Broken or just me?

[Bl4se🎔]

Why is the killer : The trickster so broken? no way not to get hit all the time and down in no time lol

What do you all think about him?

[Lylex]

He is definitely annoying to deal with, especially if the person playing him is skilled.

the problem isn't the Trickster, it's the people not understanding counterplay. The most important Trickster countering tips:
1. Always focus on cutting LoS with him while in chase, avoid open chases at all costs.
2. If Trickster is camping a hook, don't, and i really mean don't even attempt trading hook at all. Trickster is the ultimate king of hook camping and trading will just end up in both unhooker and unhooked surv getting downed very fast

i feel like im okay to have a killer in a chase for a okay log time, but this guy i just can´t haha

the knife he can use, i think it´s way too many and long time he can use them

[Vudash]

he is weak

Trickster is not widely used so when you encounter him it is a player good at using him.

His shots are actually not in a straight line so hitting people requires some skills. Due to his recent rework with more frequent Main Events he became more dangerous.

Lets just compare trickster to huntress for a second. Then you know why he has so many knifes at once.

If a knife hit would instantly injure i would understand the critique but this looks more like you just dont know how to play against trickster.

I assure you, dealing with a good huntress is much harder than dealing with a good trickster. For trickster you have various maps that counter him as a whole alredy, you just need to hug high structures really tight. And he will never catch up to you as long as he uses the knives, forcing him into an M1 killer.

Meanwhile huntress WILL hit you at every window and every pallet if she is good. And she also has cross maps too.

[eh why not]

Trickster is not even that good of a killer.. Sure if you're caught out in the open he can be a menace but usually you can just force him to be a m1 killer.

He CAN be a very strong killer. I can't remember the guys name, but the best trickster is actually insane with him. Hits with a solid 90% of his knives.

That being said, most tricksters aren't that good, and if you just move a little, they will miss a good chunk of there knives.

You get a person that is really good at the game and any killer can be good. I often play trapper w/o perks and still do ok. Occasional 4K, most games end in draw 2 dead 2 alive, some games I get stomped. A lot of it comes down to what map you end up with. I'm not saying I'm really good at the game either.

There is a difference between a bad killer and a good killer regardless. Even a top tier trapper will likely fail against a top tier team. Top tier trickster though, while maybe not super consistent, HAS beaten a top tier team. Wacek, like any dedicated main, is actually completely insane with him. The dedicated mains who actually play a lot are all extremely good.

Trickster is too strong on big/open maps and weak on small/closed maps.
Personally I hate to face him on the first situation but I can handle him decently at the second.
While having him I can say I´m not very good playing with him and what I said above does applies to my difficultty of having a good match when I decide to mostly throw knifes. Some maps you´re better going full throwing and others it´s better to mostly M1 so in the end it all comes down to RNG and the killer player skill with him.

[persistentPerfection]

by design, trickster only forces you into lose-lose situations most of the time, unless the killer is inexperienced. just pray to the rng gods and hope for the best

[DMesse]

Trickster is one of the many, excessively map design dependent killers. You'll find that his powers are often laughably easy to dodge when there are plenty of obstacles.

[NinjaOfComedy YT TTV]

Unless dealing with the Trickster in often long narrow paths that he throws and only takes about 10 knives to take one health state and another 10 to down you. People often just spray away with their knives so they can guarantee a higher chance of hitting you out of the pocket full he carries in one go.
