my thoughts on the dev update
mft: the nerf is 100% deserved. imo it deserves to die. love what they are going to do to it
trickster: his recoil change and speed change are perfect. the blade change or the main event change is a bit too much tho

I feel like Trickster's changes should be looked at as a whole rather than parts. The blade changes causes him to run out of blades faster, which gets offset with him being able to M1 more and main event more.
Its impossible to say what this will do to trickster without actually playing him. That is what PTBs are for and why everyone is flipping their ######### i dunno, they usually make changes on things from PTB to live anyway.
Yeah killing perks instead of balancing them is just fabulous. This goes for any perk on any side.
It's a terrible way to approach things and people defending this kind of uncreative thought pattern make me question their ability to think in a critical matter.
I overall like his changes, mainly movement speed and recoil. Throw rate is nice for sure.
I am pretty sure main event will have to be nerfed from that. 6 blades, with 3 blade using addons from 30 is just insane. You will get main event before you even injure survivor, that's just bad.
Survivors might be fine on Lerry's, but good luck on maps with short loops.
I think it should be like 10 knives without any addons lowering it, you can increase duration instead or something.
they are balancing it.
The fact that they're not reworking a killer perk, doesn't feel like a balance or Fair update.
I use the word "Fair" because that's the word the Devs used when explaining why they're reworking mft.
You are aware this isn't the last ever update DBD is going to get right?
There are Killer perks I think that need looking at, but MFT has been riding high for months, the data is in, and it needed dialing back. Survivors recently got bots, AFC, Xeno nerfs, Skull Merchant nerfs, great perks on Gabriel, Ripley and Nick Cage... noone really cared about those perks cause MFT was so much better.
Everyone is acting like it's a dead perk, it's not... it's still a good perk that helps vs. Tunneling AND Slugging, but it isn't the meta redefining perk it was before. A perk doesn't have to be better than Sprint Burst to be worth running.
Yes I'm aware this is not the last update DBD will ever get, that's not the point though.
I agree that MFT needs a nerf and I actually quite like what they did with it.
My issue is that it's a very one-sided update, they're updating two Maps Loop wise they're giving Trickster a buff and their nerfing a Survivor perk.
Regarding Killer perks
Face The Darkness, Save The Best For Last, Sloppy Butcher, Ultimate Weapon, Make Your Choice, Awaken Awareness, Fear Monger, Coulrophobia, Franklin's Demise.
The Devs could have picked just One Killer perk any Killer perk rework it and add it to this update but they didn't.
You see my point right? This isn't a balanced or Fair update (in my opinion) and if the Devs aren't going to nerf a Killer perk then maybe there's something else they do so that this would be a fair and balance update.
Developer updates like this one are usually months apart so if they decide to look at reworking Killer perk(s) it won't be for a while.
