When Hillbilly gets his rework.
This is a joke...hopefully.
We have found that Hillbilly was frustrating to play against for new players due to his excellent map pressure and chainsaw attack so we have decided to make some changes to his kit to bring him more in line with other killers while maintaining the playstyle of everyones favorite chainsawing killer :).
Hillybilly's chainsaw movement speed will be increased slightly, but will only be able to travel a fixed distance with a slight cooldown which can be increased with addons. We felt Hillybilly being able to cross the entire map with his chainsaw sprint allowed for him to start and end chases too quickly for most survivors to handle. With this change he will still maintain his sprint in chases, but limit his snowball potential and map pressure.
Hillbilly's chainsaw attack will no longer put survivors in the dying state, instead inflicting them with broken and recieving mangled, hemorrhaged, and reduced repair rate status effects lasting for 120 seconds. Due to now applying these powerful status effects by default, Hillbilly's cooldown on hitting and missing survivors will be substantially increased. This can be reduced by addons.
Hillbilly Chainsaw Sprint distance: 15m
Chainsaw cooldown to sprint: 3 seconds
Chainsaw stun on collision: 5 seconds
Chainsaw cooldown on hitting a survivor: 3 seconds
Overall this rework of Hillbilly will allow him to maintain pressure while also providing the survivors with a less frustrating experience. See you in the Fog.

The doctor and ruin nerf isn't even out yet...

None of this would surprise me - but if they mess with his base kit and addons (aside from adding ultra rares), even their most brown-nosed fog whisperers will tear them a new one.

Billy is perfectly balanced like all things should be. If they touch him I’m just done.
I love seeing billy as a survivor.

I demand banjos if he gets his own music.
