Losing to Trickster is like losing to a Snail in a race

I literally had to stop playing Trickster after less than a day of playing him because I felt absolutely destroyed by every single match with zero chance of coming on top of any situation. This is coming from Rank 1 Killer/Survivor with over 2,000 hours into the game. Never before have I wanted to stop playing so quickly as when playing Trickster. He is sooooooooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

  • His animation to prepare to throw the blades is slow enough for survivors to get to safety behind a corner before Trickster can throw a single blade at them. Also, why does the meter even decay while in the chase, shouldn't it start decaying once exiting out of chase?
  • His aim is butchered to a level where throwing blades becomes a matter of luck rather than mastery, and this, for no real reason. There clearly is no balance in this. Why Huntress has perfect aim with giant hitboxes for single hit damage but Trickster who has to land multiple blades has to scream for the divine powers of heaven to hope to hit anyone with a single blade.
  • He is way too freaking slow to catch anyone for M1. Survivors can loop pallets and windows for the full extent, no matter if you mind game them, Trickster is still plenty slow to reach survivors for M1 before they leap to safety or drop a pallet once noticing their mistake.
  • There is a reason why Clown's bottle aim slow was removed and now Clown can run normal speed while aiming with bottles to throw. Shouldn't it had been obvious that Trickster needs the same treatment with his blades? I am not talking about when you actually throw the blades, but when you aim them, there should not be slow treatment at all.

Seriously BHVR, you should be ashamed to release yet another Killer in a row that clearly had no place to be released in this state. First Twins with its countless bugs, and now Trickster with zero balance/optimization. It's like you want people to stop buying Killers. I for sure will think twice next time when purchasing unlicensed killers, that you can be certain of.
