Hey Devs Thanks!!

So glad that you didn't completely butcher billy and completely rework his power. the cooldown seems like a very interesting mechanic while also keeping billies identity intact, i really appreciate it. also leatherface rework looks amazing, hopefully this will make him more viable. Changes like this are just what the game needs, small new and unique ways of changing a killers power without completely nerfing everything about them. Just one question tho reguarding hillbilly, is the current animation for when you hit someone or stop sprinting going to stay or will it go back to the original one.

    I just really appreciate that the whole base power hasn't changed for both of them. still kept what makes them THEM.

    yes I agree @ShrekTheThird69 I also think that with the changes they've actually got a bit more of their own identity now, Bubba was always Billy's weaker cousin (viewed as at least) but now, I think it's his time to shine in his own right. The Add-On changes to both are also pretty great and I'm really looking forward to people's reactions to them.

    Hey Mandy don't you think having the PTB go live at the same time as the anniversary event is going on in the live version of the game will affect the reports ?

    I'm hoping that people will still want to try out the PTB @N0T0Ri0US - usually people go on there for at least a few hours over the course of the time it's up for. It's a shame that they overlap but sometimes these things happen and it's either put everything back a week or just stick to schedule - I think in this case sticking to schedule is probably right, because people are going to be interested enough to test out Billy & Bubba.

    You realize that his whole "identity" and playstyle is that of holding your chainsaw, as well as using skill and knowledge to curve, right? You realize they're nerfing basically every good Billy's playstyle and identity, right? No?

    Its much better than an entire rework that would completely change his power. I know it really sucks billy was one of my favorites but at least i can get some of the good billy plays with this change.(Not as many tho)
