Why the Hillbilly nerf is still so bad.
After playing the new Hillbilly i've came to the conclusion that the change is still very bad.I think that the cool down rate is now ok(not perfect) but the heat up is still too much because charging up the chainsaw entirely builds up 1/4 of the heat bar which is way too much .This affects experienced players so much because they tend to use the chainsaw a lot in various situations,unlike the less experienced players who tend to play him more like an M1 killer.Also,curving seems very weird and anoying.The biggest turn you could made when starting a chainsaw sprint was about 90-95° and now it is almost an 180° turn which makes it so that when you curve around the corner,you often hit the wall.
Finally, here are some sugestions: -make it so that you only gain heat after you rev the chainsaw for more than 3 seconds or greatly reduce the heat gained when you charge up the chainsaw
-make it so that you don't gain heat at all when sprinting with the chainsaw and you only gain heat when bumping into something or greatly increase the cooldown rate when the chainsaw is fully heated up because those 15 seconds are too much and also please fix the curve.
However,my biggest sugestion is to just revert the nerf completly because most people agree that the Hillbilly didn't need a nerf at all and he was such a fun killer to play as and againts.

Honestly it's a complete non-issue. I played a game on Blood Lodge where I was trying all kinds of ambitious chainsaws and constantly revving, and I didn't once overheat. Plus the brown addon to increase the overheat cap makes it borderline impossible to. While I still feel like it didn't need to be done in the first place, at the end of the day it only really affected facecamping Billys and maybe the occasional around-the-world zoning saw.

Take this with a grain (or a pinch) of salt but 1 game with new Hillbilly (went well) on Grim Pantry and I felt like I didn't overheat but only used the saw for mobility not for downing survivors
I might have to play more as him to get a better feel for him

THe problem is that he i extemly hard to learn particularly if you haven't mastered him yet, so no matter your results its an automatic lose ( At leas thats been my games, I can't play ######### as Billy, he sucks)

That's the idea, that he has an overheat to balance him, however as others have stated in 99% of cases it will never come into effect so it was entirely pointless.

The overall change isn't really a nerf, just a rework. I couldn't get Adept acheivement with him until this change. His addons are kinda weird but on par with everyone else really. I think too many people just hate change.
