The Trickster
I want to clarify that I am by no means saying he's good, I'm saying he's not as horrible as people made him out to be.
He does have strengths and his ability is not completely useless but his downsides equally weigh him down if not more.
Is he the weakest killer in dbd? Remains to be seen as its only been two days but he probably is. Is he unplayable? No, he is very playable and once you get use to playing him he cam be very fun. Does he need buffs? Definitely though nothing extreme.

The issue with him is for everything he does, there is a killer who can do it better

Just compare him to Plague.
- Both can hit survivors with their abilities to injure them in a similar way.
- Both have a special ability they can get.
But Trickster has some considerable downsides:
- He is 110% while she is 115%.
- You need to manually fill the meter with his knives and if you stop they decay overtime. With Plague you can just touch them with your ability and it will fill itself, also it can spread to other survivors.
- He has to reload when she has infinite shots.
- His special ability has a 50:50 chance to be a hinder or a slight help, usually when you are low on ammo. Plagues special ability on the other had is one of the most oppressive abilities in the whole game.
- Plagues infection also has the added bonus of survivors having to spend time cleansing to get rid of it. It also trumps all healing perks and Medkits.
And the only advantage of Trickster is that he can down people with his ability. He is basically a combination of the worst parts of Huntress and Plague, I have faced many Tricksters with amazing aim that played really well and made amazing plays, but none of them got more than a single kill because of how little pressure this killer brings to the table.

He is the worst killer in game now, but that doesn't mean he is unplayeble or terrible. It just means any other killer can do better than him, sadly.
