The Trickster changes are a significant nerf
So the change from 4 knives a second to 3 knives a second also effects main event, making it 25% slower as well.
That combined with the quicker laceration decay and the more knives to damage survivors makes it just awful to play him now.

But he got buffed overall, he was at 3 knives per second before the PTB so technically he didn't even "change" in that regard
- 4.6m/s base speed
- 8 knives to get main event
- No more knife recoil
The quicker laceration decay is cancelled out by being able to use main event pretty much in every chase
Overall he is way better than before and he stomps pubs

He was 3 knives a second WITH ramping fire rate that after 8 blades he was 4 knives a second. He also had faster main event that has somehow been reduced in fire rate by 25% due to the decrease from the PTB somehow.
The 4.6m/s means nothing for a killer who is mostly in a power state that slows him down to slower than survivors and the 8 knives to get main event means nothing atm since Main Event is so slow its basically like normally throwing knives before this update.

he got nerfed. trickster was somewhat playable before because he had an add-on called iri photocard which gave him exposed for hitting 4 knives and he had fizz soda and autograph for throwing-rate. He also had death throes and +8 knives so he did not need reload at lockers. Now he has no good add-on, a terrible throwing mode and his main event is bad. he got nerfed to the ground. the throwing-rate change and 6->8 knives deleted his kit.

4.6 helps him to control the map, but dont help using his power. throwing knifes u have the same speed.

and 4.6 ultimately doesn't even impact map control (like on paper, you'd realize how it has next to 0 impact on patrol). it's only good for rounding loops, but it does nothing for Trickster. I agree about the throw speed decrease, it's the most relevant speed value for Trickster and 4.6 is worthless.

Try using him once. The main event throwing speed is also slowed down to match the reduction in normal throwing speed, so there is no point in activating him.
The old throwing speed has been raised by the number of hits needed to do damage at the old throwing speed, making it more difficult to do damage than before, depending on the terrain.
He was certainly too strong in PTB when using the Ultra Rare add-on, but he is a significant nerf when implemented on live servers.
