Sooo... How many Hillbillies have you guys seen so far?

I've seen exactly ONE in the past week or two and I didn't even really get to play the match because we had a DC and we all ######### up and went down in 30 seconds. I honestly wish I had a chance to try and juke him.

It's disheartening really... he was pretty fun to go against wherever I played survivor on the occasion. I never really liked playing him myself, but I hope Billy mains weren't too turned off by the nerf...

    I'll be honest I see a lot less than I used to. In the past week I've had about three. I play daily.

    Well, everyone was happy with past-PTB billy. That was an obvious problem so BHVR slapped a nerf on that overpowered dude.

    Now we are waiting for the nerf to base huntress and the trash addons they invent to padd the nerf, when all people want is iri head removed / changed.

    Then the sprirt nerfs and freddy rework will happen.

    I've run into a lot of Billy's. In fact I'd say it's probably the killer I've faced the most recently.

    Before 4.1.2, probably about 1 every 20-25ish matches, and now... yeah...

    I’ve seen a few tonight. They’re usually running amok and whistling Dixie. Billy is always fun to play against. Shame they neutered him. Don’t think it helped him get any dates considering his looks weren’t helping.

    1200 hours on dbd with billy being my main and i Havent played billy since they changed him back to PTB billy.

    He just feels clunky and his add ons are just weird a stealth billy? 😂

    1 billy in the past 3 weeks, I don't blame billy mains if they don't want to use the joke that he is now.

    Tbh I rarely see Hillbillies in high ranks, but since way before the change so I can't really tell the reason.

  • PigMainClaudette

    They're pretty rare now, but I'm actually glad that they are because now I'm getting a wide variety of killers to face. There hasn't even been this massive influx of Spirit players that everyone was prophesying. Slight increase in the number of Oni players, but I only see that as a good thing compared to the same players playing Hillbilly.

    almost never now, i saw one today (after playing almsot all day). so is terrible, i see way more bubas actually.

    Considering how the heat mechanic basically never works as intended (unless you're just new to playing Billy and/or holding your rev) I'm shocked that I haven't seen much Billy players either. Not complaining though, I'm getting a nice variety of killers these days.

    I've been playing hillbilly all evening, just for fun no addons. Its been a 4k or 4 escape yoyo fest but every game has been fun. I never played him much before the changes and probably won't play him much after either but I had a lot of fun with him today so I don't see what the problem is really.

    People take this stuff to seriously.

    You severely underestimate the power of the Pig fanbase. I doubt that there has been any killer who's been nerfed as much as Pig.

    After the update, I still the same amount of billys as before, (sometimes)

    I run into them a lot less. I can count on my fingers the number of times I seen them and I play daily.

  • xenotimebong
    xenotimebong Member Posts: 2,803

    I see way more now than I did before he was nerfed, actually.

  • Owlzey

    Since crossplay I've been seeing him more often lately, which is great since I enjoy playing against him.

    There may be a bit less of them I face now but those don’t perform really worse than before the rework.

    Usually I see maybe 1 or 2 billy every day if I go for a whole survivor session (10-15 hours) most people are doing the old tome or the current so its often Huntress, Legions and Hags

  • Zaonhort
    Zaonhort Member Posts: 101

    I play every day for at least a couple of hours usually I've only seen one in the past 1-2 weeks. It's sad since I like his new music and stuff. I wish they didn't rework him. All that was needed was an addon rework and that's it.

  • MrDardon

    I had 2 Billy's yesterday.

    One normal Billy with 2 brown Add Ons and a 4.4/Mothers Helpers / New Era Instasaw Billy.

    I play mostly Billy. I decided to switch to Pig for prestiging but I will mostly play Billy soon enough. I still go addon less and he’s perfectly fine.

    I saw very few and low skill level. After the nerf many good billy left

  • Mister_xD
    Mister_xD Member Posts: 7,669

    honestly, i havent seen any more or less billies than i did prior to the nerf.

    they were quite rare already, at least for me.

  • Masochistic_Killer
    Masochistic_Killer Member Posts: 413

    I think I've seen one.. 105 hours in the last two weeks according to Steam... I didn't see them much before the nerf anyway so not sure if this is more or less.

  • ShrekTheThird69

    Only one, and he was a new player when mmr was still on.

    Literally, without exaggeration.

    0.

  • xenofon13

    After the first nerf, literally ONLY 1 MMR rank 20 victim.

    He's kind of a Nurse situation. Does not feel as good to play anymore.

  • Fog_King
    Fog_King Member Posts: 688

    Not many. I have seen him less than before, that is true. But since I hate how loud he is now, with his chainsaw and him screaming, I'm glad. (I don't hate the killer, but the chainsaw could make less noise, like before and his screws are not needed at all)

  • Todgeweiht
    Todgeweiht Member Posts: 3,666

    Same amount as before. And I am kind of maining him right now, he is super fun.

    He is not bad, if you are struggling with the overheat bring the punctured muffler, but once you learn how to manage heat it's not really necessary. He has a really fun add-on set.

    For a build, I would recommend Tinkerer - Pop - Infectious and a fourth perk of your choice

    His add-ons are amazing IMO, with only a handful that actually feel useless.

    Rarely saw Billie's before, never seen a post patch Billie

  • EvilJoshy
    EvilJoshy Member Posts: 5,295

    I haven't seen any since his rework but then again I rarely play anymore. I played for like 5 hours with some friends and we saw several killers. None were billy. We even saw a Nurse. Then the MMR system came out and we just haven't played since.

  • OniKobayashi

    Well considering that I hate waiting for games, I haven't played Survivor much. But I did see one since the update.

    I stopped playing dbd because of this stupid nerf, came back only because of crossplay to play with my wife. Tried billy on kyf, felt disgusted and didn't play killer since. Only enjoying the company of my wife on swf...
