's better than Huntress now but overall you have to be really good with him to get good results.

    I just dont really enjoy playing as Trickster, I just think Huntress is more fun, but that's entirely subjective.

    But honestly, I enjoy playing against them. Trickster players just radiate this raw energy that is fun to play against, and honestly, I respect them for being able to tolerate playing that killer for more than 2 minutes.

    Anyone who says he's fine needs a reality check, sorry to say. He's weak, and yet he's very annoying. Throw in ricochet addons and suddenly he's a 1v1 god that will kill you just by throwing knives at a wall, and might still just lose because a grandma on a wheelchair gets around the map faster than he does. Overall just a failure in design.

    I don't know I can't play 4,4 m/s killers except spirit it's so painful on some maps, having to recharge in lockers is annoying and good players will make you run around the same small loop 25 times until you're forced to get pallet stunned it's so fun.. he's just good at camping that's it

    Mind games work, also loops have tiny cracks where you can throw knives to make progress. He has some utility
