Main Event Waste Protection Idea
Currently as it is, if Trickster lands enough knives to gain main event he has a limited time to use it, I think 30 seconds. If the timer runs out, main event is lost completely and he must build it back up from scratch.
An idea that I’ve thought about to help with this is to keep the timer as is, but if the timer runs out, instead of having to rebuild from scratch, what if he instead only lost a quarter/half of his power gauge? If you wanted it down to the amount of knives, maybe between 6 and 15 knives or so?
What are your thoughts? I think this would help the sense of urgency as to both not waste his main event when it’s not necessary and also to prevent it from being lost completely if not given an ample opportunity to use it all without letting him hold onto it and use exactly whenever he wants.

Or maybe even just doubling is main event time window would at least be way better than his current main event.
it should held until activated like blood fury.
Well BHVR has made it clear they don’t want him to be able to do that, so I think this is a good compromise.
True, but that would be a bit of a lazy change in my opinion. Plus having the golden aura around your screen for so long would be annoying for me at least.
wait, what?
they did?
that's a shame...
The problem with that, is that Bloodfury doesnt have full control on mobilty and doesnt have any shot at downing survivors who split up. Main Event has that potential. Even though it would be a rare occurance, all Trickster has to do at that point is to make the game last as long as possible to increase the chance of that situation happening.
Trickster already has a lot of niche strengths with very environmental depending counterplay that can make him semi-annoying to face since you have to avoid getting downed untill you reach certain structures. Giving him effectively an instawin, when he already has an addon that gives him the oppertunity to do so right now(sort off, death throes refreshes your entire inventory of knives, if you can down 2 people with main event, that means you can keep on slugging), and that addon is underrated since, like trickster himself, it's depending on the environment given to him.
What I personally would change first, is to actually have his m1's count towards Main Event too. The main issue there is that you couldnt hold Main Event at 29 blades so you effectively have it at 99% to save it for a very special occasion, but it would give him the ability to trigger Main Event a lot more often during the match too. Which is what I think he is missing the most. Right now, Main Event's value is quality over quantity, making it very hard to pull off. Turning Main Event into quantity over quality allows Trickster to play a lot more aggressively with his power, getting value out of it even if it's not the best situation.
