As a Trickster main, please re-work his main event ability

As the title says, please re-work his main event.

There are so many times where I could've used main event when a group of survivors are bunched up together double healing an injured player.

Most of the time it only activates when you're in the middle of a chase throwing blades, your main event activates but there's nobody in sight except the survivor you just downed, you pick them up and hook them. Your main event is already 3/4 gone before it's gone for good, making you have to build up the main event charges again.

You might be thinking that I should be smarter about when to throw my knives, but why should I have to be a slow af M1 killer just to utilize my main event effectively? There's killers like Myers and Ghostface that can 99% their stalk, making their learning curve larger for more skilled players so why can't Trickster have the same thing?

Trickster's chase potential is horrible by just using M1, so I have no choice but to use my knives which forces the main event to prematurely activate when there's nobody to use it on.

    Trickster right now is 2nd best camper in game right after bubba. Make this change and he would get #1 position. I acknowledge the killer is in a weak spot. But boy if he gets someone in the basement. Not even bubba can shred thue collective healthstates as quickly as trickster w main event (and if we remove lockers, it's absolute gg)

    Not even close, you could never even pull a save to begin with, with a Bubba ready to Rev

    Against Trickster while the savior has Dead Hard, everyone is getting away. This also is only going to work once, since he would have to charge it up to begin with. And if he camps first thing...he's never going to have his power to be a threat at all.

    I have seen couple times 3 man save w 4 DH that went into main event. The result was fully occupied hooks in basement. Only 1 person got back from basement stairs (but not from main building). Not even Bubba can get this far this consistently (assuming main event is on demand)

    You could honestly improve it by just having main event drop to 50% if it's unused instead of going away entirely



    And let's not ignore that you can still camp easily if it's 99'd by chance.
