So...is nobody going to talk about the awful state of Trickster?
Trickster on the PTB very clearly had a few issues that were thankfully ironed out, but as they took out the things that made him overpowered BHVR for some reason found it necessary to completely butcher him and do changes no one asked for...why? He's been consistently an at best mediocre Killer and at worst a Killer with no power, so why would they take out the one thing that makes him bearable to play, aka the ramp-up mechanic?
Trickster starts by throwing 3 knives per second and after a small amount of time he goes to 4, but they completely removed that and hard-capped him at 3, even with main event making him feel so awful play that any quality of life changes they made to him are rendered completely null. Never mind the fact that they changed it so you need to hit 8 knives for an injury making it take forever to get even a single injure. They turned Trickster into a Killer that despite being weak had some fun things about him like being able to down the whole team in mere seconds to a straight-up worse clown whose power is so worthless now its better off using it to just zone survivors instead of you know...doing the thing hes advertised as, the machine gun killer.
So, he only has 44 knives, needs 8 to injure, and throws 3 knives per second meaning after every single chase you'll need to reload, unlike Huntress who if you're good enough with you could go a chase or two without needing to reload, or deathslinger/clown who can reload on the fly. Goes without saying they need to go back to the drawing board and fix him.

They've said theyre gonna change his throw speed, while I hope they do add back the ramp up mechanic it's probably not gonna happen since it was also tied to recoil and movement speed reduction which is gone.

Exactly. I expect a negligible “buff” and him to be left in the trash heap with Freddy, Trapper, and Clown.

People are complaining, it's just that if BHVR decides that they aren't changing him, no enough complaining will work. See: Pig, Twins, Deathslinger or any other killer that has became a meme at this point

His main issue in the PTB was just Main Event being easily abused, as it is now it is actually worse than before the "buff".
At this point I would rather have Main Event let you throw daggers while retaining base speed, or anything really. I mostly feel bad for the few Trickster mains who got shafted, but to the point they deserve a Trickster rollback until you can nail a rework with him.

what about add-on's? are they going least improve iri photocard to ptb levels and make fizz soda/autograph do something meaningful?

I feel like he's A LOT more addon dependent. I swear momento knives + lucky blade/watch is a must pick. It doesn't help the fast decay rate, but man it feels way better imo than all his other options.

Please take a look at the Trickster Feedback thread built by the officials.There are a lot of opinions and feedback being developed.
It is not at all reflected in the content of the most recent update, so whether the management will pick it up or not is another story. ......
